Ringing One Missed Call: Franchising, transnational flows and genre production
Authors: Rawle Steven 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Eric Valette’s 2008 remake of Miike Takashi’s 2004 J-horror film Chakushin ari / One Missed Call calls into question a simple East/West economic and contextual binary often assumed in cases of transnational remakes, regarding the purity of an original ‘exotic’ Other and the debased, impure ‘corporate’ American remake. One Missed Call cannot be so easily placed into national cinema categories when we explore the production and financial origins of the film however, given the transnational nature of the remake’s content and production. This article explores how transnational remakes engage with transnational flows of production and influence, thinking about how transnational modernity works with what Koichi Iwabuchi terms ‘cultural odor’. The article challenges the presence of an ‘original’ in the transnational franchising of the One Missed Call films, contending that Ring (Nakata Hideo, 1998) and The Ring (Gore Verbinski, 2002) have functioned as metatexts in both Miike’s and Valette’s versions of One Missed Call. In so doing, the article examines the characteristics of transnational media production on an economic and political basis.
Birds of paradise: Feathers, fetishism and costume in classical Hollywood
Authors: Dirix Emmanuelle 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This article aims to investigate the reasons for the prolific use of feathers in 1930s Hollywood costume. Instead of positioning them merely as a spectacular tool of glamour in the Golden Age, it will focus on feathers as a form of material culture and specifically on their fetishistic nature in order to pose an alternative explanation for their sartorial popularity in a decade marked by the introduction of the Production/Hays Code. I wish to demonstrate that by shifting the methodological emphasis on feathers from object to subject, we open up an autonomous narrative for the material that would be missed when focussing only on its contextual reading. This in turn potentially offers a new dimension as to their use, in particular as a metaphor for female sexuality and therefore as a vehicle for reading 1930s cinematic sexuality.
Femininity and costume in 1930s horror
Authors: Slee Ellie 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This article addresses the repeated use of imagined sartorial archaisms in female costuming in 1930s Hollywood horror films, by both analysing the physical make-up of the dress in question and bringing contemporary and historical outside influences into account. It examines female costuming as both a plot facilitator and one of the true visual symbols of the Gothicism that proliferated in films of the era. The article also focuses on the limited roles for women, particularly in 1930s horror, and the way in which costume reinforces and compounds this. The influx of German Expressionist film-makers to America prior to World War II brought Romanticism into the mainstream. It was accountable for the Gothic subject matter and aesthetic of Hollywood’s ensuing horror films over a period of decades, beginning with Dracula (Browning, 1931). It also marked a new dawn in female costuming for Hollywood, when women were not wearing historical dress, or contemporarily fashionable dress, but an imagined, evocative dress that never existed in history, but simultaneously looked as if it had.
Dressing for the future: Speculative fashion in 1930s Hollywood
Authors: Curtis Barry 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The interwar years saw extensive speculation on the future in all fields of design. Hollywood was remarkably reticent on the subject and ‘science fiction’ was a subordinate genre. This article explores significant films that were set in the future with particular regard to dress and architectural mise-en-scène. It suggests how certain tropes of future dress, partly indebted to avant-garde design and partly adapted from historical fictions, were deployed and considers in some detail the futuristic Just Imagine of 1930, popular serials of the era and finally the utopian Lost Horizon of 1937. It concludes with some reflections on how dress appeared as part of the future proposed by the New York World’s Fair of 1939.
Necropolitical violence and post-independence Guinean literature
Authors: Baker Charlotte 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The first President of the Republic of Guinea, Ahmed Sékou Touré, ruled from independence in 1958 to his death in 1984. Initially admired for his socialist revolutionary policies in the wake of colonial domination, he later emerged as a dictator who ruthlessly crushed opposition. As violence became synonymous with the state and its regime of terror, Guineans lived in an unpredictable world in which any gesture might be interpreted as offensive to the regime and result in their incarceration or death. Drawing on Hannah Arendt’s understanding of the relationship between violence and power and Achille Mbembe’s notion of necropolitics to explore the relationship between violence and authority that characterized Touré’s regime, this article examines the significance of the various narrative strategies adopted by Camara Laye, Alioum Fantouré, Tierno Monénembo and Williams Sassine. These and other Guinean writers have responded to the violence of Touré’s regime by challenging genres, disrupting the linear progression of narratives, playing with language and representing a series of broken and merging characters in their literary work. More than merely documenting the trauma of Touré’s dictatorial rule, this analysis proposes that the novels discussed here are shaped by the violence of the regime at which they level a critique.
