Conflit sans fin ? Pratiques mémorielles et persistance matérielle de « 14-18 »
La Grande Guerre semble être un conflit sans fin. La sortie de guerre, notamment la démobilisation, fut longue. De nombreux incidents parmi les forces armées britanniques et impériales se déclarent en conséquence, parfois très violents. La fin des hostilités ne donne pas lieu à un sentiment de clôture chez beaucoup d’anciens soldats, marqués pour toujours par l’expérience de la guerre. Les pratiques mémorielles instituées par la Commonwealth War …
John Reith and the BBC 1922-1939
The habit of government control engendered by the Great War ensured the emergence of a public broadcasting corporation over a set of private initiatives: but, even so, this required the exceptional drive and sense of mission of John Reith. The latter’s character is still credited, by many, with leading the BBC’s quest for the Holy Grail of broadcasting – media impartiality: yet the Earl of Crawford felt, in 1925, that Reith had a “swelled head”. …

The Experience of British-Argentine Volunteers 1914-18
Many British Argentines volunteered in 1914–18: some who had left Argentina for the dominions also fought in the imperial forces raised there. Evidence from a range of sources suggests that notwithstanding its geographical isolation and lack of any formal constitutional links with Britain, Argentina functioned as a part of the “British world” during the First World War. The Welsh colony in Chubut, Patagonia, given the disaffection between the col…
Preserving the Sixties
Re-examining the long-held belief that the Sixties in Britain were dominated mainly by 'youth' and 'protest', the authors in the collection argue that innovation was everywhere shadowed by conservatis
British Informal Empire during the Great War. Welsh Identity and Loyalty in Argentina
In Latin America, where British imperial expansion had left little administrative trace, Argentina was nonetheless profoundly affected by British investment and imported British technical expertise. Among the more modest examples of British expansionism in Argentina was the arrival, from 1865 onwards, of Welsh immigrants eager to establish a colony in Patagonia isolated from the seemingly unstoppable progress of Anglicisation by an overwhelmingly…
Restoration Politics, Religion and Culture, by George Southcombe and Grant Tapsell
This is a delightful book. Deriving from lectures which the authors delivered in Oxford, it is structured as a series of interpretative essays which address key questions in the political, religious and cultural history of the period—what the Restoration solved, why the Dissenters were a problem, what was at stake in the Exclusion Crisis, the relative successes and failings of Charles II and James VII and II as royal politicians, the ‘British’ di…
Empowerment, Marginalization, and "Community-integrated" GIS
The "GIS and Society" literature has raised a number of critical issues concerning the political economy and epistemology of geographical information systems (GIS) and the politics and power relations associated with their use. Recently, attention has focused on the potential for GIS to help empower communities. This paper reviews the GIS and Society debate. Case studies of public participation GIS are reviewed. The GIS-empowerment-marginalizatio…
Maupassant in the Hall of Mirrors
Narrative with No Loose Ends
Sur toutes les routes autour de Goderville, les paysans et leurs femmes s’en venaient vers le bourg; car c’était jour de marché. Les mâles allaient à pas tranquilles, tout le corps en avant à chaque mouvement de leurs longues jambes torses, déformées par les rudes travaux, par la pesée sur la charrue qui fait en même temps monter l’épaule gauche et dévier la taille, par le fauchage des blés qui fait écarter les genoux pour prendre un aplomb solid…
