Outobiografie en identiteit : ’n vergelykende beskouing van ’n Wonderlike geweld (2005) van Elsa Joubert en ’n Ander tongval (2005) van Antjie KrogHauman, Suzaan 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))--University of Stellenbosch, 2010. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Autobiography is a growing, but elusive literary genre. However, when texts are read as
autobiographical – and thus as a form of self-representation – the theme of identity provides the
reader with an interesting and useful method by which to approach it.
In this study, two Afrikaans autobiographical texts are approached in a comparative manner, with
the aim being to examine the writers’ representations of themselves. The texts studied are ’n
Wonderlike geweld (2005) by Elsa Joubert, and ’n Ander tongval (2005) by Antjie Krog. Besides
the autobiographical nature of these texts, the comparison is also based on: the writers’ status in
the Afrikaans literary system, similarities beween them and their backgrounds, and the
corresponding publication dates.
The theoretical basis from where the concepts autobiography and identity are viewed is explained
briefly. The emphasis falls on autobiography as a hybrid genre, that is defined mainly by how it
is read. The use of identity as a reading strategy is suggested, with identity being understood as
an unstable construction that changes constantly, depending on the context in which it is
constructed.
Consequently, the different identities according to which Joubert and Krog reveal themselves to
the reader and the autobiographical forms through which they achieve this, are examined and
discussed in separate chapters. Specific emphasis is placed on how they convey the spirit of the
time and on the influence of the context in which the texts are published.
Finally, the differences and similarities in the writers’ representation of themselves are
summarised. In the end it emerges that the reading strategy focused on identity provides the
reader with a useful approach to the study of texts in the autobiographical genre, since it is
possible to successfully apply it to two texts with diverse autobiographical qualities. Furthermore,
it becomes clear that the structure and style of these texts mirror the writer’s approach to identity
to a great extent. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Outobiografie is ’n groeiende, maar onpeilbare literêre genre. Wanneer tekste as outobiografies –
en dus as ’n vorm van self-representasie – benader word, bied die tema van identiteit egter ’n
interessante en nuttige invalshoek.
In hierdie studie word twee Afrikaanse outobiografiese tekste vergelykend benader, met die doel
om die skrywers se voorstellings van hul identiteit daarin te ondersoek. Die twee tekste wat
gebruik word, is ’n Wonderlike geweld (2005) van Elsa Joubert, en ’n Ander tongval (2005) van
Antjie Krog. Benewens die outobiografiese aard van die tekste, sluit die basis vir vergelyking ook
die skrywers se status binne die Afrikaanse literêre sisteem, ooreenkomste tussen hulle en hul
agtergronde, en die ooreenstemmende publikasiedatums in.
Die teoretiese basis vanwaar die begrippe outobiografie en identiteit beskou word, word kortliks
uiteengesit. Die klem val op outobiografie as ’n hibridiese genre wat veral gedefinieer word op
grond van hoe ’n mens dit lees. Die gebruik van identiteit word dan as ’n lees-strategie
voorgestel, met identiteit wat verstaan word as ’n onstabiele konstruksie wat konstant verander
op grond van die konteks waarbinne dit gekonstrueer word.
Die verskillende identiteite waarvolgens Joubert en Krog hulself aan die leser openbaar en die
outobiografiese vorme wat hulle hiervoor gebruik, word dan ondersoek en bespreek in twee
afsonderlike hoofstukke. Spesifieke klem word gelê op die tydsgees wat vasgevang word en die
invloed wat die konteks waarbinne die tekste gepubliseer word, het.
Uiteindelik word die verskille en ooreenkomste in die skrywers se voorstellings van hulself
saamgevat. Ten slotte blyk dit dat die lees-strategie wat fokus op identiteit ’n nuttige invalshoek
bied vir die studie van tekste binne die outobiografiese genre, aangesien dit met vrug op twee
tekste met uiteenlopende outobiografiese eienskappe toegepas kan word. Verder word dit ook
duidelik dat die struktuur en styl van die tekste in ’n groot mate die skrywer daarvan se
benadering tot identiteit weerspieël.

Digdebute teen die milleniumwending : 'n polisistemiese ondersoekAdendorff, Elbie Maria 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))--University of Stellenbosch, 2003. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelstelling met hierdie studie is om die verskyning en ontvangs van Afrikaanse dig-debuutbundels teen die millenniumwending met behulp van die polisisteemteorie te bestudeer. Dié teorie behels dat die literatuur as 'n sisteem tussen ander sisteme in die samelewing beskryf word. In hierdie geval word die sisteemgrens tot die Afrikaanse poësie beperk. Die resepsies van die ses debuutbundels wat in 1999–2000 verskyn het en wat vir die Ingrid Jonker-prys in aanmerking geneem is, word ondersoek.
