SummaryFrom the 1950s to the 1970s, the study of English popular protest was dominated by the work of Eric Hobsbawm, George Rudé, and Edward Thompson, and it is no exaggeration to suggest that their combined approach became the standard against which all subsequent work was judged. It was seminal, innovative and crucial to the emergence of a new “history from below”. But it was, to a degree, also formulaic: it relied on a trusted framework that historians have since struggled to deviate from. Through a detailed investigation of a set of disturbances in Berkshire, England during the so-called “Swing riots”, this essay seeks to demonstrate that a continued reliance on this model can be seen to have stifled a more nuanced understanding of particular “moments” of protest in the locality, and in doing so it places a much greater emphasis on local social – and in particular, parochial – relations than has previously been the case. In sum, within the context of late-Hanoverian popular protest, this essay is a plea for a new “history from within” to supplement the (now venerable) tradition of “history from below”.

The importance of international exports for Arkansas' economy was recognized belatedly in the state; so, even though momentum was actually built in the 1950s, little additional progress was achieved until the late 1970s. This paper examines both the practical and structural conditions that have impeded the growth of Arkansas' exports and then reviews the progress that has been made in overcoming these obstacles. Contributions from the public and private sectors are considered, as well as problems of coordinating state and federal efforts in order to assist both the manufacturing and agricultural interests of the state.

The general patterns established during the period 1922–67 regarding the political and administrative arrangements relating to the Irish education system began to break down after following the introduction of free second-level education in 1967 and a subsequent great increase in attendance at second-level schools. In 1965, The OECD-sponsored Investment in Education report contributed greatly to portraying the economic, social, and geographic inequalities of opportunity in Ireland at the time. In particular, it drew attention to the fact that one-third of all children left full-time education upon completion of primary schooling and only 59 per cent of all 15-year-old children were in school. What was less clear in the public mind at the time was that levels of provision had been even bleaker on the establishment of the State and had not changed substantially over the succeeding four decades. That reality constitutes the background to considerations in this chapter. It opens by elaborating on the various types of primary, second-level, and continuation schools that existed across the nation. The overall patterns of access to and attendance at secondary school are then detailed. A very general exposition of the economic and social conditions in the country that influenced the existence of these patterns follows.

The 1950S

By the late 1870s, Kentucky legislators recognized that the system of reporting developed by the nominative reporters had become so regularized that it could be absorbed into the (still undersized) machinery of state government. In 1878 a new law was passed that put the printing of reports in the hands of the public printer and retained copyright for the state. The existing nominative reports (including the much criticized Sneed’s Decisions and Thomas B. Monroe’s legally questionable second volume) were renumbered volumes 1–77 of the new Kentucky Reports. They soon faced an aggressive national competitor, West’s South Western Reporter, established in 1886. By the 1950s, the South Western Reporter had become so preferred that the state discontinued the official Kentucky Reports. Today, the Westlaw Next database contains all Kentucky case law from Hughes through the South Western Reporter.

The aim of this chapter is to examine how modern daily life is imagined and transmitted to the audience by the products of the popular culture in the 1950s through the repertory of the state theater and how this reflects the tendencies of the time. This study is based on the argument that the imagination of the modern daily life in the 1950s is not a simple continuation of the early republican period's way of defining the modern daily life on the basis of public life solely. Modern daily life in the 1950s is set both on the public life and the private life. Also, it relies on the adversity of the lifestyle, religion, emancipation, and universalism and civilization in the context of public life, complemented by the corruption of the family, the changing role of the man and the changing role of the woman.

History Of

When the present Society of Antiquaries of London determined on printing from time to time communications which were made to them, in a series of volumes to be entitled Archæologia, they determined also that there should be prefixed to that work an Introduction, in which should be given a history of their own foundation, and of the attempts which had been previously made to collect the lovers of history and antiquities in associations for the prosecution of their inquiries, and for mutual assistance in their studies. It is not necessary to inquire to whom they committed the task of preparing this Introduction. It is done perhaps as well as the state of the knowledge of the literary history of the country at that period allowed. But when looked at from times when the public mind is not so easily satisfied to remain in ignorance of the minute facts in the history of great undertakings, it cannot, I fear, but be regarded as imperfect and unsatisfactory.

Este trabalho pretende compreender como os media mobilizam discursos sobre os adolescentes em conflito com a lei e de que maneira a competição entre esses discursos na esfera de visibilidade midiática contribui para a formação de opiniões públicas sobre a redução da maioridade penal. Focamos a análise nos principais jornais diários do estado do Pará, onde, de acordo com o Mapa da Violência, os índices de violência têm crescido de modo exponencial. Como fundamentação teórica, partimos da ideia do caráter sistêmico dos media (MAIA, 2012) e do conceito discursivo de debate público (DRYZEK, 2004; MENDONÇA, 2010). Para realização da pesquisa, coletamos 426 matérias que abordavam atos infracionais publicadas entre de abril a setembro de 2012 nos jornais O Liberal e Diário do Pará e realizamos análise de conteúdo e dos discursos sobre adolescentes infratores. Os resultados apontam que adoção de uma perspectiva sistêmica dos media complexifica o processo analítico, afastando-o de perspectivas notadamente sensacionalistas, e permite a compreensão nuançada dos modos pelos quais os media investigados participam do debate público sobre a redução da maioridade penal. ----- This work aims to understand how the media mobilize discourses on adolescents in conflict with the law and how the competition between these discourses in the media sphere of visibility contributes to the formation of public opinions on the reduction of criminal age. We focus the analysis in the major daily newspapers in the state of Pará, where, according to the Map of Violence, violence rates have grown exponentially. As theoretical foundation, we start from the idea of the systemic character of the media (MAIA, 2012) and of the discursive concept of public debate (DRYZEK, 2004; MENDONÇA, 2010). To conduct the investigation, we collected 426 media materials published between April to September 2012 in the newspapers O Liberal and Diário do Pará and performed content and discourses analysis. The results show that adoption of a systemic perspective of the media improve the analytical process, especially rejecting sensationalist perspectives, and allows nuanced understanding of the ways in which the media participate in the public debate the reduction of criminal age.

The 1950S

This chapter focuses on poetry anthologies published in the 1950s and 1960s. Robert Conquest's 1956 Macmillan anthology New Lines was responsible for consolidating the arguments and personnel of the Movement in the public mind. This was achieved through his clear taste and agenda, New Lines' limited personnel of just nine poets, and the generous selections from the poets' work it contained. Another anthology published in the same year was G. S. Fraser's Poetry Now, where no less than 74 poets are represented. The contents list reveals that Fraser was acquainted with the work of many poets from all sides of the poetry world, while the introduction reveals him to be well informed on recent poetic trends. Penguin, the biggest British publisher at that time, also drew up a scheme for new poetry anthologies: a new edition of Kenneth Allott's Contemporary Verse; Poetry since the War, a book suggested by [C. B.] Cox and [A. E.] Dyson of the Critical Quarterly; and An Anthology of Twentieth Century Lyrics with an emphasis on the Georgian style and its inheritors to be edited by one John Smith.