Ahmed Sékou Touré, premier président de la République de Guinée, a dirigé le pays depuis l’année de son indépendance en 1958 jusqu’à sa mort en 1984. Initialement admiré pour sa politique révolutionnaire socialiste au lendemain de la domination coloniale, il est devenu dictateur, écrasant impitoyablement son opposition. La violence est devenue synonyme de l’état et de son régime de terreur. Le peuple guinéen vivait alors dans un monde imprévisible dans lequel tout geste pouvait être interprété comme une offense au régime et pouvait mener à leur incarcération ou entraîner leur mort. Partant de l’analyse de Hannah Arendt du rapport entre le pouvoir et la violence et de la notion du pouvoir nécropolitique d’Achille Mbembe pour considérer la relation entre violence et autorité qui a caractérisé le régime de Touré, cet article examine l’importance des diverses stratégies narratives de Camara Laye, Alioum Fantouré, Tierno Monénembo et Williams Sassine. Ces auteurs guinéens, et bien d’autres encore, ont répondu à la violence du régime de Touré en perturbant le genre, en rompant la linéarité des narrations, en jouant avec la langue, et en représentant une série de personnages brisés et fusionnés dans leurs romans. Plus qu’une simple retranscription du traumatisme occasionné par le gouvernement dictatorial de Touré, les romans analysés ici ont été façonnés par la violence du régime sur lequel ils portent un jugement critique.
Death and the creole maiden: Do Chita and Youma haunt today’s creolization?
Authors: Wiedorn Michael 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
This critical reading of Lafcadio Hearn’s novels Chita (1889) and Youma (1890b) argues that Hearn’s conception of the creole, while it inspired the rather optimistic late twentieth-century proponents of the term, was nonetheless haunted by suffering and death. In Chita (1889), which casts the creole as representing a harmonious world of multiplicity (be it ethnic, linguistic, racial, etc.), a cataclysmic storm wipes that world away in the form of a fragile Gulf Coast community. In Youma (1890b), a young woman torn between two worlds tragically ends her own life. Both texts show that for Hearn the Creole is precisely what is disappearing, moribund. The conclusion connects Hearn to the créolistes (who claimed him as an influence) and to that prophet of creolization, Edouard Glissant (who rejects Hearn). It argues that while the créolistes’ conceptions of the Creole are more optimistic, concerned more with the future and less so with death, the term ‘creole’ remains fraught and undecided in their work as in Hearn’s. In doing so, this article challenges the créolistes and Glissant, suggesting that ‘creoleness’ and ‘creolization’ risk becoming unmoored from the Creole, and that Hearn’s agony-ridden legacy lingers on today.
Cette lecture critique des romans Chita: A Memory of Last Island (1889) et Youma: The Story of a West-Indian Slave (1890b) propose que la conception du créole chez Lafcadio Hearn, bien qu’elle soit une inspiration pour les théoriciens du créole plutôt optimistes de la fin du vingtième siècle, était néanmoins hantée par la souffrance et la mort. La conclusion de cette étude relie le travail de Hearn à ceux des créolistes (qui le voyaient comme une source d’inspiration) et du prophète de la créolisation, Edouard Glissant (qui a pourtant rejeté Hearn). Ce faisant, elle montre que malgré le fait que la conception du créole chez les créolistes soit plutôt utopique, le terme « créole » reste tendu et indécis chez eux comme chez Hearn. En conséquence, cet essai entreprend une critique, postulant que la ‘créolité’ et la ‘créolisation’ risquent de perdre leurs amarres avec le ‘créole’, et que le legs de Hearn, marqué par l’agonie, persiste aujourd’hui.
Creolizing the Caribbean ‘Coolie’: A biopolitical reading of Indian indentured labourers and the ethnoclass hierarchy
Authors: Hardwick Louise 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Indentured immigration from India to the Caribbean began after abolition. In the French context, it is estimated that a total of 74,386 people undertook the transoceanic journey. These indentured labourers became known as ‘coolies’, although the term itself is inherently transnational, projective and ambiguous, and carries (to this day) considerable pejorative nuances. Significant differences exist between Anglophone and Francophone Caribbean perceptions of coolies. Whereas in the Anglophone world, authors such as V. S. Naipaul have raised the visibility of coolies, in Francophone Caribbean literature, coolie authors, and indeed coolie protagonists, have occupied an ambiguous, subaltern position. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s understanding of the relationship between biopolitics, violence and power, and in particular his concepts of ‘homo sacer’, ‘bare life’ and the ‘state of exception’, this article examines the narrative strategies adopted by Raphaël Confiant and Maurice Virassamy in their contrasting accounts of the coolie experience. The neglected position of the coolie in the complex French Caribbean ethnoclass hierarchy is explored through a biopolitical reading, reassessing questions of marginalization and exclusion to ask to what extent the coolie may be considered ‘creolized’?