Binne die polisisteemverband word 'n studie onderneem na die marginalisering van die Afrikaanse poësie; dít terwyl die poësie as sodanig reeds 'n gemarginaliseerde genre is. Dié marginalisering is grootliks die gevolg van ekonomiese oorwegings – hoofstroomuitgewers dink twee maal daaroor voordat hulle 'n digbundel uitgee, veral 'n debuutdigbundel. Terwyl die poësie in die orale vorm toenemend gewild blyk te wees, is daar nie veel publikasie-moontlikhede vir debuutdigters nie. Hierdie toestand gaan veral die opkomende digters nadelig tref.
In hoofstuk 1 word 'n uiteensetting van die studie gegee. Die stand van sake in die Afrikaan-se poësiesisteem teen die millenniumwending word voorlopig beskryf. Die doel van die navorsing, die afbakening van die studie-objek en die hoofstukindeling van die tesis word uiteengesit.
Hoofstuk 2 bied 'n uiteensetting van die polisisteemteorie, wat gegrond is op die werk van die Russiese Formaliste. Verder word aandag bestee aan 'n omskrywing van die poli-sisteem, die struktuur van die polisisteem en die toepassingsmoontlikhede van die teorie.
'n Teoretiese oorsig van kanonisering in die literatuur word in hoofstuk 3 onderneem. In dié hoofstuk word die verskillende definisies van die konsep kanon gegee, die verskillende soorte kanons en die proses van kanonvorming word bespreek. Laastens word die invloede van kanonisering vermeld.
Die Afrikaanse literêre veld is die fokuspunt in hoofstuk 4, waar die poësie as gemargina-liseerde genre, die voorkoms van die Afrikaanse poësieveld, die Ingrid Jonker-prys en die rol van die uitgewer bespreek word. Die vraag na die afwesigheid van die "nuwe stemme" in die letterkunde word ook ondersoek. Die toekoms van die Afrikaanse poësie word verder onder die soeklig geplaas.
In hoofstuk 5 word 'n studie onderneem van die resepsies van die ses debuutbundels van 1999–2000. Die resensent as kritikus en die taak van resensente word eerstens ondersoek. Kwalitatiewe en kwantitatiewe ondersoeke word onderneem ten einde na te gaan welke van die debutante moontlik die kanondrempel kan oorsteek.
In die slothoofstuk, hoofstuk 6, word die bevindinge van die ondersoek saamgevat ten einde die gesprek oor die Afrikaanse poësie verder te voer. Verdere moontlike navorsingsterreine word uitgestippel. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this study is to examine the publication and reception of first volumes of poetry at the end of the twentieth century by means of the polysystem theory. This theory maintains that literature should be considered as a system within other systems in society. In this case the systemic boundary is limited to Afrikaans poetry. The reception of six first volumes of poetry that appeared between 1999 and 2000 and were taken into account for the Ingrid Jonker Prize is investigated.
A study is made of the reception of Afrikaans poetry within the polysystemic context and in the light of the fact that poetry is already a marginalised genre. This marginalisation is largely the result of economic pressures – mainstream publishers think twice before publishing a volume of poetry, especially a first volume. While poetry, particularly oral poetry, seems to be increasingly popular, there are few publishing opportunities for new poets. This situation is going to affect especially upcoming poets negatively.
Chapter 1 gives an outline of the study. The state of affairs in the Afrikaans poetry system at the end of the twentieth century is described briefly. The aim of the research, the delimitation of the field of study, and the organisation of the chapters of the thesis are set out.
Chapter 2 offers an explanation of polysystems theory, which has its foundations in Russian Formalism. The chapter also describes the structure of a polysystem and discusses the possible applications of the theory.
Chapter 3 presents a theoretical overview of the process of canonisation in literature. Different definitions of the concept of the canon are given and the process and effects of canonisation are considered.
Chapter 4 focuses on Afrikaans literature, including discussion of poetry as a marginalised genre, the future of Afrikaans poetry, the Ingrid Jonker Prize, and the role of the publisher. The issue of the absence of "new voices" in literature is also investigated, as well as the future of Afrikaans poetry.
Chapter 5 examines the reception of six first volumes of poetry between 1999 and 2000. The reviewer as literary critic and the function of reviewing are considered first. Qualitative and quantitative studies are undertaken in order to determine which of the first volumes might be incorporated into the canon.
Chapter 6 draws together the findings of the investigation in order to extend the discussion on Afrikaans poetry. Possible areas of research are suggested.

