This study takes up the phrase ‘the skin of all’ as a means to explore the tension between the singular and the collective, and between union and estrangement. I examine aesthetic, symbolic, and theoretical attempts at unification amidst various forms of difference and the political imperatives and implications attached to this aim. The goal is to analyze how such attempts were related to the development of artistic institutions and discourses as well as to broader sociopolitical conditions within and beyond Brazil’s dictatorship era (1964-1985). This dissertation reflects on the reemergence of the discourse of antropofagia throughout the sixties and seventies in Brazil, a concept first developed in the 1920s as an explicit rejection of the privileged position of European culture and the assertion of a unified Brazilian national identity forged from its colonial histories and the co-presence of indigenous, African, and European identities. I emphasize that antropofagia has functioned as a counterhegemonic proposition reliant on the appropriation of marginal racial positions and their integration into a larger national framework, while still acknowledging the productive potentials that antropofagia’s collapsing of boundaries facilitates. My project challenges simplified narratives of harmonic exchange, embracing contradiction and the tensions of privilege, access, and power. Examining primary sources, contemporaneous writings and present-day scholarship, this project interrogates the mythos, life, and after-life of Pape and Oiticica’s performance and participatory works and analyzes these alongside both artist’s media-based practices. Analyzing the broader aims and implications of Lygia Pape and Hélio Oiticica’s engagement with Black and indigenous cultures, I unpack the ways their works irresolutely engage with race in the Brazilian context and how a primitivistic essentialism has been central to these works and their reception.

PhD (African Studies) / Department of African Studies / In the 1980s South Africa was subjected to cultural embargo. However, at the height of the embargo, Paul Simon went against the political climate of the day and mounted a cross-cultural, multinational music project called Graceland. Although South African popular music can facilitate the prosperity of musicians, only few musicians have succeeded in fostering this aspect. Using popular music and pop culture Afrocentrism as frameworks, this study analyses the Graceland project in the context of the South African popular music of the 1980s. The empirical research approach leaning towards the qualitative method was used. Interviews and literature review were the main modes of data gathering. Owing to the sensitivity of the subject, ethical considerations were adhered to. The cultural embargo, as well as other political interventions aiming at pressurising the South African government to abandon its apartheid policies, were well-meaning, but at the same time, the cultural embargo had a negative impact in that the popular culture of the country went unrecognised by global players. It was envisaged that this study would help in understanding the motivations and intentions of the planners of the Graceland project, and how these were to benefit the South African music sector. / NRF

