New Diary of Events Listing

To Saturday 9 June. Errol John’s Moon on a Rainbow Shawl.  Cottesloe Theatre, National Theatre. South Bank, Waterloo. www.nationaltheatre.org.uk. Errol John’s play was originally produced for BBC Radio as Small Island Moon in 1958, and later that year it was staged at the Royal Court Theatre in London. For the teeming populace of Old Mack’s cacophonous yard in Port of Spain, Trinidad, it’s a cheek by jowl existence lived out on a sweltering public stage. Snatches of calypso compete with hymn tunes, drums and street cries as neighbours drink, brawl, pass judgment, make love, look out for each other and crave a better life. But Ephraim is no dreamer and nothing, not even the seductive Rosa, is going to stop him escaping his dead-end job for a fresh start in England. Set as returning troops from the Second World War fill the town with their raucous celebrations, the play depicts a vibrant, cosmopolitan world that is as harsh as it is filled with colour and warmth. Errol John was born in Trinidad in 1924 and settled in Britain in 1951 where he worked as an actor and dramatist until his death in 1988. Stephen Bourne dedicated a chapter to Errol in his book Black in the British Frame – The Black Experience in British Film and Television (Contiunuum, 2001).

Tuesday 10 April. 7pm. Wallsend’s New Owenites. Project talk by Nigel Todd. To mark the International Year of Co-operation Nigel explores whatever happened to the Owenites. After the end of the Owenite movement in the 1840s, those who were inspired by Robert Owen’s co-operative social philosophy became a loose ‘diaspora’. Tyneside was one place where Owenism still influenced local action and most of all at Wallsend, where Co-operators tried to shape their own community with its own school in the early 1870s.  Nigel is a former Regional Director of the WEA. He has been involved with the Co-operative Movement for many years.

Comment. In general the answer has to be NO. Reduces democracy; turns politics into personality; too much unaccountable power in the hands on one person.  If you look at London the answer has to be a NO. Ken sold out to City interests, backed unwanted tower blocks making developers millions, failed to ensure Met Police accountable and prevent its corruption, backed Olympics which is distorting London, backed Cross Rail which benefits City travellers at expensive of improvements of ordinary Londoners, especially in S. London. Boris is no better.

Thursday 12 April. The Many Headed Hydra: Plebeians in the World c. 1660-1820. This conference explores the role of plebeians in the colonial and commercial expansion across the world from c.1660-1820. Inspired by the themes of Peter Linebaugh and Marcus Rediker’s The Many Headed Hydra (2000) the papers will explore the book’s central themes in the light of new research, as well as taking it into new areas. The role of seas and ships, armies and navies, and commercial interests in creating and regulating a mobile, multi-ethnic workforce will be explored. Research on traditions of popular protest and radical political and religious ideologies will also be presented. As well as the English-speaking Atlantic, there will be papers on French Canada, Brazil, the Middle East and the Cape Colony.  Keynote speakers: Marcus Rediker, Richard Drayton. Room 532, Birkbeck College, Malet Street, London , WC1. The conference is free to attend, but places are limited. Please email: manyheadedhydra.2012@gmail.com to reserve a place.

Saturday 14 April. Closing date for entry to Huddersfield Luddites200 Festival Poetry Competition.  ‘2012 is the 200th anniversary of the uprising by Luddite machine breakers, which inspired great poetry by Byron, Shelley and others. The defeat of the Luddites by thousands of soldiers led to two centuries of industrialism. It's ugliness and beauty, its wealth and its poverty have all been inspiration for truly brilliant pieces. Now we live in a world dominated by science and technology, but on the brink of environmental disaster. What do the Luddites and their mythical leader, General Ned Ludd mean to you? Luddites 200 is launching a poetry competition, with prizes to be awarded by Andy Croft at our festival in Huddersfield on April 28th/29th. Poems can be in any style, with a maximum length of 40 lines. Categories 1st Prize; Under 16 £40; Over 16 £40. There will be second and third prizes of books and/or merchandise, to be confirmed on the day. There is no entry fee, but we would appreciate donations to cover the costs of running our festival. This can be made by visiting luddites200blog.org.uk  and using the donate button on the right, or on the day. Poems, which should not previously have been published, should be sent to huddersfieldluddites200@gmail.com,  or by post to Luddites200 Organising Forum, c/o Flat 5 The Old Warehouse, Henry Street, Huddersfield, HD1 4AA.

Mark Knights (Warwick) will talk about corruption, a very contemporary concern in Britain and the wider world but also a pervasive anxiety in the seventeenth, eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Focusing on Britain and its colonies, the talk will explore why fears about corruption grew in the pre-modern period and identify some of the characteristics of what William Cobbett called 'the system' that was created by a growing state and the patronage at its disposal. Issues that are raised by this historical approach to a current problem include the definition of corrupt behaviour, the relationship between fiscal/political corruption and moral/sexual corruption, how to unmask or expose corruption and how to reform it.

Friday 20 April. Closing date for Call for Papers re-Sport and Other Leisure Industries. Guest Editors of Sport in History, Dion Georgiou and Ben Litherland, are calling for articles for a special edition examining the relationship between sport and other leisure and/or cultural industries. The study of sports history has become somewhat ghettoised from other aspects of leisure history.  Less attention has been devoted to the wider commercial configurations that have promoted sport's appropriation by, and of, other leisure and cultural forms.  They are keen to receive articles on the history of sport's relationship with culture and leisure industries, especially where these links have been hitherto relatively unexplored. For example, how has sport as a business compared to or interacted with publishing, the fairground, theatre, cinema, shopping for pleasure, music, etc? They welcome papers covering a diverse range of historical periods, including the recent past (providing they offer a suitably historical perspective), and geographical contexts, both British and non-British. If you are interested in contributing to this special edition, please send an abstract for your article (c. 300 words), and a brief biography, to diongeorgiou@hotmail.co.uk by Friday 20  April. Selected contributors essays in by summer 2013; special edition 2014.

New initiatives such as the English Baccalaureate have been introduced to help ensure that all students have an opportunity to study history at Key Stage 4, but will this work? What kind of History should be taught in British schools, and to whom? These issues will be discussed at the conference. Speakers include BASA activists Martin Spafford (George Mitchell School, Leyton) and John Siblon. Pre-registration will be required. A sandwich lunch will be provided. For further information about the conference, and to register for it, please email e.bennett@uel.ac.uk.
