Book talk with Dr Hugh Thomas - on your book "Power and Pleasure" (OUP 2021)
Dear Hugh,
Greetings! I enjoyed your book talk re 'Dr Hugh Thomas on your book "Power and Pleasure" ' OUP 2021, which I found and watched on Youtube on Thanksgiving yesterday.
How are you doing? I thought too to call you to say hi on Thanksgiving, but may do so over the next few days instead.
Appreciating the sources' approaches you shared, and the ' social theory' and historiographical approaches to this ancient subject:
Book Talk with Dr. Hugh Thomas: Power and Pleasure, Court Life Under King John, 1199-1216
I added these references to the History wiki school at MIT OCW-centric World Univ & Sch - https://wiki.

I can't see from your talk how a realistic virtual earth for history (thinking Google Street View with a time slider) would be a helpful research tool, but perhaps your book itself would offer new avenues and resources, like images to build this from.
I looked up your "Power and Pleasure" in World Catalog (https://search.worldcat.org/ - in which library locations for my "Naked Harbin Ethnography" can be found for physical copies) to see where I might find your book in Pittsburgh, and it looks like it's available at Carlow College and Robert Morris College and Westminster College.
I thought to ask some questions during the talk about the way the Magna Carta fits further into your King John narratives (and possibly about Edward I too ... but may wait until we speak or see each other).
All the best, thanks, talk with you soon potentially,
Scott
Have blogged a bit about this today as well -

Have you used or can you see using WikiTree for your medieval historical research Hugh ? -
Here are some of my Wikitree genealogy platform explorations into ancestors, and for example, search on:

"I just wiki-added a few more ancestors in WikiTree genealogy software to make it possible to go from moi to Major General Benjamin Lincoln ( who is supposed to have accepted the sword of surrender from the British and fought also in a battle called Shay's Rebellion near the Springfield armory in MA in 1786-87) in my Chadbourne line - "

Hi Hugh,
Thanks again for your informative and interesting and great book talk - https://www.youtube.com/
As I think further about your presentation, and particularly a #
1
research the 13 miles a day claim for the movement of the court of king john for example ... with ethno-wiki-virtual-world-
Also,
2
social theories '(not Marxist, not Foucauldian, but as trenchant) critiques of the medieval monarchy and court of King John, for example?) came to mind early this morning too ...
3
And I may be able to address these questions from a Castellian perspective, and regarding creating an emerging realistic virtual earth for history in 1 realistic virtual earth ... in my upcoming 6th book "Society, Information Technology and the Global University"
Scott

Hugh,
Some further thinking, and appreciation for your book talk -
I appreciate, too, the moral and ethical sensibilities that emerge from you in your presentation ... but wonder about the implications of history very broadly in recapitulating and interpreting criminal behavior for example ...
But I also appreciate what could even an "ideological" 'move' to return in your presentation to the 'magna carta' as a seminal text of 'law" ... and regarding even addressing questions of slavery, and possibly 'race, class, gender" contemporary social science foci ... and re even the words' "king john" and ideological implications of his possibly 'atrocity reign' ... as model tragically ... Oxford University Press out-of-America thinking-wise too ...
Scott
PS
Brainstorming-wise, have you done or seen any highest quality analyses, for example, of the folk rock music of Steeleye Span ballads et al., (e.g. Pentangle too - both from the late 1960s and early 1970s) as a kind of history?

My apologies, Scott, for being slow to respond to your emails on my book talk—it’s been a hectic semester so I took a break from responding to emails over the holiday weekend. And thanks very much for listening to the book talk! In terms of your big questions, I have to admit to a fair amount of hesitation about fitting my work into the big theoretical frameworks of Marx and Foucault, for all of their importance in thinking about power. To the extent I fit into theoretical frameworks, I probably depended more on Pierre Bourdieu’s thinking about cultural capital. I’m afraid I’m not familiar enough with Castells’ organizational theory to discuss that intelligently, but in that arena I have been influenced a little by actor network theory. In terms of digital humanities, there is an old website out there that traces John’s itinerary, although unfortunately they clearly ran out of money. There are certainly lots of possibilities with GIS for all this, but I’m afraid I lack the computational expertise to take advantage of them.
Best,
Hugh

With David Thurston on Thanksgiving ~ Flying cars in the future, and with Google Street View as air traffic control, possibly?
Scott -
Happy Thanksgiving, David! Fond regards Scott (virtual Thanksgiving tomorrow evening -http://scott-macleod.
Hi David, any chance you can fly up here in a flying car with Google Maps' air traffic routing for a hike here -Clarion River Loop on AllTrails

Hey Scott,
Happy Thanksgiving! I've been working flat out and then got in the car and I'm in North Carolina with cousins on my mother's side 60s and sunny very nice. Enjoy your holiday.
Scott -
Hi David! Sounds like a great trip to your cousins, mother's side of your family, in North Carolina! Happy Thanksgiving ! 2 hours northeast of Pittsburgh around the Marienville Ranger station, near where a regional Rainbow Gathering may have occurred in 2021, for a hike was an exploration, but no Rainbow people - Heading west to a newly safe open 670 Ridgecrest Rd Canyon 94516 in the new year has much appeal - and thanks to Ed Smyth MD's precipitation in March 2022 fwd! I'm glad/hope the climate scientists and lawyers are getting global climate change modeling and planning right - found gas in Ford City Pennsylvania (could there be some PA oil derricks very close by even), for $1.95/gallon for 88 octane gas (down from $2.96 /gallon last time I filled up at the Scheetz's gas station where 87 octane costs around $3.49 there these days) ... Hoping if flying cars are developed that we can add a sail or hang gliding aspect to gas or solar etc propelled motors. ... Happy Thanksgiving with your family! I hope to get my mother at the PIT airport tomorrow at 7 coming back from visiting Sandy in Portland ME And to go out for a Thanksgiving dinner at 'Burgh Thai restaurant near her place (if you'd like to join virtually, see at bottom . . . http://scott-macleod.blogspot.
