“…16 The self-reflexive nature of Gladman's work might be a common feature of New Narrative, but it is also distinctly characterized by a desire to think through, and to reattach her writing to, its cultural, material, and topographical context, its "conditions of emergence"; thus the "task of prose" becomes, for Gladman, "to explore the habitability of these conditions." 17 At least in part, this habitability refers to Gladman's own identity:…”

This article considers the interrelation between capitalist modernity as ecological crisis and the crisis of the textual economy in Renee Gladman’s experimental novels set in the fictional city-state of Ravicka (2010–2017). The article shows how Gladman attempts to reposition the experimental work within the world-literary field by framing the text itself as ecological, at once implicated in cultural and geopolitical modes of production and circulation, and generative in terms of speculative world-building. The article focuses on Gladman’s exploration of urban space and architecture in relation to ecological catastrophe, and draws comparisons with other speculative designs, such as the People’s Parliament of Rojava in Northern Syria. While Gladman’s eroding architectural-linguistic landscape translates world-ecological issues like forced displacement, race, gender, pollution, and unevenly distributed forms of eco-political violence, her texts also problematize projection and allegorical modes of reading, signaling the abstraction of social relations in modernity. The article suggests that Gladman’s experimental writing ultimately hopes to open a new space of relational, embodied thinking while finding creative energy and resilience within the political constraints of literary production.

“…This had first been noted during the First World War. 64 As demonstrated from its frequent mentions in army co-operation exercise reports, however, it was something that had been lost by both Services. If the army had their way, this would not be an issue as the air force commander would be an integral part of the army's command structure.…”

“…It appears, from the available evidence, that the army was willing to publish some of the ideas that emerged from the inter-war exercises into their own operational pamphlets, but these ideas were not necessarily implemented when the BEF took the field in 1939. 82 The inter-service arguments were still very much over the operational control of tactical air resources and the correct way to apply air power at the tactical level. This does not, however, detract from the ideas that emerged during the inter-war period or the work that went into developing them and the guidance they gave to those looking to further develop the RAF's tactical air support capabilities during the Second World War.…”

“…It also meant that the RAF would go to France with an incomplete doctrine that would require a great deal of improvisation from both individual pilots and lower level commanders to be successful. 83 The improvisation that emerged from the Battle of France 1940 will be subject to greater analysis below. Despite these advancements in the white heat of active operations, the strategic and operational nature of the fighting meant that there was very little impact the RAF could have on the overall result of the Battle of France.…”

Debate, Discussion, and Disagreement: A Reassessment of the Development of British Tactical Air Power Doctrine, 1919–1940

This article investigates the work conducted by the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the development of tactical air power in the interwar period. It analyses the RAF’s theoretical doctrinal thinking during the period along with exercises conducted on a joint Service basis to further develop these ideas in practice. It will argue that, rather than neglecting tactical air power during this period as is the accepted view, much good theoretical work was done that formed a theoretical and intellectual basis for the further development of tactical air power in the light of operational experience during the Second World War.
