The language of the theatre in the apocalypse of JohnVoortman, Terence Craig 23 August 2012 (has links)
M.A. / An explanation of what I will be doing. how I will be doing. it, and why I will be doing this research is given below. The purpose of this subsection is to enable the reader to have greater clarity regarding the overall objectives of the thesis. Chapter 1: "Ezekiel the Tragedian" The objective of chapter 1 is to examine the link between apocalypse and tragedy as genre forms. The work of Ezekiel the Tragedian belongs to the world of both tragedy and apocalypse. Ezekiel, the Hellenistic Jew, was clearly influence by a Hellenistic genre form (namely Greek tragedy) in his work the "Exodus of Moses" (an inter-testamental work based on the Exodus of Moses as mentioned in the Old Testament). Ezekiel the Jew adapts his message towards his Hellenistic audience. The question one asks is "Could John, the Jew, likewise have adapted his message towards his Hellenistic audience? Could John have used Greek drama to communicate his prophetic-apocalyptic message to his Hellenistic audience?". 1.Biermann and I.Grabe, ibid,lff. "The Exodus of Moses" has significant points of comparison with the Revelation of John. These include a vision of a figure seated on a throne in heaven (a typically apocalyptic scene), seven plagues of judgement, a battle involving huge armies, the Exodus account of the deliverance of Israel, and a chorus who sings choral songs. Ezekiel adapts and develops the Biblical narrative and expresses it in the genre of Greek drama. Chapter2: "Tragedy and the Hellenistic World" The objective of chapter 2 is to examine the evidence of tragedy in Hellenistic times. This will include examining the influence of traaedy in the seven cities of Asia Minor to whom John writes, as well as the Jews and their association with the theatre. The popularity of tragedy will be researched. The use of tragedy in the Imperial cult will be also be examined. The question that needs to be asked is "Would John be influenced by Greek drama in his communicating with the seven churches of Asia Minor? And were his audience in the seven cities familiar with Greek drama?" Chapter 3: "The Elements of _Greek Drama in the 126 -v'@ation of John" The objective of chapter 3 is to examine research regarding the Revelation of John and Greek drama. The research shall be discussed in terms of certain features common to Greek drama (for example acts and scenes, the role of the chorus. the structure, the dramatic actors etc). Furthermore, my intention is to show that a number of reputable scholars have noted significant similarities between the Revelation of John and Greek drama, with some even arguing that the Revelation of John is written in the form of a Greek drama. The viewpoint that the Revelation is written in the szenre of Greek tragedy is a respectable viewpoint and has a noteworthy following. Chapter 4: The Form of the Revelation" The form of Revelation will be compared with the form of Greek drama in chapter 4. The purpose is to see whether noteworthy similarities of form exist between the Revelation and Greek drama. Chapter 5: The Function of the Revelation" The cathartic' function of Greek tragedy and the cathartic function of the Revelation will be examined. The question asked is: "does the Revelation have a cathartic function? and if so how does this cathartic function compare with Greek tragedy? Why would the revelation have a cathartic effect?" Chapter 6: "The Throne Scene" The "throne scene" of chapter 4 following is one of the most important scenes in the Revelation of John. "Throne scenes"are popular accounts in both prophetic and apocalyptic writings 63. In this chapter we shall examine the "throne scene" from the viewpoint of Greek drama, so as to see whether it would indeed be possible to communicate a throne scene effectively in Greek drama practice. `Catharsis means "healing" in lavmens terms. This is abundantly clear in the throne scenes of Isaiah and Ezekiel in the Old Testament, as well as an abundance of throne scenes in inter-testamental apocalyptic writings.

Northern Sotho historical dramas : a historical-biographical analysisBopape, M. L. (Malekutu Levy) 06 1900 (has links)
The main aim of the study is to make a historical-biographical analysis of four selected
Northern Sotho dramatic texts. Chapter one illustrates that the texts we have selected
are historical dramas since they deal with the life histories of historical characters. In
order to comprehend these texts, it is important to view them as evidence of oral history.
