This paper examines the emergence, over the past three decades, of innovative folklore motifs in "The Hunting of the Earl of Rone," in the Devon village of Combe Martin. This calendar custom, which was extant prior to 1837, was reconstructed in 1970 and has now become an established annual tradition. Detailed records of the source, stimulus and function of the various "new" elements (including plant-lore, dance steps, cross-dressing and rites of passage) show that individual creativity and group aesthetics have operated in constant tension to evolve the custom as it is today.

The arms race between the superpowers made spying on science and technology very important during the Cold War. However, whether Western secret services managed to recruit valuable sources in the research laboratories of the Soviet Union is a subject about which very little is known. This article shows that in the early 1960s the distinguished East German physicist Heinz Barwich did indeed spy for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) within the Joint Institute of Nuclear Research, near Moscow. It also demonstrates that the Berlin Wall, built in 1961, had a considerable impact on Western espionage in East Germany.

In 1990, the existence of a secret anti-Communist stay-behind army in Italy, codenamed 'Gladio' and linked to NATO, was revealed. Subsequently, similar stay-behind armies were discovered in all NATO countries in Western Europe. Based on parliamentary and governmental reports, oral history, and investigative journalism, the essay argues that neutral Switzerland also operated a stay-behind army. It explores the role of the British secret service and the reactions of the British and the Swiss governments to the discovery of the network and investigates whether the Swiss stay-behind army, despite Swiss neutrality, was integrated into the International NATO stay-behind network.

In this interview, Catherine Belsey discusses the development of her work in English literature, critical and cultural theory, and cultural criticism over the last twenty-five years. She discusses the emergence and subsequent institutionalisation of 'theory' in the English-speaking world;her first encounter with poststructuralism, in the form of Barthes's S/Z;the importance of Lacanian psychoanalysis to her work;and the challenge posed by the new discipline of cultural criticism to both English literature and cultural studies in their traditional forms.