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2015 / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING : Hierdie proefskrif is ’n ondersoek na die wyse waarvolgens Duitse jeugboekskrywers die koloniale periode in Afrika uitbeeld. Duitse avontuurliteratuur speel dikwels af in die koloniale periode in Afrika. Motiewe in die avontuurroman stem egter nie altyd ooreen met die historiese konteks en geografiese ruimtes nie. Dit skep die indruk dat so ’n verhaal tyd- en ruimteloos is en dat die historiese en geografiese konteks bloot die afstand tussen Afrika en Europa beklemtoon. In die lig van die feit dat Afrika en sy historiese konteks dikwels as eksotiese agtergrond dien, bespreek die studie die problematiek rondom die manier waarvolgens skrywers die koloniale periode in die avontuurliteratuur ontleed. Vervolgens word die vraag gestel tot watter mate die uitbeelding van Afrika sedert 1945 verander het. Die wyse waarop die koloniale periode in Afrika in Duitse jeugliteratuur uitgebeeld word, behoort dus ondersoek te word binne die konteks van die tradisionele avontuurliteratuur. Deurdat die studie gesentreer is rondom die avontuurliteratuur voor 1945 en avontuurboeke na 1945, stel die dissertasie ondersoek in tot watter mate jeugboeke en hulle uitbeelding van die koloniale periode verander het en in hoeverre die tradisionele avontuurliteratuur aan hierdie boeke ontleen is. In hierdie proefskrif word avontuurverhale en avontuurlike jeugverhale wat tydens die koloniale periode in Afrika afspeel, vervolgens ontleed. Die studie fokus op vier periodes: Eerstens word tradisionele avontuurstories en motiewe wat ’n belangrike rol speel in die uitbeelding van Afrika, geïdentifiseer. Die volgende tekste word ontleed: C.Falkenhorst se Der Baumtöter (1894), Gustav Frenssen se Peter Moors Fahrt nach Südwest (1906), Josef S. Viera se Bana Sikukuu (1924) en Gust in der Klemme (1933), Max Mezger se Aufruhr auf Madagaskar (1930) en Rolf Italiaander se Wüstenfüchse (1934). Tweedens ondersoek die studie die rol wat avontuurmotiewe – inisiasie, weerstand en verowering – speel in jeugboeke wat in die Federale Republiek van Duitsland gepubliseer is. Die volgende tekste word onder die loep geneem: Kurt Lütgen se ...die Katzen von Sansibar zählen (1962), Rolf Italiaander se Mubange, der Junge aus dem Urwald (1957), Herbert Kaufmann se Der Teufel tanzt im Ju-Ju-Busch en sy historiese roman Des Königs Krokodil (1959). Derdens ondersoek die studie watter rol avontuurmotiewe – die edel barbaar (edle Wilde), antiheld en die tweegeveg – speel in jeugboeke wat in die Duitse Demokratiese Republiek gepubliseer is. Die volgende tekste word analiseer: Ferdinand May se roman Sturm über Südwest-Afrika (1962) en Götz R. Richter se Savvytrilogie (1955 – 1963) en Die Löwen kommen (1969). Laastens stel die studie die vraag tot watter mate die kontemporêre avontuurliteratuur – soos Hermann Schultz se sendingroman Auf den Strom (1998) ’n nuwe ontwikkeling toon wat van die tradisionele avontuurliteratuur van die 19de en 20ste eeu afwyk. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT : This dissertation investigates how the African colonial period is portrayed in German youth literature. German adventure literature is often set in the African colonial period. However, motifs in the adventure novel do not always correspond with historical themes and geographical spaces. This gives the impression that such novels stand outside of time and space and that the historical and geographical context merely emphasize the distance between Africa and Europe. In light of the fact that Africa and its historical context are often reduced to an exotic backdrop, questions are raised about the way authors examine the colonial period in the adventure literature and how the portrayal of Africa has changed since 1945. The question how the African colonial period is portrayed in German youth literature is therefore examined within the context of the traditional adventure literature. Reflecting on adventure literature before 1945 on the one hand and adventure stories after 1945 on the other, this study examines to what extent youth books and their portrayal of the colonial period have changed and how these books relate back to the traditional adventure literature. For this purpose, adventure stories and adventurous youth stories and –novels that are set in the colonial period in Africa are analysed and the study focuses on four periods: Firstly, traditional adventure stories and motifs that play an important role in the portrayal of Africa are identified. The following are analysed: C. Falkenhorst’s Der Baumtöter (1894), Gustav Frenssen’s Peter Moors Fahrt nach Südwest (1906), Josef S. Viera’s Bana Sikukuu (1924) and Gust in der Klemme (1933), Max Mezger’s Aufruhr auf Madagaskar (1930) and Rolf Italiaander’s Wüstenfüchse (1934). Secondly, the dissertation investigates what role adventure motifs – initiation, resistance and conquest – play in the youth literature of the Federal Republic of Germany. The following are analysed: Kurt Lütgen’s …die Katzen von Sansibar zählen (1962), Rolf Italiaander’s Mubange, der Junge aus dem Urwald (1957), Herbert Kaufmann’s Der Teufel tanzt im Ju-Ju-Busch and his historical novel Des Königs Krokodil (1959). Thirdly, the study examines adventure motifs – noble savage (edle Wilde), anti-hero and the duel – in the literature published in the German Democratic Republic. These are Ferdinand May’s novel Sturm über Südwest-Afrika (1962) and Götz R. Richter’s Savvy-Trilogie (1955-1963) and Die Löwen kommen (1969). Lastly, the dissertation poses the question to what extent the contemporary adventure literature – like Hermann Schulz’ missionary novel Auf dem Strom (1998) – shows a new development which deviates from the traditional adventure literature of the 19th and 20th century.

The central scope of the research consists on how musicians and activists have taken the afrobeat as a stylistic and aesthetic reference. Through the analysis of phonographic production and cultural activities it’s noticed that the afrobeat music bacame a new basis for identity and musical dialogue. It explores also the political clashes around the incorporation of afrobeat into different social and ethnic extracts. It is also emphasized that through this style, a new black and young affirmation has been made in the context of the metropolis’ peripheries in Brazil. Inserted in the Cultural Studies, this investigation’s relevance stems from the fact that, with the afrobeat, it is possible to understand certain facets about how occur the cultural movements, identity reconfigurations and a new formations of subjectivities between Africa and America by the routes of the black diaspora / A presente pesquisa tem como objetivo compreender as influências do afrobeat, estilo musical nigeriano, e de seu principal criador, o músico Fela Kuti, sobre as produções musicais emergentes no contexto urbano no Brasil contemporâneo. O escopo central da pesquisa consiste no modo como músicos e ativistas tomaram o afrobeat como referência estilística e estética. Por meio da análise da produção fonográfica e de atividades culturais se percebe que a música afrobeat se tornou uma nova base de diálogo musical e identitário. Explora, também, os embates políticos em torno da incorporação do afrobeat em diferentes extratos sociais e étnicos. Destaca que, por meio desse estilo, uma nova afirmação negra e jovem se fez no contexto das periferias das metrópoles no Brasil. Inserida nos Estudos Culturais, a relevância dessa investigação decorre do fato que, com o afrobeat, é possível compreender determinadas facetas sobre como ocorrem as movimentações culturais, reconfigurações identitárias e a formação de novas subjetividades entre a África e a América pelas rotas da diáspora negra

