Abstract (sommario):

The Decent Rogues is the brainchild of two immensely talented and inventive young men, dan Lashbrook and rob Pratt. Written and composed in its entirety by this duo, The Decent Rogues is a new, original, quirky and witty musical set in the fictional village of horston Barrow in Edwardian England. It tells of the friendship between Percy Goldsmith and Bevan Bawden and of the double lives they lead – gentlemen and staunch pillars of their community on the one hand and devious, conniving crooks on the other.

Abstract (sommario):

About a decade after Waterloo, there arose in England a subgenre of fiction that can be called the military novel. George Robert Gleig is credited with originating the genre with a fictionalized autobiography entitled The Subaltern, which appeared serially in Blackwood's Magazine in 1825 and was subsequently published as a book. Military memoirs were appearing from soon after the end of the Napoleonic Wars, and the military novel was an outgrowth of that literature. Many of the authors of military novels had themselves served in the army, but the most notable of them all, Charles Lever, had not been a military man, though he consorted with officers often enough. Beginning with The Confessions of Harry Lorrequer, which was serialized first and then appeared as a single volume in 1839, Lever produced a string of popular novels about the army, with young officers as their heroes. The novels of this subgenre concentrated on officers, though there are amusing rankers, that is, enlisted soldiers, as well in Lever's novels likely to be clever Irishmen. For the most part, though, rankers are background figures and have largely stereotypical lower class ways. There are obligatory romance and inheritance plots in these narratives, with the hero usually ending up married and with an estate of his own, either through direct inheritance, or the discovery of a hitherto unknown fortune. This genre lasted about fifteen years, petering out by mid-century.

Abstract (sommario):

This study first examines the global youth crisis, symbolized by the term “Ikea Generation”, referring to young people in temporary employment who are easily used and discarded. It traces the origin of this phenomenon back to the works of the “Angry Young Men” in post-World War II Britain during the 1950s. This article compares it to contemporary South Korean youth culture. The study then analyzes three representative novels of the Angry Young Men generation: Kingsley Amis's Lucky Jim, John Braine's Room at the Top, and Alan Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning. After examining their contributions, the conclusion suggests Richard Hoggart's vision of the “cultured, political, and intellectual working-class minority” as a source of hope and alternative for the angry youth, as emphasized in his work The Use of Literacy. In particular, the conclusion highlights that just as the Red Brick universities in the UK helped eliminate the literacy gap among the working class and improved social mobility and growth, digital literacy can emerge as a new opportunity for social mobility among South Korean youth. The study emphasizes the need for national support and policy for this digital literacy for the Korean youth generation.

Abstract (sommario):

Black boys and young men are over-represented in the youth and adult justice systems in England and Wales. Despite the Lammy Review (2017) into the treatment of and outcomes for Black, Asian, and minority ethnic individuals (BAME) in the criminal justice system, the disproportionate numbers of Black boys and young men at all stages of the system continue to rise. There has been limited qualitative research of Black boys’ and young men’s experiences with the justice system in England and Wales. In particular, there is a lack of evidence on their experiences with sentencing and courts. What is known tends to focus on Black, Asian, and minority ethnic and/or Muslim men’s experiences more generally. A lack of critical understanding of the specific experiences of desistance by young Black men has been criticised in the literature. Set in this context, this review of UK literature focuses on the following questions: (1) What are Black boys’ and young Black men’s experiences with the youth and criminal justice systems in England and Wales? (2) What does research tell us specifically about their experiences with desistance?

