  • A SOUTH AFRICAN MEDEA at the START of the 21ST CENTURY Betine Van Zyl Smit
    http://akroterion.journals.ac.za medEia – A SOUTH AFRICAN MEDEA AT THE START OF THE 21ST CENTURY Betine van Zyl Smit (University of Nottingham) Medea is ubiquitous on the stages of the modern world. From Greece and continental Europe, the British Isles and North America the unforgettable protagonist of Euripides’ tragedy has travelled further, to South America, Japan and as far as South Africa. The earliest recorded performances of Medea in South Africa seem to be burlesques that were very popular in Cape Town in the mid 19th century1. These shows were probably attended by British expatriates who, although they were far from home, were being offered fare that would be familiar to Londoners of the same period. In fact Robert Brough’s burlesque of Legouvé’s adaptation of the Medea (Medea, or, the Best of Mothers with a Brute of a Husband), which was a great success in London in 1856,2 was apparently as popular in Cape Town where it was staged repeatedly in 1858 and during the next decade3. This illustrates the close bond between entertainment in London and the chief city of a far-off colony. During the 20th century, various translations, into either of the official languages, English or Afrikaans4, of Euripides’ Medea or, often, Anouilh’s adaptation, were staged. Gradually, and more markedly from the 1970s onwards, as was the case with the performing arts in general, a stronger local element was introduced into the productions5. Thus for example, in 1977, Barney Simon directed a multiracial cast in his version of Grillparzer’s Medea at The Space6, a theatre famous for its support for alternative productions.

    Published in: Kelly, P. and Kamp, A. 2014. A Critical Youth Studies for the 21st Century. Leiden: Brill. (pp. 317-332) CHAPTER EIGHTEEN FOSTERING COMPLICIT FEMININITY: EPOCH, EDUCATION AND THE YOUNG FEMALE BODY Majella McSharry and Brendan Walsh Introduction: Recent Practices and Historical Antecedents Prior to 1878, post-primary schooling in Ireland was dominated by religious provision and throughout the 20th Century Catholic congregations, in particular, operated the majority of such schools. As we see below, there is much evidence to support the position that young, female bodies were heavily regulated in these schools. Historically, such regulation was as much a result of wider social constraint as it was particular to Catholicism. However, given that those girls who secured post-primary schooling before the advent of free education in 1966, and the majority of those that have passed through secondary schooling since then, attended Catholic convent institutions, they provide a useful starting place in surveying the regulation of the young, female body. They also allow us to identify to what extent traditional notions of femininity have succumbed to more hyper-sexualised versions of young women in a world where the body as commodity has become normalized. This chapter seeks to explore the regulation of the schoolgirl body within the Irish secondary school landscape. In doing so it describes historic practices that reinforced stereotypical behaviours for young women of school and university-going age and discusses how these practices find striking resonances in contemporary schooling. Our focus is on one aspect of regulation – that of the body. Through the body, that form by which we so often seek self- definition and are defined, that to which we are so intimately bound, regulation becomes immediate and in some instances all-encompassing.

  • Title in Arial Bold 22 Pt TECHNICAL REPORT
    TECHNICAL REPORT 2008/09 Title in Arial bold 22 pt Subtitle in Arial regular 14 pt ENGLISH SECTION PARTIE FRANÇAISE DEUTSCHER TEIL STATISTICS PHOTO: POTTS / PA WIRE / PA IMAGES TECHNICAL REPOrt This report has been published as a record of the 2008/09 UEFA Champions League, which was the competition’s seventeenth season. In addition to the factual and statistical data that make it a valuable reference work, it contains analysis, reflections and debating points which, it is hoped, will give technicians food for thought and, by highlighting tendencies and trends at the peak of professional football, also offer coaches who are active at the development levels of the game information that may be helpful in terms of working on the qualities which will be needed by the UEFA Champions League performers of the future. Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand can only watch as Lionel Messi jumps just far enough upwards and backwards to deliver the looping header which put FC Barcelona 2-0 up in the 70th minute of the final in Rome. THE ROADS THAT LED TO ROME Distance is meant to lend perspective, but it can also blur the vision. The fact that the neutrals who, when the group stage kicked off in September, predicted a Manchester United v Barcelona final were watching it just over eight months later gives the impression that the 124-match pilgrimage to Rome had been a relentless march towards a foregone conclusion. That was by no means the case. It is easy to forget that FC Barcelona won only half of their home games, or that they were being counted out during the final seconds of their heavyweight semi-final contest with Chelsea – only for Andrés Iniesta to produce the stunning drive which earned a trip to Rome.

  • Football Agents in the Biggest Five European Football Markets an Empirical Research Report
    FOOTBALL AGENTS IN THE BIGGEST FIVE EUROPEAN FOOTBALL MARKETS AN EMPIRICAL RESEARCH REPORT FEBRUARY 2012 Raffaele Poli, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Giambattista Rossi, João Havelange Scholarship, Birkbeck University (London) With the collaboration of Roger Besson, CIES Football Observatory, University of Neuchâtel Football agent portrayed by the Ivorian woodcarver Bienwélé Coulibaly Executive summary While intermediaries acting in the transfers of footballers have existed since almost the birth of the professional game, the profession of agent was not officially recognised until 1991 when FIFA established the first official licensing system. In November 2011, there were 6,082 licensed agents worldwide: 41% of them were domiciled within countries hosting the big five European leagues: England, Spain, Germany, Italy and France. This research project firstly investigates shares in the representation market of players in the five major European championships. By presenting the results of a survey questionnaire, it analyses the socio-demographic profile of licensed football agents in the above mentioned countries, the business structure of their activity, the different kinds of services provided, and the way in which they are performed from a relational point of view (network approach). The analysis of shares highlights that the big five league players’ representation market is highly concentrated: half of the footballers are managed by 83 football agents or agencies. Our study reveals the existence of closed relational networks that clearly favors the concentration of players under the control of few agents. Footballers are not equally distributed between intermediaries. Conversely, dominant actors exist alongside dominated agents. One fifth of the agents having answered to our questionnaire manage the career of half of the players represented on the whole.

Pointing out that media education has been variously described in South Africa as visual literacy, mass media studies, teleliteracy, and film studies, or as dealing with educational technology or educational media, the introduction cites a definition of media education as an exploration of contemporary culture alongside more traditional literary texts. It is noted that this definition raises issues for education as a whole, for traditional language study, for media, for communication, and for u0erstanding the world. The 37 selected papers in this collection are presented in seven categories: (1) Why Media Education? (keynote paper by Bob Ferguson); (2) Matters Educational (10 papers on media education and visual literacy); (3) Working Out How Media Works (4 papers on film studies, film technology, and theory); (4) Creating New Possibilities for Media Awareness (9 papers on film and television and 4 on print media);(5) Training and Empowering (2 papers focusing on teachers and 4 focusing on training producers); (6) Media Developing Media Awareness (2 papers); and (7) Afterthoughts (I paper).

The work is no longer maintained and so contains dated references to people of the time. The definitions are my interpretation of explanations from Brits with whom I came in contact and hence may not be complete or even totally accurrate. The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except, of course, language." Oscar Wilde "Giving English to an American is like giving sex to a child. He knows it's important but he doesn't know what to do with it." Adam Cooper (19th century) "We (the British and Americans) are two countries separated by a common language." G.B. Shaw The Englishman commented to the American about the "curious" way in which he pronounced so many words, such as schedule (pronounced shedule). The American thought about it for a few moments, then replied, "Perhaps it's because we went to different shools!"
