Being At Home stimulates careful conversation about some of the most pressing issues facing higher education institutions in South Africa today - race, transformation and institutional culture.
While there are many reasons to be despondent about the current state of affairs in the South African tertiary sector, this collection is intended as an invitation for the reader to see these problems as opportunities for rethinking the very idea of what it is to be a university in contemporary South Africa. It is also, more generally, an invitation for us to think about what it is that the intellectual project should ultimately be about, and to question certain prevalent trends that affect - or, perhaps, infect - the current global academic system.
This book will be of interest to all those who are concerned about the state of the contemporary university, both in South Africa and beyond.
Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are regarded by many as vital
role players in improving the lives of the poor and bringing about
social justice. This book includes contributions from NGO workers,
academics and social movement activists in order to provide varying
perspectives on what possible role NGOs can rightly play in popular
struggles. Consequently, the book does not have a single message
about what role NGOs ought to play in struggles for social justice,
but rather invites careful reflection and critical discussion on
their role both in South Africa and further afield.
Recorded live at the Glyndebourne Opera House in 2004, Alessandro
Corbelli takes the title role in Annabel Arden's whirlwind
production of Puccini's compact opera, in which the scheming Gianni
Schicchi retrieves for himself the spoils of a disinherited family
to pave the way for his daughter to marry her true love.
Robin Ticciati conducts the Age of Enlightenment Orchestra in this
production of Mozart's work, recorded at Glyndebourne in October
2015. Among the cast are Sally Matthews, Edgaras Montvidas, Tobias
Kehrer and Mari Eriksmoen.
