Irish English as a World English
The objective of this chapter is to apply a synthesis of models for world Englishes to Irish English, for which data from ICE-corpora, the Handbook of Varieties of English , the Mouton Atlas , eWAVE, and the GloWbE corpus are used, and to which many approaches are applied: geo-political, dynamic-model, corpus, statistical, and multi-functional factor analysis. The chapter's relevance lies in its bringing together wide-ranging and seemingly dispar…
The International Corpus of English project
This article begins by introducing the International Corpus of English project and proceeds to summarize the findings and outcomes of an extensive review by written questionnaire conducted by the present authors (Kirk & Nelson, 2017). Although critically concerned with practice hitherto, the review also discusses possible second generation components, and the issues in need of addressing before they should begin. The report contains many comments…
Cultures of Radicalism in Britain and Ireland
Representing Identity and Work in Transition
This chapter explores the changing face of the former South Yorkshire coalfields.1 The place of coal mining in this area was essential to the economy of the region from the turn of the twentieth century, intensifying and consolidating its production following the Second World War. These developments powerfully transformed and shaped the region, embedding cultural traditions and social identities that defined South Yorkshire through the working of…
Changing Work and Community Identities in European Regions
This book juxtaposes the experiences of regions that have lived or are living through industrial transition in coal-mining and manufacturing centres throughout Europe, opening the way to a deeper unde
Resilience and loss in work identities
The article examines the importance of ‘emotional labour’ in the constitution of the ‘teacherly‐self’. Deriving from a research project on work and social identity, the article explores the ways teachers have negotiated the radical changes in the profession in recent years, and uses the notion of ‘teacher resilience’ to explore the ways teachers have reacted to the effects of neo‐liberal reforms to education; reforms that have powerfully impacted…
Competing Voices from Revolutionary Cuba
Using a huge array of sources from the political, religious, social, artistic and personal spheres, the story of Cuba, so often linked with the neighbouring US, is set in its historical context and rigorously examined. Issues examined include: the Revolution and upheaval that followed; the Cuban missile crisis; Cuba's position in COMECON; the rise of Cuba's profile in the 1980s; the crisis that followed the dismantling of the USSR; Cuba in the C2…
Reflections on Medical Internationalism
I don't think that does leave you, because it's about where you come from
This article examines a teacher identity through the context of class background and habitus. It considers the significance of class transition, probing how a teacher's working-class history informs and helps define the emergence and consolidation of a teacher identity - to shape what is called here a particular 'teacherly self.' It explores some of the difficulties the working-class actor may experience on entering a largely middle-class profess…
Class, Culture and Social Change
Drawing on the work of Raymond Williams, Valentin Volosinov and Mikhail Bakhtin, the book examines key issues for working-class studies including: the idea of the 'death' of class; the importance of w
Classifying matters
Although the rhetoric of classlessness has never quite found the resonance that it has in North American mythology, there have been key moments in British culture when this proposition occupied a hegemonic role in sociological and cultural commentary. In recent years this position has strengthened so that a range of factors have displaced class and produced a more confident and strident rhetoric of classlessness in British society than heard hith…
Class, Culture and Social Change
Class, Culture and Social Change: On the Trail of the Working Class challenges the notion of the 'death of the working class'. It does this by taking a broad historical and theoretical overview of the way class - in particular ideas of the British working class - has been represented in a range of cultural forms from ethnography and cultural theory, to film and the novel. The author examines a number of key issues for working-class studies: the i…
Housing, Urban Development, and the Persistance of Racial Inequality in the Post-Civil Rights Era South
This article locates the well-known dramatic events of the 1957 Little Rock school crisis within the longer-term postwar racial struggles in that city, and in particular the ongoing battles over race, housing and urban redevelopment that continue today
Marking the Moral Boundaries of Class
This article welcomes the recent renewed interest in the topic of class within sociology and cultural studies. This comes after a long period - from around the middle part of the 1980s and into the 1990s - during which social class was dismissed as a mode of understanding socio-economic and cultural conditions on the part of both academics and mainstream political organisations alike. Working-class formations in particular came under scrutiny, in…

Mapping the Remains of the Postindustrial Landscape
This article examines class and its relevance for contemporary cultural studies in Britain through a reading of a recent publication concerned with the current state of the British working class in the wake of rapid socioeconomic change occurring in the United Kingdom and across the developed world. Although the subject of social class in Britain has always been contentious, the past two decades have witnessed a retreat from class analysis in a w…
Invisible ink
The article examines a range of working-class writing from the 1980s and early 1990s in the context of the then current and continuing debates in Britain about the relevance of class in relation to identity and/or experience. The work explores some of the reasons for the devaluation of class and class analyses in recent times, and sets out to question this development by reviewing working-class writing from the period which articulates the contin…
Bitters in the Honey
Transformation and Struggle
This is the second of two volumes to bear witness to the Cuban experience. Together with its predecessor,Cuba: Twenty-Five Years of Revolution, it offers a positive account. Yet, it is sensitive to the dilemmas and flawed strategies in Cuba's thirty-year process of transformation. It warns that no preconceived notion of state or of development will help grasp the multifaceted nature of this nation, which reflects aspects of both developed and und…
John Paul II and the Exorcism of Liberation Theology
The summer of 1984 has provided Vatican watchers of a Latin American bent with many important developments. The scene was set by the Pope's six-day visit to Switzerland in June (where he went to great lengths to demand obedience to papal authority, and to the Church hierarchy). That same month, the Peruvian Episcopal Conference, despite earlier pressure from Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger that they censure liberation theology and its best known propon…

Roman Malton
Except for some trenches dug in 1865-6, when the Thirsk and Malton railway was constructed, no systematic excavation of the Roman station at Malton has ever been made until 1927. Although casual Roman finds have been plentiful, few of them have been published and little is definitely known about the site and its history, the current Ordnance Survey map merely marking the Fortress as 'Supposed Roman Camp'. Many of the statements made about it in t…
