Abstract:

In late 2004 a New Zealander, John Hood, will become the first external appointment to head Oxford University in its 900-year history. Napier-born and raised, Dr Hood studied engineering at Auckland University where he took his doctorate in 1976. He then took up a Rhodes scholarship at Oxford, where he added an MPhil in management and played cricket for the University. These two universities continue to command a special place in his affections.

Abstract:

Before John Searle wrote the book of Speech Acts, he wrote an article about “What is a Speech Act?” (in Philosophy in America, Max Black, ed. (Ithaca, N.Y.: Cornell University Press, 1965), 221–239). He was born in Denver in 1932. He spent some seven years in Oxford, beginning as an undergraduate in the autumn of 1952 with a Rhodes Scholarship, and concluding as a Lecturer in Philosophy at Christ Church. He has spent almost all of his subsequent life as Professor of Philosophy in Berkeley according to Smith (2003). This article aims to review the speech act theories by Searle (1969) to know wh

Abstract This article opens with the 2015 Rhodes Must Fall protests at the University of Cape Town, when a student poured feces on a statue of Cecil Rhodes. This moment exemplifies the ambivalent relationship between symbolic politics and demands for institutional transformation in postapartheid South Africa. The essay considers two sites of tension: the appropriation of this antiapartheid, decolonial rhetoric outside of South Africa (as in the Rhodes Must Fall campaigns at the University of Oxford) and the borrowing of US discourses of racial identity in South African universities.

Abstract:

Elie Halévy provided a profound and lasting critique of a Europe in crisis. In the 1930s, his interpretation was rooted in his reading of the world calamities of 1914-1918, which he delivered for the famous Rhodes Memorial Lectures at Oxford University in 1929. Studying the origins of his thought in the face of the war offers a privileged perspective on one of Halevy’s most important works, The Era of Tyrannies and, in particular, the role of democracy within his work more broadly. Most importantly, at the center of his approach was an attempt to confront this new political and ideological rea

It was during this time that we were approached by this Journal’s then newly appointed reviews editor, Amanda Hsieh, to co-author a review article. It was an intriguing request for us both: review articles in the humanities are seldom co-authored and even more seldom by two authors with diverging backgrounds and research interests.

Abstract:

Whenever an organisation tries to transform, people often oppose. Experienced managers are fully aware of this truth, yet surprisingly few take the effort to determine who would reject the change attempt and why prior to an organisational change. On the other hand, managers all too frequently rely on a straightforward set of notions based on prior experiences. This constrained strategy may cause significant issues. Because there are so many possible ways that people and organisations may respond to change, accurate assessments frequently need careful thought. When people don't grasp the implic

The reconstruction is approached via a least square method and relies on the inversion of the longitudinal ray transform, which has uniqueness issues. R

Abstract:

If many monuments inspired by Greco-Roman statuary have been destroyed in the history of humanity, it is because their aesthetics, their closeness to reality and above all their symbolism have made them, and still make them, prime targets for conveying political messages, without the need for direct attacks on human beings. This radical iconoclasm was magnified in South Africa in 2015 by the debate at the University of Cape Town (UCT) when some students demanded that the statue of the tycoon Cecil Rhodes be taken down because, they said, it was a daily offence when they walked past it, remindi

Abstract:

In recent years we have seen a worldwide increase in debates surrounding memorials that celebrate historical personalities. In the United States, statues of generals who commanded the troops of the Confederacy in the Civil War (1861-65) have been demolished or strongly criticized as inappropriate. In Oxford, students have demanded the removal of a statue of Cecil Rhodes (1853-1902) because of the role he played in British imperialism and his advocacy of racist ideology, which is today widely considered offensive. In 2015, the University of Cape Town removed a statue of Rhodes, which had been e

Abstract:

On Friday, October 18, 2019, I conducted an interview with John Edgar Wideman at his home in New York City. The conversation was incredibly rich, John being very generous indeed with his memories and his profound insights. Our first focus was Pittsburgh itself—what a joy to hear him speak about the Homewood of his childhood, about something like a lost world. We discussed basketball, the languages of his childhood, and origin stories; as the conversation progressed, John reflected poignantly on what he sees as the cost of his success, that he is pushed ahead as a token while very little of his

In this essay, I specifically address the issue of structural inequities in the context of resource allocation during a period of crisis standard of care. In response to the increasing evidence of structural inequities during the pandemic, physicians and bioethicists Douglas White and Bernard Lo proposed incorporating a correction factor into resource allocation protocols.

The Big Pineapple, Big Banana, the Big Potato , Australia positively groans under the weight of big things littered along the highway like jokes awaiting their punch-lines. These commercial road-side enterprises are a constant source of bemusement among Australians and this paper seeks to explore the attraction of the gargantuan and why Australians consider big things to be so funny. Discovering that big things not only give form to national icons but also celebrate the nation's tendency to larrikinism and the associated sardonic, ironic and anti-establishment humour, we are left to consider t

Abstract:

IntroductionAccounts of mentoring relationships inevitably draw attention to hierarchies of expertise, knowledge and learning. While public concerns about both the risks and benefits for young people of social media, little attention has been given to the nature of the mentoring role that parents and families play alongside of schools. This conceptual paper explores models of mentorship in the context of family dynamics as they are affected by social media use. This is a context that explicitly disrupts hierarchical structures of mentoring in that new media, and particularly social media use,

   Perhaps nothing in media culture today makes clearer the connection between people’s bodies and their homes than the Emmy-winning reality TV program Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. Home Edition is a spin-off from the original Extreme Makeover, and that fact provides in fundamental form the strong connection that the show demonstrates between bodies and houses. The first EM, initially popular for its focus on cosmetic surgery, laser skin and hair treatments, dental work, cosmetics and wardrobe for mainly middle-aged and self-described unattractive participants, lagged after
