[source] Where Next in Victorian Literary Studies?LITERATURE COMPASS (ELECTRONIC), Issue 4 2007Extending Cultural Boundaries, Revising the Canon, the Challenge of Interdisciplinarity This paper forms part of a Literature Compass cluster of articles which examines the current state of Victorian Literary Studies and future directions. This group of four essays was originally commissioned by Francis O'Gorman (University of Leeds), who also provides an introduction to the cluster. The full cluster is made up of the following articles: ,Where Next in Victorian Literary Studies? , Introduction', Francis O'Gorman, Literature Compass 4 (2007), 10.1111/j.1741-4113.2007.00467.x. ,Where Next in Victorian Literary Studies? , Revising the Canon, Extending Cultural Boundaries, and the Challenge of Interdisciplinarity', Joanne Shattock, Literature Compass 4 (2007), 10.1111/j.1741-4113.2007.00468.x. ,Where Next in Victorian Literary Studies? ,"Interesting Times" and the Lesson of "A Corner in Lightning"', David Amigoni, Literature Compass 4 (2007), 10.1111/j.1741-4113.2007.00469.x. ,Where Next in Victorian Literary Studies? , Historicism, Collaboration and Digital Editing', Valerie Sanders, Literature Compass 4 (2007), 10.1111/j.1741-4113.2007.00470.x. ,Where Next in Victorian Literary Studies? , Historicism and Hospitality', John Bowen, Literature Compass 4 (2007), 10.1111/j.1741-4113.2007.00471.x. *** This article argues that the future of Victorian literary studies will include the continuous revision and expansion of the canon, and the extension of what we regard as ,literary' texts to include writing on science, philosophy, history, medicine and related areas. Meanwhile the process of reviewing and rehabilitating unfashionable or neglected writers and consigning others to the periphery will go on, although a core of major authors will continue to attract scholarly and critical attention. There will be an increasing focus on the new histories of the book, on authorship and readership. Research on print culture in its widest sense will expand in the wake of the ongoing digitisation of printed materials, a process which ultimately will transform the way we do research. The focus on writers and texts will move from a metropolitan-centred one to embrace the literatures in English of the countries of the Empire and of North America, and more problematically, to include the literature and culture of Europe in the nineteenth century. The latter development poses a challenge to the hitherto monolingual nature of Victorian literary studies. Finally there will be a continued engagement in multi-disciplinary, cross-disciplinary if not truly interdisciplinary work that has been characteristic of Victorian Studies since its emergence in the 1950s. [source] THE ENCHANTMENTS OF MAMMON: NOTES TOWARD A THEOLOGICAL HISTORY OF CAPITALISMMODERN THEOLOGY, Issue 3 2005EUGENE McCARRAHER Tales of "disenchantment" dominate modern intellectual life, and especially accounts of the cultural history of capitalism. Yet Weberian sociology, and especially Marxist notions of "commodity fetishism", point to the persistence of "enchantment" in the capitalist imagination. If we reformulate these notions of "enchantment" and "disenchantment" in theological terms of sacrament, then we can write new histories of capitalism, as well as articulate new forms of political and cultural criticism. Borrowing from "radical orthodoxy", the author takes a Cook's Tour of "disenchantment", explores the possibilities afforded by "sacramental" conceptions of materialism, and gestures toward an account of American cultural history shaped by a sacramental materialism. [source] "Real Solemn History" and its Discontents: Australian Political History and the Challenge of Social HistoryAUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF POLITICS AND HISTORY, Issue 1 2010Frank Bongiorno The relationship between Australian political and social history has received little historiographical attention. Political history has been lauded or, more often, dismissed as traditional historical practice, while from the 1960s social history took its place as a catch-all phrase for various "new" histories concerned with everyday life. This article examines the place of political and social history in the nascent Australian academic historical profession of the 1950s to the early 1970s, and then explores the impact of the new social history on academic political history. It will suggest that while there was only limited exchange before the late 1980s, in the last twenty years social history has contributed modestly to a reconstituted understanding of political history as part of lived experience. "[,] I can read poetry and plays, and things of that sort, and do not dislike travels. But history, real solemn history, I cannot be interested in. Can you?" "Yes, I am fond of history." "I wish I were too. I read it a little as a duty, but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars or pestilences, in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all , it is very tiresome: and yet I often think it odd that it should be so dull, for a great deal of it must be invention [,]"., [source] Government and the American economy: a new history , By Price Fishback, Robert Higgs, Gary D.