Abstract (sommario):

BackgroundLow rates of suicide in older men and high rates in young women have been reported in the South Asian diaspora worldwide. Calculating such suicide rates in the UK is difficult because ethnicity is not recorded on death certificates.AimsTo calculate the South Asian origin population suicide rates and to assess changes over time using new technology.MethodSuicide rates in England and Wales were calculated using the South Asian Name and Group Recognition Algorithm (SANGRA) computer software.ResultsThe age-standardised suicide rate for men of South Asian origin was lower than other men in England and Wales, and the rate for women of South Asian origin was marginally raised. In aggregated data for 1999–2003 the age-specific suicide rate in young women of South Asian origin was lower than that for women in England and Wales. The suicide rate in those over 65 years was double that of England and Wales.ConclusionsOlder, rather than younger, women of South Asian origin seem to be an at-risk group. Further research should investigate the reasons for these changes and whether these patterns are true for all South Asian origin groups.

Abstract (sommario):

Feminist research methodologies have challenged power imbalances in qualitative interviews and gendered inequalities more broadly. We explore the methodological and ethical complexities of, and implications for, doing feminist research with young men. We draw on two studies in which narrative interviews with young men were conducted: one in 2014 and 2015 with 28 middle-class men between the ages of 20 and 31 living in Australia and Germany; and one a longitudinal study beginning in 2009 in the south-east of England with 24 working-class men between the ages of 18 and 24. We explore the production of narratives in interviews with young men, rapport-building, and interactional issues. Balancing generosity and critique emerges as a key ethical and methodological consideration for research conducted with young men. We suggest that negotiating the tensions of this balance can hold key possibilities for research and for proliferating alternative modes of masculinity.

Abstract (sommario):

50 women and 50 men in a town in the East of England were asked how they would have liked to have been remembered had they attended the university Women of both mature (37 to 41 years) and young ages (18 to 21 years) were more concerned about being remembered as popular than brilliant. A negligible number wished to be remembered as an athletic star. Men in young and mature groups were divided on the issues of brilliance, popularity, and athletic stars. The only statistically significant analysis concerned the differences between young men and women on the issues of brilliance and popularity. The results are discussed in relation to previous work on differences in attitudes amongst men and women in academic and nonacademic settings.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

In recent decades, male protagonists in Australian realist fiction for young adult readers have increasingly become more others-regarding, emotionally intelligent, and self-aware. (John Stephens 2000; Perry Nodelman 2002). Psychologist Roger Horrocks (1995) claims these protagonists are less “tendentious and more realistic” than male protagonists of the past. These boys, despite not bearing the hallmarks of hegemonic masculinity, develop subjective agency and ultimately propose new ways for young men to construct their gender identity. Using Phillip Gwynne’s (1998) Deadly Unna? and David Metzenthen’s (2000) Boys of Blood and Bone as case studies, and my own novel My Private Pectus as creative practice, I explore the construction and deconstruction of hegemonic, complicit, and alternative masculinities in Australian realist young adult fiction. I also analyse the construction of the New Age Boy—a label used by John Stephens for young male protagonists who develop positive self esteem because of their perceived gender differences compared to boys of the hegemonic masculine type. By critiquing the manner in which masculinities are constructed in each case study, and supporting my critique through the literature of leading gender theorists, I question the seemingly homogenous manner in which the New Age Boy gains agency. This question is further explored through my creative practice, as I put into dialogue a protagonist who also recognises his gender differences, but instead of proposing a new and better masculinity, he tries to adhere to and reap the rewards of hegemonic masculinity.

Abstract (sommario):

From the huge corpus of Orwell’s literary production, two aspects clearly emerge: together with a highly distinctive style, a wide range of examined subjects. The thesis, which is divided in five chapters, is concerned with one of the writer’s most burning interests: the constituent characters of English identity. After an introductory part, in which the process of formation of Englishness is briefly depicted, numerous Orwell’s writings are analysed in detail. In the second chapter, the attention is focused on education, whose unflattering description is contained in one of Orwell’s most virulent essays, ‘Such, such Were the Joys’, and on the English language, a matter which always had the uttermost importance for the writer, also for its political implications. In the following chapter, another fundamental element for the construction of English identity, the British Empire, is scrutinized through impressive Orwell’s books, such as Burmese Days and The Road to Wigan Pier. In those works, the author pointed out the effects of the despotic system of the empire on the English themselves. The fourth chapter is entirely dedicated to Orwell’s accurate analysis of a strong pillar of English identity, that is, social classes, while in the final part of the thesis, why Orwell and his works are still topical is explained.

