  • Transforming the Springboks: Re-Imagining the South African Nation Through Sport
    This paper is a post-print of an article published in Social Dynamics 29:1 (2003): 27-48. The definitive version is available at: http://www.africanstudies.uct.ac.za/downloads/29_1farquharson.zip Transforming the Springboks: Re-imagining the South African Nation through Sport 1 Karen Farquharson and Timothy Marjoribanks Abstract Nation-building occurs not only through the creation of formal institutions, but also through struggles in cultural and symbolic contexts. In apartheid South Africa, the rugby union Springboks both symbolised and institutionalised a racially based form of ‘bounded citizenship’. In post-apartheid South Africa, the Springboks have emerged as a contested and significant site in the attempt to build a non-racial nation through reconciliation. To explore these contests, we undertook a qualitative thematic analysis of newspaper discourses around the Springboks, reconciliation and nation-building in the contexts of the 1995 and 1999 Rugby World Cups. Our research suggests, first, that the Springboks have been re-imagined in newspaper discourses as a symbol of the non-racial nation-building process in South Africa, especially in ‘media events’ such as the World Cup. Second, we find that there are significant limitations in translating this symbolism into institutionalised practice, as exemplified by newspaper debates over the place of ‘merit’ in international team selection processes. We conclude that the media framing of the role of the Springboks in nation-building indicates that unless the re-imagination of the Springboks is accompanied by a transformation in who is selected to represent the team, and symbolically the nation, the Springboks’ contribution to South African nation-building will be over.

The six-week, 48-match Tournament promises to be a total Rugby experience for everybody involved, from the estimated cumulative global television audience of 4 billion to the 95,000 international visitors expected to attend and from the 20 competing nations to the range of sponsors and official suppliers. Given the scale and level of investment in the event and in challenging economic conditions, much interest has focused on the scale of the economic impact on both the local New Zealand economy and also the broader global sports economy. Rugby World Cup has grown markedly since its first iteration with a cumulative television audience of 300 million in 1987 growing to 4.2 billion1 for Rugby World 2007 and spectators increasing from 600,000 to 2.25 million. Participating countries has risen from 16 in 1987 to 94 in 2007 with the number of countries in which the Tournament is broadcast up from 17 to 202.

  • The World Cup— a Pictorial History on Stamps by John F
    Historic Events: The World Cup— A pictorial history on stamps by John F. Dunn With the World Cup beginning on June 12 and running through the championship game on July 13 in Brazil, we present here stamps that trace the history of this worldwide event from the first, 1930, competition to date. Prelude: The world’s most popular sport, football—known in the United States as soccer—has elements that trace back to ancient Greece and Rome, but the rules of the sport as we know it today came into fruition in the mid-19th Century in England, where various forms of the game were played as far back as the eight century. The first formal “International” competition was held in 1872, albeit it between England and Scotland. By 1900 the sport was sufficiently widespread that it was introduced as a demonstration sport (with no medals awarded), and then as a medal sport in the 1908 London Olympics. It was not until the 1920 Olympics that a non-Euro- pean nation competed—Egypt, along with 13 European teams—in a competition that was won by Belgium. Uru- guay won the 1924 and 1928 Olympics. By 1930, under the leadership of its President, Jules Rimet, the Federation Interna- tionale de Football Associations (FIFA) was ready to stage its own tournaments, free of the amateur restrictions of the Olympics. Hav- ing won the previous two Olympic Championships, and with the Jules Rimet and the first South American nation celebrates trophy, named “The God- its 100th Anniversary of inde- dess of Victory,” which pendence, Uruguay became the later came to be known as natural choice as the first World the Rimet Cup, on a stamp from Hungary.
