Daughters of Candace - Tracking Black Womens Sport History

June 1, 2014 deadline

Call for Book Chapters (please forward to all lists)http://daughtersofcandace.net

Editors of a forthcoming book, Daughters of Candace: Tracking Black Women's Sport History, seek to

explore the contours of African American women's participation in physical contests. This project

will illuminate the legacy of several dynasties of Nubian queens known as Candace, or Kandake, and

unearth the buried legends of victory that are grounded in African lands. Ta-seti, an ancient name

for Nubia, was translated as "land of the bow," and indicated the Nubian reputation for archery.

Modern Black women have excelled internationally in several sports including auto racing, baseball,

basketball, bobsled, bowling, dance, fencing, golf, horse racing, ice hockey, ice skating, lacrosse,martial arts, roller derby, rowing, soccer, softball, stunts, swimming, track, and volleyball.

Excavating the history of over 150 Africana women's athletic prowess can offer tools for imaginative

redefinition of how Black women's bodies are viewed, interpreted, and lived - on the field and off.

4/25

The Olympic and Paralympic Games are a globalised phenomenon. The Games are a multi-billion

dollar industry, a mega event, a showcase for professionalism and internationalisation; yet, also,

these events have changed significantly from the origins of the modern Olympic movement in the

nineteenth century, in which ideologies of amateurism, nationalism and masculinity played a strong

part. The modern Olympic Games of today, and those of 1896, are in turn shaped by myths and

historical debates about the meaning and purpose of the original, ancient Olympic Games.

Those debates help people understand the importance or otherwise of the Olympic Ideal, and

contribute to the reimagining of the Games and the Olympicspast, present and future. This

workshop will bring together practitioners involved in the modern-day events to reflect on their

experiences alongside academics interested in the history, philosophy, sociology and aesthetics of

the Olympics.

This workshop will follow the principles and aims of Inter-Disciplinary.Net (IDN). IDN was set up to

bring academics and practitioners together to discuss research, ideas, good practice and best

practice: to help individuals to think critically and think with an inter-disciplinary lens. This workshopintends to bring people involved in working on the meaning and purpose of the Olympics together,

whether they are academics or practitioners, dedicated supporters or strong critics, to share ideas

and to try to solve some of the issues the movement faces as it develops into the twenty-first

century.

Purpose:

To bring together practitioners and academics to look at how the Olympic movement has developed,

the re-imagining of Olympism, and the problems and challenges facing the Olympics movement

and the opportunities

Audience:

Development Officers and Managers from any relevant NGB/IGB organisations Staff from previous bidding organisations Campaigners Academics

Themes:

The use of the ancient Olympics in modern history Modern Olympics histories Olympics as Aesthetics The Olympic Philosophy Amateurism and Professionalism The Olympics Industry Mega-events management and policy Globalization and Internationalization Counter-Olympic campaigns

We invite expressions of interest for people thinking of attending and for them to send a statement

of their interest and experience/expertise to the workshop leader/co-ordinator Karl Spraklen:

Schedule:

The day will begin with registration between 8.30 am and 9.30am Tuesday 2nd September 2014 and

From Text to Screen: Spinning Words into Film in the Science-Fiction and Fantasy genres

The translation of pre-existing works (plays, novels, short stories) to the big screen remains a

problematic process fraught with difficulties of cultural translation and updates as well as

differences in media forms and traditions. How do filmmakers take a workespecially one that

existed in a different cultural and historical timeand translate it for contemporary audiences?

Such films are seeing unprecedented success in American and world cinema. Having received initial

interest from an academic publisher the editors seek chapter proposals on films and the pre-existing

texts they are based upon for a work that asks questions about the two kinds of translation

happening here: How do filmmakers produce a film based on a non-filmic text? And, at the sametime, how do they update the cultural ideas in those pre-existing texts for a modern audience

without losing the inherent ideas of the original work?

Proposals should consider the following list in assessing their ideas suitability for this project:

1. Proposals should include either recent films, classics, or films underrepresented in academic

discussions.

2. Films should be based on non-film texts (preferably written) that are either genre or non-genre.

3. Preference to texts/films that have a somewhat significant period of time between the original

text and the filmed version (i.e., Enders

Game) unless the film/text are undeniably popular (i.e.: Jurassic Park).

