As Jonathan Dollimore, one of the originators of cultural materialism, notes, ‘the politically committed person looks forward – is committed to a better future. In other words he or she is progressive whereas nostalgia is regressive’. Nonetheless, for cultural materialists the past does have value, and has often been shown by them to offer a radical corrective to the simplistic celebration of previous eras – and our own – peddled by reactionary thinkers. By contrast, cultural materialism is multi-faceted: it is engaged with the past, but informed by the present and committed to the future. Its task is to combine theory, politics, close reading, and an analysis of the contexts within which texts are produced and received in order to generate new interpretations of Shakespeare. \u0000 \u0000But if nostalgia is dangerous, what value can there be in returning to the theoretical ‘big bang’ of the 1980s in yet another attempt to ‘Make Cultural Materialism Great Again’? One answer lies in the subtitle of the final book written by Alan Sinfield, the other originator of the approach: there is ‘unfinished business in cultural materialism’. So while in this essay I will discuss the central tenets of cultural materialism, I will also show why it is not, in fact, something that needs to be revived. For cultural materialism is ongoing – it has always been an ‘evolving project’.","PeriodicalId":264807,"journal":{"name":"The Arden Research Handbook of Contemporary Shakespeare Criticism","volume":"331 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114963905","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We begin by examining clashes within London scholarly societies over the question of racial differentiation in the nineteenth century. We then determine how the British deployed these \"scientific\" theories of race in the colonies: Did they inform relations between colonized and settler populations, or did the local states innovate novel race-based policies to undergird their rule? Key topics include acts of resistance to prejudicial racialization, post-Emancipation labor systems, miscegenation, colonial classification schemes, public health controls, and fears of European degeneration in tropical climates. We will use primary sources (anthropological public speeches, fictional works) to critique the British narrative of a \"civilizing mission\" and to investigate how an array of actors used race as an instrument to accomplish specific objectives. and in what does and belonging? follows the history race and national formation in the region, from the wake of the independence movements of the early nineteenth century to the present. It draws on historical, anthropological, sociological, artistic, and literary approaches to identifying, analyzing, and interpreting the varied meanings of race and nation throughout the region. We will discuss changing notions of race over time and their relationship to contemporaneous social theories; we will analyze notions of citizenship, equality, and race both in ideas and in practice; and we will examine the intersection of racial formation and gender and sexual politics. some of the key concerns at the intersection of gender studies and urban studies. In this course, we will take gender relations and sexuality as our primary concern and as a constitutive aspect of social relations that vitally shape cities and urban life. We will examine how gender is inscribed in city landscapes, how it is lived and embodied in relation to race, class, and sexuality, and how it is (re)produced through violence, inequality, and resistance. Over the course of the quarter, we will draw on an interdisciplinary scholarship that approaches the central question of how and why thinking about urban life in relation to gender and sex matters. on the (North) West of the planet? What happens with the old presumed categories of \"West\" and \"East\" when the world is lived and conceived from other locations and perspectives?

Drawing on close observations and analysis of representative cultural productions, this course seeks to map the importance and diversity of these transpacific cultural itineraries and to explore alternative ways of thinking about \"Latin America\" as a central agent of our connected modernities. enhancing your knowledge of Latin American cultural history, this course is designed to help you improve your close reading and critica","PeriodicalId":264807,"journal":{"name":"The Arden Research Handbook of Contemporary Shakespeare Criticism","volume":"188 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125843409","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
