MEEF M1 British civilization class (which would have been at
9 O Clock)
In the next few weeks, some of the classes will be recorded
on video (as you have seen in recent weeks). Other classes, or parts of
classes, will be live via BBB or zoom.
This week, everything is video, nothing is live. But check
here again during the week, because there will be new information on the blog
for you.
For this
week, chapter 9 of my own lectures is here.
This is an
introduction to the question of “migrations, diversité et inclusion” and the
concepts and debates which surround these issues in the very specific case
of the UK. In this domain, the UK is very different both from France and from
the USA (if you are ever tempted to write “le modèle anglo-saxon” stop that
immediately : it is nonsense).
And here is
chapter 10

This is the
first in a series of chapters examining different minority communities, and
giving a very brief sketch of their histories and a look at a few well-known
figures from their group. Of course, today, in the UK, this is mostly a question
not of immigrants but of grandchildren or great grandchildren of immigrants. I
will be looking at Irish and South East Asian and Caribbean. In this chapter I
look at Jewish immigration.
Literature,
Television and cinema have sometimes wanted to explain and portray the
experience of minority communities. I recommend you have a look at this “reality
TV” series about the Jewish community in
Manchester.
Here is
episode one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfVy5uwwktA
If you have
been following the news, you will have seen M Blanquer saying that there has
been a rise in our universities of dangerous approaches, coming from English-speaking countries, to the study of
identity or of ethnic minorities. As I imagine you guessed, I do not agree with
him, but it is up to you to think about this.
