JBS 15 DEC Yk.Indd
When Autocracies Have No Respect for the Nobel Prize BY INA SHAKHRAI As both the fi rst writer and the fi rst woman from Belarus to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature, Svetlana Alexievich became a centre of public attention worldwide. While the fi rst tweets from the Nobel announcement room generated some confusion regarding this unknown writer from an unknown land – with about “10,000 reporters googling Svetlana Alexievich” (Brooks 2015) – the subsequent media coverage of the writer in such publications as The Guardian, The New Yorker, and Der Spiegel sketched out a broad picture of Alexievich’s life, career and main works. Meanwhile, the Belarusian state media remained reluctant to give the award much attention: the upcoming presidential elections and Lukashenka’s visit to Turkmenistan took priority. In a couple of cafes and art spaces in Minsk young people gathered to watch Alexievich’s speech live via the Internet. Independent and alternative websites offered platforms for discussion and the exchange of opinions. Interestingly, the general public was divided over the question of the “Belarusianness” of Alexievich. The identity of the protagonist in Alexievich’s books caused a heated discussion among Russian intellectuals as well. They could hardly accept that Alexievich’s works might epitomize the experience of a genuinely Soviet individual, as they set out to. There was also much speculation on whether Alexievich should be acknowledged as a Russian writer, or whether the West treated her as Belarusian in order to chastise Russia. The events surrounding Alexievich’s Nobel Prize represent a revealing example of the all-encompassing nature of autocratic political systems, as well as how confusing and interwoven national identities can be. -

Peter Hopkinson Is a Documentary Film-Maker Whose Life Has Ranged From
PETER HOPKINSON Peter Hopkinson is a documentary film-maker whose life has ranged from camerawork with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in the heyday of Hollywood to, more recently, the organisation of film production in the Central American state of Costa Rica. He entered the film industry before World War Two as a clapper- boy at Ealing Studios, and worked as a camera assistant at Alexander Korda’s Denham Studios. During the War he served with the Army Film and Photographic Unit filming on various battlefronts, and in its aftermath shot the first uncensored film in Soviet Russia. In 1946 he joined the celebrated American cine news magazine The March of Time as a director-reporter., filming in India, China, Japan, the middle East, Europe and the United States. For NBC he directed and photographed numerous international television reports and, for Louis de Rochemont, a prize-winning film on the Suez Canal. From the Council of Europe came a Special Award for a film profile of Britain in the Sixties; and the film he wrote and directed of the ending of colonial rule in Ghana, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, African Awakening, was selected for UNESCO’s Kalinga Prize as the one British film ‘judged to contribute most effectively to international co-operation in education, science and culture’. Producing, as well as directing, he has been working for some time on a series of films on natural resources, of which the first, Time for Tin, received a premier ‘Gold Camera’ Award at the United States Industrial Film and Video Festival. Sponsored by UNESCO, he undertook a study of world population pressures, A Matter of Families, filmed in India, Iran, Kenya and Venezuela. -

C.001 C., JE “Dr. Duncan and the Book of Mormon.”
C. C.001 C., J. E. “Dr. Duncan and the Book of Mormon.” MS 52 (1 September 1890): 552-56. A defense of the Book of Mormon against the criticism of Dr. Duncan in the Islington Gazette of August 18th. Dr. Duncan, evidently a literary critic, concluded that the Book of Mormon was either a clumsy or barefaced forgery or a pious fraud. The author writes that the Book of Mormon makes clear many doctrines that are difcult to understand in the Bible. Also, the history and gospel taught by the Bible and the Book of Mormon are similar because both were inspired of God. [B. D.] C.002 C., M. J. “Mormonism.” Plainsville Telegraph (March 3, 1831): 4. Tells of the conversion of Sidney Rigdon who read the Book of Mormon and “partly condemned it” but after two days accepted it as truthful. He asked for a sign though he knew it was wrong and saw the devil appearing as an angel of light. The author of this article warns against the Book of Mormon and against the deception of the Mormons. [J.W.M.] C.003 Cadman, Sadie B., and Sara Cadman Vancik. A Concordance of the Book of Mormon. Monongahela, PA: Church of Jesus Christ, 1986. A complete but not exhaustive concordance, listing words alphabetically. Contains also a historical chronology of the events in the Book of Mormon. [D.W.P.] C.004 Caine, Frederick Augustus.

Newsletter 2013
The Old Papplewickian No.13 2013 THE HEADMASTER WRITES ld Boys who have visited the school since our new Front Entrance Hall was completed in September 2012 Ohave all commented on how this new development, located in the heart of the school, has given Papplewick a completely new ‘feel’…and I’m delighted to say that this seems to have been in an entirely positive way! However, Papplewick will always be more about people than buildings, and it is in this spirit that we are keen to continue to develop our links with Old Boys over the coming twelve months. The launch of an official Old Boys Facebook site is now imminent - I hope this will enable the school to organise social evenings for Old Boys in London while also helping Old Boys to network more easily amongst yourselves. A reunion for the first major overseas rugby tour to New Zealand in 1994 will take place at Papplewick in the summer, together with a reunion in Madrid for our Spanish families in May. We also intend to hold our first Old Boys versus Staff football match in the autumn although it may disappoint some of you that a similar rugby fixture is still some The Headmaster in Seoul for the Korean reunion last year, talking to way off! With the school in good heart, I hope such events will Simon Kim (2004-06). only help to strengthen the bond between Old Boys and Papplewick, and the school was in no better heart than in 2012 do please drop in whenever you feel inspired to do so – Sallie when senior boys won thirteen scholarships, including two and I would be absolutely delighted to see you either at academic scholarships to Eton and one to Winchester amongst Papplewick or at one of the forthcoming social events during a record haul of seven academic scholarships in total. -
New Genetics, New Social Formations
New Genetics, New Social Formations The genomic era requires more than just a technical understanding of gene structure and function. New technological options cannot survive without being entrenched in networks of producers, users and various services. New genetic technologies cut across a range of public domains and private lifeworlds, often appearing to gen- erate an institutional void in response to the complex challenges they pose. Chap- ters in this volume discuss a variety of these novel manifestations across both health and agriculture, including: gene banks intellectual property rights committees of inquiry non-governmental organisations (NGOs) national research laboratories These are explored in such diverse locations as Amazonia, China, Finland, Israel, the UK and the USA. This volume reflects the rapidly changing scientific, clinical and social environment within which new social formations are being constructed and reconstructed. It brings together a range of empirical and theoretical insights that serve to help better understand complex, and often contentious, innovative processes in the new genetic technologies. Peter Glasner is Professorial Fellow in the Economic and Social Research Council’s Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics at Cardiff University. He is Co-editor of the journals New Genetics and Society and 21st Century Society.He has a longstanding research interest in genetics, innovation and science policy. He is an Academician of the Academy of Learned Societies in the Social Sciences. Paul Atkinson is Distinguished Research Professor in Sociology at Cardiff University, where he is Associate Director of the ESRC Centre for Economic and Social Aspects of Genomics. He has published extensively on the sociology of medical knowledge and qualitative research methods.
