council estate on the north side of the city The bands politics was reflected in its name coined by drummer and songwriter McNiven whose father was a Korean War veteran and a Communist While in the early stages as a band with little equipment the band were invited to play their first gig at Craigmuir School The band seemed to be a victim of their own publicity here They had spraypainted their band name locally and had stolen Sunday papers milk and rolls in the early hours of Sunday morning and redistributed them outside peoples front door with a note saying a gift from the exploited Their first gig was on Friday 15 December 1978 The date was recalled by McNiven as it coincided with a performance by the the Damned by another name at Clouds in Edinburgh to which they went after performing their own gig The gig was attended by Terrys older brother Wattie who had recently left the army and was a punk in London Wattie soon replaced Terry and Andy McNiven and Colin Erskine were dropped from the lineup as well Jim Park became the drummer in January 1979 first playing on February 3 1979 at the YMCA in Edinburgh the day after Sid Vicious died in New York City After a few gigs

bands with disco beats and guitar solos total shit in Watties words and the band went through a rapid succession of drummers one of whom allegedly left after a nervous breakdown The band was driven

Blanks 77 In the 2007 documentary Punks Not Dead both Wattie and Wullie Buchan are interviewed They are the only two native speakers in the documentary to be given subtitles as many North Americans

punk street punk and oi Originally playing street punk and oi The Exploited became a crossover thrash band with their album Death Before Dishonour The Exploiteds influences include Sex Pistols and Johnny Moped Lyrical themes and gigs The Exploited has been controversial for their aggressive lyrics and rowdy gigs They were considered cartoon punks by Ian Glasper Glasper wrote For many The Exploited were the quintessential second wave punk band with their sensessearing highspeed outbursts against the system and wildeyed frontman Walter Wattie Buchans archetypal orange mohican The Exploited are known for their lyrics about anarchy politics and antiauthority In a 1983 interview The Exploited said that they were not a political band but their lyrics became political in the late 1980s and Wattie Buchan said in the documentary Punks Not Dead that punk is defined by its politics As a band with lyrics that have anarchist themes The Exploiteds vocalist Wattie Buchan is an anarchist and openly hates politics The Exploited have made songs about former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and have expressed a disdainful view towards Thatcher The Exploiteds song Maggie a song from the bands album Horror Epics is about Thatcher The Exploiteds third studio album Lets Start a War Said Maggie One Day focuses on Margaret Thatcher and the Falklands War Other topics of the album are policedriven riots war unemployment and hopelessness Many songs from the mid80s focus on the threat of nuclear war The fans of The Exploited were nicknamed the Barmy Army During the rivalry between The Exploited and Conflict there were occasional clashes with fans of Conflict known as the Conflict Crew In addition to the antisocial behaviour of the band and some of their fans The Exploited would often pull out of gigs at short notice in the 1980s which led many venues to refuse to work with them After the 1981 Southall riot Oi bands in general became associated with racism and The Exploited were sometimes believed to be a racist band because of Watties swastika tattoo an incident in the early 80s where Wattie fought with a group of Asians in a cafe and in 1985 when Deptford John joined from the skinhead band Combat 84 The band has denied all accusations of racism As of August 2017 the bands website contains a history of the band that mentions some of the problems that have accompanied their gigs such as a riot after a gig at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park London when The Jam were playing nearby and Wattie incited the fans to attack the Mods and having declared onstage in Argentina that the Falkland Islands are British forever George Same has written about the fighting after the Finsbury Park gig in his book on modern music Backward Moddy Boy In a documentary about the band former manager Gem Howard said that he would often sneak the band out of hotels late as they would often vandalise the hotel and steal everything that they could from the

assurance that not everything that meets the eye is as it appears Case in point the scene youre watching This is not a hospital not a morgue not a mausoleum not an undertakers parlor of the future What it is is the belly of a spaceship It is en route to another planetary system an incredible distance from the Earth This is the crux of our story a flight into space It is also the story of the things that might happen to human beings who take a step beyond unable to Plot Commander Douglas Stansfield age 31 an astronaut in the year 1987 is scheduled in six months to be sent on an exploratory mission to a planetary system roughly 141 lightyears from Earth Although the spacecraft will travel at the rate of 70 times the speed of light the round trip will still take forty years To save him the ordeal of 40 years of loneliness he is to be placed in newly developed suspended animation for the twentyyear trip to his goal and again for the twentyyear return trip During his time in suspended animation he will age only a few weeks Shortly before his mission he meets and is enchanted by his young colleague Sandra Horn They meet that night after only three and half hours they declare their love for each other and lament the fact that when Stansfield returns Sandra will be an old woman Forty years later Stansfield returns to Earth a forgotten pioneer The discoveries he made on his mission were independently achieved earlier by technology developed after his departure Sandra is waiting for him still 26 and lovely She had herself put in suspended animation during Stansfields

years of inconceivable loneliness in the hope of being with Sandra when he returned Sandra offers to continue their relationship but the heartbroken After Sandra leaves General Walters offers some small consolation to the aged astronaut Stansfield youre really quite an incredible man It may be the one distinction of my entire life that I knew you that I knew a man who put such a premium on love

