Graham Allen

No text has its meaning alone; all texts have their meaning in relation to other texts. Since Julia Kristeva coined the term in the 1960s, intertextuality has been a dominant idea within literary and cultural studies leaving none of the traditional ideas about reading or writing undisturbed. Graham Allen's Intertextuality outlines clearly the history and the use of the term in contemporary theory, demonstrating how it has been employed in: structuralism post-structuralism deconstruction postcolonialism Marxism feminism psychoanalytic theory. Incorporating a wealth of illuminating examples from literary and cultural texts, this book offers an invaluable introduction to intertextuality for any students of literature and culture.

Intertextuality

Graham Allen, a U.S. Army veteran and a rising star in the conservative movement, makes the case that the United States should look to the country as it was on September 12th, 2001 for lessons about our future. On the day after the World Trade Center was attacked, Americans came together regardless of color, religion, or sexual orientation. We were united. On that day, nearly every store in the country sold out of American flags. After the events of the last eighteen months, from the Covid-19 pandemic to the constant attempts to divide us by race, Graham Allen believes that we should all look back on the events of 9/12 and remember what unites us. He believes that we do not all have to be the same, that it's okay not to agree on everything, but that we share a common history and a set of values. Just as the year 1776 serves as a reminder of our beginning, 9/12 will serve as a reminder of our present and future.

Dear America

Theories of intertextuality suggest that meaning in a text can only ever be understood in relation to other texts; no work stands alone but is interlinked with the tradition that came before it and the context in which it is produced. This idea of intertextuality is crucial to understanding literary studies today. Graham Allen deftly introduces the topic and relates its significance to key heories and movements in the study of literature. Looking at intertextuality in relation to structuralism, poststructuralism, deconstruction, postcolonialism, Marxism, feminism and psychoanalytic theory, his is a fascinating and useful guide for all students of literature and culture.

Now, with America 3:16, Graham shares a deeper look at the life events that shaped his philosophy on Christianity, politics, family, and country."--page 2 of cover.

Early Intervention Review Team

The first report Early Intervention: the next steps (January 2011, ISBN 9780108509711) underlined that many of the costly and damaging social problems for individuals can be eliminated or reduced by giving children and parents the right type of evidence based programmes 0-18 and especially in their earliest years. This second report sets out how to pay for those programmes within existing resources and by attracting new non government money. The key recommendations are that: (1) Government sets a policy objective that all babies, children and young people should have the social and emotional bedrock essential for their future development and their ability to make effective life choices; (2) Government leadership and co-ordination must improve - an Early Intervention Task and Finish Group of experts from across Government departments should establish, measure and progress-chase Early Intervention outcomes; (3) the expected "Families and the Foundation Stage" statement must include regular and purposeful assessments for the 0-5s to help spot and correct dysfunction early; (4) an independent Early Intervention Foundation is set up to promote Early Intervention, spread best evidence based policies and complement the work being done inside Government; (5) need to be more creative in bringing additional non-government money to investment in Early Intervention; (6) establish an 'Early Intervention Fund' or Funds to raise around £200 million of private investment; and (7) HM Treasury should commission a thorough review of Early Intervention growth incentives ahead of the 2012 Budget.

Echoing Mahatma Gandhi's comment on Western civilization, Graham Allen thinks the British constitution would be a very good idea—a clear constitution providing real power to the British people and their elected representatives. In The Last Prime Minister he showed the British people how they had acquired an executive presidency by stealth. It was the first-ever attempt to codify the Prime Minister's powers, many hidden in the mysteries of the royal prerogative. This timely new edition takes in new issues, including Parliament's constitutional impotence over Iraq.
