A critical study of the evidence of Andries Stockenstrom before the Aborigines Committee in 1835, viewed in the light of his statements and policies before 1935Urie, J M January 1953 (has links)
In recent years, increasing interest has been taken in the career of Andries Stockenstrom. Detailed study of his policy as Landdrost of Graaff-Reinet , as Commissioner-General of the Eastern Districts, and as Lieutenant-Governor, has brought about a realization of the soundness and value of much of his work. This appreciation of the sterling qualities of Stockenstrom's character- despite his undoubtedly difficult temperament - has led to the tacit assumption that the accusations which were levelled against him, and the odium in which he was held in Albany, after his evidence before the Aborigines Committee 1835 -1836, were largely the result of unfortunate newspaper propaganda. That evidence, it is implied - coming as it did at a time when public opinion was peculiarly sensitive to criticism - was in fact, not as black as it had been painted. Yet the events of the period between the Commissioner-Generalship and the Lieutenant- Governorship have not only coloured the judgment upon Stockenstrom of almost every writer on South African history, but so influenced contemporary public opinion as to materially impair the efficiency of his Lieutenant-Governorship. In writing this thesis, it has heen my purpose to make a detailed study of such material as is available for the period 1833-1836, and to endeavour, by an analysis of the evidence more particularly in the light of the years before 1833, to set this significant period in Stockenstrom' s career in its right perspective.

Portland's "Refugee from Occupied Hollywood": Andries Deinum, his Center for the Moving Image, and Film Education in the United StatesPetrocelli, Heather Oriana 29 November 2012 (has links)
Two years after Dutch émigré Andries Deinum was fired from the University of Southern California in 1955 for refusing to cooperate with the House Un-American Activities Committee, he moved to Portland, Oregon to teach film courses through the Portland Extension Center. By 1969 he had become integral to the local film community and had formed Portland State University's Center for the Moving Image (CMI), where he and Tom Taylor taught film history, criticism, and production for the next thirteen years. Although CMI was eliminated in 1981 as part of PSU's financial exigency, CMI's teachers and students have been a vital part of the thriving film community in Portland since its foundation. A key former student and figure in Portland's film community, Dr. Brooke Jacobson credits Deinum, Taylor, and CMI for laying the foundation for the Northwest Film Center (co-founded by Jacobson in 1971 as the Northwest Film Study Center). Through archival research and oral history methodology, this thesis pieces together Andries Deinum's role in the development of film education in the United States and the mark he left on Portland's cultural landscape, specifically the city's vital and thriving cinematic community.

Inherent ecology : an examination of sculpture by Walter Oltmann, Andries Botha and Paul Edmunds.Edmunds, Paul Jonathan. January 1995 (has links)
I begin by describing Western culture in the way proposed by Fritjof Capra whose ideas
remain seminal to my argument throughout this examination. I argue that Western value
systems are in the midst of a major transformation, exhibiting an increasing Ecological
awareness. I define Ecology as an all-encompassing phenomenon which includes the
biological definition of the term as well as the practice of environmental, peace and feminist
groups and movements. As such it is seen as a philosophy or approach to experiencing the
world which has much in common with many spiritual traditions, contentions and intuitions.
I concentrate especially on Buddhism and Taoism insofar as they articulate seminal aspects
of Ecology. Situating this notion of cultural transformation and Ecology into a South African
context, I interpret Waiter Oltmann's sculptures in relation to this, inherently and consciously
embracing Ecological concepts and ideas and redressing cultural imbalances with his images
and techniques. Andries Botha's work is likewise seen to question cultural imbalances and
to pose questions about new and dynamic relationships within society and culture. His work
is seen to relate very closely to Capra's ideas. Finally I discuss my own sculptures, noting
how they relate to Botha's and Oltmann's works and how I consciously set out to address and
articulate ideas pertaining to Ecology and my experience of the world in these terms. I
discuss the origins of my images, techniques and materials and the construction of my works,
describing how these relate intentionally and intuitively to the ideas which inform my work.
My discussion of art making in terms of Ecology intends as much to offer a new
interpretation of this art making as it does to illuminate and illustrate aspects of Ecology. In
conclusion I situate this argument in the South African context, discussing how my discourse
can be seen to enrich and compliment a particularly South African interpretation of these
artists' works which could draw on traditional South African or Christian cultures and
traditions. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 1995.

The Stockenström judgment, the Warren report and the Griqualand West rebellion, 1876-8White, Anthony Nevins January 1978 (has links)
From Preface: South African frontiers periodically provided the backdrop for conflict between Blacks and Whites over land, and, in this respect, Griqualand West proved no exception. The arrival of the trekboers in the 1830s heralded the beginning of the land problem in Griqualand West, and the situation worsened with the discovery of diamonds and the subsequent influx of land-hungry Whites. By the 1870s the stage was then set for a major clash between Blacks and Whites with land as the central focus. The Griqualand West Administration tried to rectify this situation in 1875 by setting up a Land Court under Judge Andries Stockenström. Stockenström's judgment was highly controversial, as many Griqua and Blacks lost land, although no land which had been claimed by a Griqua or Black was granted to a White. As Stockenström had not resolved the land problem, the Griqualand West authorities brought in Captain Charles Warren to settle the matter of land ownership in the Province. The Warren Report was considered by all concerned to be fair, but it did not prevent the outbreak of hostilities in 1878. The two main foci of this study are, then, land ownership and the Rebellion and the link, if any, between them. The main sources for the work have been the Griqualand West archive in the Cape Archives, for the period 1872-1880, and various newspapers. The Cape and Imperial Blue Books were useful sources, especially on the military history of the rebellion. Interviews conducted in Bophuthatswana and Griqualand West clarified many obscure points and raised others, most of which have been answered in this work. A considerable number of contemporary published works were also consulted, but, although most mentioned the land problem and the Rebellion, few contained anything worthy of mention, especially with regard to the military history of the Rebellion. / KMBT_363 / Adobe Acrobat 9.54 Paper Capture Plug-in
