The following review discusses the recent book by Marie Mulvey-Roberts, Dangerous Bodies: Historicising the Gothic Corporeal (Manchester UP, 2016), which offers a historical perspective on gothic literary and cultural texts. In the book, Mulvey-Roberts examines how gothic fiction represents the bodies of the Other – the Catholic, the slave, the woman, the Jew, and so on – on which the history cannibalistically feeds itself; a meticulous historical research allows her to shed new light on both canonical as well as more marginal gothic texts. This review offers an overview and a brief comment on this significant addition to gothic studies.

Artykuł przedstawia rozwój polityki regionalnej w Zjednoczonym Królestwie od jej genezy i podjęcia pierwszych kroków na rzecz zmniejszenia bezrobocia w niektórych regionach - datowanych na koniec lat 20. XX w., aż do początku XXI stulecia. Rozważania koncentrują się na przesłankach interwencji państwa w sferę rozwoju regionalnego, jej celach, zakresie i stosowanych instrumentach oraz instytucjach odgrywających najważniejszą rolę w tym obszarze. Ulegają one interesującym zmianom wraz z przejęciem władzy przez kolejne rządy Partii Konserwatywnej lub Partii Pracy oraz w wyniku przyłączenia do Jednolitego Rynku. Na zakończenie autorka przedstawia najważniejsze wnioski, które swą puentę mają w przyszłości tej polityki.

The article deals with the evolution of the regional policy in the UK whose traditions in this respect are the richest among West European countries. Its genesis is linked with attempts to reduce unemployment in industrialised regions. It is commonly agreed that state interventionism in regional development began with the publication of the Special Areas Development and Improvement Act of 1934 which covered Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and northern England. The article focuses on the assumptions behind the regional policy, its objectives, scope, instruments used, and institutions responsible for its implementation indicating changes made by subsequent Conservative and Labour governments. While the former restricted the scope and volume of support in aid of assisted areas, the latter did the opposite. The regional policy defined and modified by the European Community plays a significant role in determining its shape as much as deregulation, reinforcement of the regional tier itself, predominance of social matters over economic ones as well affective and selective nature of support.

This paper will discuss the challenges posed by modern conceptions of Hinduism - in particular Heinrich von Stietencron’s conception of a “collection of religions” and Romila Thapar’s application of Benedict Anderson’s theory of “imagined communities” to Hinduism-to the European style of religious studies, particularly at the undergraduate level.