Die gruwel en die Gotiese in drie hedendaagse tekste : Die nag het net een oog - Francois Bloemhof, Drif - Reza de Wet, Een hart van steen - Renate DorresteinBuys, Helga Minnette 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis contains the results of an investigation into the elements of the horror story and
the Gothic novel in three contemporary works. The investigation was conducted within the
theoretical framework of the original historical Gothic novel of the eighteenth century, in
comparison with contemporary theorization on the Gothic, with specific reference to the study
of Eddy Bertin, and to some extent Hendrik van Gorp and Fred Botting. Four conventions of
the Gothic genre were identified, and were applied to an Afrikaans novel and drama, as well
as a Dutch novel, to establish to which extent the Gothic manifests itself in these
contemporary texts. The study focussed on The night only has one eye (1991) by Francois
Bloemhof, Crossing/ Passion (1994) by Reza de Wet and A heart of stone (1999) by Renate
Dorrestein.
From these texts, which were read within a Gothic framework, it could be deduced that there
is a deviation from the conventional Gothic texts within both the Afrikaans and the Dutch
texts. This deviation especially occurs with regard to characterization, with specific reference
to the female character. The authors use the traditional Gothic characters as a point of
departure, but bring about renewal in the texts by making them part of a wider philosophical
field. The portrayal of the themes of good versus evil, space and tension, also shows a
deviation from the Gothic conventions.
An important finding in this study is that the Gothic genre in its pure form can not successfully
be traced in contemporary literature. The three texts under discussion show the occurrence of
allogamy between the different sub-categories of horror. A further important conclusion is that
these three texts cannot be merely categorized as Popular literature because of the renewal it
brings regarding the traditional Gothic conventions. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis bevat die resultate van 'n ondersoek na elemente van die gruwelverhaal en die
Gotiese roman in drie kontemporêre tekste. Die ondersoek is gedoen binne die teoretiese
raamwerk oor die genre van die oorspronklike historiese Gotiese roman van die agtiende eeu,
in vergelyking met die hedendaagse teoretisering oor die Gotiek, met spesifieke verwysing na
die navorsing van Eddy Bertin, en in 'n mindere mate Hendrik van Gorp en Fred Botting. Vier
konvensies van die Gotiese verhaaltipe is geïdentifiseer en toegepas op 'n Afrikaanse roman
en drama, asook 'n Nederlandse roman, om vas te stel in watter mate en op watter wyse die
Gotiek gemanifesteer word in dié hedendaagse tekste. Die navorsing fokus op Die nag het
net een oog (1991) van Francios Bloemhof, Drif (1994) van Reza de Wet en Een hart van
steen (1999) van Renate Dorrestein.
Dié tekste vertoon al drie duidelik Gotiese kenmerke, maar vertoon daarbyook opvallende
afwykings van die tradisionele verskyningsvorme van die Gotiek. Dit geld veral vir
karakterisering - meer spesifiek die vroulike karakter en die verhouding tussen die twee
geslagte. Die outeurs gebruik die tradisionele Gotiese tipe karakters as vertrekpunt, maar
bring vernuwing deur die tekste deel te maak van 'n wyer filosofiese veld. Die tekste se
hantering van ander konvensies op die terrein van die tematiese (die goeie versus die bose),
ruimte en spanning wyk ook af van die historiese Gotiek.
'n Belangrik aspek wat in die ondersoek na vore kom, is dat die Gotiek as verhaaltipe selde
nog in sy suiwer vorm in literatuur aangetref word. Die drie tekste onder bespreking toon in
watter aansienlike mate kruisbestuiwing plaasvind tussen die onderskeie sub-kategorieë van
die riller. Laastens word daar aangevoer dat die Gotiese en gruwel-elemente binne dié drie
tekste op so 'n vernuwende wyse geproblematiseer en uitgedaag word, dat dit nie sonder
meer as triviaalliteratuur beskou kan word nie.

Feminisme en lees : Antjie Krog se Lady Anne en Joan Hambidge se Die anatomie van melancholieCrous, Matthys Lourens 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 1990. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim of this investigation was to provide a theoretical
overview of the predominant feminist literary movements and
their theoretical theses. I concentrated specifically on
providing an historical overview of the major theories and by
doing so accumulating them into one theoretical model.
Concommitantly theories coined by post-structuralist thinkers
such as Derrida and deconstruction are also employed in
furnishing the reading model with a deconstructivi i-.>"": base. It
proved appropriate to analyse postmodernist poetry ~<ch as that
of Joan Hambidge by means of this strategy.
In the second chapter I focused specifically on the poetry of
Antj ie Krog until her latest volume of poetry, Lady Anne. From
the latter texts dealing especially with the husband and wife
relationship within the traditional marriage were selected and
analysed. I focused on the three main female figures in the
text, viz. Lady Anne Barnard, Mrs. Van Reenen, and Antjie Krog
herself. I indicated what the implications of the marital
relationship were on the lives of the characters. Often there is
also a prevalent sexual rivalry within the realms of the
patriarchal marriage.
