Of good use or serious pleasure : Vitruvius Britannicus and early eighteenth century architectural discourse
Get PDFThe central thesis of this work is that Colen Campbell's
three volume Vitruvius Britannicus (1715-25) is not, as it has been frequently seen, a Palladian manifesto designed to change architectural practice in England (and in the process Campbell's own fortunes as an architect), but rather a publication celebrating architectural achievements, consumed by polite society.
The twentieth century view of Vitruvius Britannicus, stems from John Surnmerson's seminal work, Architecture in Britain 1530-1830. It posits Vitruvius Britannicus as a stylistic manifesto that served the particular interests of Colen Campbell and his associates as advocates of and builders in the Palladian style, and foregrounds the idea of the author. This view has been incorporated almost unquestioningly into subsequent interpretations not least
because it conforms to a powerful 'Whig' interpretation of history emphasising periodisation, style, revolution, development, and the search for origins. In contrast I argue that Vitruvius Britannicus met the demands of a market interested in architecture as a topic of polite
conversation. The subscription lists for Vitruvius Britannicus show that it was neither priced to be, nor received as, a builder's manual, nor was it a stylistic manifesto. Rather, it was a celebration of contemporary British architecture that gave pleasure and some instruction to polite society. Drawing on disciplines outside of art and architectural history, I consider
Vitruvius Britannicus as an object of consumption offering an alternative reading of the publication that highlights a number of important avenues for further research.
Chapter 1 positions the thesis within critiques of stylistic history. Chapter 2 briefly introduces
some historiographic issues, and then considers the contents and style of the publication, and
the nature of its subscribers. This highlights issues neglected in histories of Vilruvius Britannicus and challenges many of the commonly held conceptions of the publication. These conceptions are then examined in Chapter 3 in the light of evidence and issues raised in the
previous chapter. Chapter 4 considers other architectural and illustrated books and positions Campbell's work within wider publishing paradigms such as cartography and a literature of tourism. Chapter 5 outlines some of the intellectual ideas that influenced the way in which
publications such as Vitruvius Britannicus were understood. This is developed in Chapter 6 which considers the way in which Vitruvius Britannicus functioned within a contemporary
architectural discourse that codified the group identity of a polite elite

Guardian angels and teachers from hell: using metaphor as a measure of schools' experiences and expectations of General National Vocational Qualifications
No full textIn this paper the author examines some claims about the nature of metaphor, its possible significance in illuminating cultural, institutional, and personal constructs, and some ways in which this has been applied in educational research. To illustrate the application of metaphor analysis, the paper describes an examination of the figurative language used by teachers and headteachers in six English secondary schools when speaking about their new vocational curriculum and its students. Transcripts of interviews were scrutinized for metaphorical and other figurative modes of expression, and instances were identified of recurring patterns and themes. This paper argues that the metaphorical language employed within each of the schools reflects a lower level of esteem for the vocational qualification and the pupils taking it than that which is overtly expressed, and suggests that the negative metaphors employed by the headteacher may be instrumental in determining the status of such qualifications within the school

Variations on a theme: patterns of congruence and divergence among 18th century chemical affinity theories
No full textThe doctrine of affinity deserves to be recognised by historians of chemistry as
the foundational basis of the discipline of chemistry as it was practiced in
Britain during the 18th century. It attained this status through its crucial
structural role in the pedagogy of the discipline. The importance of pedagogy
and training in the practice of science is currently being reassessed by a number
of historians, and my research contributes to this historiographical endeavour.
My analysis of the variety of theories sheltered under the umbrella term ‘affinity
theory’ has emphasised the role of pedagogy in influencing both the structure
and the content of knowledge. I have shown that there were wide ranging
discrepancies between many of the components of individual affinity theories.
Nevertheless, the scope of divergence was limited. This underlying organisation
resulted from the unifying hub of affinity theory, the logical common ground.
This was the essence of the doctrine of affinity, encompassing the law of affinity
and the conceptualisation of the table that brought together the relations
described in the law. The doctrine of affinity thus provided a disciplinary
common ground between chemists, providing a mediating level of
understanding and communication for all those who subscribed to the doctrine
of affinity, in spite of their detailed differences
