#TVQueenCleopatra #TheoryRevisionismHistorical
Context: "There's often a debate about whether real-life subjects are better suited for drama or documentary treatment, the core (but admittedly oversimplified) belief being that documentaries serve primarily to educate while drama serves to entertain. Netflix's docudrama Queen Cleopatra tries to have its cake and eat it too: it has all the campy fun of Cleopatra the soap opera in dramatic re-enactments, but intersperses them with straight-faced expertise from academic talking heads. Despite these historians' impressive credentials, the drama outshines the testimony at every turn. Executive producer Jada Pinkett Smith delivers the narration with such sombre self-righteousness that it sucks the joy out of the atmosphere. It's a deliciously fun drama weighed down by the self-serious need to educate.
The biggest buzz about Netflix's latest comes from casting a Cleopatra with light brown skin and curly hair - it met with uproar from those who insisted that she couldn't possibly be Black. This insistence on her whiteness is curious, as much of her lineage (including her mother's race) is unknown. Her Macedonian roots had spent eight generations in Egypt at the time of her birth, and many of the specifics of her family tree have been lost to the annals of time. But while that uncertainty opens her up to being played by any number of actors, it is notable that some see blue-eyed Elizabeth Taylor and Israeli Wonder Woman Gal Gadot as more accurate. Cleopatra's precise skin and hair texture are up for speculation, but to default to whiteness is insidious and ridiculous. Cultural acceptance of an image of a beautiful white woman with a straight jet-black bob does not make it a fact, as her portraits of the era are limited to the sides of coins, and tales of her stunning looks were written hundreds of years after her death." https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2023/may/10/queen-cleopatra-review-a-fun-drama-weighed-down-by-the-self-serious-need-to-educate

During an April 19 exchange on 'CNN This Morning,' Ramaswamy, 37, argued that Black Americans had received equal rights after the Civil War and with the help of the National Rifle Association.
Khanna said he was 'profoundly embarrassed by Vivek lecturing a Black man about Black history.'
'The truth is that the Black civil rights movement paved the way for the 1965 immigration act so that Vivek's family or mine could come to America,' Khanna tweeted on Tuesday. 'We owe a huge debt.'" https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3970313-don-lemons-response-to-vivek-ramaswamy-was-right-says-ro-khanna/ #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticPartyRohitKhanna [tweet]

Context: response to tweet (including a screen-shot) of page 24 of the #OrgUSFedFoodAndDrugAdministrationFDA [Government] 'Summary Basis for Regulatory Action' (8 November 2021) - downloadble from: [Government] i.e.
"Moreover, since vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis is the most clinically significant identified risk, FDA undertook a quantitative benefit-risk assessment to model the excess risk of myocarditis/pericarditis vs. the expected benefits of preventing COVID- 19 and associated hospitalizations, ICU admissions, and deaths. For estimation of risk, the model took a conservative approach by relying on non-chart-confirmed cases from a US healthcare claims database (OPTUM) that could provide a control group and greater confidence in denominators for vaccine exposures. Thus, the estimates of excess risk in this model are higher than the rates estimated from reports to VAERS (an uncontrolled passive surveillance system), with an estimated excess risk approaching 200 cases per million vaccinated males 16-17 years of age (the age/sex-stratified group with the highest risk). For estimation of benefit, the model output was highly dependent on the assumed COVID-19 incidence, as well as assumptions about vaccine efficacy and duration of protection. The assessment therefore considered a range of scenarios including but not limited to a 'most likely' scenario associated with recent Delta variant surge and diminished vaccine effectiveness (70% overall, 80% against COVID-19 hospitalization) compared to that observed in the clinical trial. The 'worst-case' scenario with low COVID-19 incidence reflecting the July 2021 nadir and the same somewhat diminished vaccine effectiveness as in the 'most likely' scenario.
For males and females 18 years of age and older and for females 16-17 years of age, even before accounting for morbidity prevented from non-hospitalized COVID-19, the model predicts that the benefits of prevented COVID-19 hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths would clearly outweigh the predicted excess risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis under all conditions examined. For males 16-17 years of age, the model predicts that the benefits of prevented COVID-19 hospitalizations, ICU admissions and deaths would clearly outweigh the predicted excess risk of vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis under the 'most likely' scenario, but that predicted excess cases of vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis would exceed COVID-19 hospitalizations and deaths under the 'worst case' scenario. However, this predicted numerical imbalance does not account for the greater severity and length of hospitalization, on average, for COVID-19 compared with vaccine-associated myocarditis/pericarditis. Additionally, the 'worst case' scenario model predicts prevention of >13,000 cases of non-hospitalized COVID-19 per million vaccinated males 16-17 years of age, which would include prevention of clinically significant morbidity and/or long-term sequelae associated with some of these cases. Finally, the model does not account for indirect societal/public health benefits of vaccination. Considering these additional factors, FDA concluded that even under the 'worst case' scenario the benefits of vaccination sufficiently outweigh risks to support approval of the vaccine in males 16-17 years of age." #OtheringOutGroupAntiVaxxer
Supplementary: "CDC continues to recommend that everyone ages 5 years and older get vaccinated for COVID-19. The known risks of COVID-19 illness and its related, possibly severe complications, such as long-term health problems, hospitalization, and even death, far outweigh the potential risks of having a rare adverse reaction to vaccination, including the possible risk of myocarditis or pericarditis."