United States Language English Subjects Social anthropology Sociology Social psychology Publisher Anchor Books Publication date 1959 Media type Print Hardcover and Pages 251 Awards American Sociological Associations MacIver award 1961 9780140135718 OCLC 59624504 The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life is a 1956 sociology book by Erving Goffman in which the author uses the imagery of the theatre in order to portray the importance of human social interaction this would become known as Goffmans dramaturgical analysis approach Originally published in Scotland in 1956 and in the United States in 1959 it is Goffmans first and most famous book for which he received the American Sociological Associations MacIver award in 1961 In 1998 the International Sociological Association listed the work as the tenth most important sociological book of the twentieth century Contents 1 Background and summary 2 Reception 3 Selfpresentation theory 4 See also 5 6 External links Background and summary The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life was the first book to treat facetoface interaction as a subject of sociological study Goffman treated it as a kind of report in which he frames out the theatrical performance that applies to facetoface interactions He believed that when an individual comes in contact with other people that individual will attempt to control or guide the impression that others might make of him by changing or fixing his or her setting appearance and manner At the same time the person the individual is interacting with is trying to form and obtain information about the individual Goffman also believed that all participants in social interactions are engaged in practices to avoid being embarrassed or embarrassing others This led to Goffmans dramaturgical analysis Goffman saw a connection between the kinds of acts that people put on in their daily life and theatrical performances In social interaction as in theatrical performance there is a front region where the performers individuals are on stage in front of the audiences This is where the positive aspect of the idea of self and desired impressions are highlighted There is also a back region where individuals can prepare for or set aside their role The front or performance that an actor plays out includes manner or how the role is carried out and appearance including the dress and look of the performer Often performers work together in teams and form bonds of collegiality based on their common commitment to the performance they are mutually engaged in The core of Goffmans analysis lies in this relationship between performance and life Unlike other writers who have used this metaphor Goffman seems to take all elements of acting into consideration an actor performs on a setting which is constructed of a stage and a backstage the props in both settings direct his action he is being watched by an audience but at the same time he may be an audience for his viewers play According to Goffman the social actor in many areas of life will take on an already established role with preexisting front and props as well as the costume he would wear in front of a specific audience The actors main goal is to keep coherent and adjust to the different settings offered him This is done mainly through interaction with other actors To a certain extent this imagery bridges structure and agency enabling each while saying that structure and agency can limit each other A major theme that Goffman treats throughout the work is the fundamental importance of having an agreed upon definition of the situation in a given interaction which serves to give the interaction coherency In interactions or performances the involved parties may be audience members and performers simultaneously the actors usually foster impressions that reflect well upon themselves and encourage the others by various means to accept their preferred definition Goffman acknowledges that when the accepted definition of the situation has been discredited some or all of the actors may pretend that nothing has changed provided that they find this strategy profitable to themselves or wish to keep the peace For example when a person attending a formal dinner and who is certainly face Goffman avers that this type of artificial willed credulity happens on every level of social organization from top to bottom Since the metaphor of a theatre is the leading theme of the book the German and consequently also the Czech translation used a fitting summary as the name of the book We All PlayAct German Wir Alle Spielen Theater Czech Všichni hrajeme divadlo apart from the names in other languages that usually translate the title literally Another translation which also builds on the leading theatrical theme rather than the original title is the Swedish title of the book Jaget och Maskerna which literally translates The self and the masks A study of everydaylife drama Reception Philosopher Helmut R Wagner called The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life by far Goffmans best book and a still unsurpassed study of the management of impressions in facetoface encounters a form of not uncommon manipulation In 1998 the International Sociological Association listed The Presentation of Self in Everyday Life as the tenth most important sociological book of the twentieth century behind Talcott Parsons The Structure of Social Action 1937 Selfpresentation theory The book proposed a theory of self which has become known as selfpresentation theory and is still used by researchers in social media today including Kaplan and Haenleins Users of the World Unite 2010 Belks Extended Self in a Digital World 2013 and Nell Hayness Social Media in Northern Chile Posting the Extraordinarily Ordinary 2016 The theory suggests people have the desire to control the impressions that other people form about them See also Impression management References Macionis John J Gerber

