The Politics of Preference

ABSTRACT

This article explores relationships between masculinity and welfare in post-First World War Britain through an analysis of unemployment relief. While their service to the nation entitled them to government benefits, veterans of the First World War fit into a context of already-existing unemployment relief schemes and already-established assumptions about who was deserving of state assistance, which privileged married men with children. The politics of preference surrounding unemployment relief reveal competing principles of deservedness connected to different models of masculinity, the breadwinner and the soldier, the married man and the single man. There was general agreement that ex-servicemen had a significant call on the state's resources, but manhood above all meant the ability to provide for wives and children, which resulted in the marginalization of the claims of single men and the endangering of the principle of universal entitlement for ex-soldiers.     

Conceit and Capacities of the Vulgar Sort: The Social History of English as a Language of Politics

The growth of England from Norman-Angevin colony to imperial power began with the social development of a national community that conducted its arguments in English. In this sense vernacularization was the constituting process of English history. This article connects the history of language to constitutional history, and affirms recent calls for an approach that transcends conventional boundaries between late medieval and early modern periods, and between intellectual, cultural, social, demographic, economic, political and constitutional histories. Vernacularization is seen as a movement from below. It is linked in various ways to traditions and customs of resistance and rebellion that are seen as having shaped the history of England from the thirteenth century to 1649.     

人活天地中作爲藝與政的養生之道

中國有着悠久的養生傳統,包含極爲豐富的經驗操作與理論探索,彌布於歷史文化長河之中,蔚爲大宗,綿延不绝.當前養生文化掀起新的熱潮,既不乏傳統養生資源的多方採掘和殊向詮釋,又廣泛结合現代醫藥保健、心靈診療、科學鍛煉的知識與技術,以身體照料和生命認知爲關注焦點,充分滲透到日常生活的方方面面.本文的關注域,主要是養生現象蘊涵着的意味和牽引着的路向.對於生命康壽、生活美滿的特别在乎,其中體現出來的文化意向,應該得到貼合實情的闡明;這樣的生命傾向與文化意向所受到的質疑,亦會給予有益的回應;進而要審視當前情勢下養生意願與身體消費的合流,加以辨析并有所撥正.     

The Cultural Politics of Horror Film Criticism

This article examines film criticism as a social practice. Specifically, it explores the institutional politics of horror film criticism and the various ways critics of the genre justify their own readings and interpretive discourse. It does so by way of positing a horror film “reading formation,” which serves a critical-institutional function within the film academy, namely, securing academic legitimacy for the genre while shoring up cultural and political distinctions specific to elite modes of analysis. Accordingly, the article argues that three intertextual mechanisms (canonical recycling, political auteurism, and symptomatic interpretation) both condition the appropriation of horror film texts as legitimate objects-to-be-read and work to sustain discursive power relations between scholastically credentialed and “nonexpert” reading subjects.
