Forum on Charlotte Epstein’s Birth of the State: The Place of the Body in Crafting Modern Politics
In this forum, four authors discuss Charlotte Epstein’s book Birth of the State: The Place of the Body in Crafting Modern Politics published in 2021. After having situated this book in a wider context of international and political thought, Jens Bartelson discusses the role of constructivism in its argument along with the relationship between continuity and change implicit in the account. Nina Krickel-Choi focuses on how the duality of mind and b…
Repenser l’impact de la surveillance après l’affaire Snowden: Sécurité nationale, droits de l’homme, démocratie, subjectivité et obéissance
Les révélations autour des programmes secrets de la NSA ont confirmé l’existence d’une surveillance de grande envergure de nos communications par les autorités gouvernementales américaines, qui touche également les pays alliés des États-Unis en Europe et en Amérique latine. Les ramifications transnationales de la surveillance nous invitent à ré-examiner les pratiques contemporaines des affaires internationales. Le débat ne se limite pas aux relat…

The changing landscape of European liberty and security: The mid‐term report of the CHALLENGE project
The article offers a critical assessment of the liberties of citizens and others living in the EU and the way in which they are affected by the proliferation of discourses about insecurity, and government and transnational agencies practices of reassurance, protection and coercion enacted in the name of the safety of citizen or their collective security, in which information about their identity is exchanged through new techniques of surveillance…
Liberté et Sécurité en Europe: Enjeux Contemporains
La liberté constitue toujours le principe à partir duquel toutes les interférences des Etats en termes de sécurité doivent être limitées, justifiées et transparentes dans les traités de l’Union européenne. La perspective qui s’esquisse ici, avec les projets de recherches plus spécifiques qui en font partie, suggère que la résistance face à la marginalisation des revendications de liberté doit être plus forte dès lors que l’on invoque le besoin d’…

Socialism and Monotheism: A Response to Jenson and Keyman
We wrote our paper as a plea to the Canadian Left to question its assumptions about the nature of politics. What we said was provocative, but by no means sectarian. Indeed, what seems to have annoyed some people is that we refused to exempt anyone from the need for rethinking. Our theoretical strategy was to underline both the bourgeois and the theological origins of common political assumptions. We were hoping to encourage intellectuals on the L…

World Politics and Western Reason: Universalism, Pluralism, Hegemony
Much recent thinking about international politics and world order reflects a number of challenges, at the levels of both theory and praxis, to the global hegemony of Western modernity. It converges upon a major critique of the universalist aspirations for one united world that have emerged from the utopian or idealist traditions of international political theory. Three elements of this critique are of particular importance: the reassertion of the…
Media and Money: The London Dock Strike of 1889 and the Australian Maritime Strike of 1890
historians have concentrated their attention on the media and in most histories of Australia the media appear only peripherally. The raising of funds in Australia to aid the dockers in 1889 has been examined by P. F. Donovan in a valuable article,1 but the financial aspects of the unions' struggle in 1890 have not been studied. Indeed, Coghlan's Labour and Industry in Australia2 still provides the most detailed account of the course of the strike…

"The Fall of the "Labor Daily
At least from 1890 the Labour Movement in New South Wales was convinced that it ought to have its own newspapers in order to counteract the power of the capitalist press ranged against it.2 The first successful Labour daily in the State was Barrier Daily Truth (1908). Two years later with the establishment of Labor Papers Ltd. hopes ran high, and a Labour newspaper was about to begin at Sydney when war broke out in 1914. It was deferred, but in J…
The Newspaper Press in the Reign of William III
Although it is not free from errors in detail, one of the considerable merits of Macaulay's History of England is the attention it gives to the newspaper Press and to the effects of the Licensing Act and of its expiry in 1695. More recently Dr de Beer has provided an admirable but brief account of the period from 1695 to 1702, but these explorations have served to open up rather than to exhaust the subject. In the present article also some intere…
The Growth of Wesleyan Methodism in Victorian England and Wales
Between the accession of queen Victoria and her death sixty-three years later the Wesleyan Methodist Church increased its membership from 292,000 to 454,000 persons. Recently, however, Dr. Currie has put this seemingly impressive growth in better perspective by indicating that in no censal decade after 1841 did the Connexion keep pace with the increase of population. In this paper that increase will be examined under two categories. First, those …

The Ambiguous Experiment: Agricultural Co-operatives in New South Wales, 1893-1896
In the course of 1893 three colonies, New South Wales, Queens land, and South Australia, in that order passed acts to facilitate the establishment on the land of communities to be managed under the co-operative principle. This unprecedented innovation was called forth by the immediate circumstances of the depression and great unemploy ment, but in another aspect may be seen as the continuation of a traditional policy of fostering land settlement …
Australia's Second Arbitration Act
One of the features that has distinguished industrial relations in Australia from those of other countries in the twentieth century has been the legally binding awards of industrial tribunals. These have occupied the place of collective bargaining elsewhere and the Australian peculiarity has usually been traced back to the great strikes and the defeat of the unions in the 1890s.1 Nevertheless, the events leading up to B. R. Wise's very successful…

Religious Changes in Liverpool in the Nineteenth Century
The study of local history can contribute much to the understanding of religious changes in the nineteenth century, for, as Professor Asa Briggs has shown, each provincial city of Victorian England had its own distinguishing class structure and manner of life. Nonconformity was strong in Birmingham and Sheffield, towns of the steel and iron industry which was largely in the hands of small masters; Manchester with its cotton mills, its large prole…

Religious Changes in Cheshire, 1750–1850
The county of Chester between 1750 and 1850 affords an interesting field of study into the impact on religion of the Industrial Revolution and the consequent great, mainly urban, population growth. In the east where the Cheshire plain swells to low foothills, which in turn give way to the gaunt moorlands and windswept heights of the Pennines, in the early stages of the Revolution factory villages were established in places where streams provided …

Lincoln Cathedral in the Reign of Queen Elizabeth I
When the three royal commissioners, doctors Thomas Bentham, William Fleetwood and Stephen Nevinson, visited Lincoln cathedral in September 1559 their injunctions, which were largely copied from those of the Edwardine visitors in April 1548, marked the permanent establishment of reform within the mother church of the diocese. It is well known that at this time they and other commissioners deprived many of the higher clergy who refused to conform t…
