Do participants in the Occupy movement see themselves as part of a unified collective, or as, the leadership of an oppressed socio-political group or class? Or is it a movement that unites diverse political identities in the pursuit of broad common values? This essay is an attempt to answer these questions, and to reflect on the different ways in which UK Occupy participants understand themselves. Jodi Dean has written that:

Scotland’s independence referendum was a watershed both for Scotland and the UK. In Scotland, democratic and political engagement has been dramatically altered. The idea of independence has become normalised and mainstream and distinct from the SNP’s compromised version. Within the UK as a whole, the multiple and deep-seated crises of the British state have been further highlighted which include its very nature and its role in the world. The contours of the 2015 Westminster and 2016 Scottish Parliament elections will be played out against uncertainty and doubt about the future of the union.

It is a form of popular, easily-available knowledge which contains no complicated ideas, requires no sophisticated argument and does not depend on deep thought or wide reading. It works intuitively, without forethought or reflection. It is pragmatic and empirical, giving the illusion of arising directly from experience, reflecting only the realities of daily life and answering the needs of ‘the common people’ for practical guidance and advice.1

This article engages with recent Labour Party policy reviews and writings which have sought to develop the project of 'One Nation Labour'. It focuses on four elements of Labour's emerging policy debate: the Jon Cruddas and Jonathan Rutherford's pamphlet One Nation: Labour's Political Renewal; One Nation Fizz, a book edited by Roberta Blackman-Woods, Diana Johnson and Barbara Keeley in which Labour shadow ministers set out their positions; the Local Government Innovation Taskforce's The Case For Change, published by Labour's Policy Review (on localism); and Andrew Adonis's Mending the Fractured Economy: Smarter State, Better Jobs, an independent review carried out for the Labour Party and published by Policy network. Through doing so, I evaluate key aspects of the party's approach to the post-crisis political conjuncture. The article concludes by outlining the importance of shaping antagonisms which seek to go beyond an acceptance of austerity.

J. Littler, Nancy Fraser
Your new book Fortunes of Feminism -a selection of writing you’ve produced over the past 30 years -includes the 1994 essay ‘After the Family Wage’, written in 1994, in which you argued that neither the ‘universal breadwinner’ model (in which working mothers strive to emulate male employment patterns) nor the care-giver parity model (in which women are remunerated for being full-time stay-at-home mothers) is very satisfactory. Instead, you proposed the universal care-giver model in which both men and women are structurally enabled to share the load as a fairer solution. (As someone who campaigned in 1990s London for paid paternity leave, I’m extremely on board with that project). What progress do you think has been made towards that model of sharing the pleasures and pains of childcare?
你的新书《女权主义的命运》(fortune of Feminism)是你过去30年的作品选集,其中包括1994年的一篇文章《家庭工资之后》(After the Family Wage),你在文中认为,无论是“普遍养家糊口”模式(职业母亲努力模仿男性的就业模式),还是“照顾者平等”模式(女性作为全职全职母亲获得报酬),都不太令人满意。相反,你提出了一种普遍的照顾者模式,在这种模式中,男性和女性在结构上都能够分担负担,这是一种更公平的解决方案。(作为上世纪90年代在伦敦发起带薪陪产假运动的人,我非常支持这个项目。)你认为这种分享育儿的快乐和痛苦的模式取得了什么进展?

The centenary of WWI has produced a plethora of activities and events, building upon the cultural obsession with remembrance that emerged in Britain in the last 30 years and in which the media plays a significant role. WWI frames contemporary practices of remembrance, but politicians, organisations and individuals contest the meanings of Remembrance Sunday and the Poppy. Remembrance, narratives, myths and memories of WWI are tied up with constructions of nationhood and recently there has been a blurring in the public imagination between contemporary conflicts and WWI. Broadcast media's focus on private lives and personal stories have led the Tommy to emerge as a new working class hero, a victim as well as a and family member and enabled those in the armed forces to have an increasingly central place in British cultural life. Questions remain about how this will shape Britain's military involvement in the current volatile global situation.
