Radical Anthropology goes to the pub TONIGHT!
Our MONDAY special with spots on Thomas Hardy, Velimir Khlebnikov, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Philip Larkin and the Apollo Moon missions...
Our next session is a new departure: a poetry reading by our Alternative Radical #Poet Laureate, #PaulDave.
🌑April 28 🌒from 6.30pm over the famed Two Chairmen pub in Dartmouth St, SW1H 9BP, London. Just come upstairs, FREE to all.
Come for food, drink and healthy discussion on the topics of #Englishness and #ComedyCommunism! RAG's scientific theory is featured strongly in this amazing epic. Funny how our cutting edge science of human origins is often ignored by the Royal Society but taken up by celebrated artists and poets!
Paul Dave is a poet with an unhealthy interest in England. Larkin’s Toilet is an epic autobiography concerned with national origins and change. It explores some of the most influential official voices of English poetry in the context of our current emergencies. As an epic rather than surveying the heroic birth of a nation it is preoccupied with the ongoing failure of a nation to be born, but is in no way entirely convinced in the desirablilty of such a birth. It is therefore a poem that records a struggle in the subjectivity of the poet and in his historical materials. Its structuring ideas are borrowed from radical evolutionary anthropology, political marxism and comedy communism.
Everybody welcome! We will run our ZOOM if you can't get there (ID 384 186 2174 passcode Wawilak)
With Ms Braverman’s intervention, the subject of #Englishness has raised its head again.
To understand what this means in the context of UK politics, I suggest you read the titular book by R Wyn Jones & Ailsa Henderson or listen this excellent pod about it 👇👇

Personally i specifically avoid reading muddling media. #DumpTheGuardian
Yet, Thanks to your mention i found a joyful assessment:
"Lucas’s captivating book examines the more uplifting aspects of the nation’s past such as English people's progressive spirit, radical inclusivity and ancient commitment to nature to envisage where we might go from here."

Readinng John Higgs’ Love and Let Die which examines England and Englishness through the prism of The Beatles and James Bond.
I’m about a quarter through and it’s excellent.
Higgs refers to the “England” of the wealthy as the Norman Continuity Empire and describes it as “a cuckoo placed in the nest of physical England, claiming an outsized share of resources”.
Ben Aaronovitch's 'Moon over Soho' and #englishness:
"There's more to life than just London."
"Yeah, people keep saying that. But I've never seen actual proof."
"We can take the dog. He'll enjoy the fresh air."
"We won't. Not if we take the dog."
100 pages later:
"For a terrifying moment I thought he was going to hug me. But fortunately we both remembered we were English just in time."