In the case of Lady Anne Barnard the relationship reveals the
tension inherent to their situation at large. Andrew Barnard is
regarded as a weak man who is subj ected to his powerful wife.
This is evident from their marital relationship too. The man as
instigator and head of the household within the patriarchy
wishes to establish himself as bearer of that power and by doing
so comes in conflict with his wife.
In the third chapter I analysed the Lesbianfeminist poems of
Joan Hambidge and especially those in her third volume of poetry. The codes of a Lesbian relationship are subversive in
that it questions the morality of society at large. Lesbian love
affairs are regarded as "strange" and immoral by the rUling
patriarchal hegemony. This is the result of its undermining
attitude towards sexism in society at large.
In my conclusion I indicated that a feminist reading model is
feasible for the reading of literary texts in that it aims to
deconstruct the predominant sexist binary oppositions in our
society. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie ondersoek was om in die inleidende
teoretiese gedeelte In oorsig te gee van die belangrikste
feministiese teoretici se bevindings. Daar is veral
gekonsentreer op In historiese oorsig van die feministiese
teoriee en hieruit is probeer om een teoretiese model daar te
stel, waarvolgens literere tekste in die besonder gelees kon
word. In aansluiting by die post-strukturalistiese teoriee van
Jacques Derrida is aan die feministiese leesmodel In
dekonstruktivistiese basis gegee. Dit het veral geblyk van pas
te wees, by die lees van die postmodernistiese poesie soos in
die geval van Joan Hambidge.
In die tweede hoofstuk is veral gefokus op die poes1e van Antjie
Krog en is die eiesoortige kenmerke van haar poesie eers
uitgelig. Daarna is veral gekonsentreer op haar mees onlangse
digbundel Lady Anne. Uit die bundel is veral tekste geselekteer
wat pertinent fokus op uitbeelding van die man-vrou-verhouding
binne die huwelik. Daar word veral gekonsentreer op die drie
bel~ngrikste vrouefigure in die bundel, naamlik Lady Anne
Barnard, Mev. Van Reenen en die digteres Antjie Krog self. Daar
is veral aangetoon wat hulle verhoudings met hulle mans was en
die huweliksrelasie is met behulp van In feministiese leesmodel
beskou en gedekonstrueer. Dikwels is daar sprake van In seksuele
magstryd in die huwelik aan die gang.
In die geval van Lady Anne Barnard weerspieel die
huweliksverhouding tussen man en vrou die spanning wat inherent
aanwesig is, veral omdat Barnard so In swakkeling is en hy
onderdanig aan sy vrou staan. Hierdie magsbalans wat versteur
word, kern ook voor in die verse oor Antjie Krog en haar man. Die
man as verteenwoordiger van die patriargale waardesisteem, sien dit as sy plig om oor die vrou te heers.
In die derde hoofstuk word veral gekonsentreer op Joan Hambidge
se Lesbiesfeministiese verse en wel uit haar derde digbundel,
Die anatomie van melancholie. Die kodes van die Lesbiese
verhouding tussen twee vroue is ondermynend van aard en dit gee
aanleiding tot kontroversiele bevraagtekening van die heersende
ideologie binne die same1ewing. Die heersende seksistiese ins1ag
van die patriargie het tot gevolg dat Lesbiese liefde as
IIvreemd" bestempel word en gevolglik strydig is met die wese van
die ideologiese apparatuur in so 'n staat.
Ten slotte word aangetoon, dat In feministiese leesmodel weI
sinvol is vir die lees van tekste en dat dit veral daarop gemik
is am die seksistiese binere opposisies binne ' n seksistiese
denksistee~ te ondermyn.

Die huis as betekenisvolle ruimte in enkele Afrikaanse gedigte, met spesifieke verwysing na die bewoningsfilosofiee van Heidegger, Bolnow en Bachelard en VierluikMarais, Lodewikus Stefanus 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2008. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The first section of this thesis aims at creating a reading strategy for the analysis of poetry thematically concerned with habitation and the space of the house. Selected Afrikaans poems, forming part of a newer house-poetry that breaks away from the idyllic, genial representation of the house in earlier Afrikaans poetry, are examined. The theoretical equipment utilised in this examination is the habitation philosophies of Martin Heidegger, Otto Friedrich Bollnow and Gustav Bachelard. Various related insights in the work of these philosophers are developed into a three-tiered model for the interpretation of house poetry.
Supplementing the abovementioned framework is the socio-historical work of Joseph Rykwert and Ton Lemaire. Both these theorists explore the close connection between the space of the house and the realisation of mortality and transience.
