Performing like a state? State-ness, sovereignty and the ‘illegal’ immigrant
This article explores some conceptual challenges at stake in studying the state. It builds on the ways in which scholars have contested ideas of states as unitary or coherent entities in order to think instead about how states are made – and indeed, made up – in practice. Drawing on work that treats states in terms of ideas, imaginaries, and effects, I come to focus on what it means to perform like a state – to perform ‘state-ness’. I exemplify t…
Revisiting resistance through rituals
Revisiting Resistance through Rituals in a very different conjuncture has made me think about some of the less dramatic threads of its analyses for their capacity to connect then and now. The first involves the idea of a repertoire of negotiations and responses (Hall and Jefferson, 2006: 36) which sketches a non-essentialist approach to thinking about the forms and practices of working-class political culture. What might the idea of ‘repertoire’ …
Theorizing the Social Dynamics of Roman Humor
Humor, both verbal and visual, is culture-specific. This article examines two well-preserved tavern paintings to understand Roman acculturation, or attitude-formation, with regard to humor. Two complementary theoretical aprroaches, one from sociology, the other from literary theory, reveal multiple strategies employed to elicit laughter, including differences in social status, the carnivalesque, analogies between bodily and spatial representation…

Reconstructing citizenship (again)
In a collaborative project, we argued that citizenship was always both ‘unfinished’ (imparfaite) and ‘under construction’ (en travaux). This contribution examines some of the ways in which citizenship continues to be unfinished and is in the process of being reconstructed. It highlights three particular tendencies that have dominated the processes – and the politics – of citizenship’s reconstruction: a deepening nationalisation of citizenship; an…
Following the science? Covid-19, ‘race’ and the politics of knowing
The UK government has consistently claimed to be ‘following the science’ in its approach to the pandemic but this claim conceals complex and shifting entanglements of politics and science. The instability of the relationship between politics and science became increasingly visible around the unequal vulnerability of racialized minorities to infection and death from Covid-19. How and when Black and other minoritized deaths matter has become the fo…
What's the subject? Brexit and politics as articulation
This paper focuses on the moment of Brexit and its political aftermath in order to challenge dominant academic and popular conceptions of the political subject as singular and coherent. Instead, we suggest that there is an urgent political and analytical need for a view of the subject as multiple, contradictory, and dialogic. As interdisciplinary scholars working on the borders of policy studies and cultural studies, we think this is a critical s…

People in this country have had enough of experts’
In June 2016, the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union, creating massive political turmoil and controversy. Our aim in this paper is to contribute to a discussion about how to analyze such critical moments in policy and politics. Rather than searching for one ‘real’ cause (whether the micro-politics of the Conservative Party or popular disaffection from neo-liberalism), we offer a form of conjunctural analysis that highlights issues o…
The instabilities of expertise
In this article, we explore the implications of contemporary populist challenges to established forms of expertise in the UK, USA and elsewhere. Drawing on a Foucauldian conception of knowledge and power as always articulated, we argue for a conjunctural approach to understanding the ways in which formations of expertise become stabilized and de-stabilized, vulnerable to challenge and contestation. We trace the role of economic expertise in defin…

Satisfactory Progress? Keywords in English School Inspection
In this paper, we explore some of the keywords around which the practice of school inspection is ordered in England. As part of a project that explores the role of inspection in governing schooling in England, Scotland and Sweden, we have examined some of the key sources through which Ofsted (The Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills) publicly announces its role and purpose. In considering these texts, we have turned t…