Cornwall where she had moved to live with her husband Upon setting out Stevens reflects on his unshakable loyalty to Lord Darlington who had hosted lavish meetings between German sympathizers and English aristocrats in an effort to influence international affairs in the years leading up to World War II on the meaning of the term dignity and what constitutes a great butler and also on his relationship with his late father like him a nononsense man who dedicated his life to service Ultimately Stevens is forced to ponder Lord Darlingtons character and reputation as well as the true nature of his relationship with Miss Kenton As the book progresses evidence mounts of Miss Kentons and Stevens past mutual attraction and affection While they worked together during the years leading up to the Second World War Stevens and Miss Kenton failed to admit their true feelings toward one other Their conversations as recollected by Stevens show a professional friendship which at times came close to blossoming into romance but this was evidently a line that neither dared cross Stevens in particular never yielded even when Miss Kenton tried to draw closer to him When they finally meet again Mrs Benn having been married now for more than twenty years admits to wondering if she made a mistake in marrying but says she has come to love her husband and is looking forward to the birth of their first grandchild Stevens later muses over lost opportunities both with Miss Kenton and regarding his decades of selfless service to Lord Darlington who may not have been worthy of his unquestioning fealty At the end of the novel Stevens instead focuses on the titular remains of the day referring to his future service with Mr Farraday Characters Mr Stevens the narrator an English butler who serves at Darlington Hall a devoted man with high standards who is particularly concerned with dignity exemplified by the fact that the reader never learns his first name Miss Kenton the housekeeper at Darlington Hall later married as Mrs Benn Lord Darlington the owner of Darlington Hall a conference he holds between highranking diplomats is ultimately a failed effort toward appeasement talks between English and German powers this causes his political and social decline William Stevens Mr Stevens senior the 75yearold father of Mr Stevens serving as underbutler Stevens senior suffers a severe stroke during the conference at Darlington Hall his son was divided between serving and helping him Senator Lewis an American senator who criticises Lord Darlington as being an amateur in politics Mr Farraday the new American employer of Stevens Young Mr Cardinal the son of one of Lord Darlingtons closest friends and a journalist he is killed in Belgium during the Second World War M Dupont a highranking French politician who attends Lord Darlingtons conference On his motoring trip Stevens briefly comes into contact with several other characters They are mirrors to Stevens and show the reader different facets of his character they are also all kind and try to help him Two in particular Dr Carlisle and Harry Smith highlight themes in the book Themes Dignity The most important aspect of Stevens life is his dignity as an English butler Such aspects of refined dignity especially when applied under stressful situations are to Stevens what define a great butler As such Stevens constantly maintains an inward and outward sense of dignity to preserve his identity He had dedicated himself wholly to Lord Darlington These philosophies of dignity however greatly affect Stevens lifelargely with respect to social constraints loyalty and politics and love and relationships In preserving his dignity at the expense of emotion Stevens in a way loses his sense of humanity with respect to his Banter Banter is an underlying theme in the novel Stevens introduces it in the prologue as a problem which he considers his duty to solve in order to please Mr Farraday Stevens takes this new duty very seriously He ponders over it practises in his room and studies a radio programme called Twice a Week or More for its witticisms He practises banter with those he meets such as the locals in the Coach and Horses inn near Taunton but is unsuccessful He agonises over this yet fails to realise that it is his delivery that is lacking The true significance of banter becomes apparent at the end of the novel when Stevens has met the retired butler who strikes up a conversation with him and tells him to enjoy his old age Stevens then listens to the chatter of the people around him in a positive frame of mind and realises that banter is the key Social constraints The novel does not present Stevens situation as simply a personal one It seems clear that Stevens position as butler and servant has gradually made it impossible for him to live a fulfilling emotional life His father dies and Stevens is too occupied with worrying about whether his services are being carried out correctly to mourn something that he later reflects on with great pride Nor can Stevens bring himself to express feelings about personal matters as to do so would compromise his dignity Social rules at the time were a major constraint As the book reveals servants who wished Loyalty and politics Stevens is shown as totally loyal to Lord Darlington whose friendly approach towards Germany through his friendship to Mrs Charles Barnet also results in close contacts to rightwing extremist organisations such as the Blackshirts of Sir Oswald Mosley Due to this Lord Darlington also discharges two Jewish staff members a decision he comes to regret Lord Darlington also had contact with British and German diplomats In the chapter day four afternoon a meeting is described between the Prime Minister and German Ambassador Ribbentrop in the rooms of Darlingtons estate Stevens is quite incapable of believing his master to be wrong in this as Lord Darlingtons upbringing and heritage carry a certain type of dignity that is above and beyond Stevens own Love and relationships Stevens is arguably aware on some level of Miss Kentons feelings for him but he is unable to reciprocate Miss Kentons actions often leave Stevens bemused and puzzled but his recollections of past interactions between the two reveal to the reader certain lost possibilities of their relationship However Stevens is never able to acknowledge the complex feelings he possesses for Miss Kenton insisting only that they shared an excellent professional relationship It is not only the constraints of his social situation but also his own stunted emotional life that hold him back During their time at Darlington Hall Stevens chose Memory and perspective As with his other works Ishiguro uses the structural devices of memory and perspective within this novel Past events are presented from the viewpoint of the main protagonist the ageing Stevens elements of the past are presented as fragments apparently subconsciously censored by Stevens to present explicitly a description of past occurrences as he would have the reader understand them and implicitly to relay the fact that the information supplied is subjective On occasion the narrator acknowledges the potential inaccuracy of his recollections and this serves the reader by inviting him to question the pedigree of the information relayed by Allusions to real events The theme of the decline of the British aristocracy can be linked to the 1911 Parliament Act which reduced their power and to inheritance tax increases imposed after World War I which forced the breakup of many estates that had been passed down for generations The proGerman stance of Lord Darlington has parallels in the warm relations with Germany favoured by some British aristocrats in the early 1930s such as Lord Londonderry and Oswald Mosley Reception The Remains of the Day is one of the most highly regarded postwar British novels In

