He decided to try all three. In this series\, Prof Tombs analyses Brexit\, why it happened\, and what it means; how different policies towards European integration taken in Britain and France tell us much about the direction Europe has taken; and how Brexit’s diplomatic and economic impact may be small next to the cultural\, social\, and political consequences.\n\n\nFilmed in St Edmund Hall’s Old Library in November 2023\, this series of lectures will be published online in May 2024. \nProf Robert Tombs is a distinguished historian\, specialising in the history of Britain and France. He is Professor Emeritus of French History at Cambridge and a Fellow of St John’s College. His published works include The War Against Paris\, 1871 (1981)\, That Sweet Enemy: The French and the British from the Sun King to the Present (2006\, with Isabelle Tombs); The English and Their History (2014)\, and This Sovereign Isle (2020). His writing appears regularly in The Daily Telegraph\, The Spectator\, and The Times\, and he is the editor of Briefings for Britain and History Reclaimed. In 2007\, the French Government awarded Tombs the prestigious Ordre des Palmes Académiques ‘for services rendered to French culture’. He was appointed to the Franco-British Council the following year. \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/robert-tombs-a-shameful-conquest-britain-before-and-after-brexit-tickets-804330483127?aff=ebdsoporgprofile”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:Noel Malcolm – Emergence of Homosexuality in the Early Modern Period
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1731685237247{margin-bottom: 0px !important;padding-top: 2rem !important;}” text_direction=”default”]\n\n\nIn a famous statement\, published before almost any serious scholarly work had been done on the history of same-sex relations in pre-modern Europe\, Michel Foucault said that the homosexual\, as a distinct type of person\, was a purely modern phenomenon: in the past\, people thought only in terms of sexual acts\, not sexual identities. This lecture series tests the truth of that assertion\, which has exerted such a strong influence on the whole historiography of the subject\, and lays the ground work for a revisionary understanding of the history of sexuality in Europe. \nThe first lecture discusses the rich evidence which emerged\, in the decades after Foucault wrote\, from the archives of Italy and Spain. In many ways this seemed to prove him right. It revealed a world of activity by men who were happy to have sex with boys as well as women; generally\, their behaviour carried no ‘identity’ implications\, and it was unlike modern homosexuality in other ways too\, not least the lack of sexual interest in other adult males. The second lecture investigates how such same-sex acts were conceptualised and dealt with by the religious and legal norms of the period; it does so not only for these Christian Mediterranean countries\, but also for the Islamic societies of the Ottoman Empire and North Africa. The third lecture turns to northern Europe\, including England\, and finds some significant divergences from the Mediterranean pattern. It also looks at European colonial societies\, especially in the Americas\, where some contrasts can be found between the colonies of the northern and southern European powers. The final lecture puts the evidence together\, considers what it tells us about identities and subcultures\, and offers a new account of what has been called the ‘emergence of modern homosexuality. \nRecorded at Magdalen College in February-March 2024\, this inaugural series of Pharos Monday Lectures will be published in May. \nSir Noel Malcolm FRSL FBA is Senior Research Fellow at All Souls College\, a Founding Fellow of the Pharos Foundation\, and one of the country’s pre-eminent intellectual historians. He was foreign editor for The Spectator and a columnist for The Daily Telegraph before returning to academia. He is the author of twelve books\, and the editor of the Clarendon edition of Thomas Hobbes’s Leviathan\, for which he was awarded a British Academy medal. His latest work\, Forbidden Desire in Early Modern Europe: Male-Male Sexual Desire\, 1400-1750 was published by Oxford University Press in November 2023. \n\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ali-ansari-interpreting-iran-tickets-877086026917?aff=oddtdtcreator”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Disrupting the very idea of ‘Blackness’ itself\, Lord Sewell presses for the collective humanity that is now so unpopular in the age of ‘identity politics’ and provides an antidote to the idea that the lives of black people should be a decolonising project. Freedom from mental slavery is knowing how to be free\, not struggling to be. After his lecture\, Lord Sewell was  joined for a discussion on stage by Deroy Murdock. \nBorn in Brixton\, Lord Tony Sewell CBE is an internationally-respected author\, educator\, and statesman. His path-breaking charity ‘Generating Genius’ has helped hundreds of young black Britons to forge careers in STEM. In July 2020\, he was appointed Chair of the Commission on Racial and Ethnic Disparities: the Sewell Report made him the target of a cancellation effort by his critics\, but his recommendations now form the basis for the government’s policy on tackling racial inequalities. Sewell was elevated to the House of Lords in 2022. He was honoured by the government of Jamaica in 2023. His new book\, Black Success: The Surprising Truth will be published by Forum in March. \nDeroy Murdock is a prominent political commentator\, currently contributing editor at the National Review and formerly Media Fellow at the Hoover Institution.[/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner disable_element=”yes” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” top_padding=”4%” constrain_group_1=”yes” bottom_padding=”4%” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][nectar_cta btn_style=”arrow-animation” heading_tag=”h6″ button_color=”black” button_color_hover=”#d1b876″ text_color=”#ffffff” text_color_hover=”#000000″ button_border_color=”#000000″ button_border_color_hover=”#d1b876″ button_border_thickness=”1px” link_type=”new_tab” alignment=”left” alignment_tablet=”default” alignment_phone=”default” constrain_group_1=”yes” constrain_group_2=”yes” constrain_group_3=”yes” constrain_group_4=”yes” display=”block” display_tablet=”inherit” display_phone=”inherit” font_size_desktop=”1rem” link_text=”BOOK TICKETS” padding_top=”15″ padding_bottom=”15″ padding_left=”15″ padding_right=”15″ url=”https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/lord-tony-sewell-the-end-of-race-agency-self-affirmation-tickets-795591976017?aff=odcleoeventsincollection”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]