4. Emphasis on the needs of the filmmaker to "culturally update" the original text to make it relevant

for contemporary audiences, especially along lines of race/class/gender and

technology/philosophy.

5. Emphasis on the cultural/mythic/folkloric importance of both the original text and the film

version.

6. Preference to works that have seen more than a single film production.

7. The editors also wish to indicate a strong preference for avoiding unnecessary academic jargon

and emphasizing clear writing and readability.

8. The editors also prefer not to receive proposals on the works of Philip K. Dick at this time.

Proposals:

Chapter proposals should provide a brief abstract (200-400 words) for a chapter of 5,500 to 7,000

words and detail the main thesis of the proposed chapter. Proposals should also include the name,

discipline, and current affiliation (if any) of the author(s) with a separate, single page C.V. The editors

are willing to consider proposals from graduate students and independent scholars. Proposals

should be sent, as a Word and Word-compatible attachment [email protected] 1

March. Decisions on proposals will be made by 31 March and initial drafts are expected by 2 June

with final drafts due by 18 August. The dates listed are subject to modification as deemed

appropriate by the Press but the editors do not anticipate moving the dates up in the calendar.
http://www.newsletter.com.au/link.phpmailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]://www.newsletter.com.au/link.php


7/25

The editors are interested in proposals on all possible films or film franchises, but are especially

interested in the following:

--War of the Worlds(Wells/Haskin [1953]/Spielberg [2005])

--Oz(Baum/Semon [1925]/Fleming [1939]/Raimi [2013, Oz The Great and Powerful]

--The Day the Earth Stood Still(Bates/Wise [1951]/Derrickson [2008])

--The Thing(Campbell, Jr./Nyby [1951, as The Thing from Another World]/Carpenter

[1982]/Heijningen, Jr. [2011])

--Planet of the Apes(Boulle/Var. Directors, 1968-2014)

--Enders Game(Card/Hood)

--Harry Potter(Rowling/Var. Directors, 2001-2011)

--I, Robot(Asimov/Proyas)

The editors also welcome general queries and questions concerning possible proposals and the

suitability of specific films/texts [email protected].

2nd Global Conference: Teen Cultures

Saturday 10th MayMonday 12th May 2014 Lisbon, Portugal Call for Presentations

Hailed as future leaders, yet castigated for failing to maintain the previous generations standards of

productivity and morality; condemned for apathy and laziness, yet envied as embodiments of

freedom from the responsibilities of adulthood: teenagers occupy a complex and, often,

contradictory position in society. The impact of teens upon culture and the impact of culture upon

teen experiences exist as a multidirectional flow whose dynamics are best understood through inter-

, cross- and multi-disciplinary dialogues. Teen Cultures will be run as a special stream within the 2nd

Global Conference: Teenagers and Contemporary Visual Culture and aims to create a space in which

researchers, educators, professionals and others with a stake in exploring teen cultures can share

their perspectives on what it means to be a teenager.

The Steering Group welcomes the submission of proposals for 20-minute presentations any aspect

of teen cultures, such as:

-Historical perspectives on the emergence and evolution of the teenager as a distinctsociological identity

-Impact of gender, sexuality, race, class, nationality and ethnicity on the teenage experience -Perspectives on teen psychology -Teens and politics (activism, participation, rebellion, apathy, etc.) -Legal and legislative regulations and protections aimed at teenagers -Teens and the development of moral and ethical agency -Teen sub- and counter-cultures -Teens as consumers -Teens as entrepreneurs

8/25

-Teens and fashion -Teens and literature -Teen films, television and new media -Teens and art

-Teens and music -Teaching teens: Strategies and pedagogies

Presentations will also be considered on any related theme.

In order to support and encourage interdisciplinarity engagement, it is our intention to create the

possibility of starting dialogues between the parallel events running during this conference.

Delegates are welcome to attend up to two sessions in each of the concurrent conferences. We also

propose to produce cross-over sessions between two and possibly all three groupsand we

welcome proposals which deal with the relationship between Teenagers, visual culture, and/or

urban popcultures, subcultures and/or storytelling.

