The Portable Rousseau
No full textThe Portable Rousseau was commissioned from Paul de Man by Viking Press in 1972. In line with Viking’s longstanding series, the volume was intended as a pedagogical guide collating significant texts by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The collection was to contain original English-language translations of texts by Paul and Patricia de Man as well as reproductions of certain standard translations of Rousseau. The work presented here includes Paul de Man’s editorial corrigenda, drafts of planned introductions to the volume, and original translations by Paul and Patricia de Man. Translations and editorial texts were done in 1972-1983; revisions and transcriptions were done in 1983-2006.
The editorial material includes an agreed ‘Table of Contents’ and ‘Principle of Selection’ that Paul de Man worked to as the volume he imagined to best represent the work of Jean-Jacques Rousseau. As it became clear that this ‘Table of Contents’ would prove to be both over-length for the commissioned series and too expensive to realize through reproduction rights, a later table of contents ‘Optimal Table of Contents’ was produced for the publisher. This is accompanied by a text on the ‘Status of Translations’ that outlines available possible translations of standard texts by Rousseau and their relation to copyright.
Two introductory texts are available. The first, transcribed by Ellen Burt, is a draft of de Man’s proposed introduction to the volume. The second, a twelve page text entitled ‘Rousseau’, comes from the unpublished manuscript Textual Allegories (1972-3) which was retained by Patricia de Man to use as a possible introduction to The Portable Rousseau as she sought to complete the original Viking commission after the death of her husband in 1983.
The translations by Paul and Patricia de Man then follow according to the proposed order of the original ‘Table of Contents’. However, some deviations should be noted. The translations from the Nouvelle Héloise by Patricia de Man are taken from a continuously numbered manuscript prepared for final copy. It includes a small number of letters not listed in the ‘Table of Contents’. An extant translation by Patricia de Man of Part I, Letter V of the Nouvelle Héloise is also included as an appendix to the on-line publication although it is not part of the continuous manuscript of translations from this Rousseau text.Part of the text presented here was part of the original deposit of the Paul de Man papers in the UC Irvine Libraries. Other parts were retained by Patricia de Man in order to complete the Viking commission posthumously. A transcription of the proposed introduction was undertaken by Professor Ellen Burt. After the death of Patricia de Man, further editing of these papers was undertaken by Professor Cynthia Chase on the request of Patsy de Man (daughter of Paul and Patricia de Man). These parts were finally deposited at the UC Irvine Libraries in 2009 as part of the research project that lea to the transcription of Textual Allegories. Under the supervision of Professor Martin McQuillan, the collection was collated and digitized according to the available items listed on the original ‘Table of Contents’ in April 2010 with a grant from the British Academy
Film of man with rifle and man stretching, from experiments done by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich
No full textThis is a short film of experiments conducted by Dr. Peter V. Karpovich. The film shows a couple of different activities, including a man with a rifle and a man stretching. The film starts out with a man with a rifle. He is standing and then kneels down and points with the gun. It then switches over to a man standing with his back to the camera and stretching his arms above his head. There is a ruler strapped to his back, running down the back of his legs. His jacket has a marker on it that slides up and down the ruler as he stretches. The film then goes back to the first man who performs a series of activities, including some arm movements without the rifle. The film is not dated, though these experiments may have been conducted when Dr. Karpovich served as the Chief of the Laboratory of Physical Fitness at the School of Aviation Medicine, Army Air Force. He held this position from 1941-1945. The reel does have tape on the side that says "Clothing reel #3" and perhaps AFA, though the letters are hard to read. The film is a digital copy of the original 16mm black and white silent film.For more information on Peter V.

‘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
Competing 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
