The thesis concerns History teaching in South Africa 1966-2006. Focus lies on the usage of History as a tool of power and empowerment. Primary sources for the survey are textbooks, curricula’s and syllabuses. From a theoretical perspective the thesis discusses power, usage of history and pedagogic literature. The survey is done in a qualitative, hermeneutic way in order to find, discuss and explain underlying structures in the collected data. The thesis results show that History teaching in South Africa was based on an idea of a shared historical consciousness, apartheid, which legitimised the hegemony of the white people. The educational system was an important tool of power and empowerment for the government. The apartheid ideology was reproduced by the pedagogic literature. Today History is a part of Social Sciences and the subject has a focus on natural sciences and technology, which results in certain dilemmas educational-wise.

Sammanfattning Syftet med detta examensarbete är att bidra med kunskap om vilka möjligheter, samt svårigheter det finns med att implementera en ny läroplan. För att vidare konkretisera syftet har tre frågeställningar tagits fram: 1. Vad har verksamma inom skolväsendet i Sydafrika för uppfattningar om den nya läroplanen? 2. Vilka möjligheter samt hinder ser de verksamma inom skolväsendet i Sydafrika med den nya läroplanen? 3. Vad har implementeringsarbetet inneburit för de verksamma inom skolväsendet i Sydafrika? För att besvara mina frågeställningar så har jag genomfört tre kvalitativa intervjuer. Två av intervjuerna genomförde jag med lärare på en sydafrikansk lågstadieskola, och den tredje med en skolinspektör från det regionala skolkontoret. Förutom intervjuerna har jag även genomfört en strukturerad observation hos de två lärarna jag intervjuade. Resultatet av min undersökning visar ett samband mellan den utbildning som givits de verksamma inom skolväsendet i Sydafrika om den nya läroplanen, samt deras inställning till den. Undersökningen visar även att det råder stora skillnader i kvalité mellan olika skolor, och att de fortfarande är de traditionellt svarta skolområdena som tillhandahåller sämre kvalité, på grund av bristande resurser. / Abstract The purpose of this essay is to contribute with knowledge about which possibilities and difficulties there is about implementing a new curriculum. To further concrete the purpose, three issues has been developed: 1. What perceptions do the active in the South African schooling have about the new curriculum? 2. Which possibilities and difficulties does the active in the South African schooling see with the new curriculum? 3. What has the implementation work meant to the active in the South African schooling? In order to reply to my issues I did three qualitative interviews. Two of the interviews I conducted with teachers of a South African primary school, and the third with a school inspector from the regional school office. Beside the interviews I also did a structured observation of the two teachers I interviewed. The result of my study showed a link between the education given to the active in the South African schooling about the new curriculum, and their attitude against it. The study also showed that it occurs big differences in words of quality between different schools, and that it’s still the traditional black school areas that provide lower quality, because of lack of resources.

Na África do Sul, teve a peculiaridade de ocorrer em conjunto com o regime de apartheid, o que por muitas vezes desviou os estudos acadêmicos para a negligência com os direitos humanos e relações políticas. Diante disto, o objetivo do presente estudo é fazer uma análise das motivações, contexto, condução e resultados da política de substituição de importações sul-africana, amparada na teoria disponível sobre o tema, nos estudos específicos sobre essa experiência de política e, também, em dados secundários. A industrialização da África do Sul apresenta algumas indústrias relacionadas à mineração que são fortificadas com os incentivos do Governo depois da Primeira Guerra Mundial. No pós-guerra, inicia-se uma política de substituição mais elaborada, em conjunto com a criação de estatais, outros incentivos e o apartheid. Apesar do crescimento econômico e o desenvolvimento industrial alcançados na época, o apartheid ao mesmo tempo que forneceu mão de obra barata inicialmente, potencializou as distorções causadas pela política de substituição de importações, além de causar pressão internacional e conflitos internos. / Industrialization was a transformative process for modern societies, changing social and economic relations. In South Africa, it had the peculiarity of occurring in conjunction with the apartheid regime, which has often diverted academic studies to neglect of human rights and political relations. The objective of the present study is to analyze the motivations, context, conduction and results of the South African import substitution policy, based on the available theory on the subject, in the specific studies on this policy experience, and also in secondary data. South Africa's industrialization features some mining-related industries that are fortified with government incentives after the First World War. In the post-war period, it began a more elaborate policy of substitution, in conjunction with state-building, other incentives and apartheid. Despite the economic growth and the industrial development achieved at the time, apartheid simultaneously provided cheap labor initially and potentialized the distortions caused by the import substitution policy and cause international pressure and internal conflicts.

Thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Master of Technology: Design in the Faculty of Informatics and Design at the Cape Peninsula University of Technology 2014 / This study seeks to contribute to the field of documentary photography by looking at a resistance photographer who documented events during the liberation struggle against Apartheid in the 1980s in Cape Town, South Africa. The research explores the richness, depth and complexity of the reflective knowledge of the phenomenon and develops a sense of understanding of the meanings of the circumstances and social context of the researcher. It considers the thoughts, observations as well as reflections regarding the meanings and interpretations of experience as a photographer in the 1980s. The perspective of the research is to understand through the photographer’s memory the phenomenon of interest in the exhibition Martyrs, Saints & Sell-Outs and in so doing argue for a consideration of the lives of those who not only lived during Apartheid but continue to do so after its demise. In addition to thinking about questions of photographic representation, the study also addresses ideas of space, and unarticulated injuries and trauma. The photograph is well suited as a medium through which one may think about these difficult questions, for in its very inception, the medium is one of simultaneous absence and presence. The study concludes with recommendations for future investigation in the documentary photography narrative in Cape Town, South Africa.

Ao longo destes quase vinte anos após o fim do apartheid, é perceptível que a África do Sul se tornou cada vez mais presente no continente africano. Seja na esfera econômica e/ou na política, tanto no âmbito regional quanto continental, é fato que o interesse em atuar na África passou a ser preponderante para a política externa sul-africana. Em contrapartida a tal envolvimento, as respostas por parte de alguns países africanos nem sempre foram às esperadas por Pretoria, uma vez que a inserção sul-africana esteve acompanhada por desconfianças e questionamentos acerca do papel, das oportunidades e dos interesses sul- africanos no continente. Nesse sentido, é baseado nesta complexa interação que o trabalho em referência tem como objetivo central analisar a política externa da África do Sul para o continente africano. Através de revisão bibliográfica de caráter variado, como relatórios, discursos presidenciais, documentos oficiais advindos de Organizações Internacionais e do governo sul-africano, livros e artigos encontrados em Centros de Estudos Africanos e em Revistas acadêmicas especializadas na área, pretende-se defender a hipótese de que a África do Sul pós-apartheid abriu mão de uma possível tendência hegemônica e voltou-se a pacificação e ao desenvolvimento do continente. / During almost the past 20 years after the end of apartheid, South Africa has affirmed its presence more and more in African continent. In the economic and political sphere, either in regional scope or continental one, we can notice that the interest in acting in Africa has become predominant in South African foreign affairs. On the other hand, the relationships with some African countries and their reactions were not always the expected ones, considering that the South African insertion was attended by distrust and questioning about the South African role, opportunities and interests in the continent. In this sense, it is based on this complex dynamic that the following work presents the main objective of analyzing the foreign policy of South Africa into the post-apartheid and defend that the country gave up on a possible hegemonic approach to focus on the pacification and development of the continent. The methodology was worked through a revision of a variety of bibliography, such as reports, official documents from South African government and related International Organizations, books and articles from Center of Africa Studies and specialized publishers in this mentioned topic.

This thesis postulates that the inability of the post-apartheid government to deal decisively with the “legacies of apartheid education” is linked to the macro-educational policy trajectory endorsed by the African National Congress government in the early 1990s. It notes that post-apartheid education policymaking shows similarities with the National Party reforms initiated towards the end of the 1980s in education. In the late 1980s the apartheid government implemented a broad educational framework consonant with the rise of neo-liberal restructuring emerging internationally. It is argued that the teacher unions, and the South African Democratic Teachers Union (SADTU) in particular, were active role-players in shaping the new educational trajectory and discourse and that it was particularly because of the acquiescence of the unions that the government was able to embark on the road of neo-liberal restructuring with very little organised opposition. SADTU’s weak opposition to the rising influence of neo-liberal educational restructuring greatly facilitated the creation of a two-tier education system that South Africa is grappling with today, one for the rich and one for the poor. / Thesis (PhD (Education Policy Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Education Management and Policy Studies / PhD / unrestricted

Can the relationship White people have with the figure of the dog, in what currently exists as South Africa, be free of antiblackness? Following instances where I saw black women who worked as domestic workers walk dogs belonging to their White employers, I write these letters addressed to you, my sister, Palesa – meditating on the dog-Human relationships as sites of racial violence. The core analytic framework and theory I employ to explore these extreme, mundane, and in-between forms of violence, is Afro-Pessimism.
