Afrikanerskap as literêre motief 'n studie in teorie en praktyk met spesifieke verwysing na Afrikaanse tekste uit die veertiger- en tagtigerjareJacobs, Aletta Maria 11 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Die doel van hierdie studie was om vas te stel hoe die Afrikaner in literere
tekste van die veertiger- en tagtigerjare uitgebeeld word, en of 'n vaste beskouing
oor die begrip Afrikanerskap by die skrywers van die verskillende
tekste bestaan. Omdat die verhouding tussen die gekose tekste en die geskiedenis
telkens ondersoek is, is die Nuwe Historisistiese benadering as geskikte
teoretiese model gevolg. Waar hierdie benadering die klem op die realiteit
plaas, stel die lmagologie die beeld voorop, en die lmagologiese werkswyse
is dus aanvullend gevolg. Omdat die tekste van veertig hoofsaaklik as
koloniale literatuur beskou kan word, en die tekste van tagtig as postkoloniaal
van aard, is die koloniale en postkoloniale literatuur in Afrikaans
kortliks ondersoek. Die studie het verder gepoog om deeglik verkenning van
die begrippe Afrikaner en Afrikanerskap te doen aan die hand van verskillende
narratiewe tekste wat nie noodwendig literer van aard is nie. Alhoewel daar
by die herlees van die vier en twintig literere tekste van die veertigerjare gevind
is dat die tekste hoofsaaklik nog as koloniale literatuur beskou kan word, is die
interessante insig verwerf dat sekere tekste wat nie deel van die kanon vorm
nie, 'n ander realiteit oor die Afrikaner en oor Afrikanerskap aan die leser
voorhou as wat tradisioneel die geval was. So is byvoorbeeld bevind dat die
strukture wat die Afrikanermaghebber sedert die veertigerjare geskep het, die
belange van die Afrikanerdom moes dien. Deur die herlees van die tekste kon die gegewe opnuut ge'interpreteer word en kon nodige aanpassings dus by
aanvaarde opvattings gemaak word. Die ondersoek het verder aan die lig gebring
dat veral die tekste uit die tagtigerjare verruimend ingewerk het op
bestaande, geykte opvattinge oor die Afrikaner en Afrikanerskap en dat sulke
opvattinge deur die tekste ondermyn, ontluister of bloot ontken word. Ten
slotte het dit duidelik geword dat daar geen eensydige of stabiele betekenis oor die begrippe Afrikaner en van Afrikanerskap uit die verskillende tekste afgelei
kon word nie / The purpose of this study was to determine how the Afrikaner was depicted in the
literary texts of the forties and the eighties, and to determine whether the authors
of the different texts expresses fixed views of the concept Afrikanerskap. As the
relationship between the chosen texts and history had been investigated several
times, the New Historisistic approach was adopted as a suitable theoretical model.
As this approach places the emphasis on reality, and the lmagology sees the image
as the most important, lmagological procedures were used additionally. Because the
texts of the forties can be seen as mainly colonial of nature and the texts of the
eighties as post colonial, the colonial and post colonial literature in Afrikaans was
briefly investigated. The study further attempted to thoroughly investigate the concepts
Afrikaner and Afrikanerskap with reference to different narrative texts which
are not necessarily literary of nature. Although the rereading of twenty four literary
texts of the forties confirms that the texts could mainly be seen as colonial literature,
the interesting conclusion was made that certain texts not included in the
canon gave the reader another reality of Afrikaner and Afrikanerskap than was traditionally
the case. It was found, for example, that structures created by Afrikaner
authorities since the forties were created to serve the needs of the Afrikanerdom.
The rereading of these specific texts led to new interpretations and the necessary
adaptations could be done to previously accepted views. The research further indicated
that texts from the eighties especially had a broadening effect on existing hackneyed conceptions of Afrikaner and Afrikanerskap and that such views are
undermined, clouded or simply ignored by the texts. In conclusion it became clear
that no onesided or static interpretation of the concepts Afrikaner and Afrikanerskap
could be derived from the different texts / Afrikaans & Theory of Literature / D. Litt. et Phil. (Afrikaans)

Construction of threat : Afrikaansness as an identity in crisis in post-apartheid South Africa.Alberts, Charl. January 2012 (has links)
In a South African society in transformation it is well known that "white‟ Afrikaans-speaking South Africans are experiencing social change as a painful process. Against this background the purpose of the study was to investigate the construction of identities of being Afrikaans during family conversations between school-going Afrikaner adolescents and their parents in the post-apartheid context. A qualitative research design was utilized to investigate the phenomenon of negotiating identities of Afrikaansness in depth, openness and rich detail. A social constructionist meta-theoretical perspective underpinned the study. Theoretical perspectives from discursive psychology, as well as the dialogical self theory, formulated by Hermans and colleagues, framed the analysis and interpretation of the data. In contrast to conventional psychological approaches to the study of adolescent identity, such as the neo-Eriksonian identity status model developed by Marcia, identity was conceptualised as discursively produced between speakers in dialogue, and in particular social, cultural and historical contexts.
