Speakers: Colm McAuliffe<\/a>,\u00a0PhD in Critical Theory and Popular Culture at Birkbeck, University of London<\/strong>
\nTitle: RADICAL BROADCASTS – Theory On Television<\/em><\/strong>
\nHosted by: Professor Esther Johnson<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Imagine the following: radical psychiatrist R.D.\u00a0Laing amiably explaining his theories on schizophrenia on a daytime television\u00a0chat show in 1977; cultural\u00a0theorist Stuart Hall discussing why Karl Marx\u00a0mattered in 1983; David Lodge grappling with post-structuralist theory at a\u00a0conference on the linguistics of\u00a0writing at the University of Strathclyde in\u00a01986; Edward Said musing on how ostensibly great western literature is complicit\u00a0in the crime of empire.<\/p>\n

All of\u00a0these were screened on British television to\u00a0audiences of millions throughout the 1970s and 1980s.<\/p>\n

This screening and seminar\u00a0asks: what has happened to\u00a0television with radical and political cultural\u00a0messages?<\/p>\n

\"Still

Still from the documentary Border Country<\/em> – Raymond Williams and Dennis Potter strolling through the Welsh countryside, debating the meaning of culture.<\/p><\/div>\n

SCREENING –\u00a0Border Country<\/em><\/strong>
\n5.30PM – 7.00PM<\/strong>
\nWEDNESDAY 28 NOVEMBER 2018<\/strong>
\nTHE VOID CINEMA (OWEN 123)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The death of Raymond Williams<\/a> in 1988 robbed Britain of one of its most influential literary and cultural critics, a major socialist theorist and an exemplary instance of the union of intellectual seriousness and political purpose. Border Country<\/em>, originally screened on BBC2 in August 1970, and follows Williams as he contrasts the landscapes of his working-class birthplace of Pandy, on the Wales-England border, with the University of Cambridge where he lectured in English literature. Williams explains how the barriers between university education and \u2018real life\u2019 should be broken down, believing that many of Britain\u2019s rebellious students are, like himself, inhabitants of what he calls the \u2018Border Country.\u2019<\/p>\n