Abstract (sommario):

Child imprisonment has a long history, one that predates the formal creation of juvenile justice. However, the continued use of prison establishments for children, known as young offender institutions (YOIs), remains a controversial issue. This thesis seeks to advance the debate regarding the abolition of child imprisonment by drawing on empirical research conducted in an English YOI accommodating teenage boys. In so doing, the thesis contributes to the established prison ethnographic literature by developing an understanding of the attitudes and lived experiences of child prisoners, a typically overlooked dimension of prison ethnography. The thesis critically analyses three key themes that emerged from the empirical research: surviving life inside; interpersonal victimisation; and, the nature of the staff-prisoner relationships and the use of power. It is argued that imprisonment is far from a neutral experience. The stark similarities between the lived experience of adult and child prisoners illustrate the futility of attempting to create a distinct secure estate for children whilst retaining the use of YOIs. The differences that do exist only serve to demonstrate the inappropriateness of detaining children in the prison environment. The recent fall in the youth custody population presents an opportunity to finally abolish child prisons.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

Kazimierz Dabrowski’s psychological theory of positive disintegration is a lesser known theory of personality development that offers an alternative critical perspective of literature. It provides a framework for the characterization of postmodern protagonists who move beyond heroic indoctrination to construct their own self-organized, autonomous identities. Ezra Pound’s The Cantos captures the speaker-poet’s extensive process of inner conflict, providing a unique opportunity to track the progress of the hero’s transformation into a personality, or a man. American Gods is a more fully realized portrayal of a character who undergoes the complete paradigmatic collapse of positive disintegration and deliberate self-derived self-revision in a more distilled linear fashion. Importantly, using a Dabrowskian lens to re-examine contemporary literature that has evolved to portray how the experience of psychopathology leads to metaphorical death—which may have any combination of negative or positive outcomes—has not only socio-cultural significance but important personal implications as well.

Carman, Luke. "Sons of shame : deconstructing white male subjectivity in Greater Western Sydney". Thesis, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/1959.7/uws:37524.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

This thesis is composed of a creative component, a collection of short stories and monologues entitled An Elegant Young Man, which is a fictional evocation of twenty-first century life as seen by an awkward and uncertain young man from the provinces of Sydney’s western suburbia; and an exegesis examining the role of shame in constructs of white male subjectivity through the literary theories of Bob Hodge and Vijay Mishra, and the writings of contemporary Australian author Brendan Cowell. An Elegant Young Man is set in and around Sydney’s western suburbs, with particular emphasis on the area of south-west Sydney surrounding Liverpool. The narrator, a young man named Luke Francis Carman, is intended as an ambiguous configuration: bursting with ecstatic exuberance on the one hand, painfully self-conscious and shamefaced on the other – an introverted bookworm who dabbles in the theatre of professional wrestling. In this and other respects he might be seen as a reflection of the schizoid nature of Australian white male subjectivity set out in the literary theories of Hodge and Mishra in Dark Side of the Dream and explored in this exegesis. Contributing to this character portrayal is the influence of western Sydney itself, a place in which the incoherencies of the colonial past are intensified by its literary and cultural distance from the metropolitan centre. Another dimension of the narrator’s character is his writing style and particular way of seeing things, which is a consequence of his reading life. Luke Francis Carman’s explicit literary influences are largely American writers – Kerouac, Ginsberg, Whitman and Hemingway. These white male writers offer the narrator an idealised, bold, unabashed openness to the possibilities of a subjectivity that can incorporate even the mortification of shame – an affect which Luke feels is ever present in his own self-consciousness, and in his attempts at interacting with those around him. The exegetical component of this thesis argues that if Bob Hodge and Vijay Mishra were correct when they proposed that Australian culture should be seen as a schizophrenic psyche of repressed and explicit silences constructed against the guilt and rootlessness of colonial illegitimacy, then the writer Brendan Cowell is both the predictable and necessary result. Representing the cowed, tamed, domesticated, artistic counterpart of the ‘Aussie’ Australian – white, terse, vulgar, masculine, sexually potent – the figure of Cowell is a confessional one, offering pseudo-privileged access to the operations of shame and shamelessness in the mythical ‘Aussie’ male. The exegesis explores this complex in Cowell’s work – with particular emphasis on his 2010 novel How It Feels – through the lens of shame as developed by affect studies and postcolonial theory, to argue that Hodge and Mishra’s analysis still applies to a culture that has changed considerably since the publication of Dark Side of the Dream, and to offer a more nuanced understanding of the white male Australian subject as he stands in this young and uncertain century.

