A política da teoria: tradução do artigo de Edward Palmer Thompson
Full text linkO presente texto foi redigido por Edward Palmer Thompson no ano de 1979 e trata-se de uma versão corrigida e aumentada de uma intervenção feita na revista History Workshop Journals. Thompson escreve este trabalho em resposta à dois artigos escritos por Stuart Hall (En defensa de la teoría) e por Richard Johnson (Contra el absolutismo) publicados anteriormente na mesma revista. Tais autores analisaram e criticaram algumas concepções de Thompson presentes no seu livro A Miséria da Teoria, de 1978. O debate completo, contendo uma apresentação de Raphael Samuel, os textos de Stuart Hall e Richard Johnson, bem como a resposta de Thompson traduzida aqui, foi publicada no livro História popular y teoria socialista, organizado por Raphael Samuel no ano de 1984. Edward Palmer Thompson foi um proeminente historiador que compôs uma tradição de intelectuais marxistas ingleses, entre suas obras mais conhecidas podemos citar: A Formação da Classe Operária Inglesa (1963); Senhores e caçadores (1977); Costumes em Comum (1980) e, a já citada, A Miséria da Teoria
¿Influyó el marxismo entre los miembros de la primera generación de la Escuela de Birmingham: Raymond Williams, Edward P. Thompson y Richard Hoggart?
No full textEn este trabajo se pretende, por un lado, presentar los Estudios Culturales, así como la Escuela de Birmingham y el Contemporary Centre for Cultural Studies. Fueron los miembros de la primera generación de la Escuela de Birmingham a través del CCCS los que propiciaron el inicio de la constitución del hecho cultural como disciplina académica a través de los Estudios Culturales. Se pretende demostrar como algunos autores del marxismo revisionista del siglo XX, en especial Antonio Gramsci, influyeron decisivamente en el pensamiento y el concepto de cultura de los tres miembros fundadores del CCCS: Raymond Williams, Edward P. Thompson y Richard Hoggart. Para ello, analizamos las obras capitales de estos tres intelectuales, que se publicaron en fechas muy cercanas al inicio de la andadura del CCCS en el seno de Universidad de Birmingham. Estas obras son: "La formación de la clase obrera en Inglaterra" de Edward P. Thompson, "La cultura obrera en la sociedad de masas" de Richard Hoggart y "Cultura y Materialismo" de Raymond Williams, obra ésta última escrita hacia los años ochenta del siglo XX, en la que se expone la concepción de la cultura por parte de Williams donde se observa el claro influjo sobre todo de Gramsci en su pensamiento a través de su explicación del hecho cultural por medio de la forma en la que él mismo entendió el marxismo.En aquest treball es pretén, d'una banda, presentar els Estudis Culturals, així com l'Escola de Birmingham i el Contemporary Centri for Cultural Studies. Van ser els membres de la primera generació de l'Escola de Birmingham a través del CCCS els que van propiciar l'inici de la constitució del fet cultural com a disciplina acadèmica a través dels Estudis Culturals. Es pretén demostrar com alguns autors del marxisme revisionista del segle XX, especialment Antonio Gramsci, van influir decisivament en el pensament i el concepte de cultura dels tres membres fundadors del CCCS: Raymond Williams, Edward P.

