Introduction: comparative thinking in an age of corruption

In his introduction to Barack Obama's 2018 Nelson Mandela Lecture in Johannesburg, the South African writer Njabulo Ndebele commented on the dire political situation on both sides of the Atlantic: "What we came to see in South Africa as state capture," he declared, "seem[s] mirrored in the United States and other parts of the world by what we could call more accurately a 'capture of democracy.'" 1 Ordinary South Africans, too, saw parallels: quite a few wryly remarked to me that the 2016 election brought Americans the joys of a white Zuma. The laughable aspects of this comparison had in fact already been noted during Trump's campaign by the (South African-born, US-based) comedian Trevor Noah, who joked that the vulgar mogul was obviously presidential-but presidential for Africa, where he would be a fine companion to posturing strongmen like Muammar Gaddafi, Robert Mugabe, Idi Amin, and, yes, Jacob Zuma. Such observations return us, sobered, to the foundational premise for Safundi, namely that South Africa and the US can generate comparative insights, even though the mirrorthe familiar image that Ndebele redeploys-is often a distorted one. Comparative projects always negotiate tensions between sameness and difference, generalities and particularities; they proceed despite fundamental incommensurabilities and "develop within histories of hierarchical relation"-as contributors to this collection do not fail to point out. 2 Still, the scholarly project of thinking about the US and South Africa together, initiated by George M. Fredrickson's White Supremacy: A Comparative Study of American and South African History (1981), continues to generate compelling work. 3 Recent contributions include monographs (like Erica Still's

Increases in overt displays of homosocial tactility among men and declines in homophobia and homohysteria are contributing globally to changes in the social dynamics of masculine expressions. Said changes spill over into various social institutions, including that of contact sport. Long regarded as a hypermasculine context, studies show that rugby has become more inclusive. Although research conducted in the US and UK is well-documented, the topic remains under-researched in South Africa. To this end, the article relates findings of a qualitative sociological exploration of seven self-identified gay rugby players and their experiences of homohysteria. The findings showed that the participants mitigate homohysteria through accruing gender and body capital and establishing horizontal homosocial brotherhoods with their gay and heterosexual teammates.
