Victor Fan (2022). Cinema Illuminating Reality
Cinephilistinism and the Second Coming
This article argues that Palestinian cinema can collectively be understood as adopting a crip aesthetic that gives expression to how, after Jasbir K. Puar (2017) , Palestinians are routinely and systematically rendered disabled, or debilitated, by the Israel Occupation Forces. It is through the twin lenses of disability theory and critical race theory that I propose the concept of cinephilistinism, a term that attempts two things: firstly, to exp…

Nope
Jordan Peele's Nope (2022) features a shape-shifting and Cthulhu-esque alien that feeds off settlers and other arrivants in the California desert. Focusing in particular on the Haywoods, a family of Hollywood horse wranglers descended from the otherwise anonymous Black rider on the horse of Eadweard Muybridge's famous Animal Locomotion Plate 626, Nope can be read as suggesting the ubiquitous nature of anti-Black violence. Furthermore, this essay …
Expanding Career Diversity
Over the last few issues, the Bulletin has been brining you pieces to help scholars rethink professionalization and academic training in the study of religion. In this issue, William Brown, Senior Technical Editor at Quanta Technology, LLC offers some much-needed insight on this front. He contends that once academic units recognize and normalize nonacademic career pursuits, then these units can put into play proven practices to empower future rel…
The Colour of Film-Philosophy
This article draws upon the work of Sylvia Wynter and W.E.B. Du Bois in order to propose that film-philosophy has historically not paid due attention to race. Drawing upon the former’s concept of “the sociogenic principle”, as well as the latter’s theories of “the colour line” and “double-consciousness”, the article argues that modernity has been constructed coterminously with whiteness, as well as a “photographic/cinematographic” logic whereby B…
Black Cinematic Poethics
Drawing upon the work of various critical race theorists, including Frantz Fanon, Kevin Quashie, Hortense J. Spillers, Calvin L. Warren and Sylvia Wynter, this article suggests that if Blackness has historically been, and continues to be, cast outside of being and into being, or what Wynter terms désêtre, then for Blackness to give expression to itself and/or to prove (or improvise) its “aliveness” is a necessarily “poetic” process, given that po…
‘Subaltern’ imaginings of artificial intelligence
Black (W)hole Foods
This essay analyses the role played by okra in The Underground Railroad, together with how it functions in relation to the soil that sustains it and which allows it to grow. I argue that okra represents an otherwise lost African past for both protagonist Cora and for the show in general and that this transplanted plant, similar to the transplanted Africans who endured the Middle Passage on the way to ‘New World’ slave plantations, survives by goi…

Supercinema
Drawing on a variety of popular films, including Avatar, Enter the Void, Fight Club, The Matrix, Speed Racer, X-Men and War of the Worlds, Supercinema studies the ways in which digital special effects and editing techniques require a new theoretical framework in order to be properly understood. Here William Brown proposes that while analogue cinema often tried to hide the technological limitations of its creation through ingenious methods, digita…
Tachyons, tactility, drawing and withdrawing
Longitudinal, quantitative analyses of cinema have established how Hollywood is getting ‘quicker, faster, darker’. While in some senses the ‘intensified continuity’ of contemporary Hollywood narration is a given, the increased darkness of contemporary mainstream cinema remains unexplored – especially with regard to how its speed and its darkness might be inter-related. If to darken the majority of the screen during a film helps to draw our attent…

The squid cinema from hell
World Cinema Will not Work
In this essay, I engage with the concept of ‘world cinema,’ identifying ways in which the term ‘world’ might always already come loaded with masculine and, in particular, white connotations, such that a turn to ‘world cinema’ runs the risk of reaffirming the centrality of masculinity and whiteness—at a time when, perhaps it is of utmost importance, for the sake of the continuation of human and other life, to challenge and perhaps even to negate t…
Cancelling the apocalypse
In this essay, we propose that American sci-fi blockbuster Pacific Rim (Guillermo del Toro, USA, 2013) can be read as an example of chthulucinema. Chthulucinema is a posthumanist cinema that is primarily occupied with notions of the anthropocene and what in Staying With the Trouble, Donna J. Haraway would term the chthulucene– an era in which humans no longer exist as such, and instead either disappear and/or evolve into other lifeforms. In parti…

