British Cultural Studies, Active Audiences and the Status of Cultural Theory : An Interview With David Morley
No full text British cultural studies, represented perhaps chiefly by the so-called Birmingham School, is much marked by its strong orientation towards the application of grounded theory in the analysis of concrete cases, rather than the development of abstract Theory with a Capital T (in Stuart Hall’s words). As a leading figure of the Birmingham School and a key representative of the active audience model in television studies, or broadly, media studies, David Morley stands at a point where this trend was set, as is evidenced in this interview. Questioned by Huimin Jin, Morley puts his audience studies into the contexts of British cultural studies, postmodernism, Marxism, social movements, and so on; and in doing so, he shows the ambiguity, and subtlety of his concepts of how to best theorize the active audience. Only by this method, Jin believes, could Morley launch his version of audience studies, which aims not to invent a general theory of media effects, but to use an interdisciplinary range of theories to explore how people actually respond to a TV programme; and only by this approach to audience studies, furthermore, could Morley develop a theory of the audience’s activity, which is embedded in the course of their everyday life and that cannot be thoroughly colonized by discourses. Cultural studies, wherever it is conducted, therefore, Morley suggests, has to construct modes of analysis that are relevant to its own conditions of production in a particular place, at a particular time. This is the tradition, as we know it, but also the future, as Morley envisages, of cultural studies. </jats:p

Stuart Hall: Conversations, Projects and Legacies
No full textEdited by Julian Henriques and David Morley with Vana Goblot
Stuart Hall: Conversations, Projects and Legacies examines the career of the cultural studies pioneer, interrogating his influence and revealing lesser-known facets of his work. This collection of essays and photographs evaluates the legacies of his particular brand of cultural studies and demonstrates how other scholars and activists have utilised his thinking in their own research.
Throughout these pages, Hall's colleagues and long-term collaborators assess his theoretical and methodological standpoints, his commitment to the development of a flexible form of revisionist Marxism, and the contributions of his specific mode of analysis to public debates on Thatcherism, neoliberalism and multiculturalism. North American activist Angela Davis argues that the model of politics, ideology, and race initially developed by Hall and his colleagues in Birmingham continues to resonate when applied to America’s racialized policing. Further essays focus on Hall’s contributions to contemporary political debate as well as questions of race, ethnicity, identity, migrancy and diaspora. Others discuss Hall’s continuing involvement in issues of representation and aesthetics in the visual arts, particularly photography and film.
With contributions from Britain, Europe, East Asia, and North and Latin America, Stuart Hall: Conversations, Projects and Legacies provides a comprehensive look at how, under Hall’s intellectual leadership, British cultural studies transformed itself from a form of ‘local’ knowledge to the international field of study we know today.

Loxotropa morleii Morley 1931
No full textLoxotropa morleii Morley, 1931: 15. Valid name Trichopria halterata (Kieffer, 1909). Summary of types Holotype ♀, BMNH number 9.784, by original designation. Primary type data 3 ix 97; Loxotropa / Morleyi/ MS. Chitty; det. A.J.C.; probably Paramesius / ♀ undescribed TAM; Type / CM. Type locality England, Suffolk, Sproughton Marshes. Remarks The name Loxotropa morleii was introduced as a nomen nudum by Morley (1929) and then made available in 1931. Morley credited the name to Chitty, and had a manuscript description from him placing this species in Trichopria; however, by placing it in Loxotropa Förster, 1856 and comparing it to other species of Loxotropa, it appears that Morley has significantly changed Chitty’s manuscript and was largely responsible for the text, and so is credited here as the author. The specimen is mounted on a card and is very dirty.Published as part of Notton, David G., 2014, A catalogue of the types of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera, Diapriidae) at the Natural History Museum, London, pp. 1-123 in European Journal of Taxonomy 75 on pages 83-84, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2014.75, http://zenodo.org/record/386277
Conclusion: Real World Learning— Researching and Co-constructing Working Definitions for Curriculum Development and Pedagogy
No full textMorley presents a research paper on a qualitative study of 15 groups of authors who were submitting chapters to an edited open-access collection, “Applied pedagogy for higher education. Real world learning and innovation across the curriculum”. Through the method of concept mapping, authors discuss their views and experience of “real world learning”. The concept of real world learning is an emerging area in higher education where students are focusing not only on their present learning but on how they can develop attributes and identities that equip them to progress following graduation. A thematic analysis of the author focus groups identifies three themes of fidelity, individuality and mutuality. A discussion of the themes applies the authors’ experience of real world curriculum planning and pedagogy in higher education
