Colours of democracy: Trade union banners and the contested articulations of democratic spatial practices
This paper locates trade union banners and those of other campaigns and left organisations as part of the ongoing work and labour of producing democratic political cultures. It argues that engaging with the ways in which they were used, shaped, produced and re‐worked can shed important light on often neglected spatial practices and forms of agency of democratic politics. We contend that engaging with the geographical imaginaries and practices sha…
News and the Human Interest Story
In this account of the growth of newspapers in modern, industrial society, Helen Hughes traces the development of a mass audience through analysis of the origins of the human interest story in the popular ballads of an earlier day. She shows how such commonly found interests as a taste for news of the town, ordinary gossip, and moving or gripping tales with a legendary or mythic quality have reflected the tastes of ordinary folk from the days of …
Trade union banners and the construction of a working‐class presence: Notes from two labour disputes in 1980s Glasgow and North Lanarkshire
This paper draws on a project ‘Banner Tales of Glasgow’, which is the result of an ongoing collaboration between geographers, museum staff and trade unionists. The paper draws on testimonies from workers involved in two labour disputes in the mid 1980s. We use these testimonies to think about the use of banners in the construction of working‐class solidarities. This discussion is used to illuminate the relations between the formation of a working…

Arnold's career was a straight and steep line of progression; Caroline's, despite her record of scholarly productivity, existed on the fringes of academia—night school, correspondence courses, and extension and part-time teaching. Examination of the authors and reviews in the American Journ…

Maid of All Work or Departmental Sister-in-Law? The Faculty Wife Employed on Campus
Three propositions issue from an analysis of protracted personal experience in the editorial office of the American Journal of Sociology: (1) a possible effect of employing a faculty wife in a position on campus where her superiors include her husband's colleagues may be a downward transfer of responsibility, initiated by them or by herself; (2) with such a change in relationships a job which had been defined as temporary and amateur may become p…
