Emotion, ritual and power in Europe, 1200–1920
In recent years, historians of emotion have made considerable strides concerning the integration of human feeling and experience into the broader narrative of history. As its own sub-discipline, th
The Complex Holiday Calendar of 1902
The coronation of Edward VII and events to mark the end of the South African War led to a series of public ceremonies and events in the United Kingdom that had a profound effect on attitudes linked to national occasions and public holidays. This article explores the circumstances surrounding the numerous local and national holidays of 1902. It considers the decision-making process linked to the declaration of a coronation double-bank holiday, whi…
An 'exemplary contemporary technical object'
This article explores the work of Mark B.N. Hansen and Bernard Stiegler in relation to technology, experience and cinema. It highlights the differences between their positions and evaluates their ongoing usefulness for ‘technocultural’ studies. The article starts by describing and evaluating Hansen’s critique of Stiegler on cinematic temporality. Here it argues that their very different reading of Gilbert Simondon’s work (and especially his conce…
A Tale of Two Funerals
In the late nineteenth century, British funerals became increasingly rational as they began to strip away the excesses of Victorian custom. Yet imposing public funerals for well-known figures continued to take place. Historians have previously underestimated the entertainment value which a public funeral could offer. As this article demonstrates, attendance at such funerals could only be guaranteed if the occasion held particular emotional resona…
Entertaining the community
Civic ritual and pageantry have been mainstays of urban culture since the Middle Ages, but it has been suggested that they entered a period of decline from the 1870s onwards. This article suggests that instead, local authorities reformed and revised their use of civic ceremony, celebration and commemoration, in order to keep pace with contemporary culture and to maintain public interest. The towns of Darlington and Middlesbrough are considered to…
Bernard Stiegler
BS Certainly. I'll try to do that. I've worked for nearly thirty years on the concept of memory. The starting point for my work is the question of memory in Plato; more precisely, in what Plato calls 'anamnesis', that strange memory recalling a time that has not been lived by my body. This is also a way of posing the fundamental transcendental question, because in the end Plato's concept of anamnesis is in a certain sense the concept of the origi…
Technics, Individuation and Tertiary Memory
Media studies as a field has traditionally been wary of the question of technology. Discussion of technology has often been restricted to relatively sterile debates about technological determinism. In recent times there has been renewed interest, however, in the technological dimension of media. In part this is doubtless due to rapid changes in media technology, such as the rise of the internet and the digital convergence of media technologies. B…
The Gold Standard and Literature
It has been commonplace for critics to read André Gide’s 1925 novel Les Faux-Monnayeurs ( The Counterfeiters ), as being concerned with the theme of sincerity. Yet, as the novel’s very title suggests, this is also a novel preoccupied with something like the opposite of the sincere, that is, with the insincere, the inauthentic and the fake. Indeed, in a certain sense, the title of Gide’s novel is itself fraudulent. For only a handful of the novel’…
Introduction to Bernard Stiegler
Bernard Stiegler is best known for his multi‐volume work La technique et le temps, where he first expounds his ideas on la technique (technics). These ideas are developed and extended in more recen
Adorning the Living but Not the Dead
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate whether the presence of gold and bronze ornaments in Britain during the centuries c. 1400-1100 cal BC constitutes an ‘ornament horizon’ and to analyse the roles that these objects played in prehistoric communities. To achieve this, a comprehensive ornament database was compiled and the evidence for ornament production, forms, distribution, modes of adornment, and depositional practices was analysed. This r…
Cinema as mnemotechnics

The Use and Significance of Socketed Axes During the Late Bronze Age
The widespread employment and acceptance of use-wear analysis on materials such as flint and bone has not been accompanied by a parallel development in archaeometallurgy. This article explores its potential and problems through the investigation of socketed axes in eastern Yorkshire, in England and south-east Scotland during the late Bronze Age. Experimental work on modern replications of socketed axes was compared with wear traces on prehistoric…
