This essay traces the rapid agitated reception of Peterloo in Scotland, especially in the lowland west among the skilled working class. It also looks at the responses of Scottish Tory writers, in the reactionary mindsets of Walter Scott and William Motherwell and in the more nuanced treatment by John Galt. The emotion and wider political issues surrounding the release of Henry Hunt from jail are particularly focused upon via the proceedings of a convivial meeting at the Saracen Head inn in Paisley in 1822. As part of the detail of the network of Scottish public response to Peterloo, other events including especially the so-called 'Radical War' in Scotland of 1820 and its subsequent commemoration are sketched.

Present political climate and an increase in visibility and voice for Indigenous people are being leveraged to attract attention to dire social, environmental, and political issues. However, we need a more unified, organized, and coordinated policy platform, strategy, and public response. NDN Collective, an all Indigenous-led and staffed organization devoted to building Indigenous self-determination and power across Turtle Island, provides cohesion through a strong meta narrative of its Land Back campaign and an ecosystem of resources for Native Nations and peoples built around its three pillars: Defend, Develop, and Decolonize. This article shares a brief history of colonization and the lasting impacts of the American Indian Movement of the 1960s and what is needed from Indigenous leadership today. In recognizing that the collective liberation of Indigenous people is bound together with those of other Black and brown relatives, this article also explores our shared history with Black Americans and the success of the Black Lives Matter movement.

In recent days, the public often uses social media such as Twitter for delivering critics; appreciation and campaign related to Government and political issues. The existence of Twitter is changing human behavior rapidly. This study aims to identify Twitter as a medium to generate public opinion concerning two political issues, the 7th Indonesian President first 100 days and public response towards his strategic plan, Nawacita. Method applied in this study is a combination of contemporary research instruments that combines technology and psychology. In this study, the authors examined conversation on Twitter by using Tracker and Algoritma Kata (AK, words algorithm). Tracker is used to collecting conversation on twitter regarding Jokowi’s first 100 days and Nawacita, whereas AK is applied to identify valence and arousal in each tweet collected by Tracker. The finding shows the domination of positive tweets in every week. However, there is a moment where the number of positive tweets was close to negative tweets. In Nawacita issue, law reformation and enforcement was the issue that has highest negative sentiment among others.

Late-Romantic writers were explicitly engaged with the marketplace, and this involvement shows itself in the themes and genres of their work. Literature of the 1820s, in particular, responds to the distressing economic events of that decade, which experienced a cycle of rampant speculation followed by a stock-market crash in 1825–6. This article examines allegories and analyses of speculation in texts by Byron, John Galt, Walter Scott, and Willibald Alexis, together with the Poyais scandal, a notorious example of real-world financial speculation. Combining fact and fiction, these rapidly written texts are early examples of ‘speculative fiction’ that illustrate the dynamics of speculation as a self-perpetuating performance that is sustained by belief and vulnerable to contingency.

The Third Person

The writing produced by adult literacy students emerged out of a distinct educational and cultural setting. Student writing itself represented a significant example of learning. The writing itself tended to be simple and clear representations of working class life and voices. The experience of ‘failure’ in education was a powerful one that formed the basis for personal expression. Experience was seen to put the student in control. Political issues and writing beyond the third person were also encouraged, with mixed results. In the changed context of the 1990s, new stories based on humorous episodes helped to represent students as normal rather than oppressed. Yet social justice continued to inflect the writing and there were attempts to move students into the wider network of writing groups.

A pandemia provocada pela CoVid-19 tem se expandido e levado à uma grave crise mundial. A partir do contexto brasileiro, este ensaio objetiva reunir, sob a perspectiva da terapia ocupacional social, reflexões sobre essa pandemia com foco nas questões socioeconômicas e políticas. Concluímos que os impactos dessa crise possuem a marca da desigualdade, uma vez que expõem a população mais pobre a maiores riscos de contaminação e à intensificação das vulnerabilidades sociais. O Estado brasileiro tem empreendido uma necropolítica, que pouco responde às demandas desses grupos populacionais e imputa à classe trabalhadora uma conta que é estrutural do capitalismo. AbstractThe pandemic caused by CoVid-19 has been expanding and leading to a serious global crisis. From the Brazilian context, this essay aims to gather, from the perspective of social occupational therapy, reflections on this pandemic with a focus on socioeconomic and political issues. We conclude that the impacts of this crisis have the mark of inequality, since it exposes the poorest population to greater risks of contamination and to the intensification of social vulnerabilities. The Brazilian State has undertaken a necropolitics, which produces few responses to the demands of these population groups and charges the working class with a bill that is structural of capitalism.Keywords: Pandemics, social inequality, occupational therapy.ResumenLa pandemia causada por CoVid-19 se ha expandido y ha llevado a una grave crisis mundial.