The application of the philosophical model facilitates, on the micro level of image and word choice, a fresh understanding of the selected poems, as well as a wider philosophical contextualisation of their thematic content. The reading strategy and the application thereof could also provide the means with which a new philosophical scrutiny of Afrikaans house-poetry can be achieved.
The abovementioned formal essay is presented as coupled with a collection of original Afrikaans poems, entitled Vierluik, the creative section of this thesis. Vierluik examines, among other things, aspects of habitation in city, town and countryside, and reflects on descent, rootedness, displacement and the interconnection of space and identity. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die eerste gedeelte van hierdie tesis het as doel die daarstelling van ’n leesstrategie waarmee poësie wat tematies oor die huisruimte en bewoning handel, ondersoek kan word. Geselekteerde Afrikaanse gedigte, wat deel vorm van ’n nuwer huispoësie wat sedert die sestigerjare wegbreek van die idilliese, gemoedelike uitbeelding van die huis in vroeër Afrikaanse gedigte, word ondersoek. Die teoretiese apparatuur wat in hierdie ondersoek aangewend word, is die bewoningsfilosofieë van Martin Heidegger, Otto Friedrich Bollnow en Gustav Bachelard. Verskeie verbandhoudende insigte in die werk van hierdie denkers word ontwikkel tot ’n drieledige interpretasiemodel vir huispoësie.
Hierby dien as aanvulling die kultuur-historiese werk van Joseph Rykwert en Ton Lemaire, waarin die noue band tussen die huisruimte en die doods- of verganklikheidsbesef uitgewerk word.
Die toepassing van hierdie filosofiese begripsapparatuur fasiliteer op die mikrovlak van beelde en woordkeuse ’n vars verstaan van die vyf geselekteerde gedigte, asook ’n breër filosofiese kontekstualisering van hulle tematiese inhoud. Die leesstrategie en toepassings sou ook ’n filosofiese oopdek van die huispoësie in Afrikaans kon bemiddel.
Hierdie akademiese gedeelte dien verder as ’n verbandhoudende oefening by die kreatiewe gedeelte van die tesis, naamlik ’n digbundel, Vierluik. Die bundel ondersoek, onder andere, aspekte van bewoning in stad, dorp en platteland, en bied ’n besinning aan oor herkoms, geworteldheid, verplasing en die verweefdheid van ruimte en identiteit.

'n Kultuurhistoriese studie van die Duitse Nedersetting Philippi op die Kaapse VlakteRabe, Lizette 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DPhil (Afrikaans Culture))—University of Stellenbosch, 1994. / Up to the arrival of the so-called "Second Wave" of German settlers to the Cape, the cape Flats was to a great extent uninhabited because it was seen as an inhospitable semi-desert. The colonial Government of the late nineteenth century however felt dat such an area of land in so close a vicinity of an urban region should be made usefull. As a result of the success the German settlers had who arrived in the years 1858/62 in the Eastern Cape (the so-called "First Wave" of German immigrants), it was decided to try the same in the Western Cape. A few German settlers together with their families have already settled themselves on the edge of the Cape Flats and showed that one could farm with vegetabels in this region. They were Germans who were brought to the Cape by the Hamburgh shipping company Godeffroy and Son. They came under contract and had to work for a fixed period at certain appointed employers. These Godeffroy immigrants settled in the vicinity of Wynberg after the expiration of their contracts because a Lutheran church was already established there. They indirectly formed the basis of the German settlement to follow. In 1877/78 the next group consisting of families and part of a Colonial immigratioh project, arrived. Many of these immigrants were settled on Crown Land in the Boland, but a significant number were settled on the Cape Flats. The third group arrived in 1883, again consisting of family groups and as part of a Colonial iimmigration project. Most of the members of this group were allocated on land and the Cape Flats. The last two groups were part of the "Second Wave" of German immigrants. By far mast of the immigrants were peasants and artisans originating from Northern Germany. The Godeffroy immigrants were mostly Prussians and the immigrants of the Second Wave mostly Heidjern from the Luneburger Heath in Lower Saxony. These three groups would fuse into a close community thanks to their common background and religion, as well as the first years' struggle for survival on the then inhospitable Flats. The settlers established three Lutheran congregations and three schools. This study looks at the settlement, the life and work of these settlers and their immediate descendants, as well as the way of life of generations to follow, who had to combat other problems than those their ancestors had to deal with. The Colonial government's belief that the Flats could be a source of fresh produce for the growing Cape Town, proved to be right. The region established itself as the "Fresh produce larder of cape Town". Today many descendants find themselves in all the different social spheres throughout South Africa. A substantial number of descendants of the settlers however still live and farm on the properties their forefathers established. The farming area, although considerably smaller than the original settlement area, is of strategical and economical importance today because of the huge amount of vegetables which is being produced almost inside the city boundaries for the daily growing population of Cape Town.