Testo completo

Abstract (sommario):

In May Sinclair’s fiction, images of sacrifice abound. From the self-abnegating Katherine Haviland in Audrey Craven (1897) to the eponymous antiheroine of The Life and Death of Harriett Frean (1922), Sinclair’s central characters seem to be eternally struggling with the issue of renunciation. The treatment of the theme is heterogeneous in many of Sinclair’s texts, not least in the novel The Tree of Heaven, which both condemns and praises personal sacrifice for a higher or communal purpose. This displays a fundamental insecurity about the nature, function and value of sacrifice. It is this ambivalence, which underlies so much of Sinclair’s fiction, in combination with the individual mixture of philosophies in her work, that will be explored here. This chapter investigates the concept of sacrifice in the war novel The Tree of Heaven and how it is connected to community and feminism. In order to find an understanding of sacrifice as proposed by Sinclair, and its meaning in the lives of both women and men in the context of early 20^th century England, the chapter discusses the crossroads in the text between sacrifice, idealism, feminism, and the nation-wide feeling of community that appears to be required in wartime.

Abstract (sommario):

This chapter explores the first set of texts associated with the entailed metaphor HISTORY AS PALIMPSEST through the key narrative of Rudyard Kipling’s Puck of Pook’s Hill (1906), which makes salient a genealogy of works for both children and adults that imagine England’s history proceeding through a series of invasions and the loss and recovery of memory of invasion. Because several of the treatments address both adults and children, the chapter examines three adult fantasies derived from Puck—Joseph O’Neill’s Land Under England (1935), Warwick Deeping’s The Man Who Went Back (1940), and C. S. Lewis’s That Hideous Strength (1945)—before moving on to four novels for children/young adults that are connected both to Puck and to its adult interwar/wartime successors: Susan Cooper’s The Dark Is Rising (1973) and Silver on the Tree (1977), Joan Aiken’s The Shadow Guests (1980), and Philip Turner’s Sea Peril (1968). Because the metaphor of the palimpsest emphasizes that the individual’s occupation of time and space is temporary, the dominant affect in all instances is nostalgia and melancholy. Nonetheless, invasion is a complex image that suggests that loss of sovereignty is not necessarily bad or injurious to the nation (or the child reader). Rather, the invasion trope offers a view of the experience of the nation that mirrors the complex layers of the individual psyche, and narratives activating the palimpsest metaphor prize and rehearse individual agency on the part of protagonists.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract As ideas of cultural identity in Britain solidified between the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, Romantic-period narratives of the nation’s literary heritage confronted and accommodated a long history of contacts and exchanges with neighbouring traditions. This chapter addresses this process of cultural self-construction by exploring how Romantic nonfiction prose engaged with Europe as a literary–cultural continuum and assessed the place of England and Britain within it. Exploring selected literary works—including Thomas Warton’s History of English Poetry (1774–1781), John Dunlop’s History of Fiction (1814), Walter Scott’s essays on chivalry, drama, and romance for the Encyclopaedia Britannica (1818–1824), William Hazlitt’s lectures and critical essays (1817–1820), and Thomas De Quincey’s ‘Letters to a Young Man Whose Education Has Been Neglected’ (1823)—this chapter reappraises how nonfiction prose contributed to the emergence of a Romantic discourse on the nation’s literary–cultural history and identity, its current condition, and possible developments within the encompassing context of Europe.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract Writing About Female vagrants and women’s networks might be described as an exercise in futility. The very term “female vagrant” evokes Wordsworth’s solitary wanderer, and perhaps the equally lonely career of Tess Durbeyfield, her descendant in the Victorian novel. The reflex of historicization, that is, looking to the research of early modern social and cultural historians to help us “get behind” Enlightenment and nineteenth-century constructions of gender and other social categories, initially offers no better hope for discussion of networks of female vagrants. Quantitative research on migrancy (including vagrancy) in early modern England informs us that networking among vagrants of either sex was a literary myth developed in the popular and wholly fictional genre of the rogue pamphlet. Furthermore, these statistical surveys suggest that women did not constitute an important part of the vagrant population; the surveys’ interpretive conclusions understandably concentrate on the dominant statistical profile of the single, young adult male laborer or servant, within fifty miles of his parish of origin, and travelling alone.1 Neither does the proscribed vision of a vagrant antisociety in the rogue pamphlets provide any framework for imagining women’s networks, depicting women largely in alliances with men.2 Even a recent feminist revision emphasizes the marginality of the female vagrant, comparing her to that great early-modern icon of the exceptional woman, Elizabeth I (Amussen, 1994).

