Humanities & Social SciencesDecember 2022Class, work and whiteness
Race and settler colonialism in Southern Rhodesia, 1919–79
by Nicola Ginsburgh
This book offers the first comprehensive history of white workers from the end of the First World War to Zimbabwean independence in 1980. It reveals how white worker identity was constituted, examines the white labouring class as an ethnically and nationally heterogeneous formation comprised of both men and women, and emphasises the active participation of white workers in the ongoing and contested production of race. White wage labourers' experiences, both as exploited workers and as part of the privileged white minority, offer insight into how race and class co-produced one another and how boundaries fundamental to settler colonialism were regulated and policed. Based on original research conducted in Zimbabwe, South Africa and the UK, this book offers a unique theoretical synthesis of work on gender, whiteness studies, labour histories, settler colonialism, Marxism, emotions and the New African Economic History.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017'The better class' of Indians
Social rank, Imperial identity, and South Asians in Britain 1858–1914
by A. Wainwright
This is the first book-length study to focus primarily on the role of class in the encounter between South Asians and British institutions in the United Kingdom at the height of British imperialism. In a departure from previous scholarship on the South Asian presence in Britain, 'The better class' of Indians emphasizes the importance of class as the register through which British polite society interpreted other social distinctions such as race, gender, and religion. Drawing mainly on unpublished material from the India Office Records, the National Archives, and private collections of charitable organizations, this book examines not only the attitudes of British officials towards South Asians in their midst, but also the actual application of these attitudes in decisions pertaining to them. This fascinating book will be of particular interest to scholars and general readers of imperialism, immigration as well as British and Indian social history.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2014Class, ethnicity and religion in the Bengali East End
A political history
by Sarah Glynn
This exploration of one of the most concentrated immigrant communities in Britain combines a fascinating narrative history, an original theoretical analysis of the evolving relationship between progressive left politics and ethnic minorities, and an incisive critique of political multiculturalism. It recounts and analyses the experiences of many of those who took part in over six decades of political history that range over secular nationalism, trade unionism, black radicalism, mainstream local politics, Islamism and the rise and fall of the Respect Coalition. Through this Bengali case study and examples from wider immigrant politics, it traces the development and adoption of the concepts of popular frontism, revolutionary stages theory and identity politics. It demonstrates how these theories and tactics have cut across class-based organisation and acted as an impediment to addressing socio-economic inequality; and it argues for a left materialist alternative. It will appeal equally to sociologists, political activists and local historians. ;

Local and regional film censorship in the UK
by Sian Barber
This work scrutinises British film censorship from a local perspective. Examining different regions and areas, the work of individual councils and their relations with one another and with the BBFC, it offers a broad historical exploration of the intricacies of film censorship in action. Drawing on local archival material and considering the activities of local government in enforcing Cinematograph legislation, this work considers the significance of film censorship apparatus and processes in shaping and informing responses to and control of film culture in different locations across the twentieth century.

August 1993Kalkül der Form
Herausgegeben von Dirk Baecker
by Dirk Baecker, Dirk Baecker
Der oder das Kalkül? Der Titel dieses Buches läßt die Frage bewußt offen. Der Kalkül stellt auf das von der Logik bereitgestellte Instrument zur Durchführung von Berechnungen ab. Das Kalkül meint die Berechnung selbst im Hinblick auf ein anderes, im Kalkül selbst nicht Erfaßtes. In den Beiträgen dieses Bandes geht es um G. Spencer Browns »Gesetze der Form« im doppelten Sinne der Form eines Kalküls, der eingesetzt wird und Berechnungen ermöglicht, in denen er selbst noch einmal vorkommt als das, was er nicht erfaßt. Der Band enthält die allererste Besprechung der »Gesetze der Form«, die Heinz von Foerster für die kalifornische Ökofibel »Whole Earth Catalog« geschrieben hat, sowie Beiträge, die Spencer Brown im Kontext des optionalen Konstruktivismus, der modernen sowohl zwei- wie mehrwertigen Logik und einer Theorie des Paradoxen lesen.

American correspondences in visual and verbal practices
by Edited by Catherine Gander, Sarah Garland
Offering a major contribution to the field of American culture and aesthetics in an interdisciplinary frame, this collection assembles the cutting-edge research of renowned and emerging scholars in literature and the visual arts, with a foreword by Miles Orvell. The volume represents the first of its kind: an intervention in current interdisciplinary approaches to the intersections of the written word and the visual image that moves beyond standard theoretical approaches to consider the written and visual artwork in embodied, cognitive and experiential terms. Tracing a strong lineage of pragmatism, romanticism, surrealism and dada in American intermedial works through the nineteenth century to the present day, the editors and authors of this volume chart a new and vital methodology for the study and appreciation of the correspondences between visual and verbal practices.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2018Disability in the Industrial Revolution
Physical impairment in British coalmining, 1780–1880
by David M. Turner, Daniel Blackie, Julie Anderson
An electronic version of this book is also available under a Creative Commons (CC-BY-NC-ND) license, thanks to the support of the Wellcome Trust. The Industrial Revolution produced injury, illness and disablement on a large scale and nowhere was this more visible than in coalmining. Disability in the Industrial Revolution sheds new light on the human cost of industrialisation by examining the lives and experiences of those disabled in an industry that was vital to Britain's economic growth. Although it is commonly assumed that industrialisation led to increasing marginalisation of people with impairments from the workforce, disabled mineworkers were expected to return to work wherever possible, and new medical services developed to assist in this endeavour. This book explores the working lives of disabled miners and analyses the medical, welfare and community responses to disablement in the coalfields. It shows how disability affected industrial relations and shaped the class identity of mineworkers. The book will appeal to students and academics interested in disability, occupational health and social history.

August 1993Probleme der Form
by Dirk Baecker
Gibt es also doch etwas wie »Gesetze der Form«? Die Interpretation, die G. Spencer Brown seinem Kalkül der Form mit auf den Weg gibt, tut ihr Bestes, um diesen Eindruck zu erwecken. Freilich tut sie auch alles, um diesen Eindruck, kaum ist man bereit, ihm zu folgen, wieder zu dementieren. Beides zusammen macht Spencer Browns Formbegriff für eine Soziologie interessant, die aus der Vermutung, daß noch die Aufhebung der Gesetze Gesetzen folgt, eine Wissenschaft macht. Der Band versammelt Beiträge, die die Möglichkeiten des Formen- und Indikationskalküls zur Beobachtung der Dynamik von Bezeichnungen in Abhängigkeit von Unterscheidungen nutzen. Das reicht von frühen Entdeckungen des Formproblems im Roman und im Drama, in der Logik und in der Sprache über Rekonstruktionen des Zeichen-, Latenz- und Spielverständnisses bis zu Beschreibungen des Geldes, der Universität, des Staates, der sozialen Bewegungen, der Karriere und der Krankheit.
