Travel was integral to Native Life in South Africa’s material creation, as well as to the book’s intellectual development and narrative architecture. Travel has been further implicated in the persistent if erratic circulation of Native Life since its 1916 publication. This paper explores the extent to which Sol Plaatje’s landmark political book – started at sea on the 1914 Native Congress mission, published in London during World War I, disseminated beyond, and reissued as a US edition in 1921 – might be considered an international product of the author’s movements and connections, and a restless, border-crossing witness to racial injustice. Native Life is read as a political travelogue, in conversation with other genres and discourses, through which Plaatje narrates and gives texture to the black South African crisis in the early years of white-minority-ruled South Africa, not least in relation to the 1913 Natives Land Act. Furthermore, Native Life is approached as a vehicle through which to examine the heightened politics of mobility and settlement in South Africa in historical and contemporary contexts, and to interrogate the lively and contentious arena of mobility’s metaphors in relation to progress.
Panel sponsored by the International Hagiography Society, for International Congress on Medieval Studies, Kalamazoo, USA, 12-16 May 2016. Co-organised with Dr Barbara E. Zimbalist (English, University of Texas at El Paso). Scholars have often commented on the link between sanctity and celebrity. Both the saint and the celebrity are elevated above the everyday, with identities carefully crafted by cultural producers to respond to the needs and desires of an audience, region, or temporality. Sacralisation/celebrification entails a series of processes which (re)formulate a subject into a product fit for social, political, and economic consumption. Yet sanctity/celebrity is not simply exploitative, but enjoyable and perhaps even empowering. What does it really mean to be a medieval celebrity? How does celebrity intersect with sanctity? What does such a categorization add to the study of hagiography? Can fame resonate on both a social and spiritual level, and how does the medieval idea of fame generate, overlap with, and inform contemporary discourses of fame, celebrity, and sanctity? Relevant topics for this session include: - Saints as commercial products and/or economic agents - The construction of Sanctity and Communal Identity - Audience reaction(s) to a saint and textual reception - Power dynamics between celebrity/saint and star- maker/confessor or hagiographer/cleric/scribe - The social function of celebrity/sanctity - Film theory’s contribution to the study of sanctity more generally

This study empirically examines how a firm’s bilateral strategic alignment exists, and impacts its financial performance through the introduction of further intermediary effects. We develop and empirically test hypothesis arguing that a firm’s bilateral strategic alignment between IT and business managers will impact its tacit knowledge management capability and managers exploration orientations; and in turn its financial performance. The data, from over 152 Jordanian public shareholding firms, using structural equation modeling generally support the hypotheses. Furthermore, the study’s findings suggest that a firm’s mutual strategic alignment impacts significantly its accounting and market –based performances by pursuing knowledge management strategy, but does not correlate significantly by following exploration strategy.
In the wake of the Second World War, thousands of members of the Horthy– and Szálasi–regime were brought before the newly established People’s Court system for war crimes and crimes against the people. The People’s Courts adjudicated cases of former prime ministers and ministers, as well as high-ranking military, gendarmerie and police officers in relation to the deportation of the Jewish population from the Hungarian countryside during the summer of 1944, atrocities committed on the Eastern from against the civilian population and Hungarian labor service members, as well as crimes against Jews during the Szálasi-regime. My paper focuses on the trials of those select group of Hungarian politicians and gendarmerie officers who devised and implemented the Final Solution in Hungary between March and July 1944, namely Prime Minister Döme Sztójay, Minister of Interior Andor Jaross, Undersecretaries of State in the Ministry of Internal Affairs László Endre and László Baky, gendarmerie liaison officer of Adolf Eichmann László Ferenczy and two other gendarmerie officers in charge of major deportation zones. In this case study, I probe the limits of judicial reckoning with the Holocaust in postwar Hungary from a historical and judicial perspective. First, I consider the breadth and prominence of crimes against the Jews within the indictments and the treatment they received during the trial and in the verdicts. I also investigate the evidentiary basis and arguments upon which the guilty verdicts were pronounced. How were the historical and legal problems framed, and to what extent were they based on facts and sound legal reasoning – I ask. Secondly, I look at the new legal tools and the innovative way they were employed in the trials. What were the arguments and counterarguments at the time against retroactive justice and how were they treated by the parties and the courts – I inquire. The paper contributes to the field of regional Holocaust studies and the application of criminal law in post–World War II Eastern Europe.