Metalexicographic criteria for a monolingual descriptive dictionary presenting the standard variety of YipunuTomba Moussavou, Fatima 12 1900 (has links)
Dissertation (DLitt)--University of Stellenbosch, 2007. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The dictionaries available in the Gabonese languages are all translation dictionaries biased towards
French and compiled by missionaries and colonial administrators. No proper monolingual dictionaries
exist in the Gabonese languages. There is therefore a need for monolingual dictionaries in the
Gabonese languages, particularly in Yipunu, one of the Bantu languages (B 43) spoken in the South of
Gabon. Yipunu is a regional vehicular language or a major or majority language. Yipunu is a
domestic language i.e spoken inside Bapunu communities or a mother tongue or first language and
Yipunu is also taught as subject in the national educational system.
As a response to this need, this dissertation proposes metalexicographic criteria for the compilation of a
standard descriptive monolingual dictionary with special reference to Yipunu. The proposed model
focuses primarily on the inclusion and the treatment of the standard variety of Yipunu and to a lesser
degree on the other varieties. Such a model is directed at a dictionary primarily dealing with the needs
of the average, educated members of the Yipunu speech community, the mother-tongue speakers, and
also designed for experienced and advanced learners of Yipunu and their teachers.
This study aims to point out how important standard descriptive monolingual dictionaries are in general
and specifically in the case of African Bantu languages. This study also aims to highlight the
importance for Gabonese lexicographers to adopt modern lexicographical principles in dictionary
compilation such as the user-driven dictionary and the corpus-based dictionary. This model, although
devised for Yipunu, will eventually serve as model for the design of standard descriptive dictionaries in
all Gabonese languages. This study provides information about the content and the structures of such a
dictionary and is structured as follows: Chapter 1 focuses on introducing and contextualising the research. It presents the linguistic situation
in Gabon with reference to the status of Yipunu. It also shows the importance and the relevance of the
research and gives the theoretical basis, methodology, hypotheses and objectives underlying the study.
Chapter 2 criticises the lexicographic works in Yipunu in order to improve the quality of future
Yipunu dictionaries and examines the major needs of Yipunu lexicography.
Chapter 3 envisages some aspects of the standardisation of Yipunu. It targets the discussion at the
level of the language analysis namely the phonology, the grammar, the dictionary and the orthography
of Yipunu.
Chapter 4 discusses the user perspective, which guides the dictionary compilation. It focuses on the
user profile, user typologies and dictionary functions. The intended dictionary has a multifunctional
character. Special attention is given to a pioneering survey of dictionary use among Gabonese students
and to the discussion of the teaching of dictionary use in Gabon.
Chapter 5 deals with the dictionary plan. Different aspects such as the style guide, the genuine
purpose, the dictionary basis, data collection, the data collection policy, data collection methods and the
corpus of the proposed dictionary are discussed
Chapter 6 elaborates on the macrostructure of the proposed dictionary. The dictionary gives priority to
a strict alphabetical macrostructure. Macrostructural elements, lemmatisation strategies, and types of
lemmas and articles to be included in the proposed dictionary are discussed.
Chapter 7 focuses on the microstructure of the proposed dictionary. The model suggests an obligatory
microstructure and an extended obligatory microstructure and discusses the variety of data to be
included in the articles of the proposed dictionary.
Chapter 8 deals with the outer text section and the guide structures of the proposed dictionary, which
includes front and back matter texts. Polyaccessibility, a system of cross-referencing, and lemmatic and
non-lemmatic addressings are characteristics of the proposed dictionary. Chapter 9 makes some concluding remarks by highlighting the focus point of each chapter of the
dissertation. It gives also some recommendations for the research. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die woordeboeke beskikbaar in die Gaboenese tale is almal vertalende woordeboeke gerig op Frans en
saamgestel deur sendelinge en koloniale administrateurs. Geen werklike eentalige woordeboeke
bestaan in die Gaboenese tale nie. Daar is gevolglik 'n behoefte aan eentalige woordeboeke in die
Gaboenese tale, veral in Jipoenoe, een van die Bantoetale (B 43) wat in die Suide van Gaboen gepraat
word. Jipoenoe is 'n streeksvoertaal of 'n hoof- of meerderheidstaal. Jipoenoe is 'n huistaal d.w.s. wat
binne Bapoenoegemeenskappe gepraat word of 'n moedertaal of eerste taal en Jipoenoe word ook as
vak in die nasionale opvoedingstelsel onderrig.
