1	Boeddhistiese simboliek en metaforiek, en die beskouing van sonde, skuld en straf in Die boeddha op bladsy 13 Maccani, Mario 06 1900 (has links) This dissertation consists of a novel, The Buddha on Page 13 and a dissertation of limited extent, "Buddhist symbolism and metaphoric, and the perception of sin, guilt and punishment in The Buddha on Page 13." In the dissertation of limited extent the role that guilt plays in the motivation of an individual's actions is investigated. The Christian and Buddhist views of sin are compared, and the conclusion is made that neither Christianity nor Buddhism can explain why mankind experiences the feeling of guilt. The central character, Toit Brink, finally accepts this "so-ness" of things: "thathatha". The dissertation explains how the style of the text wishes to be neutral, and how this neutrality is harnessed for Buddhist reasons. The Buddhist element in the novel's symbolism and metaphoric is illuminated, as well as the apparent contradiction of some of the metaphors. / Afrikaans & Theory of Literature / M.A. (Afrikaans) Punishment Guilt Contradictory Sin Metaphoric Symbolism Buddhism 839.3636 Buddhism in literature Symbolism in literature

3	Om die verlede te bemeester : geheue en identiteit in die prosa van Dana Snyman Pereira, Paula Naude 03 1900 (has links) Aspects of memory and identity with reference to the prose of Dana Snyman will be reflected in this research report. Concepts from memory studies, such as cultural and collective memory, collective identity as well as nostalgia and loss will serve as the matrix for a reading of his narratives. The reception of Weg, an Afrikaans outdoor magazine (and specifically the contri- butions by Snyman) amongst readers typified as the Weg-generation will be studied. Since the political transformation of 1994, there has been a renewed attempt by Afri- kaners to explore their identity and status in the new dispensation. Snyman’s nostalgic representation of this process can be linked to a current trend in Afrikaans literature where identity and roots are explored in order to redefine Self and Other. His stories document the Afrikaner culture of a bygone era with a view of coming to terms with that past. / Afrikaans / Thesis (M.A. (Afrikaans)) Snyman, Dana Collective identity Afrikaner culture Afrikaner identity Nostalgia 839.3636 Collective memory -- South Africa Group identity -- South Africa Group identity in literature Nostalgia in literature Afrikaners -- History Afrikaners -- Ethnic identity Loss (Psychology) in literature
