The expression “political ecology” was, it seems, first used in 1935 by Frank Thone in a Science News article entitled “Nature Rambling: We Fight for Grass” and was revived in the 1970s by American anthropologist Eric Robert Wolf. In 1970s Europe, “political ecology”, along with the evolution...","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88849188","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}

Clément","doi":"10.4000/LISA.13109","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/LISA.13109","url":null,"abstract":"In Middle England (2018), novelist Jonathan Coe revisits some events of Britain’s recent past in order to highlight, in fictional form, some potential reasons for the Brexit vote and to illustrate the widening political divides among the population. Among other factors, Coe’s satire draws our attention to contemporary representations of Britishness in media and popular culture, for instance in the London 2012 Olympic games’ opening ceremony, with its quite stereotypical, anglocentric portrayal of national identity. Such depictions appear closer to the outdated mythical tropes of “Deep England” than to the complexities of contemporary Britishness and might have helped fuel Eurosceptic rhetoric and influenced conservative English voters’ beliefs in the run-up to the 2016 EU membership referendum.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78398746","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}

Six photographic projects raising critical questions about Britain’s exit from the European Union (2016-2020)","authors":"Mathilde Bertrand","doi":"10.4000/LISA.13184","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4000/LISA.13184","url":null,"abstract":"Based on a selection of photographic projects produced between 2016 and 2020, this article examines the way British and non-British professional photographers have responded to the question of Britain’s exit from the European Union. Each of the six projects sheds light on and problematises different social, economic and ideological stakes raised by Brexit, at different moments of a political process started in 2016. Questions that concern artists’ political commitment, the role of the media and the uses of political communication during this troubled period, the fate of European residents, or the invisibilisation of regions most affected by poverty and austerity policies are some of the issues explored in the photographic projects that compose the corpus of this article. Echoes and correspondences between them help paint the portrait of a divided United Kingdom while reasserting strongly the values of inclusion, tolerance and diversity that have been damaged in this difficult period.","PeriodicalId":41099,"journal":{"name":"Revue LISA-LISA E-Journal","volume":"182 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2021-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80294557","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}