In reaksie op hierdie behoefte stel hierdie proefskrif metaleksikografiese kriteria voor vir die
samestelling van 'n standaard beskrywende eentalige woordeboek met spesiale verwysing na Jipoenoe.
Die voorgestelde model fokus primêr op die insluiting en behandeling van die standaardvariëteit van
Jipoenoe en in 'n mindere mate op die ander variëteite. Die model is gerig op 'n woordeboek wat
primêr aandag gee aan die behoeftes van die deursnee- opgevoede lede van die
Jipoenoespraakgemeenskap, die moedertaalsprekers, en wat ook ontwerp is vir kundige en gevorderde
leerders van Jipoenoe en hul onderwysers.
Die doel van hierdie studie is om aan te toon hoe belangrik standaard beskrywende eentalige
woordeboeke in die algemeen en spesifiek in die geval van die Bantoetale van Afrika is. Die doel van
hierdie studie is ook om die belangrikheid vir Gaboenese leksikograwe te belig om moderne
leksikografiese beginsels toe te pas in die samestelling van woordeboeke soos die gebruikersgedrewe
woordeboek en die korpusgebaseerde woordeboek. Hierdie model, alhoewel ontwerp vir Jipoenoe, sal
uiteindelik dien as model vir die opstel van standaard beskrywende woordeboeke vir al die Gaboenese
tale. Die studie verskaf inligting oor die inhoud en strukture van so 'n woordeboek en is soos volg
gestruktureer:
Hoofstuk 1 fokus op 'n inleiding tot en 'n kontekstualisering van die navorsing. Dit beskryf die
taalkundige toestand in Gaboen met betrekking tot die status van Jipoenoe. Dit toon ook die belangrikheid en relevansie van die navorsing en gee die teoretiese basis, metodologie, hipoteses en
doelstellings onderliggend aan die studie.
Hoofstuk 2 kritiseer die leksikografiese werk in Jipoenoe met die doel om die gehalte van die

Manlike subjektiwiteit in die Afrikaanse prosa vanaf 1980 tot 2000Visagie, Andries Gerhardus 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DLitt (Afrikaans and Dutch))--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since the 1980s the narrative prose of male writers in Afrikaans has been characterised by an intensive
questioning of consolidated masculine subjectivity with the (political) father as its primary manifestation.
The growing influence of postmodernism and the greater freedom enjoyed by women and gay authors to
write about gender issues, facilitated the process of paternal emancipation in Afrikaans narrative. This
dissertation is a study of the representation of masculine subjectivity in Afrikaans prose writing from 1980
to 2000 concentrating on the diverse expressions of masculine subjectivity in literary texts with reference to
the work of Luce Irigaray (1980 and 1985) on subjectivity, and the theory of R.W. Connell (1995) on the
plurality of masculinities. The position of the father in conveying political values to the son within the
Oedipal context is examined in a number of texts with specific emphasis on the contrasting processes
regulating the hegemonic masculinity of the white father (Alexander Strachan 1984 and Mark Behr 1993)
and the marginalised masculinity of the coloured father during apartheid (Benjamin 1997). The work of
Alexander Strachan (1994), Piet van Rooyen (1997) and Johann Botha (1997) are examples of texts that
display resemblance to the literature of the “School of Virility” identified by Peter Schwenger (1984: 13).
