‘The Churchillian Paradigm and the “Other British Isles”: An Examination of Second World War Remembrance in Man, Orkney, and Jersey’
No full textThis dissertation studies Second World War ‘sites of memory’ in the islands of Jersey, Orkney and the Isle of Man, to determine if each island celebrates the war’s events as Britain does, or if they have charted their own mnemonic course. It builds on the work of Angus Calder, Malcolm Smith, and Mark Connelly, who have explored how popular conception of the Second World War in Britain has been structured around a certain set of commemorative motifs, most of which centre on Winston Churchill and the events of 1940. The British war narrative is now commonly referred to as the ‘Churchillian paradigm’ or ‘finest-hour myth’, and continues to be the driving force in commemoration and memorialization on the British mainland. The three islands in this study are culturally and historically distinct from Britain, and each has strong notions of its own ‘island identity’. Each also possesses a tangential and divisive domestic experience of war, one which is often minimized in the iconography of the Churchillian paradigm. Jersey was occupied by Nazi Germany from 1940 to 1945, Orkney was home to several thousand Italian POWs who built important infrastructure in the island, and the Isle of Man was home to 14,000 German, Finnish, Japanese, and Italian internees in what one critic has called ‘a bespattered page’ in the nation’s history. By examining ‘sites of memory’— museums, heritage sites, commemorations, celebrations, philately, and use of public space—this dissertation shows that each island simultaneously accepts and rejects elements of the finest-hour myth in their collective memory. Each island displays its unique (though often quite negative) heritage in order to differentiate itself from Britain, while at the same time allowing them, at certain events, to participate in celebration of Britain’s ‘greatest victory’. In this way, islands’ use ‘Britishness’ pragmatically, by basking in traditionally ‘British’ commemorative tropes, while at the same time deepening their own cultural and historical sovereignty
«FROL SILIN, BENEFICENT MAN» BY N.M. KARAMZIN: THE PROBLEM OF GENRE IDENTITY
No full textThis paper is an attempt to understand the problem of genre identity of one of the earliest works of N. M. Karamzin — «Frol Silin, Beneficent Man». Relying on researchers’ opinions, the author concludes the discussion of this issue, and seeks to define the genre of «Frol Silin». The focus is the eulogy as one of the genres of oratorical prose. To identify its features is one of the goals of the article. As the main aspects of studying eulogy the peculiarities of its poetics were selected. In «Frol Silin» a simple man is praised and his actions are portrayed. It is an object of chanting that differ the Karamzin’s work from the traditional classic panegyric. As the author of the article suggests, the choice of a character is caused by the tradition of sentimentalism. It is obvious that the shape of panegyric was convenient for the approval of a new ideal of the natural man. In his analysis the author argues that «Frol Silin, Beneficent Man» is a sentimental eulogy

No full textCompeting models of socially constructed economic man : differentiating Defoe's Crusoe from the Robinson of neoclassical economics
No full textDaniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe has seldom been read as an explicitly political text. When it has, it appears that the central character was designed to warn the early eighteenth-century reader against political challenges to the existing economic order. Insofar as Defoe’s Crusoe stands for "economic man", he is a reflection of historically-produced assumptions about the need for social conformity, not the embodiment of any genuinely essential economic characteristics. This insight is used to compare Defoe’s conception of economic man with that of the neoclassical Robinson Crusoe economy. On the most important of the ostensibly generic principles espoused by neoclassical theorists, their "Robinson" has no parallels with Defoe’s Crusoe. Despite the shared name, two quite distinct social constructions serve two equally distinct pedagogical purposes. Defoe’s Crusoe extols the virtues of passive middle-class sobriety for effective social organisation; the neoclassical Robinson champions the establishment of markets for the sake of productive efficiency
John Toland and the Druids on the Isle of Man
No full textFunding: The author received a Marshall Cubbon bursary from IoMNHAS in support of his research.This article examines the historical study of the Druids on the Isle of Man. It explores a variety of writers’ characterisations of the Druids and Man’s place in the ‘Celtic’ world from the sixteenth century to today, with an especial focus on John Toland. Although ideas about the Druids grew more from guesswork than clear evidence, they were crucial in defining Manx identity and history, with enduring effects into the present.Peer reviewe