Contents 1 Plot 2 Production 3 Cast 4 Release 5 See also 6 7 External links Plot The film starts with news reporter Jose Antonio Pupo played by Carlos Vives interviewing a man after the movie events had taken place This gentleman who is also a tenant reveals to the journalist how the physical house where the tenants lived for so many years was taken to a different place by rudimentary but ingenious means The mans story in interwoven with the depiction of the events The building is an old one and it is home to different kinds of people All of them are humble and from diverse backgrounds They are told to leave the house because its owner a obnoxious rich man from Bogotás exclusive area has new plans for it The tenants are confronted with the authorities who are trying to evict everyone from the building Then the tenants decide to take a stand by locking doors and shooting at the policemen who try to carry out their orders After this confrontation the tenants are given more time so everyone in the house has enough time to find a new place to live The tenants are legally represented by Perro Romero Frank Ramirez who is annoyed by anyone using the nickname Perro meaning dog Romero is a man with some academic background and has the means to deal with the authorities and Dr Holguins the house owner lawyers Dr Holguin uses dirty tricks to create pressure on Romero to the extent that he is kidnapped and beaten by Dr Holguins men Meanwhile at the building Jacinto Fausto Cabrera an intellectual and rebellious Spaniard devices a way to remove everything inside the house walls windows bathtubs kitchens toilets roofs etc and have all of it moved to a piece of land located on the hills of western Bogotá Jacinto shows Perro Romero how it can be done by the use of a rope and pulley which he does by demonstrating him how the pulleys and ropes are used in theatrical stages to lift very heavy weights He does this on the stage of the Colón theater Jacinto is able to convince the rest of the tenants so everyone becomes a team player and helps in the construction of a tall wooden tower that would help move everything to another house couple of blocks away As the house is being dismantled by the tenants Misia Triana actress Delfina Guido accidentally finds the silhouette of virgin Mary on a wall Misia Triana a very religious lady who was the fiercest opponent of Jacintos project finally agrees with the condition of having the virgin moved first After going through a series of events and hazards the tenants are able to remove all the insides of the house but in order to gain more time Romero tells Dr Holguins lawyer Victor Honorio Mosquera Humberto Dorado that the tenants wanted to paint the house as a way to apologize for any inconvenience they might have caused to which Mosquera agrees As the deadline approaches the tenants have removed everything inside the house and have moved it to the hills by using horsedrawn wagons informally known in Bogotá as zorras By the time lawyers policemen and Dr Holguin himself eagerly approach the house to witness that the tenants have actually left they are surprised by a huge explosion and the collapsing of the houses facade After the dust and debris have dissipated they find a house painted in a wall with a graffiti style writing superimposed that reads Heres your motherfucking painted house The movie goes back again to news reporter Jose interviewing the man who is finally upset by a reporters question and so he leaves the scene Finally the tenants are shown gathered in one of the hills with a panoramic view of Bogotá and a Colombian flag can be seen waving Production The film was originally envisioned by Ramon Jimeno as an inspiration based on a story he had read in a newspaper about the removal of tenants in a house whose legal procedure had taken such a long time that by the time the authorities had to intervene they realized that the house no longer existed Although Jimeno had envisioned the movie several years before it was screenwriter and actor Humberto Dorado who finally shaped it into a dense 400 pages screenplay that eventually became the original screenplay and a blueprint for the film Later after the majority of it was filmed screenwriter Jorge Goldemberg came as an editing consultant and restructured the film but it was not only until Nobel Prize Gabriel García Márquez saw the pilot of the film and encouraged Sergio Cabrera to continue with the making of the film Because of budget problems and the lack of support of the Colombian government the film took four years to be fully completed In fact by the time the Colombian government was actually shutting down the cultural organizations that supported filmmakers such as Focine