In his essay on ‘French Comic Romances’ he distinguishes between two types of comic tale: that in which the characters are individuals and the events such as happen in real life, and that ‘in which the characters are abstractions or embodied classifications, and the implied or embodied opinions [are] the main matter of the work’. & it happens the two types are illustrated by two books that appeared in the year 1818, Northanger Abbey and Nightmare Abbey. They have a good deal in common. In each an author whose attitude is conservative and ‘eighteenth-century’ satirizes the excesses of modern literature as exemplified in the work of Mrs. Radcliffe and the ‘German’ drama of the day. In each life in an Abbey turns out to be much like life anywhere else. When Mr. Glowry in Nightmare Abbey tells Scythrop that his behaviour might ‘do very well in a German tragedy … but it will not do in Lincolnshire’ we are reminded of Catherine Morland’s discovery that it is not in the work of Mrs. Radcliffe and her followers that ‘human nature, at least in the midland counties of England, was to be looked for’. In Jane Austen’s book a young woman discovers the difference between life in books and life in fact: in Peacock’s a young man makes the same discovery. But there is a great difference between the two. In Northanger Abbey the characters are individuals, whereas in Nightmare Abbey the characters are abstractions and it is their opinions which form ‘the main matter of the work’. Unlike Jane Austen, Peacock is more interested in ideas than in people: his concern is not with what his characters do, but with what they say. He is the great satiric commentator on the age which we are considering, the Aristophanes of the period of which Hazlitt wrote, at the beginning of his essay on Coleridge: ‘The present is an age of talkers, and not of doers; and the reason is, that the world is growing old’.

Abstract (sommario):

Abstract The England experiment shows men and women candidates to be evaluated equivalently for different levels of posts, ability to win votes, and most masculine policy areas. However, regarding ability to be an MP, whenever the candidate is from the participant’s preferred party, participants more favorably evaluate the woman, and when the candidate is from the party they oppose, they give more favorable evaluations to the man. A party effect is consistently found in the England experiment, and participants give significantly more favorable evaluations to the candidate from their preferred party. In addition, more favorable evaluations of parties map onto party issue ownership. Acceptance of women as leaders by English young adults may be influenced by England’s experience with two women Prime Ministers, even though gender inequality persists throughout UK politics.