Nine Afrikaner families, consisting of both parents and at least one school-going adolescent, between 16 and 18 years of age, were invited to take part in family conversations about their "white‟ Afrikaner identity. The nine family conversations were managed as focus groups (Wilkinson, 2004), and the purpose was to allow family members to talk freely and interact with one another around their experiences as "white‟ Afrikaans-speakers in the post-apartheid society. A discursive and rhetorical analysis, using Billig's (1996) rhetorical approach, was utilized to analyse the transcribed texts of the family conversations.
The analysis revealed that when Afrikaners talk about their identities of being Afrikaans in the post-apartheid context their discourse involves talk about being threatened. Afrikaners seem to experience a sense of threat in relation to the stigma of being branded as "oppressors‟ and "racists‟ under apartheid, and they often utilize the discursive strategy of constructing themselves as victims and the Other as a powerful opponent or enemy. Furthermore, the analysis showed that the threat narratives contained an ambivalent structure. This ambivalent structure can be seen in the use of disclaimers, mitigations and other forms of racism denial in the construction of these threat narratives. These are the routine discursive manoeuvres of social face-keeping when talking about the Other. Analysis of the interview transcripts revealed that discourses of the past were often recited in the construction of threat narratives. In unpacking the Afrikaner threat narratives, it was shown how the participants recited ways of talking that were dominant in the apartheid era in making sense of changing realities in post-apartheid South Africa. The discourse of the "Swart Gevaar‟ (Black Danger) seems to be one of the most pervasive discourses in the production of the threat narratives, and it is used to construct a powerful Enemy that wants to harm the language, culture and interests of Afrikaners.
The analysis indicated that Afrikaner adolescents and their parents often collaborated in producing identities of threat and apartheid in conversation. However, during the dialogue forms of contradiction, contestation and discursive struggle also emerged. There were occasions during the dialogue where the adolescents utilized discursive and rhetorical resources from being embedded in de-segregated settings. These ways of talking can be characterized as "non-threat talk‟ and "non-separation/apartheid talk‟.
From a discursive and dialogical self theory perspective, identities are taken up as ways of doing or enacting identities in discourse and in dialogue, and not as universal and timeless structures of personality (such as the neo-Eriksonian identity status model). In trying to understand the complex identity struggles of Afrikaner adolescents in a tension-filled and rapidly changing society like South Africa, it is necessary to utilize theoretical and methodological tools that are appropriate in dealing with the complexity and multiplicity of identity responses that emerge in these contexts. For this reason the dialogical self theory was found to be a useful theoretical perspective in making sense of the multiplicity of voices or identities that emerge in a heterogeneous and globalizing society like South Africa. / Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2012.

