Historian Phil Withington’s introduction to the special issue of Past & Present on ‘Cultures of Intoxication’ (co-edited with Angela McShane in 2014) begins with a consideration of George Orwell’s Animal Farm . 1 In the parabolic novel, drunkenness both precipitates the revolution, and ultimately poisons it, as humans and animals alike prove unresisting to the charms of various intoxicants, including beer, whisky and tobacco. Indeed, in the final ‘tragic denouement’ of the book, it is the pigs’ emulation of the humans’ culture of intoxication that means the other farmyard creatures ‘looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which’. 2 For Withington, ‘Orwell’s beautifully told fable’ captured many of the concerns of his and McShane’s collection in interrogating the idea ‘that intoxication is a universal and essential feature of the human condition – as quintessentially human as dwelling houses, clothing, money, trade, and inequality’. 3 We introduce our own special issue on ‘Cultural Representations of Intoxication’ by referencing Withington’s citation of Orwell for several reasons. Firstly, to acknowledge the appropriation of the theme ‘Cultures of Intoxication’ for a symposium, held at University College Dublin in February 2020 (weeks before such in-person meetings became no longer possible due to Covid-19) from which this collection was birthed. Cultural representations emerged as a dominant and unifying theme at this event, one that many participants deemed worthy of further dedicated exploration. Secondly, to illustrate that it is difficult to write or talk about intoxication without appealing to its representations via cultural channels; and that, in turn, these portrayals provide a lens for studying the culture from which they emerge. Orwell’s novel is viewed as perhaps the outstanding political satire of the twentieth century with its universal themes of power
历史学家菲尔·威辛顿（Phil Withington）在《过去与现在》（Past&Present）特刊《陶醉文化》（Cultures of Intoxide）（2014年与安吉拉·麦克肖恩（Angela McShane）合编）中介绍了乔治·奥威尔（George Orwell）的《动物农场》（Animal Farm）。1在这部抛物线小说中，醉酒不仅促成了革命，而且最终毒害了革命，因为人类和动物都无法抗拒各种麻醉剂的魅力，包括啤酒、威士忌和烟草。事实上，在这本书的最后一个“悲剧结局”中，正是猪模仿了人类的醉酒文化，这意味着其他农场里的生物“从猪到人，从人到猪，从猪再到人：但已经不可能说哪个是哪个了”。2对于威辛顿来说，“奥威尔讲述得很美的寓言”抓住了他和麦克肖恩收藏中的许多担忧，质疑“醉酒是人类状况的普遍和本质特征——就像住宅、衣服、金钱、贸易和不平等一样是典型的人类”。3出于几个原因，我们引用了威辛顿对奥威尔的引用，介绍了我们自己的特刊《醉酒的文化表征》。首先，承认2020年2月在都柏林大学学院举行的一次研讨会占用了主题“中毒文化”（几周前，由于新冠肺炎，此类住院会议不再可能举行），这一收藏就是从该研讨会诞生的。文化表征成为此次活动的一个主导和统一主题，许多参与者认为这一主题值得进一步深入探索。其次，说明在写作或谈论醉酒时，很难不通过文化渠道来吸引其表现；反过来，这些描绘为研究它们产生的文化提供了一个镜头。奥威尔的小说以其普遍的权力主题被视为二十世纪杰出的政治讽刺作品

ABSTRACT This article seeks to contribute to the emerging literature highlighting Indigenous peoples’ significant involvement in and contributions to goldfields society, in Australia and internationally. It does so by way of conversations with Dja Dja Wurrung voices and a careful examination and interpretation of written colonial records relating to the Dja Dja Wurrung, the Aboriginal people whose Country encompasses what is now called central Victoria in Australia. Further, the article aims to demonstrate that Dja Dja Wurrung participation in and contributions to the gold rushes themselves were not without impact on the colonial society in which they occurred.

ABSTRACT This article explores the afterlives of manuscripts preserved in the collections of three middling sort families during the long eighteenth century. It foregrounds the role that family archives played in the construction and curation of memory and identity among non-elite families during this period, the intersections between socio-economic status, gender, confessional identity and a subject’s curatorial concerns, and the implications for our understanding of archival culture. By showcasing the different ways people engaged with written remains it also demonstrates how reconstructing the motives that underpinned family collections might be possible, offering a framework for the study of intergenerational archival transmission.

ABSTRACT Japanese end of empire migration led to the emergence of a repatriate figure (hikiagesha) in post-war Japan. In its earliest incarnation, the repatriated figure appeared as a female fleeing from violence in Manchuria. This article examines how former colonial residents who came from a different part of the empire (Karafuto, present-day southern Sakhalin) and who were not part of the official repatriation adapted to the Manchurian repatriate figure. It argues that new forms of self-identification for male former colonial residents emerged in response to widespread images of the female hikiagesha. The article therefore suggests that researchers should further examine how and why fragmented end of empire narratives subsequently coalesced into a dominant narrative of repatriation.

ABSTRACT Following her relief work during and after the 1899-1902 South African War, British suffragist and humanitarian Emily Hobhouse (1860-1926) testified to her humanitarianism in several auto/biographical forms, all of them incorporating Boer women's accounts of wartime suffering. We consider the implications of Schaffer and Smith's (2004) 'ethics of recognition' for Hobhouse's construction of her humanitarian authority and the processes whereby the accounts themselves became 'untouchable' testimonies. In examining the iterations of Hobhouse's life writing as emotional practices, we analyse her felt morality, explore her urge to personal accountability, and consider to what purposes her auto/biography was co-produced in South Africa.

ABSTRACT This analysis of petitions from the Lancashire Quarter Sessions submitted by unhappy wives uncovers evidence of women who separated from their husbands illegally between 1660 and 1700. When informally separated, women could turn to JPs to formalise their marital situation. Petitionary evidence also shows that the concept of desertion should be redefined, as many spouses did not completely separate. These petitions demonstrate that authorities could sanction informal separation if peace was maintained. Overall, this article studies separated wives when their legal position was precarious, and illustrates how new sources can help explore the history of marriage in early modern England..

ABSTRACT Through a case study of the publican and brandy merchant, James Ashley (c. 1698–1776), this article considers the extent to which publicans were able to manipulate contemporary attitudes towards the retailing of punch in eighteenth-century London. From a survey of 571 advertisements and notices printed between 1730 and 1790, it argues that punch-house-keepers used advertisements to not only elevate the reputation of themselves and their product, but as a novel method of communication, standardising their retailing practices in the process. As the proprietor of London’s most influential punch-house, James Ashley was at the forefront of this development.

ABSTRACT This article looks at the Proletarian Film Movement of Japan (Prokino) in the interwar period, exploring the shift away from Chaplinism, a current aimed at social critique, to working-class focused political aesthetics. It examines the journey of Prokino in relationship to Eurasianism, in which Japan sought to turn to Asia and the Soviet Union rather than the West. Such a study complicates previous approaches to the history of interwar Japan, and shows how social and cultural history are deeply entangled.

ABSTRACT This article takes the intersection of biography and humanitarianism to explore the life of Lady Helen Munro Ferguson who played a significant leadership role in women’s activism in Britain in the early twentieth century including the Red Cross in Scotland and Australia. The paper explores the problems of constructing a biographical narrative of a leading female humanitarian when there is no personal collection or memoir and limited sources. How do organisational records affect our interpretation and what role does gender play? Could speculative biography help in bringing to life a woman of note but lost to time?