What to send:

300 word abstracts should be submitted by Friday 7th February 2014 If an abstract is accepted for

the conference, a full draft paper should be submitted by Friday 4th April 2014. 300 word abstracts

should be submitted simultaneously to both Organising Chairs; abstracts may be in Word or RTF

formats with the following information and in this order:

a) author(s), b) affiliation as you would like it to appear in programme, c) email address, d) title of

abstract, e) body of abstract, f) up to 10 keywords.

E-mails should be entitled: TCVC2 Abstract Submission.

Please use plain text (Times Roman 12) and abstain from using footnotes and any special formatting,

characters or emphasis (such as bold, italics or underline).

5th Global Conference: Space and Place

Wednesday 3rd SeptemberFriday 5th September 2014

Mansfield College, Oxford, United Kingdom

Call for Presentations

Questions of space and place affect the very way in which we experience and recreate the world.

Wars are fought over both real and imagined spaces; boundaries are erected against the Other

constructing a lived landscape of division and disenfranchisement; while ideology constructs a

national identity based upon the dialectics of inclusion and exclusion. The construction of space and

place is also a fundamental aspect of the creative arts either through the art of reconstruction of aknown space or in establishing a relationship between the audience and the performance. Politics,

power and knowledge are also fundamental components of space as is the relationship between

visibility and invisibility. This new inter- and multi-disciplinary conference project seeks to explore

these and other topics and open up a dialogue about the politics and practices of space and place.

We seek submissions from a range of disciplines including archaeology, architecture, urban

geography, the visual and creative arts, philosophy and politics and also actively encourage

practitioners and non-academics with an interest in the topic to participate.

We welcome traditional papers, preformed panels of papers, workshop proposals and other forms

of performancerecognising that different disciplines express themselves in different mediums.

Submissions are sought on any aspect of space and place, including the following:

1.Theorising Space and Place

~Philosophies and space and place

~Surveillance, sight and the panoptic structures and spaces of contemporary life

~Space and place as realms of becoming

~Rhizomatics and/or postmodernist constructions of space as a meshwork of paths (Ingold: 2008)

~The relationship between spatiality and temporality/space as a temporal-spatial event (Massey:

2005)

~The language and semiotics of space and place

2.The situation and location of Identities

~Gendered spaces including the tension between domestic and public spheres

~Work spaces and hierarchies of power

~Geographies and archaeologies of space including Orientalism and Occidentalism

~Ethnic spaces/ethnicity and space

~Disabled spaces/places

~Queer places and spaces

~Alterity and its relationship to the production of space and place

~Spatialities in Rural areas of nature~Queer Ruralities

BSA Regional Postgraduate Event

'Pace, Penalty and Pirouette: The Sociology of Physical Culture'

Glasgow Caledonian University, Friday 13th June 2014

The study of physical culture encompasses a variety of topics and issues. Broadly speaking, scholars

who research physical culture are interested in the ways in which individuals engage in (or do not

engage in) physical practices, and how these practices are affected by, or influence their social and

cultural environment. This event aims to explore the various practices of physical culture to

interrogate how they intersect with sociological issues such as ageing, class, disability, gender and

race.

The event is designed to be a platform for postgraduate students from across Scotland and further

afield to unite, to discuss, present, and share their research with academics with similar interests.

Presentations will be 20 minutes, allowing time for a question and answer session.


15/25

We invite contributions from, (but not limited to), scholars studying:

Dance

Leisure studies

Physical education

Physical theatre

Sport and physical activity

Benefit or Burden? Coming to terms with Ageing Britain

Tuesday 26 February 2014, 6pm

Chaired by: Evan Davis

Is the welfare generation a myth? Is our ageing population a burden, or is this just a lazy concept

and out of step with the new dynamics of ageing? What can our economy gain from an older

workforce, and how can our politicians and policy makers harness the potential in an ageingpopulation?

18/25

Sport has a unique place in the heritage of the country. Not only does it have a place in its own right,

but it also helps to illustrate the story of so many other historical subjects: women's rights, the

industrial revolution, social mobility, individual determination, scientific exploration and invention,

community history........ the sporting past can also help to unlock learning and culture for children

and adults otherwise turned off from these subjects.

By popular demand, the first National Sporting Heritage Day has a theme of World War 1 to

celebrate the links between sport and the Great War. But if you feel you'd like to celebrate another

area of the sporting past though, please go ahead.

