There has always been a strong connection historically between aesthetics and radical politics, and this is no less true for the global justice movement’s current preoccupation with cultural approaches to political action. The essays collected here seek to engage with past and present convergences between the theories and practices of artists and writers and the theories and practices of movements for radical social change. There is already a massive amount of literature on Marxist approaches to aesthetics, art and literature, and whilst recognising the usefulness of such approaches, the essays collected here attempt to engage with culture from other radical critical positions - whether th...
On March 29, 1971, a Canadian was found brutally murdered in a small Paris apartment. The victim, François Mario Bachand, was a radical member of the separatist Front de Libération du Québec (FLQ), the terrorist group that had been causing havoc in Canada, planting bombs and carrying out kidnappings. Bachand served a jail term in the early 1960s, and after his release he was considered a loose cannon, heartily despised by many associates. It was widely believed that the FLQ had killed one of its own. Twenty years after Bachand died in Paris, author Michael McLoughlin came across a single document in the National Archives of Canada that shed an eerie new light on the circumstances of Bacha...
THE PRESIDENT'S PRIVATE EYE is the amazing story of one man's journey into history. From New York's Lower East Side to the White House this episodic memoir tells of the orbit traveled by Tony Ulasewicz, the Runyonesque ex-detective who retired from the NYPD to become President Nixon's private investigator, the first ever hired by a President of the United States. Tony "U" carried the badge of a New York City cop for twenty-seven years; twenty of those years as a detective with the Bureau of Special Service & Investigation (BOSSI), the intelligence unit of the NYPD which was known in Washington as the "little FBI" & the "little CIA." No other detective, real or imagined, has ever been involved, center stage or peripherally, in so many historical cases & coverups such as the kidnapping of Professor Jesus de Galindez of Columbia University who wrote a book condemning Dominican Dictator Rafael Trujillo; the conspiracy to blow up the Statue of Liberty by the Black Liberation Front; the effort of George Lincoln Rockwell & his American Nazi Party to march on New York & finally, Chappaquiddick & Watergate, the bookends of Tony's career as President Nixon's private eye.
Focusing on the major movements and personalities of the time, as well as the lasting influence of the period, Canada's 1960s examines the legacy of this rebellious decade's impact on contemporary notions of Canadian identity.
This book charts the course of Scottish Critical Theory since the 1960s. It provocatively argues that 'French' critical-theoretical ideas have developed in tandem with Scottish writing during this period. Its themes can be read as a breakdown in Scottish Enlightenment thinking after empire - precisely the process which permitted the rise of 'theory'.The book places within a wider theoretical context writers such as Muriel Spark, Edwin Morgan, Ian Hamilton Finlay, James Kelman, Alexander Trocchi, Janice Galloway, Alan Warner and Irvine Welsh, as well as more recent work by Alan Riach and Pat Kane, who can be seen to take the 'post-Enlightenment' narrative forward. In doing so, it draws on the work of the Scottish thinkers John Macmurray and R.D. Laing as well as the continental philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Paul Virilio.
