Dehumanization and the War in East Africa
This paper considers the dehumanization of the African during and after the First World War, focussing on East Africa. During the campaign dehumanization was evident in attitudes towards African soldiers but was most starkly seen in the treatment of the carriers. These attitudes informed the work of the Imperial War Graves Commission, which largely excluded Africans from individual commemoration in British cemeteries and memorials. The German aut…
‘White graves’ and Natives
The present-day Commonwealth War Graves Commission’s (CWGC) public prole relies on a constant reiteration of the controversial fundamental principles that were established by its founder, Sir Fabian Ware, in 1920. ‘The Commission’s Principles’, as they appear on the ‘Our Organisation’ page of their current website (April 2012), are listed as follows:Each of the dead should be commemorated by name on the grave or memorial. Headstones and memorials…
Key Sociological Thinkers
From the Publisher: This second edition of a popular and successful text offers an easily understood introduction to the theorists who have made a key contribution to the discipline of sociology. Its carefully formulated structure places the writers' passions in their social and intellectual context, summarizes the central issues dealt with in their work and sketches out the intellectual legacy they have left behind them. With four new chapters o…
Subalterns at War
This paper considers the politics of naming in memorials of the First World War. That such memorials are highly political is shown in the case of the 'Indian' memorial at Neuve Chapelle: at the request of Pakistan, who wanted it to be retitled the Indo-Pakistan memorial, the War Graves Commission attempted to erase the word 'India' from the memorial's register, documentation and signage. Comparing this memorial on the Western Front with its count…

Imagination in Theory
Stuart Hall
Key sociologist? Stuart Hall certainly is a key figure in contemporary sociology, but he was not trained in the discipline and his preoccupations are very different from those of mainstream sociology. Much of his work has been directed towards the development of ‘cultural studies’, which is now (largely through his efforts) widely recognized as an independent discipline. It is a sign of the current pluralism within sociology, and an indicator of …
Words and Things
The ambition to dispense with ‘things’-and to value ‘words’ more-has caused some general perplexity and irritation. many feminists, in particular, have traditionally tended to see ‘things’-be they low pay, rape, or female foeticide-as more significant than, for example, the discursive construction of marginality in a text or document. In this essay I want w explore how the issue of the relative status of things and words has become a central one …

The Politics of Truth
This book is at once a textbook survey and critique of the theory of ideology, and the site of Michele Barrett's settling of accounts with Marxism. With the honesty we have come to expect of her, she announces that she has now nailed her colours 'to the mast of a more general postMarxism'. Foucault, despite some jitters about his competence, has been entrusted with the helm, and Laclau and Mouffe are prominent among the crew. That the theory of i…

Is Canadian feminism MERELY a dependent offshoot of American, British or French feminism? Or is it distinctly different? The two books under review are both designed to offer evidence not only for the distinctiveness of Canadian feminism but also for the special contribution that Canadians have made to feminist theory. The Politics of Diversity, edited by Roberta Hamilton and Michele Barrett, two Marxist feminist scholars, the first of whom is Ca…
Max Raphael and the Question of Aesthetics
Questions of aesthetics, never unduly prominent in Marxist approaches to culture, have recently become relegated to an extremely marginal position in theoretical and critical debates. It is not that Marxism has failed to develop a tradition of work on aesthetics—for in the past it has—but that such concerns
The Concept of 'Difference
This article investigates the different ways in which the concept of 'difference' has been deployed in recent feminist writing and debate. Historically, feminism has displayed a tension between what are often referred to in shorthand as the 'difference or equality' objectives. Should the aim of feminism be to address that which defines women's condition at the present time, seeking greater material rewards and enhanced cultural validation? Or sho…

Christine Delphy
One of the most crucial questions currently faced by feminist analysis must surely be that of the relationship of the domestic economy to the oppression of women. It is an issue that raises many problems to which we have as yet only unsatisfactory answers. What is the material basis of the oppression of women? What is the class position of women? How does the situation of women differ from that of other oppressed groups? In Britain there has been…

Feminism and Class Politics
In December 1984 Angela Weir and Elizabeth Wilson, two founding members of Feminist Review, published an article assessing contemporary British feminism and its relationship to the left and to class struggle. They suggested that the women's movement in general, and socialist-feminism in particular, had lost its former political sharpness. The academic focus of socialist-feminism has proved more interested in theorizing the ideological basis of se…

Materialist Aesthetics
Marxist aesthetics has long since rejected the reductionism of those who sought to ‘explain’ art simply by reference to its supposed determination in the interests or ideology of particular social classes. The shift away from economism, from the unsatisfactory and intolerant division between ‘base’ and ‘superstructure’, has engendered

Narcissism and the Family
A crucial question for feminists is whether the gendered subjectivity of today really does follow the model of patriarchal authority elaborated in psychoanalytic theory. Juliet Mitchell has probably provided the best-known claim for the validity of psychoanalysis as the key to understanding how feminity and masculinity are acquired

Ethnocentrism and Socialist-Feminist Theory
Definitions relating to ethnicity and race are muddled and politically contentious. Empirical information is often collected on varying criteria and this makes it difficult for adequate comparisons to be made. We propose to follow the most usual definition of ‘black’ in the British context by using the term to refer to people of Asian, African and West Indian origin. Hence we include people from the Indian sub-continent and their descendants (som…
