Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. This collection of essays explores the social, cultural, and political landscape of County Durham across nearly a millennium. From the freezing waters of the River Wear in the twelfth century to the industrial unrest of the 1920s, these studies examine how power is exerted, categorised, and resisted. The volume identifies a recurring tension between the "Sacred Peninsula"-the seat of ecclesiastical and administrative elite-and the "Profane Slums" or pits that fueled the region's economy. Through a sociological lens, the author investigates how institutions like the Church and the Police functioned as "domestic missionaries," attempting to impose a moral and sanitary geometry on the "dangerous classes". Key themes of the book: The Science of Police and Social Control: The essays reframe the history of the Durham Cathedral North Door and the Victorian Durham City Borough Police not merely as legal institutions, but as sophisticated security apparatuses designed to protect "High Value Assets" and manage populations through surveillance and intake registers. The Economy of Grace and "Somatic Capital" Using the life of St. Godric and the "Methodist Ascent" of miners like George Parkinson, the text explores how the working class used their own bodies and suffering as a form of currency to earn spiritual authority and community solidarity. The Gendered Boundary: Several studies highlight the use of "biopolitical filters"-such as the Cathedral's Blue Marble Line or the Women's Land Army's "Ribbon of Dismissal"-to enforce strict gender hierarchies and manage the female body as "matter out of place". The Politics of Memory and Sacrifice: The collection examines how the "gallant dead" of the Tyneside Irish Batallions were used as moral evidence to challenge the exclusionary bigotry of the Anglican elite, claiming full citizenship through a "blood tax" paid in the trenches.