Unlike the male protagonists in colonial texts, the masculine subjects in the work of Van Rooyen and Botha
can no longer escape the political and historical turmoil of civilisation by finding refuge in “pristine” and
unpoliticised hunting fields. Since 1994 the loss of political power, which for so long conditioned the
masculine subjectivity of Afrikaner men, has also reached the hunting fields of postcolonial southern
Africa. Through the influence postmodernism, a productive tension in literature and theory has developed
between the autonomous, consolidated masculine subject, and the decentered masculine subject. Breyten
Breytenbach’s representation of the fragmented masculine subject opens up the possibility of a move away
from the historical imperatives of the totalising, and often violent, masculine subject. However,
Breytenbach (1998) suggests that, in some instances, the fragmented masculine subject may be co-opted by
the historically persistent discourse of the autonomous (and violent) masculine subject. Gay writers Koos
Prinsloo (1992) and Johann de Lange (1996 and 2000), and to a lesser extent Hennie Aucamp (1981),
devote themselves to a sceptical interrogation of identity and subjectivity as categories that are based on
heterosexist values. Prinsloo and De Lange employ sexuality as a way to give expression to their antihumanist
critique of the subject. The tension between consolidated masculine subjectivity and decentered
masculine subjectivity is also present in the autobiography of Joseph Marble (1999). In Marble’s life
history the discontinuity between the youthful “I” as protagonist and the adult “I” as narrator contributes to
the multiplicity that ultimately characterises Marble as a masculine subject in the text. Finally, this
dissertation presents a view of masculine subjectivity in Afrikaans narrative that emphasises diversity. Yet,
it is noticeable that nearly all the texts under discussion maintain a certain relationship with hegemonic
masculinity. Furthermore, it is only in the work of a small number of writers such as Breytenbach, Prinsloo
and De Lange that the interrogation of masculine subjectivity leads to an exploration of modes of being that
may transcend the historically persistent discourse of masculine domination. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert die jare tagtig van die twintigste eeu word die prosa van manlike skrywers in Afrikaans gekenmerk
deur ’n intensiewe bevraagtekening van gekonsolideerde manlike subjektiwiteit soos veral beliggaam deur
die (politieke) vader. Hierdie proses van ontvoogding in die Afrikaanse prosa is gefasiliteer deur die
groeiende invloed van die postmodernisme en die groter vryheid wat vroueskrywers en gay skrywers geniet
het om oor geslagtelike kwessies te skryf. Hierdie proefskrif is ’n studie van die representasie van manlike
subjektiwiteit in die prosa van 1980 tot 2000 en bestudeer die uiteenlopende verskyningsvorms van
manlike subjektiwiteit in literêre prosatekste met verwysing na onder andere die werk van Luce Irigaray
(1980 en 1985) oor subjektiwiteit en die teorie van R.W. Connell (1995) oor manlikheid as ’n meervoudige
verskynsel. Die posisie van die vader in die oordrag van politieke waardes na die seun word in enkele
tekste ondersoek binne die Oidipale familiedrama met aandag vir die kontrasterende prosesse wat ’n rol
speel by die hegemoniese manlikheid van die blanke vader (Alexander Strachan 1984 en Mark Behr 1993)
en die gemarginaliseerde manlikheid van die gekleurde vader tydens apartheid (S.P. Benjamin 1997).
Strachan (1994) se prosa word verder saam met die werk van Piet van Rooyen (1997) en Johann Botha
(1997) bestudeer as voorbeelde van tekste wat toegespits is op viriele manlikheid. By Van Rooyen en
Botha kan die manlike subjek nie meer soos in die koloniale prosa die vermoeiende politiek en geskiedenis
van die beskawing agterlaat deur hom tot die “ongeskonde” en ongepolitiseerde jagveld te wend nie. Die
verlies van politieke mag, wat vir lank die manlike subjektiwiteit van die Afrikanerman bepaal het, is na
1994 ook ’n werklikheid op jagvelde van die postkoloniale Suider-Afrika. ’n Produktiewe spanning in
beskouings van manlike subjektiwiteit bestaan sedert die postmodernisme tussen die outonome,
gekonsolideerde subjek en die gedesentreerde subjek. Breyten Breytenbach (1998) se representasie van die
gefragmenteerde manlike subjek bied op die oog af die potensiaal om manlike subjektiwiteit los te maak
van die geweld en dominasie wat die patriargale orde kenmerk. By Breytenbach blyk dit egter dat die
gefragmenteerde manlike subjek in sommige gevalle gekaap kan word deur die histories standhoudende
diskoers van die outonome (en gewelddadige) manlike subjek. Die gay skrywers Koos Prinsloo (1992) en
Johann de Lange (1996 en 2000), en in ’n mindere mate Hennie Aucamp (1981), is in hulle werk betrokke
by ’n skeptiese vraagstelling oor identiteit en subjektiwiteit as kategorieë wat gegrond is op
heteroseksistiese waardes. Prinsloo en De Lange gryp gay seksualiteit aan as ’n medium om uiting te gee
aan hulle antihumanistiese kritiek teen die subjek. Die spanning tussen gekonsolideerde manlike
subjektiwiteit en gedesentreerde manlike subjektiwiteit is ook aanwesig in Joseph Marble (1999) se
outobiografie. In Marble se lewensverhaal dra die diskontinuïteit tussen die jeugdige “ek” as protagonis en
die volwasse “ek” as verteller by tot die uiteindelike meervoudige beeld wat van Marble as manlike subjek
na vore tree. Hierdie proefskrif bied uiteindelik ’n beeld van manlike subjektiwiteit in die Afrikaanse prosa
wat diversiteit vooropstel, maar dit is nietemin opvallend dat feitlik elke besproke teks ’n sekere
verhouding handhaaf met hegemoniese manlikheid. Dit is verder net by enkele skrywers soos
Breytenbach, Prinsloo en De Lange dat die bevraagtekening van manlike subjektiwiteit lei tot ’n
verkenning van synsvorme wat moontlik die histories deurlopende diskoers van manlike dominasie sou kon
oorskry.