L’immigration des engagés de l’Inde aux Antilles a commencé suite à l’abolition de l’esclavage. Dans le contexte français, on estime que 74 386 personnes ont entrepris le voyage transatlantique. Ces engagés furent désignés sous le nom de ‘coolies’, bien que le terme soit transnational, projectif et ambigu, et qu’il transmette, jusqu’à aujourd’hui, des nuances péjoratives. De grandes différences existent entre les perceptions anglophones et francophones des coolies. Dans le monde anglophone, des auteurs tels V. S. Naipaul ont mis en lumière la présence des coolies, tandis que dans la littérature francophone antillaise, les auteurs coolies, voire les personnages coolies, continuent d’occuper une position ambiguë et subalterne. En se référant aux idées de Giorgio Agamben sur la ‘relation entre la biopolitique, la violence et le pouvoir, et surtout à ses concepts d’homo sacer, de ‘la vie nue’ et de ‘l’état d’exception’, cet article traite de la signification des stratégies narratives adoptées par Raphaël Confiant et Maurice Virassamy dans leurs textes sur l’expérience dite ‘coolie’. La position du coolie dans la hiérarchie complexe des ethnoclasses aux Antilles francophones sera analysée à partir d’une lecture biopolitique, qui conduira à une reconsidération de la marginalisation et de l’exclusion du coolie, pour tenter de comprendre enfin dans quelle mesure nous pouvons considérer le coolie comme étant ‘créolisé’.
Fortress Europe: Identity, race and surveillance
Authors: Thomas Dominic 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Recent realignments of the global geopolitical landscape have further exacerbated the plight of migrants, displaced as they have been by repressive dictatorships, social upheaval and the lingering consequences associated with conflict and political turmoil, inducing children, women and men to board makeshift and unseaworthy crafts in an attempt to reach the Mediterranean shores of Europe. These ocean crossings have been punctuated by images of shipwrecks and bodies washed ashore. Yet, comprehensive efforts continue to be made to harmonize policy between EU member states in order to further restrict migration. Additionally, attempts have been made to promote a sense of shared identity, for the most part through recourse to exclusionary mechanisms that have fastened on the non-Europeanness of Third Country Nationals. Far Right political parties have been especially adept at exploiting these cultural and social fractures, and recent electoral successes have resulted in their policy agendas being further mainstreamed as other political parties have recognized the incontrovertible appeal of their arguments. The founding principles of the European Union now find themselves subjected to scrutiny as observers monitor the capacity of the institution to address these twenty-first-century challenges.
De récents réalignements dans le paysage géopolitique mondial ont exacerbé la détresse des migrants qui sont déplacés par des dictatures répressives, des bouleversements sociaux, et les conséquences persistantes des conflits et de l’agitation politique. Par conséquent, enfants, femmes et hommes tentent d’atteindre les rivages méditerranéens de l’Europe dans des embarcations improvisées et précaires. Ces traversées de l’océan ont été ponctuées par des images de naufrages et de corps échoués sur le rivage. Cependant, de vastes efforts continuent d’être faits pour harmoniser la politique entre les membres des états de l’Union européenne afin de restreindre davantage les migrations. De plus, des tentatives ont été entreprises pour promouvoir un sens de l’identité partagée, en majeure partie à travers un recours aux mécanismes exclusifs liés à la non-européanité de ressortissants de pays tiers. Les partis politiques de l’extrême droite ont été particulièrement adeptes dans l’exploitation de ces fractures culturelles et sociales. Par suite de récents succès électoraux, leurs agendas politiques ont été récupérés par des partis politiques dominants qui ont reconnu l’incontestable attrait de leurs arguments. Les principes fondateurs de l’Union européenne se trouvent maintenant remis en question car les observateurs surveillent la capacité de ces institutions à répondre aux défis du XXIème siècle.
The comparative study of Spain and Portugal in the social sciences: Insight from the study of immigration to the Iberia peninsula
Authors: Larson Jared D. 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
While the term ‘Iberian’, as in Iberian Studies, is far from ambiguous, its use is often short of comprehensive. In the social sciences, and more specifically in the field of migration studies, few students or scholars of the Spanish case are well versed in the realities of Portugal and vice-versa. But as Iberianists, unless we truly study the whole of the Peninsula, we limit the reach of our research and forego the rich insight that comparative work provides, especially in terms of theory building. This article proffers two reasons why the comparative study of the politics of immigration to Spain and Portugal has not been maximized and two reasons why an intensified sense of ‘Iberianism’ would deepen our own understanding of the social realities within the Peninsula and offer our counterparts in other area studies, particularly migration scholars, the tools with which to build on migration theory.

