The Official Record

Oversight, national security and democracy

by Peter Finn, Robert Ledger

The construction, control and preservation of the Official Record is inherently contested. Those seeking greater openness and (democratic) accountability argue 'sunlight is [...] the best of disinfectants', while others seek stricter information control because, to their mind, sound government arises when advice and policy are formulated secretly. This edited volume explores the intersection of the Official Record, oversight, national security and democracy. Through US, UK and Canadian case studies, this volume will benefit higher level undergraduate readers and above to explore the Official Record in the context of the national security operations of democratic states. All chapters are research-based pieces of original writing that feature a document appendix containing primary documents (often excerpts) that are key to a chapter's narrative. As a result, this book interrogates the boundaries between national security, accountability, oversight, and the Official Record.

The making of the Irish poor law, 1815–43

None

by Peter Gray

The making of the Irish poor law, 1815-43 examines the debates preceding and surrounding the 1838 act on the nature of Irish poverty and the responsibilities of society towards it. It traces the various campaigns for a poor law from the later eighteenth century. The nature and internal frictions of the great Irish poor inquiry of 1833-36 are analysed, along with the policy recommendations made by its chair, Archbishop Whately. It considers the aims and limitations of the government's measure and the public reaction to it in Ireland and Britain. Finally, it describes the implementation of the Poor Law between 1838 and 1843 under the controversial direction of George Nicholls. It will be of particular importance to those with a serious interest in the history of social welfare, of Irish social thought and politics, and of British governance in Ireland in the early nineteenth century. ;

The memory of catastrophe

by Peter Gray, Kendrick Oliver

Investigates the dynamic relationship between experiences of profound social and cultural disruption, and human memory. Critical comparisons are made across a wide variety of catastrophic experiences and memories; not just of war, but also of massacre, genocide, rebellion, famine, partition, shipwreck and fire. The book is an accessible showcase for a wide range of methodological approaches to the study of memory, including literary studies, cultural studies, participant-observation and historical studies, and uses a variety of oral, visual and written sources. Offers a diverse chronological and geographical range of catastrophic cases, from seventeenth-century England to the recent conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, from Ireland to the Indian sub-continent, from Mexico to wartime Leningrad. Well-written and accessible - a fascinating read. ;

The Burley manuscript

by Edited by Peter Redford. Series edited by J. B. Lethbridge

England and the 1966 World Cup presents a cultural analysis of what is considered a key 'moment of modernity' in the nation's post-war history. Regarded as having an importance beyond its primary sporting purpose, the World Cup in England is examined within the complexity of the cultural, social and political changes that characterised the mid-1960s. Yet, although addressing the importance of non-sport related connections, the book maintains a focus on football, discussing it as a 'cultural form' and presenting an original perspective on the aesthetic accomplishment in football tactics by England's manager, Alf Ramsey. The study considers the World Cup in relation to the cup tradition, England as the World Cup host nation, the England squad and masculinity, the modernism of England's manager Alf Ramsey, design and commercial aspects of the World Cup, a critical engagement within existing academic accounts, and an examination of how England's victory has been remembered and commemorated.

Werke. Berner Ausgabe

Band 10: Geschichten

by Robert Walser, Peter Stocker, Julia Maas

»Kleist in Thun« gehört zu den bekanntesten und stilistisch faszinierendsten Erzählungen, die Robert Walser geschrieben hat. Mit 26 weiteren Texten bildet sie die Sammlung Geschichten, Walsers siebtes Buch. Märchen, Künstlergeschichten, Erinnerungen, Liebesgeschichten und sogar eine Entführungsgeschichte in Form einer Tierfabel – die Texte sind inhaltlich wie formal vielfältig. Alltägliche, bald ungewöhnliche Episoden spielen sich ab: in einer Schule, einer Straße, im Büro oder im Theater. Den Figuren dienen diese Schauplätze als Raum der Selbsterfahrung. Doch der Themenhorizont umfasst auch eine historische Schlacht und eine utopische Stadt. So enthält die Sammlung etliche ›kleine Geschichten‹, welche die ›große Geschichte‹ berühren.
