Introduction
As Smart (2010: 147) puts it pithily: “‘Enough’ does not appear in the lexicon of modern consumerism.” Nevertheless, in the new so-called age of austerity, frugality—the focus of this special issue
Shotguns and Firearms in the UK
The outcome of a UK government's Home Affairs select committee's discussion of the regulation of gun ownership called for reform. The impetus for the review was the shootings in Cumbria and Northumberland in 2010. This article challenges why the social science community has had little to say about the legal ownership and use of guns in the UK and argues that opportunities to shape the debate have been lost. This article demonstrates that there is…
Hunting is not just for blood-thirsty toffs’
This paper draws upon insights from discursive and rhetorical psychology, and studies that take seriously the notion that visual materials contain arguments, to explore the rhetorical construction of a set of posters used by the British Countryside Alliance in their unsuccessful campaign against the ban upon hunting with dogs. It examines how versions of opposing arguments are constructed and countered through forms of stake inoculation, which ar…
The dilemma of frugality and consumption in British women's magazines 1940–1955
The present paper is based upon a corpus of texts drawn from women's magazines published whilst a policy of rationing was in effect in Britain. It problematises the way in which some debates about the significance of frugality and consumption at that time have been constructed – in an either/or manner. As an alternative, it advocates a more dilemmatic, and messier, approach that can better grasp the nuanced ways in which frugality was also used a…
The ‘spectre of anti-Americanism’ in the British public debate over the 2003 invasion of Iraq
This paper draws upon insights from rhetorical and discursive psychology in order to attend to a particular dimension of the public debate in Britain surrounding the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. It is concerned with discourse regarding the relevance of ‘anti-Americanism’, and the difficulty that circulation of such an accusation fostered for critics of the war.It uses examples drawn from British national press coverage, and the content of parl…
‘I am not Homophobic But…’
This article attempts to take seriously the discourse of the morally conservative in the context of the failed repeal of Section 28 in the year 2000, and explores the operation of opposition to repeal which denied that homophobia was its motivation. It is argued that such disclaiming implies an orientation towards an attribution of homophobia as unhelpful or undesirable in this context. The failure of those advocating repeal to successfully probl…