I look forward to hearing about your plans!

Many thanks

Funding and opportunities

British Academy Research Projects

Application forms for a new call for proposals for Academy Research Projects are now available one-GAP:https://egap.britac.ac.uk

The British Academy has a strong record in the promotion of collaborative, infrastructural, and often

international research. The programme of Academy Research Projects currently gives academic

recognition and modest financial support to around 50 projects, and the Academy is now looking to

expand this through the adoption of a small number of new projects in the social sciences. This

programme does notoffer the kind of major funding currently available via the ESRC, and it is

expected that any project supported under the scheme will need to be able to demonstrate that it is

independently financially viable.

Academy Research Projects typically share the characteristic of being infrastructural projects or

research facilities, intended to produce fundamental works of scholarship, in most cases for the use

of a variety of disciplines, rather than to produce interpretative works or monographs. Another

typical feature is the contribution made by the voluntary work of many scholars, whether as

organizers or participants. A full list of the current portfolio of ARPs is available at

http://www.britac.ac.uk/arp/index.cfm,while successful projects adopted in response to the last

Call for Proposals in 2011 are listed athttp://www.britac.ac.uk/news/news.cfm/newsid/750

The Academy does not, however, have preconceived ideas about the type of project that may be

proposed in response to this Call for Proposals, in terms of length of time required for completion, or

organization. The onus is on project proposers to convince the Academy that their project is

particularly suited to Academy support, benefiting from the academic recognition offered by

Academy Research Project status, which may assist projects in appealing to a wide range of funding

agencies both in the UK and abroad, both public and private. The Academy will also make available

to projects small-scale research expenses, normally up to a ceiling of 5,000pa (on a competitive

basis), to meet certain kinds of costs that can be difficult to cover through other funding

applications.

Level of award:Up to 5,000pa.Period of award:Once adopted into the ARP programme, the project will be required to submit an

annual progress report, together with a bid for financial support (if needed) in 5 year tranches.

Projects are subject to thorough review, normally every five years, where the case for continuing

Academy support is assessed. Given satisfactory progress, there is no specific limit on the length of

time the project may expect to continue its association with the Academy. Projects performing

unsatisfactorily will be given time to try to resolve any short-term difficulties, but the Academy

reserves the right to terminate the association after a due period of notice.

Suitable Projects:Directors of projects of the kind described above, whether existing or new, in any

field or fields of the social sciences only, may approach the Academy for support through this
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]://www.theguardian.com/profile/david-winnerhttp://www.theguardian.com/profile/david-winnerhttp://journal.media-culture.org.au/http://journal.media-culture.org.au/http://journal.media-culture.org.au/http://journal.media-culture.org.au/http://www.theguardian.com/profile/david-winnermailto:[email protected]

scheme. The applicant should be the project director, and must be a UK resident but need not be in

a permanent full-time academic post in the UK. Co-applicants may be co-directors of the project and

may come from anywhere in the world.

The Academy expects to use this opportunity to broaden the current portfolio of projects into a

wider subject base. Accordingly, the Projects Committee will only accept applications in the social

sciences in response to this call.

Number of awards:The Academy expects to be able to add a small number of new projects to the

existing portfolio up to a maximum of three or four, but there is no specific number of awards

available. The Academy reserves the right not to adopt any of the projects proposed. Previous calls

for proposals were issued in 2003, (when the Academy received 17 proposals and adopted four

projectsa success rate of 23.5%); in 2007 (when the Academy received 72 proposals and adopted

eight projectsa success rate of 11%); and in 2011 (when the Academy received 33 proposals and

adopted five projectsa success rate of 15%).

The closing date for completed Outline Stage applications is Wednesday, 12 March 2014

1. Physical Activity, Workplace Wellbeing and Bridging the Policy-Practice Gap: A Study of Everton

Football Club

This collaborative project between the Department of Sport and Physical Activity and Everton in the

Community brings academics, policy-makers, practitioners and the general public together to

develop an innovative way of analysing the effectiveness of Everton Football Clubs Workplace

Wellbeing Programme (WWP). The WWP is intended to address the health and wellbeing of more

than 1,000 employees from across all areas of its business, from match-day stewards to the Senior

Executive team. The successful applicant will be given the opportunity to undertake a mixed

methods research study with all employees at Everton to make positive changes in the workplace to

benefit their physical and mental health. The project is intended to develop models of best practice

in workplace physical activity and wellbeing that can be disseminated to other organisations inside

and outside of sport.

