Cameron’s Tories : Talking Conservative, Acting Radical by Harry Cheesman

“…What does this tell us about Cameroon Conservatism ? It is the purpose of this paper to show that, whilst in a wide range of policy areas Mr Cameron’s Conservatives have clearly taken inspiration from “mother”, and have in fact demonstrated a reformist zeal which throws their heroine’s caution into surprising relief, that they have reversed one of her key teachings ; instead of following the doctrine of “talk radical, act conservative”, Cameron’s Tories are more likely to “talk conservative, act radical”.…”

Raphaëlle Décloître, Le récit allégorique de la fin du Moyen Âge : poétique d’un effacement inévité by Raphaëlle Décloître

“…Dissociating themselves from the critical filiation inaugurated by Jean de Meun, they thus revive the non-confrontational allegorical-narrative proposals of Guillaume de Lorris, whom they honor with a certain conservatism. If the study of the last manifestations of a genre requires, in addition to focusing on poetic considerations, placing late works in literary history (to understand their state of posterity and finality), it seems that, in the case of the last allegorical narratives, the poetics of the texts is revealing of their positioning: beyond the cultural upheavals of the turn of the 16th century, the peaceful relationship of these works to their filiation seems to have encouraged little renewal of the practice.…”

Camping it out in the Never Never: Subverting Hegemonic Masculinity in The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (Stephan Elliott, 1994) by Anne Le Guellec-Minel

“…The article explores how the aesthetics and politics of kitsch, which allow the film to balance subversion and conservatism, may have been the recipe for success. Priscilla belongs to the Australian subgenre of the “Glitter cycle” which charts the rise of ordinary nobodies to fame, affirming aesthetic tackiness against elitist good taste. …”

Ambivalence and Ambiguity in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman by Monica Michlin

“…This close reading of the text highlights how Miss Jane, in her double role as protagonist and narrator, shows considerable ambivalence towards friend and foe alike, with the result that the apparently transparent ideological meaning of entire episodes is blurred by what some critics have merely put down to “conservatism.” I examine Miss Jane’s almost constant suppression of emotion, and frequent displays of ambivalence towards other black people; her ambiguous relationship to oppressive, but familiar whites like Albert Cluveau or Robert Samson; and her conflicted relation to black heroes and heroics. …”
