Nationalism, Imperialism And Identity In Late Victorian Culture
Attridge (screenwriting, U. of Sheffield, UK), focusing particularly on the changing images of the soldier, explores British literature and popular culture during the Boer War (1899-1902) in order to shed light on the formation and reformation of concepts of national culture. His work finds the discourse theory of Edward Said and his followers to be a "brittle orthodoxy" that fails to account for the nuances of class antagonisms, relative blurriness between soldier and civilian identities, and other processes evident in the shifting representations of the soldier.