Per a això, analitzem les obres cabdals d'aquests tres intel·lectuals, que es van publicar en dates molt pròximes a l'inici de la marxa del CCCS en el si d'Universitat de Birmingham. Aquestes obres són: "La formació de la classe obrera a Anglaterra" d'Edward P. Thompson, "La cultura obrera en la societat de masses" de Richard Hoggart i "Cultura i Materialisme" de Raymond Williams, obra aquesta última escrita cap als anys vuitanta del segle XX, en la qual s'exposa la concepció de la cultura per part de Williams on s'observa el clar influx sobretot de Gramsci en el seu pensament a través de la seva explicació del fet cultural per mitjà de la forma en la qual ell mateix va entendre el marxisme.The aim of this paper is, on the one hand, to present Cultural Studies, as well as the Birmingham School and the Contemporary Centre for Cultural Studies. It was the members of the first generation of the Birmingham School through the CCCS who initiated the constitution of the cultural fact as an academic discipline through Cultural Studies. The aim is to show how some authors of 20th century revisionist Marxism, especially Antonio Gramsci, had a decisive influence on the thinking and the concept of culture of the three founding members of the CCCS: Raymond Williams, Edward P. Thompson and Richard Hoggart. To do so, we analyse the major works of these three intellectuals, which were published very close to the beginning of the CCCS at the University of Birmingham. These works are: "The Formation of the Working Class in England" by Edward P. Thompson, "Working Class Culture in Mass Society" by Richard Hoggart and "Culture and Materialism" by Raymond Williams, the latter written around the eighties of the 20th century, in which Williams' conception of culture is exposed and where we can observe the clear influence of Gramsci in his thought through his explanation of the cultural fact by means of the way in which he himself understood Marxism

Edward D. 'Sandy' Ives (interview)
No full textThis interview is included in the Indiana University Folklore Institute, 1987 Collection at the Indiana University Center for the Study of History and Memory. In this interview, Edward D. 'Sandy' Ives, born on September 4, 1925, discusses singing folksongs as a supplemental income to teaching, which led him to write a book. A colleague influenced him to bring his writings to the American Folklore Society (AFS), where he met Richard Dorson who then brought him to Indiana University. Ives recalls the courses he took, his professors , and his classmates and social life. He talks about fields that are related to folklore including anthropology and literature, as well as those that pushed the boundaries of folklore. He speaks about Dorson's personality and their relationship. He also discusses what Dorson and Stith Thompson brought to the Indiana University folklore program. This collection is part of the Indiana University Folklore Institute, 1987 Collection which is available at the Indiana University Center for the Study of History and Memory. It consists of: 28 pages, 1 tape (1 7/8 ips, 56 minutes) and index. This collection is closed until 2015 except to authorized project personnel. The IU Folklore Institute, 1987 Collection deals with the beginning, the building, and the growth of the Indiana University (IU) Folklore Institute into an internationally recognized program. The interviewees are mostly students and/or faculty of the folklore program from the 1940s to the 1980s. They discuss those who most influenced and impacted the institute, namely Stith Thompson and Richard M. Dorson. They share their memories and experiences of the time they spent, or continue to spend, in the IU Folklore Institute
The queer histories of Edward II and Richard II of England
No full textBeginning during their reigns, kings Edward II and Richard II of England developed “queer” reputations that have been perpetuated and renegotiated through the present day. Scholars continue to debate how best to understand these elements of Edward and Richard’s legacies, sometimes focusing on possibilities of gender transgression and intimacy between men, and sometimes dismissing such lines of inquiry as stemming from the unfounded allegations of politically-motivated chroniclers. This debate overlaps with a broader conversation about how scholars should reckon with the empiricist, historicist approach that has heretofore been dominant in work dealing with issues of gender and sexuality in history. Drawing on Jonathan Goldberg and Madhavi Menon’s notion of queer unhistoricism, as well as Carla Freccero’s work on queer spectrality, this thesis uses an expansive definition of queerness to move past “were-they-or-weren’t-they” disputes about Edward and Richard, and engage more fruitfully with the presence of queerness in both medieval and modern texts about these kings. Two late medieval poems written in praise of the currently-reigning king, Adam Davy’s Five Dreams about Edward II (c. 1308) and Richard Maidstone’s Concordia facta inter regem et cives Londonie (c. 1392), are similar in their creation of a textual intimacy between the king and the author—a socially-imbalanced intimacy that mirrors the highly-criticized relationships between the kings and their male favorites. I examine these poems in relation to fourteenth- and fifteenth-century chronicles that disparage Edward, Richard, and their relationships with their favorites, linking bad kingship with the feminization of men and excessive intimacy between men. Expanding on Claire Sponsler’s reading of Froissart’s chronicles, I look at a modern British docudrama’s depiction of Edward II and Hugh Despenser’s deaths, suggesting that the series follows Froissart in presenting the queer man as a figure to be denounced in order to suppress the possibility of improper intimacy between men. Finally, I take Richard’s attempt to canonize his great-grandfather Edward as an opportunity to look at how Edward II and Richard II’s legacies as queer kings intersect and reflect each other.Arts, Faculty ofEnglish, Department ofGraduat