To discuss this project further, please contact Professor Andy Smith ([email protected])

2. Policy, Performativity, and Accountability: Community Sport Work and Mental Health Promotion

in Neoliberal Times

The neo-liberal project has been the subject of increased critique within many domains, including in

sport and health policy. However, there remains a paucity of research addressing the ways in which

sports and health workers experience the increasingly performative nature of their labour, especially

as it relates to the achievement of a diverse range of public policy outcomes, the use of public

league tables, targets, assessments, and the individualised measurement of work placeperformance. Delivered in collaboration with Everton in the Community, this study will combine

policy analysis with the ethnographic fieldwork in order to explore the impact of performative

policies on community sports workers (e.g., youth coaches, sport development officers, mental

health workers, managers) identities and practices in the field of mental health promotion.

For decades global sport spectacles have generated political protests of various sorts. Brazil is no

different than previous hosts. This project will identify the grassroots organisations that challenge

the global model of sport spectacles practiced by the IOC and FIFA and investigate the extent to

which these organisations are part of a burgeoning transnational alliance of local and international

civil society organisations that conspire to resist the hegemony of mega event power elites. To what

extent can these transnational alliances of resistance be considered social movements and what is

their effectiveness in engendering progressive social change in the operational practices of those

that are responsible for hosting sporting mega events?

Institute of Ideas: Academy Scholarship Programme 2014

For the third year, the Institute of Ideas will be running the Academy Scholarship Programme for full

time students of ANY academic disciple. Successful applicants will be eligible to attend the annual

Academy weekend for only 60. Read on for details of how to apply.

WHAT IS THE ACADEMY?

The Institute of Ideas Academy is an annual three day residential retreat running from FRIDAY 18

JULY to MONDAY 21 JULY, in which we aim to get away and be unashamedly esoteric and

intellectual for a weekend, in the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake. There are three parallel

lecture series on Classics, Literature and History as well as a plenary History of Ideas series on moral

thought.

If the idea of grappling with the complexities of moral thought through the works of Aristotle and

Thucydides, Edmund Burke and Aquinas, Cervantes and Thomas Mann appeals, then the Academy is

for you! Join us for a weekend of free thinking and discussion, in which everybody will have the

opportunity to cultivate themselves in beautiful surroundings: with good books, good food and

drink, and in good company.

This year we will cover texts as diverse as Aristotles Nicomachean Ethics, and Virgils Aeneid, as well

as Adam Smiths The Theoryof Moral Sentiments, Thomas Manns The Magic Mountain and Edmund

Burkes Reflections on the Revolution in France. The lectures will explore moral thought throughout

the ages, and consider whether it is possible for us to live a morally good life in a secular world.

In addition, prior to the main programme which will begin on SATURDAY 19 JULY, the successful

Academy Scholars will have three additional lectures organised for them on the afternoon of FRIDAY

18 JULY.

University students from ALL disciplines are encouraged to apply to the Scholarship Programme, andwhether you are an arts, humanities or science student, you will be joining a diverse range of people
mailto:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]:[email protected]


25/25

from every possible walk of life; from Professors and academics, to other students, business people,

barristers, film makers and writers to name just a few.

HOW TO APPLY

The scholarship programme offers full time University students the chance to attend for the heavily

subsidised price of 60 for three nights accommodation and full board at the luxury Wyboston

Lakes complex in Bedfordshire.

To apply for an Academy Scholarship, please submit a 500-word (max) essay on the question: Can

one be moral in a secular society? Please also submit a 300-word (max) motivation on why you in

particular deserve to attend The Academy.

Submit applications online by 11am MONDAY 31 MARCH 2014. Once we have successfully received

your application, you will be sent the reading list so that you can start preparing while we evaluate

all of the submissions.

All successful candidates will be notified on FRIDAY 2 MAY 2014

For more information on the Scholarship Programme, and for any questions that you may have,

please [email protected].
