- Description: The speed with which technology is improving in the mobile communications market is widening the scope for opportunity to engage with audiences, provide information and capture their attention for that little while longer. Current technology such as 3G wireless technologies, which allow for high-speed data transmission, and access to multimedia content, as well as smart phones and tablet computers have already illustrated the potential for users to access information that is tailored to mobile devices and available anywhere.

Patrick Hayes. JM Coetzee and the Novel: writing and politics after Beckett
- Authors: Marais, Mike
- Date: 2012
- Language: English
- Type: text , article
- Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10962/144220 , vital:38322 , DOI: 10.1093/res/hgs014
- Description: According to Patrick Hayes, J. M. Coetzee's fiction, on a thematic level, ‘repeatedly suggests that the condition of modernity is made up of competing, equally important, and yet incommensurate ways of imagining the good community’ (p. 4). The first of these imaginings is grounded in the Kantian notion that the human individual is a rational and autonomous agent, and that it is precisely his or her rational autonomy, and capacity to direct life through neutral principles that commands the respect and recognition of other individuals. As is evident in its emphasis on rationality, this politic of equal dignity and recognition is universalistic in its claims. In contrast, the second imagining of community is based on the recognition of cultural specificity, and the argument that freedom and equal recognition are only possible through a revision of deleterious cultural stereotypes. In its terms, the good community ‘must be founded on the recognition, and active fostering of cultural particularity’ (p. 12). This politic of difference is highly suspicious of the universalizing claims of the politic of dignity, arguing that its appeal to equal dignity is itself a form of particularism masquerading as universalism.

Regular moult-breeding overlap in the Pale-winged Starling Onychognathus nabouroup

- Description: In an earlier publication, with a sample consisting entirely of dated museum specimens, I concluded that, at the population level, moult-breeding overlap occurred in the Pale-winged Starling Onychognathus nabouroup, and in two other southern African Sturnidae, for which both museum skins and ringing records were available (Craig 1983). Subsequently, additional Pale-winged Starling specimens were examined in a reassessment of the subspecies that had been described, but no further analysis of the moult was undertaken (Craig 1988a). As part of a current behavioural study of this species, 58 Pale-winged Starlings were captured and colour-ringed at Augrabies Falls National Park during October 2011, and moult data were recorded for each bird following the standard scoring system for primary wing-feathers (de Beer et al. 2001). This prompted a re-examination of my earlier data, including the application of the Underhill-Zucchini model (Underhill and Zucchini 1988) to the available material.
