Le Royaume-Uni à l'épreuve de la crise 1970-1979

Over the last ten years in Britain, there has been a series of TV programmes in which social historians try to recreate the everyday life of past historical periods. I think the first one may have been "the 1990 house", but there have been a large number since: "Victorian Pharmacy", "Tudor Monastery Farm" and many more.

This excellent programme takes a Black British family today and tries to give them a taste of what Black people in Britain experienced in the 1970s. Not to be missed.

L3 Popular Culture

You should look at this blog every week, there will usually be something for you. From the quiz I saw that there was a need to know more about British history in general. I recommend the history books below

The People's Peace by Kenneth Morgan (Many cheap second-hand copies here)
Hope and Glory by Peter Clarke ( some cheapish second hand copies here )

Everyone need to read these, but if you are vaguely thinking of preparing a CAPES, it is essentialand urgent.

Otherwise, to revise Britain since 1945, here is an MP3 file of an introductory lecture I gave last year.

Just click here.

Finally, next week we will be beginning the history of British cinema, and at the start of class I will be asking you what is typical, if anything, of British cinema.

Master LEA 1 Economic and Social questions

Two pieces of information.

1) As you probably know, each teacher can supervise a limited number fo placements with their associated dissertations. If you are looking for a "tuteur de stage", I still have a few places left, if you send me an email. 

2) As in the first semester, you will have two marks for the second semester. One homework, which I will give you soon, and one test in the last class, which will have the same format as last semester.

Le Royaume-Uni à l'épreuve de la crise 1970-79

A little practice in text commentary would be most useful. You will find here a collection of texts which different colleagues have suggested would be worth studying. If you write a text commentary on one of them and send it me by email, I wil make comments on it.

Black British history

This new reality TV programme, just out, takes a family of Black British  people and asks them to live for a while in the living conditions of their family from fifty years earlier! Fascinating social history.

1970s

Studying the 1970s (for the agrégation) has allowed a number of us older people to get rather nostalgic about that faraway decade. So I thought I'd just share with you one of the many reasons that it's good that the 1970s has been left behind us.

L3 popular culture

Popular culture, in particular popular music, is often produced by young people or young adults. So what their experience of childhood was is obviously an important influence. This video gives some interesting aspects of being a child in Britain during the Second World War:

L3 Popular culture the 1940s

We will be looking at many aspects of popular culture since 1945. It can be useful to start with a conception of what everyday life was like 70 years ago. This video is very amusing, and useful from this point of view.

Préparation agrégation anglais civilisation britannique 47 Le Royaume Uni à l'épreuve de la crise 1970-79

By now you should have quite a good knowledge of what happened in the nineteen seventies.
Remember  the question for the written exams is often very general (which is not the case for the orals).

There were not enough classes for us to look at the historiography of the decade. However, if you are writing, say, an essay for the written exam it is a big mistake not to say anything about the historiography: that is, to be able to name a few authors and their *different* views of the decade. Read the introduction and the conclusion of the history books that you have not had time to read, and remember the names of the historians.

The aim is to show that you understand that there are several different ways of looking at the decade.

This question is emphasized in the new issue of the Revue française de civilisation britannique, which came out a few days ago. It is also to some extent emphasized in my ebook "Britain in the 1970s, an annotated timeline."

Something else which is very useful is to search on the web for review of the history books which you have read - in this way you can see different opinions about the history book in question, which will help you emphasize the  variety of possible views.

You will find here a series of reviews on Andy Beckett's book, which is no doubt the best one.
