Raymond Williams and the limits of cultural materialism
Full text linkCultural materialism has become an influential discipline in recent
years, particularly so in 'Renaissance' studies, but also more generally in
'English', as well as departments defined as practising 'cultural' or
'communications' studies. The phrase is usually linked with the name of
Raymond Williams, but a cursory examination of Williams's own work
quickly establishes that it is a phrase he rarely uses, and only schematically
attempts to define. The thesis therefore takes the form of an investigation into
the way cultural materialism has come to be understood, by examining in
detail the trajectory of Raymond Williams's theoretical development, and how
his own engagement with various theoretical positions has helped to set
'limits' on the meaning of cultural materialism.
Chapters 1 and 2 deal with some of Williams's earliest work,
particularly Reading and Criticism, as a way of investigating how reasonable
it is to tag him as a 'Left-Leavisite', arguing that Leavis's undoubted
influence is resisted (though not entirely rejected) from a very early stage. The
first chapter considers in detail Leavis's work at Cambridge, the influence of
Eliot, and the significance of the 'Organic Community'. Chapter 2, which is
based around a comparative analysis of Williams's and Leavis's readings of
Dickens, argues that Williams rejects the 'organic community' in favour of his
'knowable community'. Chapters 4 and 5 deal with specific 'theoretical'
issues: the first, based around a reading of Terry Eagleton's critique of
Williams's use of the Marxist metaphor of 'base and superstructure', shows
some of the problems which arise from Williams's cultural model, as well as
suggesting refinements; the second deals with the influence of Volosinov's
theories on Williams. Chapter 6 comes out of Williams's readings of the
'Country-House' poems in The Country and the City, showing how his
practice of literary criticism relies on an acceptance of 'ideology' apparently
denied in his more 'theoretical' writings. This analysis is extended as a result
of investigations into the 'De L'Isle' manuscripts relating to the Penshurst
estate. Chapter 7 argues that it is possible to see the work of Fredric Jameson
as developing Williams's cultural materialism into Jameson's debates on
postmodernism.
In the Introduction and Conclusion, I have taken the opportunity to
look briefly at the activity of cultural materialism as it has developed since
Raymond Williams's death in 1988. The Introduction emphasizes what I see
to be important methodological differences between 'cultural materialism'
and 'new historicism'; the Conclusion deals with the continuing debate over
the value of a cultural materialist approach by considering the 'appropriation'
of Shakespeare
Raymond Aron et l'horreur des chiffres
No full textAlain Guerreau. Raymond Aron and the Fear of Figures.
Despite several recent publications, studies on the foundations of historical research in France are still dominated by the works of Raymond Aron. The author examines Raymond Aron's thinking on the role of statistics in historical research, the underlying premises involved in Aron's analysis, its strengths and weaknesses..Alain Guerreau. Raymond Aron et l'horreur des chiffres.
La réflexion sur les fondements de l'activité historienne reste dominée en France, malgré quelques ouvrages récents, par les travaux de Raymond Aron. On analyse la manière dont R. Aron a compris et évalué
l'aspect statistique des recherches historiques, et l'on montre les présupposés qui ont conditionné cette réflexion aronienne et en marquent la faiblesse.Guerreau Alain. Raymond Aron et l'horreur des chiffres. In: Histoire & Mesure, 1986 volume 1 - n°1. Varia. pp. 51-73
Memo from [Willard E.] Schmidt, Chief of Administrative Police, to [Raymond R.] Best, [1944]
No full textRegards arming the Administrative Police Section, including reasons for using the sawed-off shotgun vs. the 45 automatic pistol for security purposes, and the potential for escalation of tensions in a "divided camp (anti and pro, status quo)." See also the related typewritten memo, Memorandum from Willard [E.] Schmidt, Chief, Administrative Police, to R. R. [Raymond R.] Best, Project Director, February 28, 1944.The Willard Schmidt collection, documents some of the administrative duties of Willard Schmidt, the Chief of Internal Security for the War Relocation Authority and the Tule Lake incarceration/segregation camp. This collection contains administrative records and photos documenting the Tule Lake camp, the largest incarceration camp with a peak population of 18,789 and with the most turbulent history. In 1943, the camp was turned into a segregation center to house "disloyal" Japanese Americans relocated from other camps based on their answers to a confusing loyalty questionnaire. The camp endured martial law from November 1943- Jan 1944 after escalating protests and unrest. The hostile environment of the camp lead to many incarcerees renouncing their American citizenship upon the end of incarceration, a process which took 14 years to reverse if they did not wish to be deported to Japan
Association analysis of candidate genes for autism and a related phenotype, non-verbal motor speech disorder
No full textUsing a bead-based oligonucleotide ligation SNP genotyping assay, 102 Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) were analyzed in a subset of Autism Genetic Resource Exchange (AGRE) families, looking at autism and a related phenotype, Non-Verbal Motor Speech Disorder (NVMSD). The NVMSD phenotype was defined using three variables from the Autism Diagnostic Interview – Revised (ADI-R), and subjects were chosen regardless of a diagnosis of autism. Genome-wide statistical analysis based on Affymetrix 5.0 SNP data revealed two large linkage regions on chromosomes 1 and 17 in the AGRE data set. Genes of interest were then identified using a software package (Ingenuity Pathway Analysis - IPA) that provides information on gene function and associated diseases. 102 SNPs in four of the genes of interest were genotyped in the AGRE families and statistically analyzed using the KELVIN software package.M.S.Includes bibliographical referencesby Raymond A.

Raymond Aron : l’itinéraire d’un sociologue libéral
No full textDans cet article, l'auteur tente de retracer dans un premier temps, les fondements philosophiques de la sociologie de R. Aron, avant d'examiner dans un deuxième temps, sa sociologie proprement dite. Abordant par la suite la critique des idéologies qui est indissociable à la fois de sa philosophie et de sa sociologie, il conclut par un rappel de la contribution et de la place que R. Aron occupe au sein de la sociologie contemporaine. Critique plus que théoricien, Aron apparaît, aux termes de cet article, comme la conscience libérale de la sociologie française.In this paper, the author first traces the philosophical foundations of Raymond Aron's sociology, and then examines his sociology itself. A discussion follows on the critical analysis of ideologies which is inseparable both from Aron's philosophy and his sociology. The paper concludes with a reminder of Aron's contribution to contemporary sociology and his place within it. More of a critic than a theoretician, Aron appears, according to this paper, as the liberal conscience of French sociology.En este artículo, el autor trata, en primer lugar de exponer los fundamentos filosóficos de la sociología de R. Aron, para en segundo lugar, examinar su sociología propiamente dicha. Finalmente analiza la crítica de las ideologías que son indisociables a la vez de su filosofía como de su sociología. Concluye recordando la contribución y el lugar que ocupa R. Aron en el seno de la sociología contemporánea. Mas crítico que teo'rico, R. Aron aparece, según este artículo, como la conciencia liberal de la sociología francesa
