The World Turned Upside Down, Again
In the 1960s and 1970s, the period of the Civil War and the English Revolution featured prominently in a variety of films ranging from the mainstream historical drama Cromwell to the independent Winstanley and the folk horror film Witchfinder General. Film-makers’ interest in the period at that time coincided with the cultural, social and political turmoil of 1968 as well as with the increasingly popularised revision of the period in Marxist hist…
What constitutes a democratic university
This article engages with the idea of a democratic university in the light of the current academic protest movement at German universities. It considers the unique situation of labour rights in the context of German laws and their imminent reform, as well as the birth of new kinds of academic protest in the wake of the recent Covid lockdowns. The article recalls Jacques Derrida's 1998 proposal for a democratic 'unconditional university' and criti…
The Gift of The Mediator
The three latest entries to the Duke University Press series Stuart Hall: Selected Writings highlight three core concerns of Stuart Hall's wide-ranging intellectual work. Their titles - Selected Writings on Race and Difference (edited by Paul Gilroy and Ruth Wilson Gilmore), Selected Writings on Media (edited by Charlotte Brunsdon) and Selected Writings on Marxism (edited by Gregor McLennan) - may seem to suggest that it is easy to neatly separat…
Utopia and the Contemporary British Novel
The development of the novel as a literary form is closely linked to the representational mode of realism and how it can convey the human experience of time. That the novel distinguishes itself substantially from earlier forms of literature in how it attempts to capture temporality through means of literary realism has been acknowledged ever since Ian Watt’s The Rise of the Novel (1957). As such, the novel form underwent dramatic changes througho…
The Social Antagonism between Whiteness and Antiracism
This article depicts two cases of “lost Whiteness” and unintentional racial “passing.” Based on years of ethnographic research, we present the story of two White people who – largely because of their truly-determined commitment to racial justice activism – were thought by others as being or becoming Persons of Color. These activists were not trying to pass. Rather, they are manifestations of a “reverse racial pass,” defined as “any instance in wh…
The Intersections of Whiteness
Trumpism and the racially implied Islamophobia of the "travel ban"; Brexit and the yearning for Britain's past imperial grandeur; Black Lives Matter; the public backlash against Merkel's refugee policies in Germany. These seemingly national responses to the changing demographics in a multitude of Western nations need to be understood as effects of a global/transnational crisis of whiteness. The Intersections of Whiteness brings together scholars …