Contemporary Tourist Behaviour
This book examines the tourist, in all its varied forms, and consists of 16 chapters presented in four parts. Chapter 1 examines the definition of a tourist, the misconceptions about tourists, types of tourists and distinction between tourists, travellers and visitors. Chapter 2 elucidates tourist behaviour as exhibited by different nations, explains the behaviour and discusses if tourists share common patterns and behaviour regardless of nationa…
Programmatic Statements and Dull Empiricism
Foucault's lectures of 1979 offer an astonishingly early and suggestive survey of the rise, and varieties, of neo-liberalism. In this review, I do two things: first, I take up some of the key theme
Still Policing the Crisis
Writing this has been a troubling experience. Returning to a text 30 years on in this way combines intellectual, political and personal reflections in an unsettling way. These range from a powerful attachment to processes of collective or collaborative intellectual work that Policing the Crisis ( PTC; Hall et al., 1978) embodied and enhanced to a rather depressed sense of how many things the book got right about the trajectory of the British soci…

Managing social policy
This innovative text offers an assessment of the role of management in the restructuring of social welfare in contemporary Britain. In the transformation of the welfare state since the 1970s, management has been accorded a central role. New forms and ideas of management have had profound consequences for: the organization and delivery of public services; the political processes of policy formation; systems of accountability; and the experiences b…
Ideologies of Welfare
The British welfare state has been a political and ideological battleground since its inception, yet many of the voices in the crucial debates have been lost in orthodox histories. This work explores the development of the welfare state through the debates which surrounded it in three key periods: the turn of the century; the Beveridge period; and the 1970s and 1980s. Each section focuses on four main, and competing approaches: laissez-faire indi…

The Indeterminacy of Choice
Choice has become a central – and much debated – theme of New Labour's approach to the reform of public service. In this article we examine the conditions and consequences of the indeterminacy of choice in political discourse, policy development and organisational dynamics. We suggest that the under-specification of choice in political and policy settings risks devolving the stresses of indeterminacy to service organisations and their interaction…
Consumers, Clients or Citizens? Politics, Policy and Practice in the Reform of Social Care
In the United Kingdom, New Labour articulated a consumerist view of the relationship between the public and public services. Its view of the citizen-as-consumer was the source of considerable political controversy and debate – both within and beyond public services. In this paper, I explore four aspects of consumerism in relation to social care in the United Kingdom: the political context of the rise of the ‘citizen-consumer’; the place of the ci…
Unsettled Connections
This article explores some of the conditions and consequences of the centrality of the figure of the consumer in recent public service reform in the UK. New Labour's view of the modern world as being defined in part by the rise of a consumer culture or consumer society locates the figure of the consumer at the heart of its programme of public service reform in the decade from 1997. Drawing on a recent study of public services, the article conside…

Marcus Garvey
There is now a renaissance of interest in the life of Marcus Garvey. The African Independence Explosion, that started in 1957 when the former West African colony called the Gold Coast, became an independent country, now called Ghana, helped to set this renaissance in motion. Some of Marcus Garvey's dreams about African redemption were being realized. In his lifetime, he was a man who had a stubborn belief in the impossible, and came close to achi…
Managing Local Mixed Economies of Care
It is widely agreed that there has been a move within the United Kingdom away from one welfare state as traditionally understood towards a mixed economy of welfare, in which public, private, voluntary, and not-for-profit sectors are expected to work together. How the new mixed economy is expected to work is less clear. In this paper we focus on two crucial aspects of the change with respect to care services-in emergent local mixed economies of ca…

Third Class on the Blue Train to Kumasi
THE NIGHT BEFORE my departure for Kumasi most of the families in the apartment compound, in Jamestown, the Ga community of Accra, Ghana, had ventured to my small room and wished me safe journey. Soon after I arrived to live among them they readily adopted me and became concerned about all of my activities during my mission. Someone jokingly forewarned me against the Ashantis of Kumasi. Many years ago they were the traditional enemies of the Ga pe…

The Congo valley became the gathering place of various branches of th…

The Search for Timbuctoo
The African writer, Abderrahman EsSa'di, in his great work, Tarikh es-Sudan (History of the Sudan), says that Timbuctoo was founded at the end of the fifth century after the Hegira (Muslim calendar) which corresponds with the eleventh century of our era. It began as a camp of the Tuaregs, the strange veiled tribe of the Southern Sahara, who incidentally are still the main troublemakers in the area around present day Timbuctoo. Es-Sa'di called it …
