Johannesburg’s grandest old colonial club seeks new image ith its imposing columned facade, hunting tro- phies and oil portraits, the Rand Club in WJohannesburg’s city center is a relic of South Africa’s colonial and apartheid past. Founded in 1887 by British mining magnate Cecil Rhodes, it was the favored venue for white businessmen and free-wheeling gold prospectors to strike deals and socialize in the hushed library or at the 31-metre-long (102-feet) teak bar, reput- edly the longest in Africa. But Alicia Thompson, a black woman born in Johannesburg, is seeking to reposition the club, which has struggled to stay open in recent years, by attracting the city’s “young hustlers” of today while pre- serving its heritage. Thompson, a 46-year-old beauty business owner who is the club’s deputy chairman, said that she had faced “not one iota of resistance” in her efforts to haul the club into the modern era. “I grew up in Johannesburg, I frequented the city and I used to see this building that I was not Rand Club members, Larry Khumalo (right) and Angus allowed to enter,” said Thompson. “It was this hallowed, Macarthur pose for a portrait before the Club’s Christmas ivory tower and I didn’t know what happened inside.

  • Harry Potter Influences and Analogues from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia (Edited by Cody Mccormack)
    Harry Potter influences and analogues From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Edited by Cody McCormack) Writer J. K. Rowling cites several writers as influences in her creation of her bestselling Harry Potter series. Writers, journalists and critics have noted that the books also have a number of analogues; a wide range of literature, both classical and modern, which Rowling has not openly cited as influences. The Dark Is Rising Susan Cooper's Dark Is Rising sequence of stories (commenced with Over Sea, Under Stone in 1965 and now more commonly bound in a single volume) have been compared to the Harry Potter series. The sequence's second volume, also called The Dark Is Rising, features a young boy named Will Stanton who, much like Harry Potter, discovers on his eleventh birthday that he is in fact imbued with magical power; in Will's case, that he is the last of the Old Ones, beings empowered by the Light to battle the Dark. The books open in much the same way, with Will finding that people are telling him strange things and that animals run from him.[46] John Hodge, who wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of The Dark Is Rising, made a number of very substantial changes to the novel's plot and tone deliberately to differentiate it from Harry Potter.[47] A Wizard of Earthsea The basic premise of Ursula K. Le Guin's A Wizard of Earthsea (1968), in which a boy with unusual aptitude for magic is recognised, and sent to a special school for wizards, resembles that of Harry Potter.[48] The hero encounters Jasper, a typically unpleasant Draco-like rival, in the Flashman tradition.[49] Le Guin has claimed that she doesn't feel Rowling "ripped her off", but that she felt that Rowling's books were overpraised for supposed originality, and that Rowling "could have been more gracious about her predecessors.

  • Brexit and the Divided Kingdom
    Prof. Dr. Joanna Rostek, University of Giessen Prof. Dr. Anne-Julia Zwierlein, University of Regensburg Prof. Dr. Ina Habermann, University of Basel Call for Papers Special Issue of the Journal for the Study of British Cultures Brexit and the Divided Kingdom Although it is yet too early to draw conclusions about the ongoing public debate on Brexit, Britain’s tight vote to leave the European Union has certainly been read as a manifestation of deep divisions across the country. Political scientists Robert Ford and Matthew Goodwin claim in “Britain after Brexit: A Nation Divided” (2017) that “for all the country’s political parties, articulating and responding to the divisions that were laid bare in the Brexit vote will be the primary electoral challenge of tomorrow.” The divisions brought into focus since the referendum are indeed manifold: 52% vs. 48%; England vs. Scotland vs. Wales vs. Northern Ireland; city vs. countryside; liberal vs. conservative; old vs. young; high vs. low level of education; affluent vs. poor; professional vs. manual; migrant vs. non- migrant, ‘elite’ vs. ‘the people’, etc. Importantly, these rifts are multi-dimensional, intersectional, and far from neatly binary, as they cut across the political spectrum, uprooting and reorganising traditional allegiances and socio-cultural affinities. The complex motivations behind the Brexit vote thus make visible the need to critically revisit established concepts of social and cultural analysis (such as cosmopolitanism, populism, nationalism, sovereignty, etc.) and to probe their heuristic value for explaining recent social, political, and cultural developments. This need is also borne out by the multi-faceted and contradictory reactions to the referendum across politics, the media, and culture.