The chapter also discusses the approach used by Fleischman which consists of the
following parameters: authenticity, intention, reception, social function, narrative syntax
and finally narrator involvement.
Chapter two discusses the play Marangrang as a reflection of the consequences of
Shaka's imperialism and how this affected the Eastern Transvaal in 1820. The chapter
illustrates that in order to understand the life history of Marangrang, it is important to
discuss it in relation to this period, popularly known as difaqane. It is clear that
information about Marangrang has been deliberately distorted because of fear.
Chapter three deals with the destructive consequences of Western religion on the
traditional African religion. The chapter is based on the life history of Kgasane, who was
murdered in 1884, allegedly for his devotion to Christianity. The chapter shows the
importance of the need to make a re-interpretation of missionary writings, specifically
those surrounding the Berlin Mission Society in South Africa.
Chapter four focuses on the role of formal education in the destruction of the Bakgaga
ba GaMphahlele history. The chapter is based on the life history of Kgosi Mmutle Ill in
bringing formal education to the people of Mphahlele and how this destroyed certain
traditional institutions such as chieftainship.
Chapter five deals with the problems experienced by mineworkers and also shows the
sufferings of Africans at the hands of the government. The chapter is based on the life
of Serogole Mathobela, who once worked in the mine.
Chapter six is a conclusion where the findings of the previous chapters are made. The
reasons why the authors of these texts suspended certain information while highlighting
other information varies from fear to propaganda. In conclusion, it is observed that in
order to do justice to oral history more financial support is needed. / African Languages / D.Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)

Cultural conflicts in Northern Sotho dramasMadiga, Raofa Philemon 06 1900 (has links)
The aim of this research is to investigate cultural conflicts in Northern Sotho dramas.
At the beginning of the work, reasons for the choice of the topic are given, and
thereafter, the methodology to be adopted in analysing the plays is outlined. Various
factors considered to be contributory to the acculturation of traditional Africans are
discussed.
Throughout this study, traditionalists oppose westernised Africans because of strange
norms and practices they have adopted. The two parties disagree on issues like
arranged marriage, remarriage and leadership. Christianity features prominently as the
basic cause of conflict. Modernists oppose traditional practices on the ground that they
are not in conformity with Christian principles.
The plays are compared to determine how each playwright has attempted to resolve
conflicts in his respective play. The study ends with a comment on findings where
traditionalism, being a common enemy in the three plays, is overridden by modernity. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)

A comparative study of six Xhosa radio dramasMakosana, Nomkhitha Ethley 11 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 1991. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study is based on the comparison of six Xhosa radio dramas spanning the period 1987 and 1988. The main objective is to investigate the strengths and weaknesses which manifest
themselves in the dramas. The dramas are compared with respect to the six structural
elements of drama viz., theme, plot, characterization, time and space, and the techniques of
production.Themes are studied to establish whether there have been any developments as far as the
choice of themes is concerned in Xhosa radio dramas or whether there has been stagnation.
Also given is a brief literary history of the themes broadcast in the Xhosa radio.
The analysis of the plot structure is also done to identify the areas where they met the
requirements successfully as well as where they failed to. The dramas are analysed
according to the traditional approach Le. the exposition, complication, climax and the
denouement.With regard to characterization, the characters are classified according to the function they
perform viz., the protagonist, antagonist, tritagonist and confidante. They are also analysed
according to their individual nature Le. whether they are static or dynamic, mono- or
multidimensional etc. Techniques that the playwrights have used in the portrayal of their
characters are also examined.The aspects of time and space are also discussed, to investigate the artistic skills of the different dramatists in handling the time and space relations. Time is viewed with respect to
the following: order, duration, frequency, tempo and the presentation of the time structures.
Space is discussed with respect to the following: type, function, and the techniques of
localisation.A critical comparison of the production techniques used by these different playwrights is
explored, the focus being on the microphone, sound effects and music.
The examination conducted in the study basically revealed that there is little development in
Xhosa radio dramas.The themes that are broadcast are mainly for entertainment and consequently have little intellectual depth. There is also a lack of innovation which is shown by the repetition of the
same themes.The playwrights also lack skill as far as plot construction is concerned. The plays are devoid
of conflict
The absence of conflict in the dramas has an effect on characterization. It has given rise to
weak antagonists in the dramas.
