‘The half I keep’
Fifty years after John Berger’s controversial acceptance speech for the Booker Prize in 1972, in which he highlighted Booker McConnell’s involvement in the colonial exploitation of the Caribbean and announced that he would donate half of the prize money to the British Black Panthers and use the other half to research the situation of European migrant workers, the author reflects on the implications of the speech for anti-racist struggle in the 19…
Centaurs, Rioting in Thessaly
This book treads new paths through the labyrinths of our human thought. It meanders through the darkness to encounter the monsters at the heart of the maze: Minotaurs, Centaurs, Automata, Makers, Humans. One part of our human thought emerges from classical Ionia and Greek civilisation more generally. We obsessively return to that thought, tread again its pathways, re-enact its stories, repeat its motifs and gestures. We return time and time again…

The Slave Ship, Memory and the Origin of Modernity
Traces; slave names, the islands and cities into which we are born, our musics and rhythms, our genetic compositions, our stories of our lost utopias and the atrocities inflicted upon our ancestors, by our ancestors, the social structure of our cities, the nature of our diasporas, the scars inflicted by history. These are all the remnants of the middle passage of the slave ship for those in the multiple diasporas of the globe today, whose complex…
Schwitters’s Ursonate and the Merz Barn Wall
This paper notes the importance of Kurt Schwitters’s Merz project to the modernist politics and poetics of exile of the 20th century. Placing the sound work of Schwitters within his full Merz project, the author assesses the relations between the Ursonate and the final Merzbau. He discusses three of these relations—collage, found objects and the structures of building materiality in language and sculpture—and presents Schwitters’s work as culmina…
Music, Knowledge and the Sociology of Sound
The sociology of music has often concentrated less on analysing and understanding the specificity and meanings of musical material culture as both an object and a process and more about ransacking music for insights into wider social relations like class, race and gender. The social constitution of music and the musical constitution of the social deserve a more sustained attempt at explicating relations and musical forms. This paper looks at the …
Jean Mohr
The work of Jean Mohr, the photographer who has often collaborated with John Berger on projects covering migrancy, refuge, displacement, subaltern classes (and their passing) and on Palestine (with Edward Said), is celebrated here. The author argues that the nature and role of photography is rethought by Mohr, as his photographic work, which is integral to the text, transcends time and place to suggest a universality
Five African American spirituals and Michael Tippett's A Child of Our Time
The orchestral and choral compositions of Michael Tippett often displayed his commitment to themes of social justice and political emancipation. What is little understood about his masterwork, A Child of Our Time, is its origin in the assassination of an obscure German diplomat by a German Jewish émigré in Paris in 1938, which also marked the beginning of Kristallnacht and so on to the final solution of the 'Jewish problem'. Struggling with motif…
On the Dead of World History
The Clerk of the Foresters Records
This study attempts to examine the work of John Berger in the light of recent debates on Marxism and historical writing, arguing that, with the new challenges of an anti-realist historiography, the intellectual's task of rendering visible the experience of the past is central to any form of historical practice. The paper is concerned with four aspects of Berger's work. Firstly, with his notion of photography as documentation. Secondly, with the d…