#NewspaperUKBrdshtTheTelegraph "For centuries, public statues and monuments have been erected to celebrate individuals and great moments in British history. Most were erected not by government diktat like in the Soviet Union - but by public subscription, by a borough, village or a parish, a college, a regiment or a local business. They reflected the people's preferences at the time, not a single, official narrative. They are hugely varied, some loved, some reviled, many forgotten, but all part of the weft and weave of our uniquely rich history.
Latterly there has been an attempt to impose a single, often negative narrative which not so much recalls our national story, as seeks to erase part of it. This has been done at the hand of the flash mob, or by the decree of a 'cultural committee' of town hall militants and woke worthies. We live in a country that believes in the rule of law, but when it comes to protecting our heritage, due process has been overridden. That can't be right. Local people should have the chance to be consulted whether a monument should stand or not. What has stood for generations should be considered thoughtfully, not removed on a whim or at the behest of a baying mob.
The statues at risk are not just those of figures who are seldom remembered. It is absurd and shameful that the statue of Winston Churchill should be questioned. Nor is Horatio Nelson safe from the revisionist purge; Lambeth Council has suggested that Nelson's Row may need to be re-named and campaigners have set their sights on Nelson's Column in Trafalgar Square.
Labour's support for this attack on our past is not a relic of the days of Jeremy Corbyn. It's happening under Labour councils and mayors across the country now, personally encouraged by Keir Starmer, his Shadow Cabinet and Local Government Association Labour Group. Not content with ripping down heritage, Labour in London has raised the prospect of removing tombs of those who are now seen as 'offenders' - literally digging up the dead.
Street names are also in their sights. Labour-run Birmingham City Council has already banned new streets being named after historic figures, in place of the anodyne 'Diversity Grove' and 'Humanity Close'. Residents face the inconvenience (and embarrassment) of their addresses being forcibly changed.
We cannot - and should not - try to edit or censor our past. At the heart of liberal democracies is a belief that history should be studied, not censored. We should apply the same scorn to the mindless destruction of statues as to the burning of books that we disagree with.
Many of these statues were put up by previous generations, sometimes with different understandings of right and wrong. To tear them down, is, as the Prime Minister has said, 'to lie about our history'. It is also to needlessly denigrate and distort our past, rather than to educate, inform and unite people. It is a path we see our American cousins are well travelled upon. And we can, I hope, agree that we don't want to follow.
There's a carelessness to this too. We've been here before when a previous generation tore down great buildings to the dismay of the silent majority and campaigners such as Sir John Betjeman. As the late Sir Roger Scruton said, the sentiment that 'good things are easily destroyed, but not easily created' is one that most mature people can share. It is a belief that is at the very heart of conservatism.
The law has been used as a bulwark against thoughtless harm to our heritage before. One of my predecessors as Housing Secretary, Duncan Sandys, created Conservation Areas in 1967 to protect our beautiful towns. Like me, he didn't envisage places being set in aspic, but he was saddened by the carelessness he witnessed to the built environment and historic buildings we inherited from previous generations.
Following in that tradition, I am changing the law to protect historic monuments and ensure we don't repeat the errors of previous generations. Proper process will now be required. Any decisions to remove these heritage assets will require planning permission and councils will need to do so in accordance with their constitution, after consultation with the local community.
Where that does not happen, I will not hesitate to use my powers as Secretary of State in relation to applications and appeals involving historic monuments where such action is necessary to reflect the Government's planning policies. Our view will be set out in law, that such monuments are almost always best explained and contextualised, not taken and hidden away. More details will be set out in Parliament tomorrow.
We want to see a considered approach. An approach that cherishes our past, while not being afraid to examine it. We won't allow people to censor our past or pretend we have a different history to the one we have.
It is our privilege in this country to have inherited a deep, rich, fascinating and yes, often complex, past. We are mature enough as a society to understand that and to seek to pass it on, warts and all. To do otherwise would leave our history and future diminished." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2021/01/16/will-save-britains-statues-woke-militants-want-censor-past/