A Question of Agency
Over recent years African states have become increasingly prominent actors in high-level international politics. This article makes the case for studying Africa's international relations from the point of view of agency. The article outlines contemporary contexts within which questions of African agency have come to the fore and argues a need to think conceptually about agency in international politics in a way that accommodates the range of diff…
Africa and international relations
It has become rather commonplace to read that, what is referred to as ‘traditional, western IR theory’, is problematic when taken to the African continent. At best, we are told, IR theory misrepresents or misunderstands African reality, at worst it participates in an exercise of neo-colonial theoretical hegemony. In this article I will seek both to assess this ‘Africanist critique’ and to mount something of a qualified defence of IR theory. Howev…
In from the margins? The changing place of Africa in International Relations
This article surveys recent literature on Africa and International Relations (IR) and reviews the current place of Africa within the discipline. It notes that critical debates continue around claims of a mismatch between Africa and ‘mainstream’ IR theories and concepts. However, alongside this set of issues, there is in fact a burgeoning literature on many aspects of Africa's international relations. While some of these studies utilize existing I…
Restructuring north‐south relations
This article will examine the character of relations between the European Union and African, Caribbean and Pacific countries in the wake of the new EU‐ACP Partnership Agreement, signed in June 2000, and which replaces the longstanding Lomé Convention. The article views development cooperation as encapsulating particular political and economic relationships rather than constituting some kind of technical or apolitical endeavour. The origins of EU‐…

Reconsidering the Aid Relationship
Recent rhetoric surrounding the contemporary aid relationship between donors and African states is couched in terms of a high-level consensus between western and African political leaderships, a central pillar of which is adherence to liberal principles of governance and economic management. The paper argues that an analysis of the nature of this consensus and its prospects requires that we need to understand it as (1) encompassing specifically i…

Still one size fits all? Uneven and combined development and African gatekeeper states
This paper critically evaluates ‘one size fits all’ characterisations of African states in the context of diverse change in Africa. It provides an original critique of Frederick Cooper’s gatekeeper states concept based on a novel application of the theory of uneven and combined development. The theory draws attention to the unevenness of development across the international system, the production of multiple, combined forms of state, and points t…
Dimensions of Capacity in Nonprofit Human Service Organizations
The purpose of this paper is to present and develop a firmer grasp of the underlying dimensions of organizational capacity in nonprofit human service organizations. The paper draws on the resource-based view of the organization (Barney et al. in Journal of Management 37:1299, 2011; Wernerfelt in Strategic Management Journal 5:171, 1984), which recognizes that organizational attributes and capabilities facilitate performance. Interviews were condu…
The Commission for Africa
This article evaluates Western, and particularly British, policy towards Africa in the wake of the 2005 Commission for Africa, and considers what it tells us about the character of liberal internationalist policy towards the continent. The article reviews the Commission's report, Our Common Interest, and argues that it adheres in important respects to a 'liberal bargain' which has been at the heart of wider donor policy for some time. However, it…
The EU & structural adjustment
This article will assess European Union (EU) (Endnote 1) structural adjustment support and the relationship of it to the policies of the IMF and World Bank in the case of Zimbabwe. It will argue that contrary to the claims of the EU Commission, aid from the Convention has become dominated by adjustment concerns and that these are closely tied to the priorities of the Bretton Woods institutions

The Changing Nature of the Employment Contract
This paper analyzes the practical form that employment contracts take in terms of their incomplete and multilayered nature. It argues that the content of the contract is highly dependent upon the contextual power relationships. These are then analyzed in terms of the substantial changes that are occurring in the structure and conduct of collective bargaining and its economic and legal context. It is argued that the consequence is a greatly increa…

Policies for Decent Labour Standards in Britain
Decent labour standards are a prerequisite for perceived justice and social cohesion. Insofar as they have been achieved in Britain in the past, it has been the result of collective bargaining between employers and trade unions. This has all but vanished in the private sector and, it is argued, there is no chance of its being revived. Upholding labour standards now lies in the provision of statutory individual employment rights. Experience with m…
Déclin et refondation de la négociation collective en Grande-Bretagne
Ce texte examine les évolutions dans le rôle des syndicats et de la négociation collective en Grande-Bretagne. Il est clairement établi que, pendant la plus grande partie du siècle précédent, la négociation collective a défini les conditions d'emploi en Grande-Bretagne. Cependant, cette forme de régulation des conditions de travail s'est effondrée depuis les années 1980. L'argument principal de cet article est que l'accord tacite sur lequel repos…
Debating the Year of Africa
Rarely can there have been so much media attention on Africa as there was in the twelve months leading up to the G8 summit in July 2005. The crescendo of media coverage which greeted the Commission for Africa's report and the following Live8, Make Poverty History and G8 gatherings came after a year which had seen the launch and subsequent deliberations of the Commission for Africa, Blair's and Brown's various high profile initiatives on aid and d…

The role of “help networks” in facilitating use of CSCW tools
The pattern of CSCW system users helping other users to resolve problems and make more effective use of such tools has been observed in a variety of settings, but little is known about how help patterns develop or their effects. Results from a pre‐post study of the implementation of CSCW tools among university faculty, staff, and administration indicate that the network of helping relationships is largely disaggregated and generally follows work …

In this work the authors, with assistance of the staff of the Hudson Institute, confront the issue of the second half of the twentieth century; whether technological and economic growth tends to destroy mankind or to improve the prospects for peace and prosperity. The population explosion, coupled with economic growth, could prove catastrophic within a century, or so say the prophets of doom; therefore, economic growth must be severely limited. M…
