Heroes, Heroines: Introduction – Who dares, fails

They know the doubleness, the ambivalence, which is at the heart of identification: how slippery the distinction is between 'being' and 'having'; how little role modelling has to do with someone else's actual life, and how much it has to do with our rewriting of that life, into our narratives, with autography; how little it tells us about them, 117  soundings how much about our desire, both for ourselves and for the other; how inextricably the merging in fantasy with is linked to the awakening of the violence of refusal and rejection from - real or imagined. Bevan - my hero from the days of the suez demonstration in trafalgar square in 1956, when he had put the pigeons to flight with his scathing denunciation of the nefarious eden-french-israeli stitch-up that had taken britain into the most ludicrous post-imperial adventurism until the falklands war - had responded to this triumph of cnd campaigning, 'don't send me naked into the conference chamber'.

Editorial: Questions Which Remain

what labour must be calculating - for it is what we all believe - is that there has been a significant shift in the popular political mood; and that this is a shift - not of very extensive proportions, perhaps, for ordinary voters, but politically significant nonetheless - against the worst excesses of the neo-liberal revolution: and specifically against its rampant individualism, its profound selfishness, against 'the only thing that matters is to look after number one'; against the philosophy that 'there is no such thing as society, there is only the individual and his (sic) family'; in rejection of the belief that market forces are the only criterion of social value and should be 'free' of all limit and regulation, to drive blindly and ruthlessly through society, destroying the social fabric and the bonds of reciprocity between people and the devil take the hindmost.
