I was a junior lecturer at the University of Zimbabwe at the time, just embarking on this line of research. San Francisco, Califor- nia, where the panel was being held, seemed like an awfully long way to go, but Steve convinced me. It proved to be a worthwhile investment, to say the least, to establish connections with people at the very beginning of what was to become a vibrant and critically important field of study. It was there that Steve mooted his idea to me for a book that spoke directly to my intentions in the paper I presented—that is, to provide a base of empirical evidence that confounded the emerging political homophobia in Zimbabwe and, subsequently, more widely on the continent; to balance the prevailing dominance of South Africa with material from other regions of Africa; and to challenge the silences and rhetorical claims about female-female sexuality. My eventual chapter in that book Boy-Wives and Female Husbands (BWFH) was my first substantive publication on the topic and helped set me on a most rewarding career path. Steve and I had several small and enjoyable collaborations over the years that followed. I greatly admired his boldness and was thankful that I was never at the receiving end of his critical gaze. In 2017, when I heard that his health was failing, I contacted colleagues and friends to organize xiii xiv Foreword to the Second Edition some reflection on Steve’s and his co-editor Will Roscoe’s contributions to the development of sexuality studies in Africa. This became a lively roundtable discussion at the Canadian Association of African Studies annual conference held at Queen’s University, Kingston, in May 2018, coinciding with the 20th anniversary of BWFH’s publication. This, in turn, became a forum in the Canadian Journal of African Studies (CJAS), which brought Steve together with two of the other original contributors to the book and several young African and Africanist scholars (Epprecht et al. 2018). Authors to the forum acknowledged weaknesses (more on this below), but they generally saw the book as having had a powerful kick-start effect on research into same-sex sexuality and gender diversity in Africa. Among other outcomes, it led in an almost direct line through Deborah Amory to the creation of the International Resources Network (IRN)–Africa based at the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies at City University of New York. IRN-Africa was an attempt to bridge the gaps between conventional aca- demic research and activist or journalistic advocacy. Two further conferences aiming to mentor a new generation of African scholar-activists followed in Saly, Senegal (2005; the first time the topic was broached in a conference setting outside of South Africa) and Syracuse, New York (2009). Although IRN-Africa proved not to be sustainable, authors from those conferences went on to be published in Marc Epprecht (2004, 2008), Rudolf Gaudio (2009), Sylvia Tamale (2011), S. N. Nyeck and Epprecht (2013), Sokari Ekine and Hakima Abbas (2013), Zethu Matebeni (2014), Melissa Hackman (2018), and elsewhere. Most of the contributors to the Global Encyclopedia of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTQ) History (Chiang 2019; discussed below) acknowledge their indebtedness to BWFH either directly or through reference to these “spin-offs.” Will, whose work on Native North American sexual and gender diversity is well known (see Roscoe 1991, 1998), also contributed to the forum by alerting me to another spin-off from the book in the form of a powerful short play by award-winning British playwright Caryl Churchill. Pigs and Dogs was performed in 2016 to considerable acclaim at London’s Royal Court Theatre (see Chapman 2016, Gardner 2016, Trueman 2016, for examples). It is surely rare that academic texts get interpreted for popular culture, although the spirit may be permeating a new generation of film and literature from Africa that explores the themes that Steve and Will intuited two decades ago (Coly 2019, Mathuray 2019, Osinubi 2019, Tcheuyap 2019, as entry points into that work). Steve lived to see the CJAS forum published and was particularly moved by the expressions of appreciation if not epiphany by the new generation of Foreword to the Second Edition xv scholars. Sadly, he died soon after. I was honored when Will reached out to me seeking help to fulfill one of Steve’s enduring desires—to publish a second edition of the book and make it freely available online through an open licensing agreement. That this is now happening is a tribute to Will, Steve’s partner, and executor Keelung Hong, Tim Stookesberry, and the team at SUNY Press, as well as another dear colleague from the early days (and yet another contributor to the original edition) Deb Amory.

