Interview with David E. Storey on Naturalizing Heidegger: His confrontation with Nietzsche, his contributions to environmental philosophy, by David E. Storey
No full textIn Naturalizing Heidegger, David E. Storey proposes a new interpretation of Heidegger's importance for environmental philosophy, finding in the development of his thought from the early 1920s to his later work in the 1940s the groundwork for a naturalistic ontology of life. Primarily drawing on Heidegger's engagement with Nietzsche, but also on his readings of Aristotle and the biologist Jakob von Uexküll, Storey focuses on his critique of the nihilism at the heart of modernity, and his conception of the intentionality of organisms and their relation to their environments. From these ideas, a vision of nature emerges that recognizes the intrinsic value of all living things and their kinship with one another, and which anticipates later approaches in the philosophy of nature, such as Hans Jonas's phenomenology of life and Evan Thompson's contemporary attempt to naturalize phenomenology.Title supplied by cataloger

Post-war British working-class fiction with special reference to the novels of John Braine, Alan Sillitoe, Stan Barstow, David Storey and Barry Hines
No full textThis study is about British working-class fiction in the post-war period.
It covers various authors such as Robert Tressell, George Orwell, Walter Greenwood, Lewis Grassic Gibbon and DH Lawrence from the early twentieth century; writers traditionally classified as 'Angry Young Men' like John Osborne, Arnold Wesker, Shelagh Delaney, John Wain and
Kingsley Amis; and working-class novelists like John Braine, Stan Barstow, David Storey, Alan Sillitoe and Barry Hines from the 1950s and 1960s.
Some of the main issues dealt with in the course of this study are language, form, community, self/identity/autobiography, sexuality and relationship with bourgeois art. The major argument centres on two questions: representation of working-class life, and the
relationship between working-class literary tradition and dominant ideologies.
We will be arguing that while working-class fiction succeeded in challenging and rupturing bourgeois literary tradition, on the level of language and linguistic medium of expression for example, it utterly failed to break away from dominant, bourgeois modes of literary production in relation to form, for instance.
Our argument is situated within Marxist approaches to literature, a political and aesthetic position from which we attempt an analysis and an evaluation of this working-class literary tradition. These critical approaches provide us also with the theoretical tool to define the political perspective of this tradition, and to judge whether it was confined to a descriptive mode of representation or
located in a radical, political outlook

These sporting lives: David Storey, Barry Hines, and the case of the author-athlete
No full textThis article introduces the concept of the ‘author-athlete’ as a mechanism for examining the sporting narratives produced by authors who have experienced high level sport. This concept is examined through the careers of David Storey and Barry Hines, two authors from Yorkshire who were prominent in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s and who turned to writing after careers in Rugby League and football respectively. The article draws on archival material alongside analyses of both writers’ sporting narratives to identify common features and to reflect on the particular qualities of sporting narratives produced by ex-athletes. In the case of Hines and Storey, it is argued that the concept of the author-athlete enables an understanding to emerge of the ways in which essentialist narratives of Northern sporting heroism and masculinity can be challenged
Tenuous Territories
No full textPrevious chapters have explored facets of territory and territoriality primarilyat the level of the state, but it is important to observe that manifestations ofterritorialization exist at a variety of spatial scales. Although this may take onless obvious forms with less clear-cut boundaries, these informal divisionsrun through a wide range of social, cultural and political issues concerningrace, class, gender and sexuality, so that what can be termed spatial enclaves ofvarying degrees of permanence are regularly created, sustained and contested(Sidaway 2007). This chapter explores some of these examples, demonstratinghow particular social practices are spatialized and the ways in which territoriesare constructed, contested and used to achieve particular outcomes. Identitylies at the heart of these examples, which comprise territorial practices thatresult from defence, celebration or fear of those identities. Consequently,the chapter is concerned with raising questions about who may permitted orencouraged to be in particular spaces, and who may be barred or discouragedfrom being there. In doing so, it sheds light on the ways in which space is conceived, used and organized, and highlights the ways in which identities ‒ class,ethnic, gender, sexual ‒ become territorialized across a range of sociospatialcontexts. The chapter also highlights the use of territorial strategies in bothmanaging and policing specific issues, and also in resisting particular forms ofdomination