Marlowe's Edward II: from page to screen
Full text linkDissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina. Centro de Comunicação e Expressão. Programa de Pós-graduação em Letras/Inglês e literatura CorrespondenteMinorites have, during the last decades, manifested their dissatisfaction towards unequal civil rights all over the world. Homosexuals inparticular, both gay and lesbian, constitute groups that have fewer privileges than the heterosexual majority in society. Thus, homosexuals have pursued their civil rights and struggled, above all, for freedom of expression. Some out homosexuals participate in political activism as they pursue legal rights, and such is the case of Derek Jarman (1942-1994), an artist who used film as a medium to ideologically reflect upon the condition of gay males. Jarman appropriated Christopher Marlowe´s play Edward II and produced the screenplay Queer Edward II. The main point of this thesis is that Jarman´s choices imply a different cinematic perspective, namely, that of gays in contemporary society. Thus, what I have defined as queer aesthetics emerges if the visual effects of the film are considered. Nevertheless, Jarman´s Edward II does not actually offer a new form of social system, where gays might achieve power by being accepeted competitively in society. Jarman´s version ultimately restates the same prejudiced behaviour we find in Marlowe´s play, as he replaces the homophobic order by a heterophobic one. Moreover, Jarman ignores thart the formation of desire is a result of the social, historical, political and cultural variables. He appears to be ´trapped´ in the conventional dichotomic view of the genders which establishes difference so as to create social strratification where heterosexual white men are superior and women and gays are inferior. So, although Jarman´s Edward II shows the homosexuals´ strife for equal civil rights, it re-esrtablishes the prevailing socio-political system which in Jarman´s view should oppress heterosexuals
The Comparison between Henry V and Edward III : On the Authorship of Edward III
No full textMany critics have pointed out that there are many similarities between Henry V and Edward III. Richard Proudfoot, for example, argues that “The degree of similarity has been fully demonstrated, most impressively by Kenneth Muir.” This paper shows that, although there are many areas of correspondence, we can notice their differences in design, content and expression, and it is actually these differences that prove that Shakespeare might be the author of Edward III. Whilst other critics insist that Shakespeare is the author of this play due to the correspondence between it and other historical plays by Shakespeare, this paper argues that it is actually the differentiation between the plays that indicate Shakespeare was the author. Of course, although we cannot say definitely that Shakespeare wrote the play, there is a strong possibility that he is the author. This paper also gives six other points that indicate to Shakespeare being the author of Edward III in its conclusion

'Out in the Dark': An Exploration of and Creative Response to the Process of Poetic Composition with Reference to Edward Thomas and a Self-reflexive Study
No full textResearch through practice into the actual process of composing, such as William James
on automatic writing and thought processes, or Sigmund Freud on creative writing and
the unconscious, is rare, and needs extension and updating. This study builds a new
theoretical framework for critical and practical work on imaginative composition by
investigation of Edward Thomas's composing processes and complementary analysis of
the processes of writing my own poetry collection. Thomas's emphasis on
fragmentation of thought, hesitancy and silence in the content and form of his poetry,
positioning him on the borders of Modernism, reflects essential aspects of his
composing processes, as documented in his notes, letters, prose and poetry. The
creating and revisiting of my own works-in-progress and final collection, in the light of
the study of Thomas and in dialogue with readers, reveals further insights into poetic
composition.
Chapter One examines the point at which poems emerge and the influence of
external writing conditions. Chapters Two and Three look at absence in the composing
process in ellipses, aporia, gaps and unfinishedness, and in the art of submission as it is
used in composing. Chapter Four investigates distraction, non-logical connections and
physical and temporal disturbances in composing. Chapter Five shows the importance
when composing of sustaining a flexible and exact attention to immediate perceptions
and thoughts. The thesis concludes with an original poetry collection resulting from the
documentation of my composing processes during the research period. These poems
reflect and refract many points made in previous chapters, offering practical evidence
of them.
The principles of poetic composition established in this thesis are also more
generally applicable to the composing of poetry. Similarities observed in composition
processes in other art forms and in the writing of this thesis indicate that these
principles also apply to other creative and academic disciplines, providing areas for
further research
