evidence
from the records of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company (now British
Petroleum) and Shell for the period,
1939-45 supplements accounts of British
oil relations
based on state archives. This historical account demonstrates the continuity between the
interwar industry cartel and the Allied
wartime collaboration orchestrated through industry
committees. The
companies made use of their quasi-official position to manage crisis of
prewar arrangements aggravated by the war which presaged the rapid expansion of
postwar Middle East production. The companies then shaped the Anglo-American Oil
Agreements of
1944
and 1945, establishing a
basis for
remaking their position
in the
Middle East, expanding the web of
interfirm
relations. The nationalisation of
Anglo-
Iranian in 1951 threatened the web and the companies were able to embargo nationalised
Iranian oil and thus bankrupt the state. This society of oil majors was constituted by
shared
understandings and interests cultivated by the companies.
Structures of private governance may be quite significant factors for
states allied to them.
The United Kingdom
was more closely tied into the system of private governance that
prevailed in international oil
in the middle
decades of the century than was the United
States and consequently was able to call on more resources to resist
United States
initiatives during this period. British influence persisted in the oil
issue-area, in
spite of
greater
United States resources overall, because of this close working relationship
between state and companies. Close examination of the relationship reveals the extent of
penetration by the companies into both the decision-malting and implementation of
foreign
relations. The `national' interest was thus articulated through an interplay of
Governmental
and corporate agendas, and this supports a general argument that `national' power
is not
exercised solely
by the state, but by the state in
cooperation with other powerful social
institutions. Non-state actors and their archives may enrich the study of foreign relations
Narratives of Collaboration in Post-War France, 1944 – 1974
Get PDFArguing that literary narratives (whether fictional or autobiographical) can provide an important way in which the past is accessed and understood, this thesis uses such narratives to compare and contrast cultural representations of collaboration with the Gaullist political accounts described in Henry Rousso’s Le Syndrome de Vichy. Following the introduction, chapter one examines the perception and characteristics of collaboration, providing a broad analysis of collaboration and collaborators which frames later chapters. There follows a discussion of the generic boundaries between history, autobiography and fiction, showing that novels can contain many of the attributes conventionally ascribed to historical texts, as well as having a freedom of form which allows them to examine and relate subjects not allowed to historical accounts. Next, selected novels (by Marcel Aymé, Jean-Louis Bory, Marie Chaix, Céline, Jean-Louis Curtis, Jean Dutourd, Pascal Jardin, Patrick Modiano, Saint-Loup, and Michel Tournier) are analysed at length to examine how specific forms of collaboration have been understood, and how they subvert Rousso’s schema of repression or marginalisation of the phenomenon. Novels written in the immediate aftermath of the war actually gave a convincing representation of collaboration and the everyday wartime experience, contrasting with the ‘official’ story which sought to forget collaboration. Representations of intellectual and cultural collaboration show that, contrary to de Gaulle’s attempts to portray France as a nation of resisters, high-profile figures from these circles offered a more persuasive alternative to this view. This is also shown to be the case for depictions of military and paramilitary collaboration, which openly describe armed and violent collaboration, challenging and contrasting with the Gaullist representation of mass resistance supported by the civil population. Finally, familial memories are used to revaluate the mode rétro in light of earlier chapters. Although this phenomenon found innovative ways to view the war, it did not represent a wholly new, or more open, account, and was subject to its own repressions and distortions

Introduction by Dr Christina Faull; edited interview with Professor Patrick Wall.Unrelieved pain caused by cancer is experienced by more than 5 million people worldwide, and over the past 50 years has been accepted as unnecessary by both clinicians and politicians. Major innovations in the understanding of pain and our ability to treat it have been made. This Witness Seminar, chaired by Professor David Clark, describes the development of pain clinics, the introduction of the hospice in Britain, and global implementation of innovative technologies for cancer pain relief and advances in research during the latter part of the twentieth century. International health planners argue that the outstanding challenge is to put this knowledge into practice in healthcare settings around the world, often where resources are limited.

Resenha de Finnegans Wakes: Tales of Translation (2022), de Patrick O’Neill
Get PDFThis review addresses the book Finnegans Wakes: Tales of Translation (2022), by Patrick O'Neill, which charts the international history of translations of the novel Finnegans Wake (1939), by James Joyce (1882-1941). O’Neill presents and analyzes all 16 published complete translations of Joyce’s novel as well as the numerous partial translations into several languages. With chapters organized by decades and by specific languages, the book spans the period from the 1930s to the 2020s, covering the initial efforts to translate excerpts from Finnegans Wake even before its full publication in 1939, and also presenting translations that are currently in progress and expected to be published in the coming years. The author demonstrates, with several examples, that the translation process of Finnegans Wake involves transformation and expansion, rather than reproduction or clarification.Esta resenha aborda o livro Finnegans Wakes: Tales of Translation (2022), de Patrick O’Neill, que discorre sobre a história internacional das traduções do romance Finnegans Wake (1939), de James Joyce (1882-1941).

‘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
The campaign for democratic socialism 1960-1964.
No full textPhDIn early 1960 it seemed likely that the official Labour
Party defence policy would be defeated by a unilateralist
resolution at the Scarborough Conference. In response to
this possibility the Campaign for Democratic Socialism,
or CDS, was established.
The CDS projected the image of a grass-roots movement
inspired by Gaitskell's "fight and fight again" speech.
But it was run by a Campaign Committee which included
leading members of the Party like Tony Crosland, Roy
Jenkins and Patrick Gordon Walker, as well as less well
known members like Bill Rodgers, Dick Taverne, Philip
Williams, Brian Walden, Denis Howell and David Marquand.
This highly talented group launched an elaborate and
successful lobbying, publicity and briefing operation
which was influential in overturning the unilateralist
vote at the Blackpool Conference of 1961. After Blackpool
the Campaign helped many of its leading members find
seats in the House of Commons while continuing to put the
"revisionist" case through its newspaper Campaign.
The importance of the CDS in the history of the Labour
Party is, primarily, as the first internal pressure group
organised by the right of the Party. It was also the
first internal Party group to use such sophisticated
lobbying techniques. Moreover, the subsequent careers of
the leading members of the Campaign influenced the
development of the Labour Party. The CDS was an important
formative political action for many of them. Finally many
of the CDS supporters set-up or joined the SDP when it
was launched
