"Them over there" : Meadows, Motherhood and Marginality in Shane Meadows' Films
No full textDespite Shane Meadows’ apparent awareness of the ways in which white, working-class women were subjugated within a male dominated environment of Northern England in the Thatcher era there appears to be little evidence in his films to date of an explicit critique of those power dynamics and their impact on women’s lived experience since his debut Small Time. The absence of a detailed and deliberate consideration of female experience sits in sharp contrast to the dominant thematic concern of his films: what it means to be a man. Indeed there exists a marked dichotomy in Meadows’ treatment of gender that elaborates on questions of British working class masculinity at great length and in great depth while simultaneously containing and limiting female narrative agency and truncating the representational spectrum of British working class femininity. The limited representation of British working class femininity in Meadows’ work is noteworthy especially because the discourses about unemployment and financial disempowerment that are rigorously articulated in his films invoke an emasculatory female figure. The devastating effects of Tory economic policy were not wholly levelled at the Conservative party per se but very specifically at Margaret Thatcher herself; the common reference to ‘That bloody woman’ functions, for Meadows to authenticate and legitimate both his own experiences and the narratives that he constructs for his characters. Just as this discursive strategy prioritises the damaging effects of a woman on male-centric communities Meadows also invokes femininity as problematic. This chapter serves as a response to the overall lack of attention paid to the ways in which women’s lived experiences are presented within Meadows’ work, a lack of attention that is mirrored in the academic focus on this British filmmaker

Small Islands versus Big Cities: Lessons in the Political Economy of Regional Development from the World’s Small Islands
No full textPopulation, employment and economic capacity continue to concentrate in and around large urban centres. If geography (measured as proximity to large centres of population) increasingly matters in the knowledge economy, then there may be no future for periphery locations. This paper critically reviews and refutes this hypothesis by looking at the world’s small islands. Handicapped by size and distance, they are unable to generate scale dynamics nor to regularly access any neighbouring, large metropolitan centres. Nevertheless, jurisdictional resourcefulness resulting from sovereignty or sub-national autonomy fosters compensatory policy capacity. Demand for niche-technology manufactures and craft-based, labour-intensive or place-specific services is likely to persist. Cyclical migration strategies allow islanders seeking work or education off island to tap the metropole and re-inject resources to reinvigorate the periphery. Remittances, aid, bureaucracy and other “rents” can provide significant fiscal resources necessary for survival.