  • Beauty on Display Plato and the Concept of the Kalon
    BEAUTY ON DISPLAY PLATO AND THE CONCEPT OF THE KALON JONATHAN FINE Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2018 © 2018 Jonathan Fine All rights reserved ABSTRACT BEAUTY ON DISPLAY: PLATO AND THE CONCEPT OF THE KALON JONATHAN FINE A central concept for Plato is the kalon – often translated as the beautiful, fine, admirable, or noble. This dissertation shows that only by prioritizing dimensions of beauty in the concept can we understand the nature, use, and insights of the kalon in Plato. The concept of the kalon organizes aspirations to appear and be admired as beautiful for one’s virtue. We may consider beauty superficial and concern for it vain – but what if it were also indispensable to living well? By analyzing how Plato uses the concept of the kalon to contest cultural practices of shame and honour regulated by ideals of beauty, we come to see not only the tensions within the concept but also how attractions to beauty steer, but can subvert, our attempts to live well.

  • Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics &A
    Online Appendix for Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue (2014) Some Principles of the Use of Macro-Areas Language Dynamics & Change Harald Hammarstr¨om& Mark Donohue The following document lists the languages of the world and their as- signment to the macro-areas described in the main body of the paper as well as the WALS macro-area for languages featured in the WALS 2005 edi- tion. 7160 languages are included, which represent all languages for which we had coordinates available1. Every language is given with its ISO-639-3 code (if it has one) for proper identification. The mapping between WALS languages and ISO-codes was done by using the mapping downloadable from the 2011 online WALS edition2 (because a number of errors in the mapping were corrected for the 2011 edition). 38 WALS languages are not given an ISO-code in the 2011 mapping, 36 of these have been assigned their appropri- ate iso-code based on the sources the WALS lists for the respective language. This was not possible for Tasmanian (WALS-code: tsm) because the WALS mixes data from very different Tasmanian languages and for Kualan (WALS- code: kua) because no source is given. 17 WALS-languages were assigned ISO-codes which have subsequently been retired { these have been assigned their appropriate updated ISO-code. In many cases, a WALS-language is mapped to several ISO-codes. As this has no bearing for the assignment to macro-areas, multiple mappings have been retained. 1There are another couple of hundred languages which are attested but for which our database currently lacks coordinates.

The thesis explores 'myth-revision' in selected works of Fantasy fiction. Myth- revision is defined as the retelling of traditional legends, folk-tales and other familiar stories in such as way as to change the story's implied ideology. (For example, Angela Carter's 'The Company of Wolves' revises 'Red Riding Hood' into a feminist tale of female sexuality and empowerment.) Myth-revision, the thesis argues, has become a significant trend in Fantasy fiction in the last three decades, and is notable in the works of Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman and Philip Pullman.

  • Available Only Within the Gorilla Journal PDF File
    Gorilla Extract from No. 18 June 1999 Journal Tourist Killings in Bwindi About 100 armed men entered Uganda from the Democratic Republic of Con go on March 1st to raid 3 tourist camps in Buhoma, Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Buildings were looted and set on fi re, vehicles were burnt, and 17 people were kidnapped and taken into the forest. It seems likely that the attackers had been told about the exact wherea- bouts of the tourists by Ugandans. After freeing some hostages, the kidnappers hack ed 8 tourists to death with machetes (4 Britons, 2 Americans and 2 New Zealanders). One Ugandan, the Community Conservation Offi cer John Ross Wagaba, was shot and his body set on fi re. It is not clear to which group the murderers belong. They spoke Kisua heli, French and Kinyarwanda. Some people de- scribed them as Interaham we, others as Hutu militia. They themselves said that they belonged to the ALIR (Rwandan Libera- tion Army) which has become notorious for their numerous raids in northwestennorthwesten Rwan da. Since the war in Rwanda, some ten thousand Rwandan rebels, militia and bandits are said to roam the forests of eastern Congo and the Virunga National Park. Afterwards, a group calling itself NALU (National Army for the Liberation of Uganda) claimed responsibility for the murders. This could not be confi rmed. After the massacre, the rebels forced a Ugandan to show them the way back to the Congo. Ugandan and Rwandan troops immediately took up the chase. By the end of March, they had killed 35 Rwandan rebels and captured 4.

This is done by focusing especially on the presidential and legislative elections of 1960 and 2006. The Congolese electorate is known for its ambiguous and paradoxical behaviour.
