  • Flemish Cinema and Film Culture Through South African Eyes
    Flemish Cinema and Film Culture through South African Eyes By Martin P. Botha Fall 2007 Issue of KINEMA THE HERITAGE OF FILM: PERSPECTIVE ON FLEMISH CINEMA AND FILM CUL- TURE THROUGH SOUTH AFRICAN EYES I assisted the Locarno Film festival in 2005 with a retrospective of short films by young South African directors. There I met a very talented, young Flemish director, whose film was by far the best in the one section.(1) It moved me immensely with its honest portrait of alienation and racial discrimination. We had a long discussion on film history, aesthetics and film cultures. We also talked about the historyof film in Belgium and it was noted that while the French speaking side of Belgian cinema had recently received international acclaim (for example, the work by the Dardenne Brothers), Flemish cinema was struggling. In fact, the young filmmaker made the statement that there was little to be excited about in the historyof Flemish cinema. He felt especially that the films about rural communities and most of the historical dramas were not saying much about contemporary Flanders, in particular, the youth. I have heard this argument before, but in a totally different cultural context. Many young, aspiring South African filmmakers have told me there is very little in South African film history which makes themproud of their film culture. For decades South African film culture has been in isolation. The years 1959to1980 were characterised by an artistic revival in filmmaking throughout the world, ranging from exciting political films in Africa and Latin America to examples of great art cinema in Europe and Asia.

Both were of huge assistance throughout the whole process. Martin was of great help in advising on international sporting splits, and inputting on the focus, outputs, structure and style of the thesis. Mike’s vast knowledge of Irish history and sporting history, and his ability to see history through many different perspectives were instrumental in shaping the thesis as far more than a sports history one. It was through conversations with Mike that the concept of looking at partition from many different viewpoints arose. I would like to thank Professor Oliver Rafferty SJ from Boston College for sharing his research on the Catholic Church, Dr Dónal McAnallen for sharing his research on the GAA and Dr Tom Hunt for sharing his research on athletics and cycling.

  • The Monastic Rules of Visigothic Iberia: a Study of Their Text and Language
    THE MONASTIC RULES OF VISIGOTHIC IBERIA: A STUDY OF THEIR TEXT AND LANGUAGE By NEIL ALLIES A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Theology and Religion College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham July 2009 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged.

Abstract This thesis is concerned with the monastic rules that were written in seventh century Iberia and the relationship that existed between them and their intended, contemporary, audience. It aims to investigate this relationship from three distinct, yet related, perspectives: physical, literary and philological. After establishing the historical and historiographical background of the texts, the thesis investigates firstly the presence of a monastic rule as a physical text and its role in a monastery and its relationship with issues of early medieval literacy. It then turns to look at the use of literary techniques and structures in the texts and their relationship with literary culture more generally at the time. Finally, the thesis turns to issues of the language that the monastic rules were written in and the relationship between the spoken and written registers not only of their authors, but also of their audiences.

  • Independence Movements in the EU? How Separatism Takes Over and Endangers Europe As a Peace Concept 1
    3 / 2019 & Sabine Riedel Independence Movements in the EU? How Separatism Takes over and Endangers Europe as a Peace Concept 1 Separatist movements exist worldwide, often due to conflicts over power and resources. If this phe- nomenon also affects the European Union, all politicians should sound the alarm bells. The EU is a peace project based on an ever-closer cooperation between its members. However, regional parties, which are currently striving for independence, seek a conflict, for the central question is not whether the regions have a right to secession, but whether the EU members will recognise them as states. Since a territorial secession violates the constitutional order against the will of the nation states concerned, the circle of supporters is likely to remain small. Therefore, the separatist parties demand majority decisions from supranational bodies. In this way they want to solve another problem, namely that their regions remain in the EU as full members. The pro-European image cultivated by many separatist parties is therefore a strategic calculation for the realisation of their vision of a ‘Europe of all peoples’, by which they mean though ethnic and cultural units and not the national peoples of the EU. This redefinition of the concept of nation, however, endangers member states’ stability and thus European integration. Independence movements are social forces that independence movements. In fact, the 193 mem- want to separate a regional unit from a certain ber states of the United Nations (UN) decide state territory.

  • Ossian and Arthur in the Making of a Celtic Galicia
    Recibido: 15.5.2013 Aceptado: 4.6.2013 FROM PONDAL TO CABANILLAS: OSSIAN AND ARTHUR IN THE MAKING OF A CELTIC GALICIA Juan Miguel ZARANDONA Universidad de Valladolid The second part of the 19th century witnessed the upsurge of the other cul- tures, languages and literatures of Spain, mainly dormant since the late Middle Ages, when Spanish, or Castilian, became the new national language of a united Spain (1492). Among these, Galicia, the humid, green north–west corner of the Iberian Peninsula, led the way. The Romantic Movement taking place in this re- gion was given the name of Rexurdimento or ‘Resurgence’. But there is some- thing that makes Galicia different form other parts of Spain undergoing similar processes, such as Catalonia or the Basque Land. Galicia made its collective mind up to turn into a full Celtic nation. Paraules clau: Galicia, Celtic, Arthur, Ossian, Pondal, Cabanillas.
