    In 1896 Louis Lumet despised the state and openly yearned for a red Messiah to sweep away bourgeois culture and politics. By 1904 he was in the receipt of state fundin g. This article unravels the paradox of his trajectory by f ocusing on the common interest that eventually united his i nterests with those of republican governments: the relation ship between art and the people. Drawing on hitherto unknow n writings by Lumet himself, as well as on little-used arch ives, the article explores Lumet’s anarchist persona and co nnections in fin-de-siècle Paris, charts his involvement in the Théâtre d’Art Social and the Théâtre Civique, and exam ines his role in the state-supported Art pour Tous. The fin al discussion reveals areas of conflict and convergence in the perception of the people as political actors by both an archists and the state, raising questions about the theory and practice of cultural democratization

    Asian women and housing : the potential for community action

    Get PDF
    The thesis presents a study of the Asian community in Govanhill, focussing on the extent to which Asian women are disadvantaged in their access to public housing. Discussion takes place at three levels: documentation of individual housing histories; examination of the institutional obstacles to housing access; analysis of the structural factors of race, class and gender which combine to restrict access to housing. In the second part, there is an analysis of the bases on which social mobilisation may or may not take place. Essentially, the debate is whether identification of collective interests is likely to take place on the bases of race, class, or gender, rather than on the basis of consumption of resources, particularly housing. A range of collective action in Govanhill is documented, and analysed in relation to these questions of identity and interests, and particularly in relation to the question of housing class

    Cartel Leniency and Effective Compensation in Europe: The Aftermath of Pfleiderer

    Get PDF
    The recent judgment in Pfleiderer exposes a tension between two goals of European cartel control policy: the ex ante desire to prevent and deter the formation of cartels, and the ex post desire to ensure an effective means by which victims of such conduct can have their harms redressed. The former goal is advanced by way of the administrative enforcement enhanced by a leniency programme, the latter by actions for damages at a decentralised, member state level. Leniency programmes are used to facilitate the acquisition of information by public agencies, but they have the effect of potentially providing information to private parties which can enhance cartel members’ exposure to damages. This paper considers Pfleiderer and other European and national court decisions which follow it, along with the recent Proposed Directive which aims to not just the enhance relationship between public and private enforcement, but also to improve the efficacy of private damages schemes in Europe. I argue that although the judgement in Pfleiderer has significantly hindered European leniency schemes, the initiatives made in the Proposed Directive are steps forward. However, additional changes to harmonise public and private enforcement may be additional steps too far at this point in time
