摘要

John Hardcastle Reflections: An English Course for Students Aged 14-18 was a path-breaking English course book that came out of work developed in the late 1950s by three young teachers working in one of London's poorest boroughs. Within a larger project - an inquiry into post-war teacher-led innovation - I look closely at four photographs of the urban environment that were included in the course book for what they tell us about an attempt to democratise the secondary English curriculum. I draw on perspectives from research in 'urban archaeology' to tell the story of the way a group of independently-minded teachers, who were in touch with advanced developments in contemporary culture, changed English by broadening its scope. Urban planning symbolised post-war national regeneration in the 1950s, and photographs of the built environment commonly served to communicate planners' and policy makers' visions of Britain's towns and cities. Reflections' innovative use of photographs marks the authors' critical response to such developments, and the inclusion of photographs for study in their own right represents an imaginative effort to make the critical discussion of social issues count for something in English classrooms. The story of the four photographs can be told properly only by mapping significant 'conjunctures' across a wide range of cultural activity - in the visual arts, film and architecture. Mapping these conjunctures entails uncovering of networks, contacts and the kinds of correspondences that, according to urban archaeologists, are characteristic features of modern cities. One aim is to show how the inclusion of the pictures, though problematic, articulated with contemporary developments in art, photography and architecture in ways that seem hard to credit today, when so much of the content of English is pre-specified centrally. My second aim is to recover fundamental values and dispositions that English is seriously in danger of losing.
