Sport (New Zealand Magazine)
''Sport'' was a New Zealand literary magazine, edited and published by Fergus Barrowman. It was founded in 1988 and ran until 2019. History Barrowman co-founded the magazine in 1988 with Elizabeth Knox, Damien Wilkins, and Nigel Cox, with support from Bill Manhire, Alan Preston and Andrew Masonin. Barrowman said in an interview in 2012 that the name ''Sport'' was intended to be a joke but that it had caused confusion: "There are lots of cultured types who've never got close enough to the magazine to know what it is, and it's hell to explain overseas. I still get misdirected orders and submissions". At various times ''Sport'' was co-edited or guest-edited by James Brown, Catherine Chidgey, Gregory O'Brien, Sara Knox, Lara Strongman, Andrew Johnston, and Sally-Ann Spencer. It was published twice a year until November 2003, at which point it began being published annually. Controversy over Creative New Zealand defunding In 2013, Creative New Zealand (CNZ) announced that the magaz ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fergus Barrowman
Fergus Barrowman (born 1961) is a New Zealand publisher and literary commentator. He has been the publisher at Victoria University Press since 1985. Career In addition to running Victoria University Press, Barrowman also edited and published the New Zealand literary magazine ''Sport'' from 1988 until its final issue in 2019. He co-founded the magazine with Elizabeth Knox, Damien Wilkins and Nigel Cox. The name was Barrowman's idea and he intended it to be a playful reference to the divide between the worlds of sport and literature. He noted in 2005 that the name can cause problems: "I still get people saying I've never looked at ''Sport'' because I don't like sport". ''Sport'' published the first works of Emily Perkins and Catherine Chidgey, as well as being an early publisher of Kate Flannery, Annamarie Jagose, Chris Orsman and Peter Wells. In 2008, Eleanor Catton's work first appeared in ''Sport'', before the publication of her first novel ''The Rehearsal''. In 1996 Bar ...

Mass Media In Wellington
Mass is an intrinsic property of a body. It was traditionally believed to be related to the quantity of matter in a physical body, until the discovery of the atom and particle physics. It was found that different atoms and different elementary particles, theoretically with the same amount of matter, have nonetheless different masses. Mass in modern physics has multiple definitions which are conceptually distinct, but physically equivalent. Mass can be experimentally defined as a measure of the body's inertia, meaning the resistance to acceleration (change of velocity) when a net force is applied. The object's mass also determines the strength of its gravitational attraction to other bodies. The SI base unit of mass is the kilogram (kg). In physics, mass is not the same as weight, even though mass is often determined by measuring the object's weight using a spring scale, rather than balance scale comparing it directly with known masses. An object on the Moon would weigh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

New Zealand Literature
New Zealand literature is literature, both oral and written, produced by the people of New Zealand. It often deals with New Zealand themes, people or places, is written predominantly in New Zealand English, and features Māori culture and the use of the Māori language. Before the arrival and settlement of Europeans in New Zealand in the 19th century, Māori culture had a strong oral tradition. Early European settlers wrote about their experiences travelling and exploring New Zealand. The concept of a "New Zealand literature", as distinct from English literature, did not originate until the 20th century, when authors began exploring themes of landscape, isolation, and the emerging New Zealand national identity.. Māori writers became more prominent in the latter half of the 20th century, and Māori language and culture have become an increasingly important part of New Zealand literature. New Zealand literature has developed into a major part of modern New Zealand culture through ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
