The representation of character in Es'kia Mphahlele's writings : a comparison of the autobiography Down Second Avenue (1959) and the novel The Wanderers (1971) with his philosophy in The African Image (1974)Sicwebu, Noel Zanoxolo 06 1900 (has links)
Literary representation of character in South Africa is not just problematic but also
complicated by racial dynamics, which easily lead to prejudiced portrayal by most
writers. Mphahlele's reaction to White writing's "distortion" of the image of
Blacks, in his critical texts resulted in his being labelled a protest writer.
Concerning his creative writing, he admits that he initially couldn't portray the
character of a white person roundedly due to limited acquaintance with him.
What he only knows about him and therefore depicts in his early writings is the
White stereotype. His acquaintance with the White world through varied
interaction gives a leverage that improves his portrayal of the White character.
Consequently his later works reflect objective representation of characters from
different races. The study therefore concludes that he falls outside the bracket
of protest writers, as his literary works prove to transcend the limitations of
stereotypical character representation. / Afrikaans and Theory of Literature / M.A. (Theory of Literature)

Recortes na paisagem: uma leitura de Brazil e outros textos de Elizabeth Bishop / Clippings on landscape: a reading of Brazil and other texts of Elizabeth BishopArmando Olivetti Ferreira 17 April 2009 (has links)
Este trabalho tem como objetivo anotar, traduzir e comentar uma parte da obra da escritora norteamericana Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979), que viveu no Brasil durante cerca de vinte anos: seus textos de caráter jornalístico relacionados ao país. O mais extenso é o livro Brazil (1962), escrito sob encomenda dos editores da revista Life. O livro foi renegado pela autora, inconformada com as intervenções dos editores, e publicado sob coautoria. O cotejo entre os originais (preservados nos arquivos de Bishop, no Vassar College), o texto publicado em 1962 e as anotações da autora em seu exemplar (preservado na Harvard University) permite apontar as similaridades e, especialmente, os importantes contrastes entre a perspectiva de Bishop e a dos editores. Uma investigação sobre o momento em que o livro surgiu na vida da autora e na história do Brasil e dos Estados Unidos auxilia a compreensão não só do texto, mas também de sua escrita e dos episódios associados à sua edição. O trabalho se completa com a tradução e a anotação de outros cinco textos, dois dos quais ainda inéditos mesmo em inglês, vestígios de um projeto abandonado por Bishop: a elaboração de um novo livro sobre o país. / The aim of this work is to annotate, translate, and comment a part of the writings by Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979), the North-American writer, who lived in Brazil for approximately twenty years, focusing on her journalistic texts about that country. Her largest piece is a book called Brazil (1962) which was commissioned by the editors of Life magazine. However, the book was rejected by the author who refused to accept the interventions made by the editors. As a result, they co-authored it. Comparing the original (preserved in the Bishop archives at Vassar College) with the published text allows us to compare two different views of Brazil, to highlight similarities and especially the important contrasts between them. A research on the period the book was published focused on the author\'s life, as well as on the history of both Brazil and the U.S.A. helps to understand not only the text itself, but also how it was written and the episodes associated to its edition. The present work includes five additional texts, remains of a project that was abandoned by Bishop: the making of another book on Brazil. Two of these texts have remained unpublished to date, even in English.

Assessment of oral proficiency in the EFL classroom : Four teachers’ perceptions of the English SyllabusHolmertz, Ludvig January 2022 (has links)
Previous research shows that English teachers in Sweden struggle with the assessment of oral proficiency. The reasons for this are several but most of them have occurred in the gap between the intended and perceived curriculum. English teachers interpret the knowledge requirements within oral proficiency differently because of their pedagogical background and experience. This study investigates teachers’ interpretations of the intended presentation of interaction and fluency in the oral proficiency knowledge requirements. The study also investigates what methods and procedures the teachers use when assessing the two abilities and what views the teachers have on the syllabus and assessment support. Semi-structured interviews were organized with four different English teachers with extensive experience in teaching and assessing English in Sweden. The data from the interviews were analyzed through the use of qualitative content analysis in order to find potential links between results and earlier conducted research. The results suggest that the English teachers interpreted, valued, and assessed interaction and fluency differently in relation to the knowledge requirements. The teachers also promoted the knowledge requirements from the Oral National Test since these simplified the interpretation of aspects such as interaction and fluency. The teachers did not present the syllabus as poor or complex, but their exclusive use of Oral National Test knowledge requirements and assessment material suggested something else. Along with this result, all teachers criticized the assessment support that comes with the knowledge requirements in the syllabus. The assessment support was thus something several of the teachers mentioned as key along with the implementation of co-assessment for future reliability within oral proficiency assessment.