The rise and fall of a contentious social policy option – narratives around the Ugandan Anti-Homosexuality Bill in the domestic press
Authors: Strand Cecilia 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
In 2009, the Anti-Homosexuality Bill was introduced to the Ugandan parliament for consideration. This article analyses how the domestic press, most notably the privately owned, substantially changed the narratives around the Bill during the first eight months after it had been introduced to the general public. The study argues that although a traditional content analysis reveals changes in media’s attention, media narratives, it does not tell us much about the intricate interplay behind those emerging narratives. The article thus argues for a need to supplement content analysis with a broader analysis of the socio-political context, including transnational anti-gay and human rights activism, international politics on gender and sexuality, as well as aid dependence for understanding changing media narratives on a domestic social policy option.
Ethical dilemma revisited: PBO newspapers and the professional elbowroom of the Nigerian journalist
Authors: Ojebode Ayobami 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Focusing on politician-businessperson-owned (PBO) newspapers, the study examined how loyalty to the owners’ multiple interests has reduced the professional elbowroom of the Nigerian journalist. Through in-depth interviews and textual analysis, the study found that journalists in PBO newspapers are extremely constrained on the kind of stories they write and how. Caught in the conflict between professionalism and pandering to the owners’ layers of political and economic interests, many journalists submit, while some rebel. The narrowed elbowroom is a reason for many of the ethical violations among Nigerian journalists.
Alternative Dispute Resolution Systems in the Zimbabwean media industry and the debate on self-regulation
Authors: Mhiripiri Nhamo Anthony 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Alternative Dispute Resolution Systems (ADRs) for conflict resolution in the media are processes ‘alternative’ to statutory courts. Players in the Zimbabwean media industry are developing and promoting ADRs as a means of evading the restrictive, expensive and time-consuming legal courts. Media and complainants arguably have speedier and satisfying resolutions outside the courts. However, typical of Zimbabwe there are marked signs of contestation, controversy and lack of unanimity with regard to the ADRs. On the one hand, there is the Voluntary Media Council of Zimbabwe (VMCZ), a self-regulatory structure favoured by the privately owned media players. On the other hand, there is the Zimbabwe Media Commission (ZMC) formed under statutory law and whose structure is still not adequate to resolve cases brought before it. VMCZ and ZMC are contesting for legitimacy and in various ways they present dialectical positions on the debate on self-regulation. One media house, Alpha Media Holdings, has formed its own ADR system that uses the ombudsman. This article uses press reports and interviews of key people in the media and the ADRs in order to ascertain the effectiveness and problems of the evolving processes, making comparisons with the United Kingdom and South African scenarios where similar debates on Press Councils are topical, especially after the publication of the report on the Leveson Enquiry.
Climate change in Ugandan media: A ‘Global Warming’ of journalism ethics
Authors: Semujju Brian 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
The idea of climate change has reached a contentious breaking point at an international level where its major causes, existence and intensity are separating informed minds. This article is an examination of the four major schools of thought on climate change and how two newspapers in Uganda are covering those divergent views. The article argues that in the coverage of global warming in particular the hitherto treasured notion of objectivity has been replaced by a form of blind journalism instigated by frames from local and international stakeholders. The study analyses content from two newspapers in Uganda to show that media in Uganda cover the resonating frame, which argues that climate change is a time bomb, with total disregard for other views or their existence. Guided by the framing theory, the article suggests that a detachment of climate change from international meanings and an introduction of the ‘scientific spirit’ will restore balance by inviting media to explore counter-frames.
The heart of darkness
Authors: Newell Hannah 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
Examining the controversial art practice of Dutch artist Renzo Martens, this article examines the ‘heart of darkness’ beating within contemporary social practice. Written for a collection of texts on the theme of ‘exchange’ and concentrating on Martens’s most recent project, the Institute for Human Activities (IHA), based on a Congolese plantation, this piece asks what is really exchanged through participation in social art and who really benefits.
Material Communications
Authors: Diatta Doremy 
Published: January 2015

Abstract
All of us have a place in our homes where we keep meaningful things. These are things that would be devastating to lose or have destroyed. Our relationship with these things shows us how we have a fundamental, innate relationship to the objects around us. It is curious how design might begin to play a strategic role here. Design can be defined as a process that acts as a mediator between people, objects and spaces often concentrated on ergonomics, economic efficiency, functionality, ‘sustainability’ and technology. Material Communications provides a way for makers to critique this and adapt their existing design process in order to take care and reflect on the meaning and significance of supplying individuals with material objects. The process of designing products and environments is rich with tactics for making and arranging tangible objects and spaces. Unfortunately, design in its current state is yet to provide a strategy that explicitly addresses this potential. As an interior and product designer, my research is focused around re-orienting the design process as a strategy to slow down and to nurture our relationships to artefacts.
Material Communications is a strategy applied in family therapy that expands the understanding of the cognitive world for designers, and reveals the value of the material world for cognitive scientists. This research method has been put into action in a case study within child and family therapy. Through this research I have asked, ‘How might the process for design be used to bridge the gap between the material world and the cognitive world?
