– Tobea Brink 5.5 Open letter to Chris – Russel Botman Preliminaries FOREWORD Looking to the future t the time of Prof. Chris Brink’s inauguration as seventh Vice- AChancellor and Rector one was aware, as is appropriate on such occasions, that the University of Stellenbosch had reached another milestone in its history. A milestone always takes one’s mind back to the route travelled so far; at the same time there is also a powerful expectation of what lies on the road ahead in the future. The words of the famous English poet, TS Eliot, who visited this country more than fifty years ago, are highly appropriate in trying to grasp a historical event: Time present and time past Are both perhaps present in time future. And time future contained in time past … And all is always now. In one of his essays Eliot also described the situation of a man with great individual talent who is called upon to take his place in a highly respected tradition: He is not likely to know what is to be done unless he lives in what is not merely the present, but the present moment of the past, not of what is dead, but of what is already living. In our contemplation of the multidimensional significance of a historical moment, we could also consider an image that appears in one of the earliest documents in the history of our alma mater: the Gedenkboek van het Victoria Kollege, published in 1918, the year in which Stellenbosch University was established as a fully-fledged institution for higher education. In this foundation year of the Univer- sity, this book looks back over the previous fifty years of the old College in which it has its roots. The occasion should thus be understood, say the compilers of the Gedenkboek, as “the meditative soliloquy of the fifty-year-old”, who is on the verge of taking on something new and great in the full conscious- ness of the responsibility of doing so.

  • "Those White Guys Are Working for Me": Dizzy Gillespie, Jazz, and the Cultural Politics of the Cold War During the Eisenhower Administration
    INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SCIENCE REVIEW 115 "THOSE WHITE GUYS ARE WORKING FOR ME": DIZZY GILLESPIE, JAZZ, AND THE CULTURAL POLITICS OF THE COLD WAR DURING THE EISENHOWER ADMINISTRATION By DAVID M. CARLETTA Convinced that cultural influence was linked to political and economic power, the Eisenhower administration (1953-61) sponsored America's premier jazz musicians' good- will tours abroad as part of its cultural foreign policy agenda. These tours helped the United States govemment in its global propaganda campaign against the Soviet Union and its communist allies, who widely reported and successfully exploited the racial tension and violence that accompanied the rise of the civil rights movement in the United States. These "jazz ambassadors" also helped the United States government counter claims made by communist propagandists that hyper-materialistic capitalists were "cultural barbarians" who produced commodities rather than sophisticated culture.' In short, they helped the Eisenhower administration combat communism during the early years of the Cold War. Wary that the Soviets were making political gains around the world through their cul- tural diplomacy offensive,^ the Eisenhower administration launched a two-pronged effort to counter communist propaganda activities. In August 1953, it established the United States Information Agency (USIA) an agency within the executive branch, separate from the State Department, to support American foreign policy objectives and national interests around the world. The agency was active in anticommunism propaganda, particularly efforts to refute the anti-capitalist rhetoric of TASS, the official news agency of the Soviet government. USIA's mass media activities were buttressed by its operation of libraries, cultural exhibits, and exchange programs overseas.^ One year later.

  • The Ambassadorial Lps of Dizzy Gillespie: World Statesman and Dizzy in Greece
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Carolina Digital Repository Journal of the Society for American Music (2016), Volume 10, Number 3, pp. 239–269. C The Society for American Music 2016 doi:10.1017/S1752196316000201 The Ambassadorial LPs of Dizzy Gillespie: World Statesman and Dizzy in Greece DARREN MUELLER Abstract In 1956, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie became the first jazz musician to participate in the State Department’s Cultural Presentations program, a highly public aspect of U.S. Government’s Cold War propaganda efforts abroad. Seeking to capitalize on this historic moment, Gillespie’s record company issued two LPs featuring his ambassadorial ensemble: World Statesman (1956) and Dizzy in Greece (1957). To date, scholarship about the tours highlights how Gillespie skillfully navigated the shifting political landscape both on and off the bandstand. The role that commercial record making played in the renegotiation of African Americans’ social position during this era, however, remains undertheorized. This article reveals how, despite the albums’ claims of representation from abroad, the LPs contain only a small portion of Gillespie’s tour repertoire. I argue that these LPs were never meant to document the tours with veracity; rather, they were products of a political and technological moment when Gillespie’s record label could leverage musical diplomacy to circulate an elevated vision for jazz within the country’s cultural hierarchy. In 1956, Dizzy Gillespie became the first jazz musician

The Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf) was inaugurated in May 1996. It was formed in response to the need for an Acade- my of Science consonant with the dawn of democracy in South Africa: activist in its mission of using science and scholarship for the benefit of society, with a mandate encompassing all scholarly disciplines that use an open-minded and evidence-based approach to build knowledge. ASSAf thus adopted in its name the term ‘science’ in the singular as reflecting a common way of enquiring rather than an aggregation of different disciplines. Its Members are elected, based on a combination of two principal criteria: academic excellence and significant contributions to society. The Parliament of South Africa passed the Academy of Science of South Africa Act (No 67 of 2001), which came into force on 15 May 2002. This made ASSAf the only academy of science in South Africa officially recognised by government and representing the country in the international community of science academies and elsewhere.
