SHORT SYNOPSIS The Workers Cup is set inside the labor camps of Qatar, where the World Cup is being built on the backs of 1.6 million migrant workers. The film follows a team of laborers living a real-life version of fantasy football. By day they sweat to build the World Cup; by night they compete in a “workers welfare” football tournament, playing in the same stadiums that will one day host the world’s greatest players. We join one team of men from Nepal, India, Ghana, and Kenya whose only common ground is their love for football. Each match offers them a momentary escape from the homesickness and isolation they endure as the lowest class in the world’s richest country. LONG SYNOPSIS In 2022, Qatar will host the biggest sporting event in the world, the FIFA World Cup. -
Al Jazeera's Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia
Al Jazeera’s Expansion: News Media Moments and Growth in Australia PhD thesis by publication, 2017 Scott Bridges Institute of Governance and Policy Analysis University of Canberra ABSTRACT Al Jazeera was launched in 1996 by the government of Qatar as a small terrestrial news channel. In 2016 it is a global media company broadcasting news, sport and entertainment around the world in multiple languages. Devised as an outward- looking news organisation by the small nation’s then new emir, Al Jazeera was, and is, a key part of a larger soft diplomatic and brand-building project — through Al Jazeera, Qatar projects a liberal face to the world and exerts influence in regional and global affairs. Expansion is central to Al Jazeera’s mission as its soft diplomatic goals are only achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of the state benefactor, much as a commercial broadcaster’s profit is achieved through its audience being put to work on behalf of advertisers. This thesis focuses on Al Jazeera English’s non-conventional expansion into the Australian market, helped along as it was by the channel’s turning point coverage of the 2011 Egyptian protests. This so-called “moment” attracted critical and popular acclaim for the network, especially in markets where there was still widespread suspicion about the Arab network, and it coincided with Al Jazeera’s signing of reciprocal broadcast agreements with the Australian public broadcasters. Through these deals, Al Jazeera has experienced the most success with building a broadcast audience in Australia. After unpacking Al Jazeera English’s Egyptian Revolution “moment”, and problematising the concept, this thesis seeks to formulate a theoretical framework for a news media turning point. -

Así, frente al saber libresco se establece un conocimiento de primera mano que va creando leyendas en torno a arqueólogos, geó- grafos, antropólogos u hombres de acción, nombres que transforman la percepción de la contemporaneidad. Muchos de estos nombres renovadores del conoci- miento dictaron charlas en la Residencia de Estudian- tes planteando una faceta de conocimiento básica para comprender la tarea educativa que esta institución se había propuesto desde sus inicios: las excursiones, los viajes. Considerando las fechas tempranísimas de aquellas conferencias, al poco tiempo de sus grandes descubrimientos y aventuras, se podría decir que los acontecimientos internacionales se conocieron en Madrid en tiempo real. Y parece imprescindible tener en cuenta este particular, porque solemos hablar de la Residencia de Estudiantes como punto de encuen- tro de las vanguardias, olvidando a menudo cómo entre sus muchas actividades ocupó un lugar esencial y sistemático la visita de aquellos descubridores, arqueólogos y viajeros entre 1923 y 1936. -

The Chronicle 2016-2017
St Hugh’s College Oxford A record of news, events and achievements within the St Hugh’s College community for the academic year 2016-17 CHRONICLE October 2016 - September 2017 ST HUGH’S COLLEGE CHRONICLE 2016-17 Editorial Benjamin Jones, Editor There are many remarkable achievements to celebrate in this edition of the Chronicle. It has been a genuine pleasure to co-edit this publication with Dr Olga Borymchuk (History, 2001), and a valuable and welcome opportunity for me to get an introduction to the St Hugh’s alumni community, across many generations. St Hugh’s is a very special college, and it has been immediately clear from all who have written to me what a profound effect their time here had on them and the course of their lives. These celebrations are necessarily tempered with sadness at the loss of many alumni over the course of the year, including our oldest, Wenda Reynolds (English Language and Literature, 1934), who lived a very full life and reached the extraordinary age of 103 in good health. Tragically, we note in this edition of the Chronicle the death of Jamie Gardiner (History, 2013), who died in January 2017. The Chronicle is just one way in which we can strengthen the links between the College today and our alumni, but its pages are limited and of course there is a vast amount that is not as widely known as it ought to be. If you have something you would like our wider community to know about, whether it is the publication of a book, a marriage or the birth of a child, write to us and we will be delighted to share your news in next year’s edition. -

Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org) John Morris at Keio University 1938–1942* William Snell The two best known of the private universities [in Tokyo] are Waseda and Keio. It was to Keio that I got myself transferred when I could no longer stand the prison-like atmosphere of my first university. Keio, which was founded earlier than any of the government institutions, is the oldest university in Japan, and in my opinion the finest in the country. Its founder was a man of extremely liberal views, and it used to be known as “The English University”, because most of the instruction there was formerly given in that language. Traveller from Tokyo (1943), p.45. Introduction Probably the most interesting British lecturer to have taught at Keio is John Morris (C. J. Morris, 1895–1980), C.B.E., adventurer, intellectual and music lover, participant in two Everest expeditions, and Controller of the BBC classical music Third Programme (later Radio 3) from 1952 until his * I would like to thank my mother, Ellen Snell, for introducing me to Traveller from Tokyo and thereby to John Morris; also the Royal Geographical Society and the BBC Photo Library for permission to publish illustrations figs 1 and 2. -

Some of these films focused on migrant workers building World Cup facilities, but they only told a small portion of the story, and the workers themselves were often portrayed as victims.

POV Community Engagement & Education DISCUSSION GUIDE The Workers Cup A Film by Adam Sobel www.pbs.org/pov LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKER When Qatar won the right to host the 2022 World Cup, a spotlight was shined on this very secretive country. Journal - ists from around the world attempted to access labor camps and construction sites, but they were stopped and in some cases even arrested. Because our filmmaking team lived in Qatar, we had the relationships and knowledge needed to ne - gotiate access to the camps. Our team has worked together in Qatar for many years pro - ducing films for outlets that include CNN, BBC and HBO. Some of these films focused on migrant workers building World Cup facilities, but they only told a small portion of the story, and the workers themselves were often portrayed as victims. Many times we were obligated to hide the identities of our contributors or to shoot undercover. These stories still offered important insight, but they lacked the intimacy that I believe leads to deep understanding. In order to make a film of which workers could be proud, I aimed to capture the complexity of their experiences and push beyond the common narrative that migrant workers are casualties of circumstance. My hope is that our film will cre - ate empathy rather than sympathy for them. At its heart, The Workers Cup is a sports film and it employs the narrative conventions of the genre that have proven so effective over time. In particular, I’ve been inspired by docu - mentaries about amateur competitions that serve as power - ful illustrations of our social structures and the human spirit. -

In the years in which it has been in existence members have made high endeavours and attained high achievement. As always in the mountains there is risk. Even an easy path over steep ground may mean danger. There have even been deaths in the mountains —mercifully few- and the memory of them is a salutary reminder of the seriousness with which the sport of mountaineering should be undertaken. Yet we climb for pleasure, and rightly. As in any sport there is the pleasure of physically putting our bodies to the test. -
Narrating Nanga Parbat GERMAN HIMALAYA EXPEDITIONS and the FICTIONAL (RE-)CONSTRUCTION of NATIONAL IDENTITY
17 Narrating Nanga Parbat GERMAN HIMALAYA EXPEDITIONS AND THE FICTIONAL (RE-)CONSTRUCTION OF NATIONAL IDENTITY Harald Höbusch is Assistant Professor of German Studies at the University of Kentucky, USA. His research focuses on the cultural representations of German, British and French mountaineering expeditions between 1919 and 1953. For both British and German mountaineering, the year 2003 carried significance beyond any date in recent sports history. While the British climbing community had occasion to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest on 29 May 1953 by Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, their German counterparts were able to commemorate the first successful climb of Nanga Parbat by Hermann Buhl on 3 July 1953. British and German mountaineering, however, do not simply share in this important date. In fact, their mountaineering histories are inextricably linked by the obsession with which the elusive goals of Mount Everest and Nanga Parbat had been pursued from the 1920s through the 1950s. Finally, and most importantly, these two mountains and the various efforts directed at them over a period of several decades would serve as a virtual backdrop against which both Britain and Germany would explore, debate and define their particular notions of identity, empire and nation. For Great Britain, these processes have been described and documented in great detail by alpine historians such as Gordon T. Stewart, Peter H. Hansen, Walt Unsworth, Audrey Salkeld and others. Thanks to their work, we possess a definitive mountaineering history of Everest (Unsworth),1 a bibliog- raphy of all writings about Everest (Salkeld),2 and a fascinating discourse about the cultural meaning (s) of the first ascent of Everest in Great Britain and beyond (Stewart, Hansen) .3 German scholars, in contrast, have only very recently begun to explore and map the complex historical and cultural space occupied by Nanga Parbat.
