Kontroversialiteit as tematiese lokmotief in Barrie Hough se My kat word herfs, Droomwa, Vlerkdans en Skilpoppe.Venter, Sanet 07 December 2007 (has links)
This dissertation explores controversial themes in the youth literature of Barrie Hough. The novels under discussion are My kat word herfs (1986), Droomwa (1990), Vlerkdans (1992) and Skilpoppe (1998). My kat word herfs was translated as My cat turns Autumn, Droomwa as Dream Chariot and Vlerkdans as In full Flight. Afrikaans youth novels historically centered around naive themes such as the idyllic life on the farm or at boarding school. However, young people found it increasingly difficult to identify with these naive storylines and during the nineteen eighties and nineties the Afrikaans youth novel experienced a renewal. Barrie Hough was one of the pioneers, writing about controversial issues like aids, homosexuality, teenage sex, suicide, drug abuse, divorce and single parenthood. The aim of this dissertation is to explore the liberation of Afrikaans youth literature and the role that controversial themes play in this regard. These themes enable the reader to identify with the story and serve as an allurement to draw the reader into the world of the text. Furthermore, the writer is given the opportunity to experience a sense of liberation while he narratively confronts events of his past. This liberation process allows the writer to deal and come to terms with his own past. At the end of each novel both the reader and writer go through a process of purification and liberation, facilitated by the therapeutic process of writing or reading a story. / Dr. M.P. Beukes

'n Analise van die representasie van geslagtelikheid in Roelf van Rensburg se Gooi hom in die sloot (1971) en Barrie Hough se Skilpoppe (1998) : opvoedkundige implikasies.Nieman, Marietha Maria. January 2001 (has links)
In this dissertation it is indicated that gender is a social construct, while sex is
biologically determined. The concept of gender refers to that which is understood within
a certain society to define masculinity and femininity, the power struggle between the
two sexes, as well as the social limitations which are placed on people's behaviour as
a result of gender. Children's and young adult's literature exert a great influence on the
youth's idea of gender roles. The social and cultural history of South African society is
used in this study to explore stereotypical gender roles in Afrikaans youth literature. The
role of a patriarchal society, homosexuality, and changing perceptions of gender roles
are investigated. It is indicated that in both English and Afrikaans children's and young
adult's literature the portrayal of gender roles is often unrealistic, stereotypical, and
contains sexist language. Two novels namely, Gooi horn in die slool (1971) and
Skilpoppe (1998), are analysed using the following categories: male or female author,
representation of gender roles, and use of sexist language. The teaching implications
of the findings for the second language learner are then articulated. OPSOMMING
In hierdie skripsie is aangetoon dat geslaglelikheid ("gender"), anders as geslag wat
biologies bepaal is, 'n sosiale konstruk is. Geslagtelikheid hou verband met wat in 'n
bepaalde samelewing onder manlikheid en vroulikheid verstaan word, asook met
magsverhoudings tussen die twee geslagte en sosiale beperkings wat op grond van
geslagtelikheid op mense se gedrag geplaas word. Jeugliteratuur oefen 'n groot invloed
uit op jeugdiges se siening van geslagtelikheid. Die sosiale en kultuur-historiese
agtergrond in die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing word in die studie gebruik om die
uitbeelding van geslagtelikheid in die Afrikaanse jeugliteratuur te problematiseer. Die
rol van 'n patriargale samelewing, homoseksualiteit en veranderde sienings oor
geslagtelikheidsrolle word onder andere uitgelig. Daar word aangetoon dat die
uitbeelding van geslagtelikheid in sowel Engelse as Afrikaanse jeugliteratuur dikwels
baie onrealisties is en wemel van stereotiperings en seksistiese taalgebruik. Twee
jeugverhale, naamlik Gooi ham in die slool (1971) en Skilpoppe (1998), word aan die
hand van 'n aantal kategoriee, naamlik outeur, uitbeelding van geslagtelikheid en
seksistiese taalgebruik geanaliseer, voordat onderrigimplikasies vir die
tweedetaalklaskamer aangedui word. / Thesis (M.A.) - University of Natal, Durban, 2001.