Context: response to video tweet of Trump remarking at the #2020_WhiteHouseConferenceonAmericanHistory
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVA_t4IJXDc&t=952s that: "For many years now, the radicals have mistaken Americans' silence for weakness. But they're wrong.
There is no more powerful force than a parent's love for their children. And patriotic moms and dads are going to demand that their children are no longer fed hateful lies about this country. American parents are not going to accept indoctrination in our schools, cancel culture at our work, or the repression of traditional faith, culture, and values in the public square. Not anymore" (17 September 2020). [digital archives]

#NMUSPublicBroadcastingServicePBSNewsHourAmnaNawaz "President Trump described Smithsonian museums as 'out of control' for emphasizing, in his view, 'how bad slavery was.' It's part of a pattern by Trump in his second term to reframe historical narratives, in particular about racism and discrimination. Amna Nawaz spoke with historian Peniel Joseph for our series, Art in Action..." https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/scholar-says-trumps-efforts-to-reframe-u-s-history-is-reminiscent-of-mccarthyism

#2025_ "The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of 'WOKE.' The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future. We are not going to allow this to happen, and I have instructed my attorneys to go through the Museums, and start the exact same process that has been done with Colleges and Universities where tremendous progress has been made. This Country cannot be WOKE, because WOKE IS BROKE. We have the 'HOTTEST' Country in the World, and we want people to talk about it, including in our Museums." [fact-checked]

Addendum: Poster praises #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump's act to create the #1776_Commission, which is tasked with promoting so called 'patriotic education' (which given Trump's 'Make America Great Again' #PleaMAGA version of #PoliticsNationalismAmerican - is inevitably a nostalgic effort of #TheoryRevisionismHistorical). The tweet references statements made at the White House History Conference at the National Archives in Washington, DC i.e. #NMUSCableSatellitePublicAffairsNetworkCSPAN https://www.c-span.org/video/?475934-1/president-trump-announces-1776-commission-restore-patriotic-education-nations-schools (video.foxnews.com link not accessible). According to the poster, the act is an attack on Critical Race Theory supposedly promoted by what they characterise as #TauntLeftist.
#PoliticsNationalismBritish #TheoryAffectiveResponsePanic seemingly, driven by an inability to reconcile changes to our historical understanding. The comment assumes that history is stable/unchanging (instead of broadly, the narrativization of events according to the agenda of the status quo). Significantly, such reevaluation of history appears to pose a existential threat for the poster, presumably because of the way that they have used such narratives to bolster their own personal sense of worth / identity i.e. changes to our cultural narratives (history) threaten to compromise the poster's personal narrative. #TheoryRevisionismHistorical

Supplementary: nostalgiaic, #TheoryRevisionismHistorical, which #IRLScholarBasilBernstein understands: retrospective "identities use as resources narratives of the past which provide exemplars, criteria, belonging and . ... This provides for an unambiguous, stable, intellectually impervious, collective identity. This consumes the self in all its manifestations and gives it a site outside of current and future instabilities, beyond current ambiguities of judgement, relation and conduct" (Basil Bernstein 2000, p.74). http://folksonomy.simonperkins.co.uk/?permalink=535 #TheoryRetrospectiveIdentities

Context: using the Roman #SymbolFasces i.e. a bound bundle of wooden rods surrounding an axe. The symbol appears on the US Mercury dime, which was struck between 1916 to 1945. It's worth noting that the symbol was the inspiration for #PoliticsFascism. #SymbolEmblemFlagUSOldGloryBetsyRoss
