[WikiEN-l] A first encounter with Categories So, I turned to http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Categoriesandarticle=Lists_of_articles_by_category which is an alphabetical list of categories, but the first five hundred only range from ".hack" to "British cheeses", suggesting that already on the order of eight to ten thousand categories (!!!) have been created. For example, I saw a category for for "Argentine writers" (the article on Borges I think). In any case, my only option for writers appears to be to add categories on an ad hoc basis, and that exactly is what seems to be happening across the entire encyclopedia. mail.wikipedia.org /pipermail/wikien-l/2004-June/013210.html

Talk:J. R. R. Tolkien Right now, J.R.R. Tolkien is listed in the categories "Middle-earth", "Fantasy writers", "British writers", "British Army officers" and "Residents of Birmingham, England".

Awards and audiences for Fawlty Towers A poll by the British Film Institute surveyed 1600 TV critics, programme makers and writers, industry executives, etc, and the result was that Fawlty Towers was voted the UK television industry's favourite British TV programme. It is no surprise that Fawlty Towers also topped the Comedy and Variety category of the same poll. Viewers of UK television Channel 4 voted Basil Fawlty the second greatest TV character of all time in their survey which voted Homer Simpson the greatest of all. www.fawltysite.net /awards.htm

Romanticism On the Net 8 (November 1997) British Romanticism may ultimately feel narrow, and hence open to absorption by its neighboring periods, because it is so closely identified with a group of only five writers. This fuzziness or blurring at the boundaries means as well that we don't need to engage in turf wars with our colleagues in eighteenth-century or Victorian studies over writers who can inhabit the edges of two neighboring categories simultaneously without disrupting what is ultimately an open category. Although there are certainly many meaningful ways to discuss Romanticism across national and disciplinary boundaries, these do not appear to have had much of an effect on the way British Romanticism is generally constituted, at least in terms of anthologies and much of the literary criticism. users.ox.ac.uk /~scat0385/cognitive.html   (3808 words)

Somehow the two of us, along with British academic and journalist Simon Warner, had been picked to judge the "Music Criticism" category of the annual Association of Alternative Newsweeklies editorial contest. For some reason it seemed that any two of us Doe and Warner, Warner and I, Doe and I were in agreement regarding particular writers, but at odds over others.

Simon During The persistence of class as a meaningful category within youth culture was not, however, generally acknowledged until fairly recently and, as we shall see, the seemingly spontaneous eruption of spectacular youth styles has encouraged some writers to talk of youth as the new class - to see in youth a community of undifferentiated Teenage Consumers. After all, in a society which seemed to generate a bewildering number of fads and fashions, the teddy boys were a virtual institution: an authentic, albeit dubious part of the British heritage. For example, the mod and teddy boy 'solutions' were produced in response to different conjunctures which positioned them differently in relation to existing cultural formations (immigrant cultures, the parent culture, other subcultures, the dominant culture). www.jahsonic.com /SimonDuring.html   (4768 words)

MobyLives.com A book about the war in Iraq written by the British "UK ambassador to the UN during the build-up to the 2003 war and the Prime Minister's special envoy to Iraq in its aftermath" has been censored by Prime Minister Tony Blair, according to a report in The Observer by Martin Bright and Peter Beaumont. But besides having a book and a poem here and there banned (many writers of that period did, in an atmosphere of rabid censorship), we always find Kadare firmly ensconced in the bosom of power. • RELATED: In a guest commentary for MobyLives last fall, Lakoff's publisher, Margo Baldwin of Chelsea Green, described her bizarre confrontation with The New York Times when it insisted that Lakoff's book was a bestseller—in the "how–to" category. www.mobylives.com   (4768 words)

CONTEXT: John Taylor on Nathalie Sarraute Sarraute agreed with me that the time has long come to abandon a thoroughly misguiding academic and journalistic category, which invites readers to accept or reject such writers as a group, and not to discern the pointedly disparate sensibilities they actually possess. (Sarraute was born, as Natalia Tcherniak, on July 18, 1900, in Ivanova, Russia.) She was always delighted, she confessed, to be read by the British. Sarraute bases her gently sarcastic sketch on the simplest French phrase, "c'est" ("it's"), juxtaposing it with a first-name, "Antonin." Comic variants result from the different pronunciations of the two words together: "Ce Antonin," "Ce Tantonin." Another sketch investigates the hidden implications involved in strictly pronouncing "tu n'as qu'à. www.centerforbookculture.org /context/no3/taylor.html   (2634 words)

British Golden Age - Intuitionist Writers Williams' autobiography also makes clear that Williams regarded himself much more as an author of "shockers" (spy stories, thrillers, and related works), than of mystery fiction proper, although much of Treadgold falls in the latter category.
