Art, Biography, Sexuality: Patrick Procktor and Keith Vaughan
No full textThis critical review forms a reflection on the research published within the following publications:
Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (Unicorn Press, 2010)
Keith Vaughan: The Mature Oils 1946-1977, (Sansom & Co., 2012)
The research is on two artists, Patrick Procktor (1936-2003), and Keith Vaughan (1912-1977). The monograph on Procktor – previously one of the least documented of the generation of artists who came to prominence in London in the Sixties – positions him in a history of art from which he had been notably absent. The research on Vaughan asserts a new reading of his work, one that is both deeper and more nuanced in its analysis of the ways in which personal experience and sexuality are encoded autobiographically within his work. Crucially, in both artists biography and work are symbiotically linked; the research therefore examines the links between life and art.
Revisionary in intent, the work examines trajectories of experience of gay British (or rather, English) artists in the twentieth century, artists who sought to express themselves and forge careers within the constraints of a heteronormative society, albeit one in which attitudes to sexuality were undergoing change. As gay men, both were constrained by the social mores of their times, and each used painting as a means to affirm personal and sexual identities. A key research interest is in the ways in which sexuality and persona are reflected in critical responses to the artist’s work: in Vaughan, Procktor and other gay male artists of the period. The writing on both Procktor and Vaughan examines the relationship between their personal and professional/artistic lives, framed within a broader socio-political and art historical context. It asserts the place of biography as a means to understand and form new readings of the work. The work adds substantially to the literature and wider discourse on post-war British painting and social history
Secular millenarianism as a radical utopian project in Shaftesbury
No full textPatrick Müller asks whether a new interpretation of third Earl the Earl of Shaftesbury as a radical political theorist is justifiable and whether the term “radical” can be applied to a man who has traditionally been regarded as an aesthete and a moralist rather than a political writer. To answer this question he proposes a chronological survey of Shaftesbury’s development as an actor on the political scene. He first reviews Shaftesbury’s early political career and shows the influence of his grandfather, who helped to forge a new, distinctively Whig ideology, on Shaftesbury’s political socialisation. Patrick Müller then discusses Shaftesbury’s early years in Parliament, when he was committed to the tenets of Old Whiggism and conversed with a number of radical figures, especially Toland. Finally, Müller studies Shaftesbury’s Characteristicks as a utopian text which makes a case for dispensing with the political influence of the Church and even all established forms of religion.</p
Zippelia RASNITSYN & MÜLLER 2023, gen. nov.
No full textGenus Zippelia gen. nov. Type species. Zippelia engeli gen. et sp. nov. Species included. Type species only. Etymology. Genus name is derived from the name of the first author of the original larval description. Diagnosis. Larva (probably an early one because of small size). Body segments soft, smooth, naked, with only head capsule and ninth and particularly tenth abdominal terga sclerotised. Head position oblique (semiprognathous). Stemma small, touching antennal foramen dorsally. Antenna setiform, 7-segmented, touching mandibular base or nearly so. Mandibles with at least three teeth. Maxillary and labial palps 4- and 3-segmented, respectively, with large palpigers. 9 spiracles visible (on pronotum and abdominal segments 1–8). Legs setiform, 6-segmented, with terminal segment (pretarsus) long but apparently soft, not claw-like.Abdominal terga with three (basal ones) through no (8 th to 10 th) transverse folds. Separated lateral lobes bearing spiracles and so nonhomologous to those in other symphytan larvae; delimited area below them apparently participating in incipient prolegs distinct at least in segments 5–8 (basal segments are not visible from below). Sternal area (between incipient prolegs) variable in having two, one or no transverse folds. Tergum 9 distinctly sclerotised, convex, tergum 10 strongly sclerotised, concave, pentagonal, with two lateral prongs and long posteromedial tooth, recalling incipient concavity of terga 9–10 in larval Blasticotomidae. Sternum 10 with elongate subanal lobe bearing lateroapically two-segmented appendages long enough to be visible dorsally.Published as part of RASNITSYN, ALEXANDR P. & MÜLLER, PATRICK, 2023, Identity of the insect larva described by Zippel et al. (2022) in the mid-Cretaceous Burmese (Kachin) amber (Hymenoptera, Tenthredinoidea, Blasticotomidae = Xyelotomidae syn. nov.), pp. 13-16 in Palaeoentomology 6 (1) on page 14, DOI: 10.11646/palaeoentomology.6.1.4, http://zenodo.org/record/775490
Palleptoceridae WICHARD & MÜLLER 2022, fam. nov.
No full textPalleptoceridae fam. nov. Type genus. Palleptocerus gen. nov. Diagnosis. Ocelli absent. Antennae longer than forewings, scapus conically thickened. Maxillary palps five-segmented, lengths of palp segments in a row: short (1), long (2), long (3) short (4) and longest (5); terminal segment not annulated (Figs 2A, 3B inset). Wings: Forewings slightly narrow and apically rounded, hind wings shorter and broader. Sexual dimorphism in terms of wing length and wing venation: Forewing lengths in males a little shorter than in females. The light brown wings of the males are darker in the females. In males forewing venation with forks I and V present (Fig. 2B); in females forks I, III, and V present (Fig. 2C). In both sexes, discoidal cells open and thyridial cells closed, long. The hind wing venation reduced in both sexes; forks I, II, III, and IV absent, exclusively fork V present; discoidal cells open; crossveins not present (Fig. 2D). Tibial spurs: 2/4/4, metatibia, each with a pair of apical and preapical spurs (Fig. 1B) Palleptoceridae fam. nov. is characterized by the apomorphic combination of the following characters: Tibial spur formula 2/4/4. Forewing fork I present without discoidal cell and in hind wing exclusively fork V present.Published as part of WICHARD, WILFRIED & MÜLLER, PATRICK, 2022, Palleptoceridae fam. nov., an extinct leptoceroid family in mid-Cretaceous Burmese amber (Insecta, Trichoptera), pp. 468-474 in Palaeoentomology 5 (5) on page 469, DOI: 10.11646/palaeoentomology.5.5.8, http://zenodo.org/record/733375
Patrick Chamoiseau Recovering Memory
No full textThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau. Considered by many as one of the most innovative writers to hit the French literary scene in over 40 years, Chamoiseau made his name with his book Texaco (published in 1992 and winner of the highest literary prize in France, the Prix Goncourt). His books have gone on to sell millions and his work has been translated by a number of academic presses. McCusker sets the author in context, providing a valuable contribution to 'memory studies' by looking at literary representation of memory in Martinique, a society founded on slavery but now politically assimilated to the metropolitan centre, France.Title Page -- Contents -- Introduction -- 1: Beginnings: The Enigma of Origin -- 2: 'Une tracée de survie': Autobiographical Memory -- 3: Memory Re-collected: Witnesses and Words -- 4: Memory Materialized: Traces of the Past -- 5: Flesh Made Word: Traumatic Memory in Biblique des derniers gestes -- Afterword -- Notes -- Bibliography -- IndexThis timely new book skillfully examines the work of the award-winning writer Patrick Chamoiseau.
