Welfare policy under the Conservatives 1951-1964
No full textOn re-election to power in 1951, the Conservative Government under Churchill was expected to 'roll back the welfare state'. Until Thorneycroft's dramatic resignation in 1958 that remained a distinct possibility. Thereafter, however, in both Whitehall and Westminster there was a 'great reappraisal' of government policy.The Conservatives were torn between the conflicting objectives of creating an 'opportunity state' and the promotion of national efficiency. An opportunity state required more selective, generous, treatment of those in need together with reduced taxation and increased incentives to encourage personal initiative and responsibility. National efficiency required the increased provision, amongst other services, of education and housing to ensure a well-trained, mobile workforce.This conflict of objectives, represented by the One-Nation Group and the Institute of Economic Affairs, raised questions which remain of direct relevance to welfare policy today. How far should government responsibility for individual welfare be discharged through the regulation of the private market, the financing of services or their centralized provision? The answers reached in the 1960s contrast sharply with those of the 1980s and 1990s. Full employment was regarded as sacrosanct. Government promotion of national efficiency was deemed essential to halt Britain's relative decline. To achieve a human society, it was also agreed that'an increase in public expenditure - and therefore tax - is not necessarily a bad thing in so far as it provides better social benefits for the less fortunate members of the community and alleviates the grossest disparities of wealth.'This handbook summarizes the development of welfare policies in this period and provides a guide to records available, or about to become available, at the Public Record Office. It is likely to lead to a major reappraisal of pre-Thatcherite Conservatism
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