Plurale Weltinterpretationen / Plural World Interpretations. The case of the Tyvans of South Siberia. / Множественныe интерпретации мира. Пример тувинцев Южной Сибири.Oelschlägel, Anett C. 04 March 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Plurale Weltinterpretationen praktizieren wir täglich, meist ohne uns darüber bewusst zu sein. Zustande kommen sie durch die gleichzeitige und gleichwertige Existenz verschiedener Modelle der Weltinterpretation. Sie sind Produkte menschlicher Schöpferkraft und stehen als parallele Realitäten einander ergänzend und einander widersprechend nebeneinander. Das Buch führt am Beispiel der Tyva Südsibiriens in zwei Modelle der Weltinterpretation und in die Praxis des Umgangs mit ihnen ein. Es zeigt, wie einzelne lokale Akteure zwei von mehreren Modellen flexibel zum Einsatz bringen, um Situationen zu deuten und in ihnen zu handeln. Es wird deutlich, welchen Regeln die Tyva dabei folgen, welche Gründe sie leiten und welche Folgen sie zu tragen haben. Das Ergebnis ist ein Bild zeitgenössischer Kultur, das der gegenwärtig gegebenen Flexibilität und Pluralität des menschlichen Deutens, Handelns und Verhaltens gerecht wird. / Plural World Interpretations are part of our everyday lives, even if we are not aware of the fact. They result from the simultaneous existence of different but equal models for interpreting the world we live in. These models are the product of human constructivity and co-exist as parallel realities, complementing and contradicting each other. Based on fieldwork among the Tyva of southern Siberia, the book discusses the practice of dealing with this multiplicity of world interpretations and shows how individual actors oscillate flexibly between two of many possible models for interpreting specific situations and act on them. The rules Tyvans apply in varying contexts, the reasons behind their choices and the consequences they have to deal with, are analysed. The result is an account of contemporary culture that explores the flexibility and plurality of human interpretation, action and behaviour. / Мы используем множественные интерпретации мира (нем. plurale Weltinterpretationen) ежедневно и, в большинстве случаев, неосознанно. Осуществляется это за счёт одновременного и равноценного сосуществования различных моделей мировоззрения. Они являются продуктом творческой деятельностей человека и сосуществуют в качестве параллельных реальностей, дополняя и, одновременно, противореча друг другу. На примере тувинцев Южной Сибири данная книга знакомит с двумя моделями мировоззрения, а также с практикой их применения. Показывается, как локальные акторы гибко применяют две из существующего множества моделей: и для того, чтобы действовать в складывающихся ситуациях, и чтобы толковать их. Станет понятным, каким правилам при этом следуют тувинцы, какими мотивами руководствуются и какие это имеет последствия. Результатом явится картина современной культуры, которая будет отвечать имеющимся на данный момент запросам гибкости и многообразия в мировоззрении, действиях и поведении человека.

Storie en sprokie : 'n ondersoek na die sprokiesmotief in enkele populere Afrikaanse romansBrink, Malie Johanna 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / In die verhandeling word die vergestalting van die sprokiemotief
in die tekste, Griet skryf 'n sprokie deur Marita van der Vyver
(1992) en Weerkaatsings - 'n sprokie deur Eleanor Baker (1984)
nagegaan. Die doel is om vas te stel op watter wyse hierdie
"kindgerigte" genre op die literere vlak van die volwasse leser
omvorm word. Om hierdie doel te bereik word eerstens 'n
begripsverkenning van die sprokie as epiese genre gedoen. In die
verkenning van die genre val die soeklig nie net op die Westerse
sprokie nie, maar daar word ook gefokus op die inheemse SuidAfrikaanse
sprokie.
Tweedens word aan die hand van hierdie teoretiese raamwerk 'n
noukeurige analise gemaak van die vergestalting van die
sprokiemotief binne die twee primere tekste. Die sprokieselemente
in Griet skryf 'n sprokie en Weerkaatsings - 'n sprokie word
uitgelig en die hantering daarvan vergelykend ondersoek / In the dissertation the manifestation of the fairytale motif in
the texts, Griet skryf 'n sprokie by Marita van der Vyver (1992),
and Weerkaatsings 'n sprokie by Eleanor Baker (1984) is
investigated. The purpose is to ascertain the manner in which
this "child-centred" genre is transformed on the literary level
of the adult reader. To achieve this goal, a conceptualization
of the fairytale as an epic genre is firstly undertaken. In the
exploration of the genre, the search light does not only focus
on the Western but also on the indigenous South African
fairytale.
Secondly, by means of this theoretical framework, a detailed
analysis is made of the manifestation of the fairytale motif in
the two primary texts. The elements of the fairytale in Griet
skryf 'n sprokie and Weerkaatsings - 'n sprokie are highlighted
and the handling thereof comparatively investigated / Afrikaans & Theory of Literature / M.A. (Afrikaans)

