President's Address 2024, given by Professor Lucy Noakes
Why does the Second World War continue to have such a hold over the popular imagination in early 21st century Britain? From Brexit to Covid, sporting competitions to environmental disasters, many public events are understood through reference to the Second World War and in particular the ‘signal events’ of 1940: Dunkirk, the Battle of Britain and the Blitz. Unlike the First World War, the memory of this second conflict is largely positive, focused on an imagined past in which people came together in adversity, overcoming the divisions of social class, political belief, and economics that had so divided 1930s Britain to defeat- against the odds - a powerful and ambitious enemy. In short, the Second World War is still widely remembered as Britain’s ‘finest hour’.
In this talk, Lucy Noakes will outline the history of this memory and argue that it has a particular resonance in times of turmoil and instability. Looking back at the ways Mass Observers were beginning to construct a memory of the war as it came to an end, in similarly uncertain times, this talk explores the ways in which people make use of the past in order to understand their presents.

RHS Lecture, 'Possible Maps: Ways of Knowing and Unknowing at the Edge of Empire (Newfoundland)'

Consigned to the cold and watery edge of empire, Newfoundland was more of a work-camp than a colony. To the colonial officials in their mahoganied offices in London and the merchants in their mansions in Poole, the island was (in the words of Patrick O’Flaherty) a ‘a sub-colonial fishing berth, an outlying cod abattoir’. The interior was thought too barren and empty for landward expansion, but ...

    Despite repeated warnings from the White House, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 shocked the world. Why did Putin start the war―and why has it unfolded in previously unimaginable ways? Ukrainians have resisted a superior military; the West has united, while Russia grows increasingly isolated. Serhii Plokhy, a leading historian of Ukraine and the Cold War, offers a definitive account of this conflict, its origins, course, and the already apparent and possible future consequences. Though the current war began eight years before the all-out assault―on February 27, 2014, when Russian armed forces seized the building of the Crimean parliament―the roots of this conflict can be traced back even earlier, to post-Soviet tensions and imperial collapse in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Providing a broad historical context and an examination of Ukraine and Russia’s ideas and cultures, as well as domestic and international politics, Plokhy reveals that while this new Cold War was not inevitable, it was predictable. Ukraine, Plokhy argues, has remained central to Russia’s idea of itself even as Ukrainians have followed a radically different path. In a new international environment defined by the proliferation of nuclear weapons, the disintegration of the post-Cold War international order, and a resurgence of populist nationalism, Ukraine is now more than ever the most volatile fault line between authoritarianism and democratic Europe.

    The further we go back in time, the greater the possibility of science merging with fiction and history becoming literature. But this phenomenon paradoxically also occurs in relation to the very recent past. Not because there are no reliable written sources, but because there are so many sources and the documentation is so vast that the historian is forced to make selections, excluding an immense amount of information from his analysis. Some people imagine that Artificial Intelligence will bring about a revolution in archaeological and historical studies. But I have doubts, because it is easier for an AI to spew anachronistic hallucinations than for a trained human to make serious errors when applying scientific methods to analyze sources from the past. And anyway, when a historian makes a serious mistake others can correct it, but mistakes made by one AI will be treated as information by other AIs in the future. Carefully purging outdated interpretations and theories when writing new history and archeology books is something human experts must do if they want to gain recognition in their field. Can this be programmed into an AI? I do not think so. Another aspect that deserves attention here is the illusion that everything can be reduced to data and that analyzing the largest amount of data is equivalent to producing the best knowledge. I have my doubts about this, because it is a well-known fact that historians must be careful with data mentioned by ancient writers such as Herodotus, Livy, Thucydides, Suetonius, Flavius ​​Josephus, Polybius and others. An AI will never have the same sensitivity, care and distrust as a human historian. A machine cannot interpret some data with the necessary skepticism, paying greater attention to the context in which certain data were collected and the possible motivations that may have contaminated their collection and use. Making history is filling in gaps, that is, trying to perceive data that were not recorded or were recorded in a suspicious manner to differentiate possible, plausible and improbable situations based on the interpretation of ancient texts and data. With education and training, a human can learn to do this well. I do not believe that an AI can imitate this type of human activity.

    I love the sort-of evolution and change of style of these documents. Though the large gaps on the documents seem random (to me) THEN as you get to the more list style more portrait than landscape THAT seems reasonable and understandable. Then those landscaped lines which are kind of artful morphs and take the recognition sign and it becomes the salutation. Nonetheless every day when I create documents (effective or not) I am continuing the Franks HUH Wait I`m Anglo-Saxon, OH OH.

    It would be hard to do this without resetting the very theme of the event to reflect such focus, but the whole discussion was heavily affected by the first question, such that it would've been interesting (if risky) to try and dwell a little bit more in there and really work out the relations between them and the reasons for going with either one. It seems to me that the three first definitions can be effectively rewritten in terms of the fourth one, with the benefit of a more transparent conceptual "genealogy". When such prominent figures in the debate just state their particular choices it can invite a sense of taboo which is not ideal for a critical attitude. Either way, this was great, thank you for the talk.