"Re-thinking" the Great Trek: a study of the nature and development of the Boer community in the Ohrigstad/Lydenburg area, 1845-1877 / Rethinking the Great TrekErasmus, Diderick Justin January 1995 (has links)
From the late 1830s Boer settlers conquered and settled vast new lands outside the Cape Colony. Although they more than doubled the area of European domination, historians have categorised Boer society outside the British colonies as primitive and dismissed the Boer conquests as an abberation from the broader process of European expansion. Such a distinction is no longer tenable. This study, which focuses on the Obrigstad/Lydenburg area, shows that the Boers were an integral part of European expansion in southern Africa. Settler expansion did not occur in a vacuum. Booming demand for commodities sparked economic growth across the sub-continent; the Boers were part of this process and consistently strove to produce for the region's expanding markets. In tandem with the expanding regional system, the Boer economy grew constantly. This was reflected in the centralisation of power in the Z.A.R. as Boer producers created formal political and administrative structures to further their economic interests. (A parallel process culminated in the Cape with colonists receiving representative government in March 1853.) This correlation between political and economic development was evident in the creation of a coercive labour system by the Boer state. Through their control of state structures, the Boers employed measures ranging from brute force to punitive taxation, legally enforceable contracts and pass laws to procure and control workers. It is important to note that the creation of a coercive labour system by the Boers paralleled similar developments in the Cape Colony. The speed with which the Boer economy expanded in comparison to the Cape, however, meant that stages in the development of an unfree labour force which had been chronologically distinct in the Cape coexisted within the Boer coercive system. Boer dependence on coerced labour made conflict with African groups inevitable. African groups in the eastern Transvaal had already been partly moulded by predatory economic forces emanating from the Portuguese settlements on the east coast since at least the 1750s. The arrival of the Boers in the 1840s greatly accelerated this process. Some groups were crushed, but others were able to obtain the means to resist Boer rule by interfacing with the settler economy. The economic forces which drove Boer settlement were thus not confined to the white settlers: Boer expansion was paralleled by the rise of African survivor states. The Dlamini, for example, built the powerful Swazi state by exchanging captives, ivory and cattle for guns and horses. Similarly, the Pedi, through the large scale expon of migrant labour, were able to acquire the means to challenge Boer authority in the late 1870s. Oearly then, the Boers 'Were not only representative of the wider settler social and economic order, but were acting in response to the same circumstances as the British settlers, Portuguese traders and African survivor states. It is thus impossible to continue to classify them as retrogressive and distinct from other groups in the region.

The external dimension in the transformation of Afrikaner NationalismBotha, André Pedro January 1995 (has links)
This work looks at Afrikaner Nationalism, and more closely the changes it has undergone in years since external pressure has been applied against it from as early as 1946. This has been accomplished by placing it against the background of the international context ego as in relation to India and the British Commonwealth. Following a discussion of the ideology of nationalism in general, the thesis examines the specific case of Afrikaner Nationalism, which it portrays as an example of ethnonationalism. This latter is distinguished by familial ties and other stereotypes. After outlining the changing characteristics of Afrikaner Nationalism over time by reference to pronounciations by its leaders and other prominent spokesmen, this process of change is analysed with particular regard to the role played by international and other external pressures upon Afrikaner Nationalism. By carefully describing the changing attitudes of elite groups within Afrikaner Nationalism, the thesis assesses the impact of external factors. Then it is reasonably stated in this work that Afrikaner elites have become less exclusive under external pressure. The writer of this study is of the opinion that, give the fact that the doors of the National Party were thrown open, Afrikaner Nationalism and its aforementioned ideological organ are no longer identical.

Die geskiedenis van Despatch, 1945-1995: 'n verkennende studieSteyn, Jacobus Pieter January 2010 (has links)
Hierdie studie se fokus is op die wit Afrikaanssprekende-gemeenskap van Despatch. Daar word op die sosiale, politieke en godsdienstige geskiedenis van die wit Afrikaanssprekende-gemeenskap op Despatch gekonsentreer. Die studie ondersoek slegs die geskiedenis van die wit Afrikaanssprekende-gemeenskap van Despatch aangesien die dorp bekend daarvoor is dat dit oorwegend ʼn wit Afrikaanssprekende-gemeenskap is. Die ekonomie van Despatch en die bruin en swart inwoners word egter kortliks bespreek. Die tydperk van hierdie studie handel van 1945 – 1995. Dit was tydens hierdie jare wat Despatch amptelik as ʼn munisipaliteit gefunksioneer het. Uit die aard van die saak moet die studie gebeure wat aanleiding tot die nedersetting van wit mense langs die oewer van die Swartkopsrivier bespreek. Daar word ʼn kort studie gemaak van die periode 1700 (toe die eerste wit mense hulle langs die oewers van die Swartkopsrivier gevestig het) tot 1939 (wat die begin was van permanente nedersettings langs die syspoor op Despatch). Sekere gebeure word verder as 1995 bespreek. Dit word gedoen om kontinuiteit te behou wanneer belangrike gebeurtenisse, soos die oorskakeling na demokratiese regering in 1994, ondersoek word. Die doel van die studie is om ʼn verkennende ondersoek rakende die geskiedenis van die wit Afrikaanssprekende-gemeenskap van Despatch te doen. Die studie is ʼn verkennende ondersoek omrede nie al die aspekte van die geskiedenis van Despatch ondersoek sal word nie. Slegs die wit Afrikaanssprekende-gemeenskap se sosiale strukture (onderwys, godsdiens en kultuur), munisipale bestuur en politiek sal ondersoek word.