New thought in South Africa : a profileVenter, Maré 11 1900 (has links)
Against the background of New Thought history in general, the dissertation researches
the origins of the movement in South Africa. On the basis of primary documents, made
available by leaders and other informants, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews
and participant observation, the roots and history of New Thought in South Africa has
been reconstructed. Aspects of New Thought belief, such as God, Jesus, Christ, the
Bible, prayer, meditation, wealth, prosperity, death and reincarnation are discussed. It
becomes apparent that, with its syncretistic, flexible and open structure, as well as the
unique way in which services (weddings, christenings, funerals) are conducted, New
Thought offers an alternative to spiritual and religiously minded people in South Africa,
and shows potential to play a dynamic role in the cross-cultural bridging that is taking
place in a changing South Africa. / Religious Studies and Arabic / M.A. (Religios Studies)

Från toppen inom idrotten till en ledande position inom näringslivet : Hur sex före detta olympier upplever att idrotten har påverkat deras ledaregenskaperGasslander, Josefine, Lundqvist, Maria-Therese January 2016 (has links)
Background: Have you ever wondered what top athletes occupy themselves with after their career? Most scientists agree that it is important to take advantage of the qualities and traits that elite athletes received through sport. Therefore, are athletes able to use and exploit their sports background in business? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate which traits former elite athletes consider important in an effective business leader. Furthermore, the purpose is to examine the traits that former elite athletes feel that they have developed during their sporting careers, which they now have the use of in their leading position in the business world. Question: What is, according to former elite athletes, essential for an effective leader in business? What traits have these former elite athletes, in their view, developed during their active career? Methodology: The study uses a qualitative method which is based on six semi-structured interviews with former Olympians. All interviews were conducted by phone or videoconference call. Conclusion: The authors answer the questions and try to clearify the respondents’ interpretations of the key traits of effective leaders. The authors believe that it is also possible to identify some traits that the respondents brought from the sport and that they now use in their civilian career. Finally, suggestions for further research / Bakgrund: Har du någon gång funderat på vad elitidrottare sysselsätter sig med efter sin avslutade karriär? Flertalet forskare är överens om är att det är viktigt att ta tillvara på de egenskaper och kunskaper som elitidrottaren fått genom idrotten. Därför har ett intresse skapats för huruvida elitidrottare är kapabla att använda och utnyttja sina kunskaper inom näringslivet. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka egenskaper som före detta elitidrottare anser är viktiga hos effektiva ledare inom näringslivet? Vidare är syftet att undersöka vilka egenskaper som före detta elitidrottare uppfattar att de har utvecklat under sin idrottsliga karriär, som de nu har användning av i sin ledande position inom näringslivet. Frågeställningar: Vilka egenskaper är, enligt före detta elitidrottares uppfattning, viktiga för en effektiv ledare inom näringslivet? Vilka egenskaper hos före detta elitidrottare har, enligt deras uppfattning, utvecklats under den aktiva karriären? Metod: Studien använder en kvalitativ metod som är baserad på sex semistrukturerade intervjuer med före detta olympier. Samtliga intervjuer har genomförts via telefon eller videointervju. Slutsats: I slutsatsen besvarar författarna på studiens frågeställningar och försöker klargöra för respondenternas tolkningar av viktiga egenskaper hos effektiva ledare. Författarna anser att det även går att urskilja några egenskaper som respondenterna fått med sig från idrotten och som de nu har användning för inom sin civila karriär. Slutligen ges förslag på vidare forskning.
