FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: ““Democracy? We Deliver”: Race, Morale, and Total War in the Pacific””
FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: ““Democracy? We Deliver”: Race, Morale, and Total War in the Pacific””
Abstract: In November 1945, the United States Strategic Bombing Survey (USSBS) set out in jeeps across Hiroshima to find eyewitnesses who could tell them about their experience of the atomic bomb. This surreal scene of dropping a weapon of mass destruction on a city, and then going about with clipboards asking residents how they felt about it, encapsulated the many contradictions and ironies inherent at the American way of war. The importance of the moment, however, goes beyond the American context. The encounter in Hiroshima was the result of a convergence of several historical trajectories and developments that were shared across all WW II belligerents. The USSBS was the result of the increased scientification of strategic bombing and the methods […]

FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: “Resistance to Biologism since Malthus: An ethics of responsibility”
FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: “Resistance to Biologism since Malthus: An ethics of responsibility”
Abstract: This paper considers ways in which thinkers and writers of the nineteenth century encountered imperialism and challenged biologism, the practice of attributing biological cause to that which is explicable either wholly or in part by environment. It explores early challenges to biologism as expressed in the oppression of women and in groundless and unjustifiable hierarchies of race. I begin with the Brontë sisters’ implicit interrogation both of imperialism and exploitation through the extraction of and trading in natural resources, and consider key historical and literary moments of resistance to biologistic thought from Charles Darwin and J. S. Mill to Thomas Hardy, Mona Caird, and Siegfried Sassoon. Biography: Angelique Richardson is Professor of English and a historian of science at the University of Exeter, where she leads the Hardy’s Global Correspondents Project. […]