The thesis of this study is that indigenous Tsonga literature forms a valid and authoritative commentary on missionary Christianity. In this study, the value of literary works by selected Tsonga writers is explored in three basic directions: (a) as a commentary on missionary Christianity, (b) as a source of and challenge to missiology, and (c) as a source of a Black missiology of 1 i berat ion. The momentous intervention of Swiss missionaries amongst the Vatsonga, through the activities of the Swiss Mission in South Africa (SMSA) must be granted. Similarly, its abiding influence formerly in the Tsonga Presbyterian Church (TPC), now the Evangelical Presbyterian Church in South Africa (EPCSA), the Vatsonga in general and Tsonga literature in particular must be recognized. But our missiological task is to problematise and explore both missionary instrumentality and local responses variously and creatively. The first chapter introduces the thesis, central issues of historiography and ideology as well as an introductory history of the SMSA. In the second chapter, the commentary of Tsonga writers through the media of historical and biographical works on missionary Christianity is sketched. Selected Tsonga novels become the object of inquiry in the third chapter. The novels come very close to a direct evaluation of missionary Christianity. They contain commentary on a wide variety of issues in mission. The fourth chapter concentrates on two Tsonga plays and a number of Tsonga poems. In the one play, missionary Christianity is likened to garments that are too sho· ~' whilst in the other, missionary Christianity is contemptuously ignored and excluded - recognition granted only to the religion and gods of the Vatsonga. The fifth and final chapter contains the essential commentary of indigenous Tsonga literature on missionary Christianity as well as the implications for both global and local missiology. / Christian Spirituality, Church History and Missiology / D.

O ensino de temas ligados a cultura africana, por vezes, acaba restringido ao período onde inúmeras pessoas foram escravizadas e trazidas ao Brasil, no entanto, a história da África não começa e nem termina com a escravidão. O continente africano dispõe de uma pluralidade cultural abrangente e aqui propomos a discussão sobre a inclusão das religiões de matriz africana no ensino, com base na Lei nº 10.639, a qual determina o ensino da história e cultura africana nos currículos escolares. Em específico, abordamos as correntes de Batuque, Umbanda e Linha Cruzada, as quais destacam-se no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Essa pesquisa acadêmica, aliada à pesquisa historiográfica, buscou, também, conhecer in loco a cultura pesquisada, permitindo assim, a análise dessas correntes religiosas e, também, a busca pela diminuição da intolerância religiosa e, de certa forma, da intolerância racial, já que, muitas vezes, ambas são associadas e, assim, ainda mais segregadas. Procuramos diminuir o abismo entre a produção acadêmica e o conhecimento escolar e, para isso, produzimos um compilado de informações, onde o conhecimento acadêmico foi didatizado, em forma de um manual paradidático. Esta publicação é destinada a alunos e professores do ensino fundamental e médio, como uma ferramenta de pesquisa, a qual idealizamos ser contribuidora na formação de estudantes conhecedores das raízes formadoras da cultura brasileira, tornando-os agentes de uma geração que promova atos contra as mais diversas formas de intolerância. / The teaching of themes related to African culture, sometimes, ends up restricted to the period when numerous people were enslaved and brought to Brazil, however, the history of Africa does not begin and end with slavery. The African continent has a broad cultural plurality and here we propose the discussion on the inclusion of the religions of African matrix in the education, based on the Law nº 10.639, which determines the teaching of African history and culture in the school curricula. Specifically, we approach the currents of Batuque, Umbanda and Linha Cruzada, which stand out in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. This academic research, allied to the historiographic research, also sought to know the culture in loco, thus allowing the analysis of these religious currents, and also the search for a decrease in religious intolerance and, to a certain extent, racial intolerance, since both are often associated and thus even more segregated. We try to reduce the chasm between academic production and scholastic knowledge and, for this, we produce a compilation of information, where academic knowledge was taught, in the form of a paradidático manual. This publication is intended for students and teachers of elementary and secondary education, as a research tool, which we idealize to be a contributor in the training of students who are knowledgeable about the roots that form the Brazilian culture, making them agents of a generation that promotes acts against the most various forms of intolerance.

PhD (African Studies) / Department of African Studies / Mmino wa bana (Children’s songs) are subjected to many changes today; so much so that in time it could cease to exist in its original form or be replaced by genres promoted on televisions. This study focuses on the genre as practised in the Moletjie community. The study explores mmino wa bana by examining its musicological elements, educational validity, and the general social functions within the context of the Moletjie community. By providing insight into these aspects, we could be able to ascertain the transportability of musical elements and philosophies across many contexts. Twenty-one children’s songs were collected for the study. In addition, interviews were conducted with elders and members of the Moletjie royal family to capture the narrative views of the genre. Additional information was also captured in the form of diary notes. The study used an Afrocentric approach as its theoretical framework. The design was qualitative with semi structured interviews functioning as the mode of data collection. For analysis, music programs were used. The body of knowledge emanating from the study is packaged in such a way that it could be used by scholars in African musicology, policy planners, and others interested in the culture of the people of Moletjie community. The school will also find the study to be a useful resource in crafting textbooks for classroom purposes. / NRF
