  • From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition
    From Chronology to Confessional: New Zealand Sporting Biographies in Transition GEOFF WATSON Abstract Formerly rather uniform in pattern, sporting biographies have evolved significantly since the 1970s, becoming much more open in their criticism of teammates and administrators as well as being more revealing of their subject’s private lives. This article identifies three transitional phases in the genre; a chronological era, extending from the early twentieth century until the 1960s; an indirectly confessional phase between the 1970s and mid 1980s and an openly confessional phase from the mid-1980s. Despite these changes, sporting biographies continue to reinforce the dominant narratives around sport in New Zealand. New Zealand sporting biographies have a mixed reputation in literary and scholarly circles. Often denigrated for their allegedly formulaic style, they have also been criticised for their lack of insight into New Zealand society.1 Representative of this critique is Lloyd Jones, who wrote in 1999, “sport hardly earns a mention in our wider literature, and … the rest of society is rarely, if ever, admitted to our sports literature.”2 This article examines this perspective, arguing that sporting biographies afford a valuable insight into New Zealand’s changing self- image and values. Moreover, it will be argued that the nature of sporting biographies themselves has changed significantly since the 1980s and that they have become much more open in their discussion of teammates and the personal lives of their subjects. Whatever one’s perspective on the literary merits of sporting biographies, their popular appeal is undeniable. Whereas the print run of most scholarly texts in New Zealand is at best a few thousand, sporting biographies consistently sell in the tens of thousands.

  • Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine Identities
    1 Victoria University of Wellington School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Sepelini Mua’au A thesis submitted to the University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Masters in Arts (Theatre) 2016 2 Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Abstract This thesis examines key ideas concerning masculinity and Samoan identity, focusing on the external and internal pressures placed on Pacific Island athletes in New Zealand and abroad to inform the development of an original script, Blackout. In 2014, as part of an Honours script-writing course, I wrote a first draft for my first full- length play. Inspired by the work of Samoan playwright Oscar Kightley, Blackout is a play that intersects the story of four young Pacific Island boys in their last year of College with the journey of a talented young Pacific Islander in his mid-20s trying to make his way in the Professional Rugby world. This thesis is part of a practice- based research project, comprising a 60% theory-based thesis (25,000 words) and 40% practical component, developing the script through three workshop productions. The two working questions the thesis and production process centre on are, firstly how the experiences of young second generation Samoan males can be explored through a contemporary theatre text, enabling the research to develop the story and characters of the play. The second, how the development of this script can enhance an understanding of what it is to be an emerging playwright, grounding the piece in personal experiences and contributing discoveries for young Pacific Playwrights.

Some of the sportspersons may be living outside their countries.] United Nations, New York 10017 INTRODUCTION The international campaign against apartheid sport continued to make progress during 1987. In response, South Africa has embarked on a massive exercise to lure well-known athletes from overseas to compete there by offering them substantial sums of money. Although many countries tightened their regulations in regard to these exchanges in 1987, South Africa continued its efforts to mitigate the effects of the boycott. It is estimated that South Africa spends approximately $US 100 million annually to promote international sports exchanges and subsidize sports organizations which endorse government policies. Commercial'houses which sponsor any event involving overseas participants are refunded 90 per cent of their gross outlay through tax rebates. Thus, South Africa devotes large sums of money to attract overseas players. With the exception of some top golfers and tennis players and a few others, the calibre of players participating in South Africa has been mediocre.
