Literature and the Welfare State in Post-War Britain
Date
29/06/2016
Description
How does literature register Britain's post-war welfare capitalism? What critiques of
British state welfare have been put forward by writers across genres in the twentieth and
twenty-first centuries? Can these broad questions be systematised into a coherent idea of
'Welfare State Literature'? Centred on an invited lecture from Professor Michael Gardiner
on Thatcher and the post-war consensus, this half-day workshop is dedicated to
beginning a conversation on British Welfare State culture. Everyone is welcome to
attend.

Comics, Politics, and Adaptation
Date
01/07/2016
Description
his symposium will explore the ways in which comics respond to the cultural and
historical world around them. Taking a new approach to adaptation, it investigates how
comics creators adapt and transform literary texts as well as how history and
(auto)biography are translated into the comics medium. In addition to these topics, we
will be discussing the political aspects of such adaptations focussing not only on the use
of the medium to advance specific political perspectives but also on the political
implications of adaptation as a process.