Lack of focus regarding the main character is one of the faults that is evident in the dramas.
Because of the fact that all characters are on the level of importance, it becomes difficult to
pin-point who the focal character is.
Finally, the Xhosa radio dramas discussed in this thesis revealed that there is latent potential
in the Xhosa dramatists and the producers. It is therefore necessary that they should be
motivated towards research on the subject and consultation with people who are
knowledgeable in this sub-genre. Such actions could be of assistance towards the
improvement of skills and techniques needed in the writing of the radio drama / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie is gebaseer op die vergelyking van ses Xhosa radio dramas wat strek oor die
tydperk 1987-1988. Die hoofdoelstelling is om die sterkpunte en swakpunte te ondersoek
soos dit na vore kom in die dramas. Die dramas sal vergelyk word met betrekking tot die ses
strukturele elemente van die drama, naamlik, tema, intrige, karakterisering, tyd en ruimte,
en die tegnieke van produksie.
Die temas van die dramas is ondersoek om vas te stel of enige ontwikkelings wat betref die
keuse van temas plaasgevind het, en of daar stagnasie was in hierdie verb and. Voorts sal 'n
kort ootsig gegee word van die liter ere temas in radio Xhosa dramas.
Die analise van die intrige van die dramas word gedoen om vas te stel waar daar suksesvol
of onsuksesvol voldoen is aan vereistes. Die dramas word ontleed volgens die tradisionele
benadering van uiteensetting, verwikkeling, klimaks en die afwikkeling.
Betreffende karakterisering, word karakters geklassifiseer volgens die funksie wat hulle
vervul, naamlik die protagonis, die antagonis, die tritagonis, en die vertroueling. Karakters
kan ook ontleed word volgens hulle individuele karakter, dit is, in welke mate hulle staties of
dinamies is, enkel- of multi-dimension eel, ens. Tegnieke wat die skrywers gebruik het in die
uitbeelding van hulle karakters word ook ondersoek
Die aspekte van tyd en ruimte word bespreek ten einde die artistieke vaardighede van die
verskillende skrywers te ondersoek in die hantering van tyd en ruimte verbande. Tyd word
ondersoek ten opsigte van volgorde, duur, frekwensie, tempo en die aanbieding van die tyd
strukture.
Ruimte word bespreek met betrekking tot die aspekte van tipe, funksie en die tegnieke van
lokalisering.
'n Kritiese vergelyking word gedoen van die produksietegnieke wat aangewend is deur die
verskillende skrywers, met die fokus op mikrofoon klankeffekte en musiek
Die ondersoek in hierdie studie toon aan dat daar geringe ontwikkeling is in die Xhosa radio
dramas. Die temas van die dramas wat uitgesaai word is hoofsaaklik van 'n vermaaklikheids
aard met geen intellektuele diepte nie. Daar is ook 'n tekort aan vernuwing, soos aangedui
deur die herhaling van dieselfde temas.
Die skrywes toon ook 'n tekort aan vaardigheid wat betref die konstruksie van die struktuur
van. intrige. Die dramas toon weinig konflik Die afwesigheid van konflik het ook 'n invloed
op die krakterisering, wat aanleiding gee tot swak antagoniste in die dramas.'n Gebrekkige fokus betreffende die hootkarater is een van die foute wat opvallend is in die
dramas. Omdat byna al die karakters op dieselfde vlak van belangrikheid is, is dit moeilik
om te bepaal watter karakter die hootkarater is.
Laastens, die Xhosa radio dramas wat ontleed is in hierdie studie toon dat daar latente
potensiaal is in die Xhosa skrywers en regiseurs. Dit is nodig dat hulle aangemoedig word
om navorsing te doen oor die onderwerp. Konsultasie met kundiges op hierdie sub-genre
kan 'n hulp wees in die verbetering van vaardighede en tegnieke wat nodig is vir die skryf
van radio dramas.
