Full textMy argument is that TVEI represents the most recent manifestation of a long history of educational policies that have systematically produced and ordered the social relations of class in an educational form. In this vein, I argue that the technical and vocational curriculum can be seen as an integral site within the English educational State for the production and formation of class relations within schooling. TVEI, I assert, was central to such a process through its capacity to concert and co-ordinate the social relations and practices of secondary schooling around the concept of enterprise, which acted as an organising device for management/administration, teaching, learning, and most crucially, the formation of individual subjectivities. Understood this way, we can see how TVEI effected reforms that contributed to the formation of clusters of social relations that produced class in new ways.
I show how this process emerged under TVEI through my ethnographic studies of enterprise, school-based management, business studies, and assessment. What each study reveals is how TVEI worked to effect a generalised shift in the culture of schooling away from the post-war social democratic politics of education, to that of a 'managed market' and enterprise culture. In this respect, I argue, TVEI prefigured many of the reforms that were to flow from the Education Reform Act (1988).

This thesis examines black music circulation in the urban spaces of London and Paris. It shows the complexity of the evolutionary processes of black musical genres, which occurred during the late imperial period (1920s-1950s) within the urban music scenes of two imperial metropolises, and how they played an important role on the entertainment circuit. Both cities functioned as sites of crossfertilisation for genres of music that were co-produced in a circulation between empires and Europe. Musicians of various origins met in the urban spaces of the two cities. The convergence and intermingling of musical cultures that musicians had brought with them produced new sounds. This process was influenced by a minority group (blacks), but had a significant and lasting influence on the musical world. By creating an historical account of the encounters and exchanges between people of different origins within the music scenes, this thesis examines music development and the complexity of processes of racialisation according to their historical locality and meaning. Using a variety of sources including police reports, government documents, interviews, guidebooks and newspapers, this work contributes to widen the perspective of historical studies on music developments, emphasising their social and spatial dimensions, which are fundamental for the exploration of music scenes, in general, and for the spread of black genres of music in particular. Black music styles spread internationally, but were produced in several specific locations where music industry infrastructure was developing. In the urban spaces of the music scenes of London and Paris social networks were formed by various actors - both blacks and whites - and were crucial for music production and reception; different perceptions of blackness, processes of competition, and debates on authenticity emerged; and processes of regulation and negotiation underpinned the intervention of public authorities.

Awarded the Linz-Rokkan Thesis Prize in Political Sociology at the European University Institute conferring ceremony on 9 June 2017
In this thesis, I ask about the political determinants of educational inequalities, and posit that as school quality differs, the competition for school places poses a problem to the social right of equal educational opportunities at the compulsory education level. What are the policy options to equalise access to quality education? When are these reformed? These questions motivated the design of a typology of Student Sorting Institutions with which we can meaningfully compare formal institutional arrangements that interfere in the competition for quality school places. A critical review of sociology of stratification and economics of education literature suggests classifying Student Sorting Institutions along two dimensions: whether they grant school choice to parents, and whether the allocation process permits academic selection. Building on recent insights of the field of political economy of education, the thesis explains institutional reform with an interest-based approach. Policymakers encounter a trilemma between high choice, low selection and enhancing school quality in disadvantaged neighbourhoods: the high choice/low selection option of regulating school choice particularly benefits students that want to opt out of disadvantaged neighbourhood schools, hence risking increasing segregation of such schools. The winners of each institutional arrangement vary according to income and education. How the trilemma is solved depends on parties in government who cater to their electorates' interests. These then change with educational expansion. The high political cost and uncertain benefit structure of such institutions favour the status quo. With the use of new insights in the methodology of process tracing, I show that the theory empirically accounts for variation of reform trajectories in France, Sweden, and the UK (England for school policy) from the 1980s to the 2000s. In contrast, I argue that my findings shed doubt on the explanatory role of neoliberal ideas and path-dependent feedback effects to account for these reform trajectories.

The aims of this research are to explore the role of emotions in social movements, specifically the dynamic properties of emotions and the various ways in which they can provoke, sustain, or end activism. The case studies involved animal rights and welfare groups in the UK and US. The concept of emotions is one which has come to the fore in recent years as part of the 'cultural turn,’ but it still suffers from unclear definitions and the remnants of stigma. In this thesis I propose to study emotions by focusing on their role as activators, part of protestors agency and intrinsically linked to their thoughts and actions. To do so I look at the 'life cycle’ of activism and the various roles played by the difference emotions inherent in each stage growing interest, finding likeminded others, joining a group, the process of bonding, the establishment of ties, then the eventual dissolution or constant reaffirmation of identification as an activist. By exploring the part played by emotions in these various stages, we can better understand the motivations and experience of those involved, in order to broaden our understanding of social movement participation more widely.

Il piccolo regno di Sarawak, nella parte settentrionale dell’isola del Borneo, occupa un posto del tutto speciale nell’immaginario esotico Vittoriano. Grazie alla sua posizione geografica, alla ricchezza naturalistica, alla complessità etnica, ma soprattutto all’originale modello di amministrazione coloniale introdotto da James Brooke, fondatore di una dinastia di “Rajah bianchi” che regna sul paese per oltre un secolo (James Brooke 1842-1868 suo nipote Charles 1868-1917 il figlio di quest’ultimo, Vyner 1917-1946), questa regione viene percepita nella cultura europea del tempo come una sorta di “utopia tropicalista” all’interno dell’Impero. Questo mito coloniale si nutre di una ricca produzione di scritti, racconti di viaggio, articoli e pubblicazioni scientifiche e viene celebrato dalla narrative d’avventura (Joseph Conrad, Emilio Salgari, tra gli altri). Ma è soprattutto attraverso le immagini, illustrazioni di libri e riviste, album di fotografie, lantern slides, che esso penetra in profondità nell’immaginario popolare del periodo. Concentrandosi essenzialmente sulle fonti visive, questo lavoro persegue un duplice obiettivo. Da una parte, lo studio del corpus iconografico, composto in gran parte di disegni e incisioni, realizzato da viaggiatori, naturalisti, oltre che dagli stessi residenti, permette di isolare e rendere evidenti i processi attraverso i quali le immagini, nella loro produzione, ma ancora di più nella loro circolazione e consumo, concorrono a formare e fissare, una conoscenza condivisa e omogenea, anche se in gran parte immaginaria, di questo paradiso coloniale. Dall’altra, l’analisi approfondita di alcuni casi di studio, intesi come sguardi individuali che rimandano a tipologie differenti di osservatori (sguardo di genere, sguardo antropologico, sguardo coloniale), e in particolare delle immagini fotografiche da loro prodotte in un periodo di tempo relativamente ristretto (tra l’ultimo decennio dell’Ottocento e il primo del Novecento), consente di mettere in evidenza il contributo della fotografia in questo processo di costruzione dell’immaginario; in che modo cioè la nuova tecnica si sovrappone ai precedenti mezzi di rappresentazione, con quali resistenze, adattamenti e stratificazioni. A dispetto della presunta “oggettività” per la quale la fotografia viene preferita, le immagini della ranée Margaret Brooke, dell’antropologo AC. Haddon, o dell’amministratore coloniale Charles Hose, mettono in primo piano la questione della soggettività e della ambiguità della visione, costringendo gli autori, e i destinatari della immagini a mettere a punto specifiche strategie di normalizzazione.
