‘Tours of Imperialism’: Cricket and Cultural Transfer in South Africa, 1880–1910     

Dean Allen 《国际体育史杂志》2016,33(15):1717-1729

Abstract

Few can deny the significance of sport in today’s South Africa. The sporting structures upon which this is based were first introduced to the country by the British in the late nineteenth century. In line with policies of cultural imperialism, sports such as cricket were promoted at this time as part of a wider political agenda that encouraged the adoption of an ‘English’ way of life in the region. Sports tours, most notably cricket, were a fundamental part of this cultural transfer between the ‘Mother Country’ and her colonies in Southern Africa. To underpin the study of transnational linkages and transfer in African sports, this paper will offer an historical overview of how ‘British-styled’ sport arrived in South Africa and how the early cricket tours between England and South Africa were constructed to promote distinct political and cultural connections. This paper will explore the early development of cricket in South Africa and investigate its symbiotic link to British imperialism and colonialism via the first tours and sporting exchanges that took place. The origins of the game in South Africa will be examined as well as its development up to 1910 (the date of Union in South Africa) as the site of a constructed transnational 'brotherhood' between Britain and its most coveted African colonies.  相似文献   

标记性及其在母语迁移中的作用     

梁改萍  冯小钉 《平原大学学报》2006,23(6):97-100

母语迁移是二语习得研究中的重要领域之一。语言学和认知学理论将标记性纳入母语迁移的研究中。语言学以母语与目的语之间的标记差异做比较,说明母语迁移的可能性;认知学则以母语特征的典型范畴为基点,分析二语学习者对母语迁移的选择性。标记性理论的提出对英语教学和对外汉语教学有着十分重要的启示。  相似文献   

跨国公司技术转移研究评述   总被引：10，自引：0，他引：10  

孙文祥  彭纪生 《山西师大学报(社会科学版)》2004,31(4):23-30

跨国公司是影响世界经济发展和技术进步的重要力量。本文通过对1960年代以来国内外学术界有关跨国公司技术转移影响东道国或地区经济增长和技术进步的理论和实证研究成果进行细致的分析和梳理发现:整体上看,跨国公司的直接投资对东道国或地区经济增长和技术进步的影响是不确定的。在很多情况下,跨国公司的技术控制会造成东道国或地区企业长期的技术依赖。更重要的是,学术界一直缺乏基于提高东道国或地区技术创新能力视角的研究,更缺乏精确度量技术转移程度的指标体系,而这正是我们全面、客观、科学评价跨国公司技术转移和技术扩散的出发点。  相似文献   

Bilateral practice improves dominant leg performance in long jump     

Anne Focke  Sina Spancken  Christian Stockinger  Benjamin Thürer  Thorsten Stein 《European Journal of Sport Science》2016,16(7):787-793

Benefits of bilateral practice both for the non-dominant and for the dominant body side have been shown in several studies. Thereby, most of the studies included movement tasks of the upper extremity or investigated sports games in which the ability of acting bilaterally is an essential basis for success and, thus, a bilateral practice is reasonable anyway. Individual unilaterally performed sports including movement tasks of the lower extremity are rarely investigated. Therefore, the aim of our study was to test if contralateral transfer due to bilateral practice can be found in an unilaterally performed sport including the lower extremity. We trained and tested 61 adolescent athletes in long jump to compare the jumping performance of the dominant leg after a 12-week practice period between two groups: a bilateral practice group that practiced specific long jump exercises with both the dominant and non-dominant leg and an unilateral practice group that practiced specific long jump exercises only with the dominant leg. Results showed a superior effect of bilateral practice compared to unilateral practice regarding the jumping performance of the dominant leg. The performance increase at post-test and retention-test for the dominant limb was significantly higher for the bilateral practice group (pre-to-post: 5.2%, pre-to-retention: 7.4%) compared to the unilateral practice group (pre-to-post: 3.4%, pre-to-retention: 4.5%). Thus, bilateral practice should be established in the early practice programmes of track and field athletes to improve the performance of the dominant take-off leg.  相似文献   

基于语料库的学习者名词与名词搭配失误分析     

原斌华 《和田师范专科学校学报》2007,27(3):161-163

本文基于赋错误码的CLEC,探讨了中国英语学习者名词与名词搭配失误的类型,并从迁移的角度对不同类型的失误进行解释.采用的检索软件是Wo州smith.本文将失误分为名词 名词,名词 介词 名词,名词所有格 名词等五类.数据表明,学习者失误主要来源于母语负迁移的影响.而随着英语水平的提高学习者母语迁移的影响变化不显著.  相似文献

University,Knowledge and Regional Development: Factors Affecting Knowledge Transfer in a Developing Region     

Neba Samuel Fongwa 《Africa Education Review》2016,13(3-4):191-210

The role of knowledge in the current knowledge economy cannot be overly emphasised. Successful regions are continuously being linked to excellence in the production, accumulation, and application of knowledge. Universities have increasingly been at the centre of such knowledge production, application and transfer. Yet, there is little research and evidence in this regard pertaining to less developed countries. The paper aims to fill this gap. The study uses the conceptual notion of knowledge transfer to interrogate the engagement level between the university and its region. Using a qualitative approach comprising the use of primary and secondary data, the authors capture some of the factors affecting knowledge transfer. Highlighting both supply-side and demand-side factors, the authors argue in favour of a nuanced and complex negotiation of the knowledge-development interface between universities as knowledge producers and regional stakeholders as knowledge users. Such negotiations should take cognisance of local realities.  相似文献

土地征用制度的经济学分析及改革思路     

刘筱非 《重庆师专学报》2006,5(1):42-45

从经济学角度出发，运用生产者与消费者剩余，分析了土地征用制度的市场效率；指出现行制度供给不足是导致征地权滥用与征地行为不规范的根源；并指出制度的“路径依赖”性导致制度变迁的阻力较大。鉴于此，提出了改革的两种思路——完善土地征用制度和规范土地流转市场。当前应完善土地征用制度，随着经济发展与制度环境的改善，再过渡到全面改革土地征用制度上。  相似文献
