This thesis aims to allow the meanings engendered by various black hairstyle choices to emerge as discursive texts with which to further explore issues of black identity in post-apartheid South Africa. It seeks to identify what, if any, new discursive spaces and possibilities are operational in the post-apartheid capitalist context, and how identities are moulded by, and in tum, influence these possibilities. Operating within a discourse analytic approach, this research did not intend to establish fixed and generalisable notions of identity, but by unpacking the discursive baggage attached to historically loaded subjectivities it is concerned with reflecting identity as an ongoing and reflexive project. Entailing a diverse selection of texts, the analysis includes self-generated texts (stemming from interviews, a focus group and participant observation), and public domain texts (stemming from online and print media articles). Chapters 5 - 9 constitute the textual analysis. Using a consumer hair care product as a text, chapter 5 serves as an introduction to discourses surrounding black hair as a variously constructed object. This focus is concerned, more specifically, with the construction of black hair as a 'natural' object in chapter 6. Chapter 7 examines black hair gemonies and the " problematic classification and de/classification of class and consumer identities. Discourses pertaining to the construction and positioning of gendered and sexual subjectivities are explored in chapter 8. Finally, chapter 9 is concerned with the operations of discourses as they function to construct essentialised or hybrid conceptions of identity. The implications for black identity construction in post-apartheid South Africa are discussed in chapter 10 alongside a deconstruction of the research method and researcher positioning.

Ce mémoire porte sur une étude du corps dans sa dimension socioculturelle. À partir d’entrevues sous le mode du récit de vie, je cherche à comprendre les manières dont les différences qui passent par le corps participent à définir les individus, en fonction des connotations culturelles qui y sont rattachées. Ces différences sont définies comme des composantes du corps qui sont perçues comme une déviation de la norme sachant que celle-ci est établie par une culture dominante. Trois corps différents ont fait l’objet de cette étude : un corps de petite taille, un corps de race noire et un corps tatoué. Cette démarche est essentiellement ancrée dans un cadre théorique faisant écho aux études culturelles telles que définies par Stuart Hall (1997) et aux études de genres selon Judith Butler (2001). Elle émerge du principe d’après lequel le corps est un réservoir de signes dont les connaissances produites à l’intérieur du système social contribuent à créer des sujets. Ce travail s’organise autour de questions qui touchent aux pratiques culturelles qui participent à la construction du corps, à la production des différences, à l’inscription des différences dans le corps et au processus de subjectivation des individus. De plus, il est suggéré que les connotations négatives associées aux différences créent des systèmes de classification hiérarchisés marqués par des formes de discrimination des groupes dominés. Ce travail aboutit à une mise en évidence des différences comme des éléments organisant les relations sociales à travers des rapports de pouvoir dont l’exercice rappelle la structure de la société disciplinaire telle qu’étudiée par Michel Foucault (1975). / This thesis deals with issues related to the body considered as a socio-cultural construct. Based on interviews inspired by the life-story method, I try to understand the ways in which body differences contribute to individual identification, in relation to the cultural connotations attached to them. These differences are defined as components of the body, perceived as a deviation from the norm established by the dominant culture. Three different bodies have been the subject of this study: one short, one black, and one tattooed. This approach is essentially rooted in a theoretical framework of Cultural Studies, as defined by Stuart Hall (1997), and in one of Gender Studies, as per Judith Butler (2001). It derives from the idea that the body is a reservoir of signs, producing meaning within a social system which contributes in transforming individuals into subjects. This work is organized around issues affecting cultural practices involved in the construction of the body, in the production of differences, in the writing of those differences in the body, and in the process of subjectification of individuals. Moreover, it argues that the negative connotations associated with differences create hierarchical classification systems marked by forms of discrimination of dominated groups. This work focuses on differences as organizing elements of social relations through power struggles whose presence is reminiscent of Michel Foucault's study of the structure of the disciplinary society (1975).

University of the Witwatersrand Faculty of Humanities Political Studies Master’s Research Report, February 2017 / The history of segregation in South Africa is well documented. The shadows of the apartheid system still linger in society to date, especially in the form of racial inequality, race consciousness and racial classification. Contemporary student protests and vandalism in institutions of higher education reveal deep-seated tensions that open a can of worms concerning race and equality – elements that have long been of concern in the Black Consciousness Movement and its ideology in the early 1960s and 70s. This research report assesses how Black Consciousness tenets’ and rhetoric are re-emerging in the current national student movement, from the #RhodesMustFall to the #FeesMustFall movements. Black Consciousness ideology in South Africa, as articulated by Biko, sought the attainment of a radical egalitarian and non-racial society. Amongst some of the espoused principles of the Black Consciousness Movement that defined South African youth politics in the 1970s, is that Black Consciousness emphasised values of black solidarity, self-reliance, individual and collective responsibility, and black liberation. The year 2015 witnessed the resurgence of Black Consciousness language at the forefront of student movements, most notably the #RhodesMustFall and the #FeesMustFall campaigns. The #FeesMustFall movement and its supporters uphold that their cause is legitimate because it does not make sense for household incomes to depreciate next to escalating costs of living and rising tuition fees. It further states that the ANC fears it because its demands stand contrary to ANC-led government’s interests and have accused the ANC of attempting to capture the movement – hence the declaration that #FeesMustFall is a direct critique of the entire socio-economic and political order of the ruling ANC and exposes ANC corruption and betrayal. The movement continues, though its cause tends to be diluted and convoluted, the struggle is real but so is the legacy of Biko and the spirit of Black Consciousness. / MT2018

This study analyzes various forms of visual and textual rhetoric found in popular black-owned print media from 1900-1970, including: beauty product advertisements, magazine cover photography and feature articles in order to contribute to a rhetorical history of color bias within the African-American community. The imagery included here validated and encouraged the transformation and lightening of African-American bodies through what I call embodied mimicry in order to achieve dominance within the racial group and a semblance of acceptance outside of it. Mimicry of white societal standards by African-Americans including: formatting of print media, circulation of beauty ads and physical embodiment of white physical features ultimately re-inscribed the tenets of racism into the black public sphere in the form of colorism. The intention of this research is to analyze the rhetorical history of colorism in order to better understand the current state of colorism in American society. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.A.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2016. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

The target is the knowledge of the argumentative resources and the linguistic resources that construct this argument, applying the principles of the Linguistic Historiography, to know, the Contextualization, the Immanency and of the Adequacy. Always instigated us to know closer the illustrious brazilian, Joaquin Nabuco. In the second half of the century XIX, in full literary bubbling, among others excellent names, Joaquin Nabuco obtained a place of preeminence among his pairs. This detail, and for the fact of his composition not to be divulged as other classics of our language, showed us a singular attention and we went to the search of the elements that had taken him to become an expressive figure at his time. He has written a composition in defense of the slaves emancipation, O abolicionismo, object of this research. To know it better, we considered the following questions that had directed our study: Which were the argumentative and linguistic resources made for the author and, with them, how has the author reached his public, the oitocentista reader? Which was his audience? Has the nabuconeana language followed the linguistic molds of its time? In full movement of freedom which was the language used by him, the classic of Portugal or the Brazilian dialect? Which current literary has he belonged? Can his language be considered out of the time? Guided for these questions, we looked more details in his composition, over all in what concerns to the strategies for him used for the adhesion of his personage, the way he chooses the proves, how he trams the arguments, and the progression to make the hierarchy and how it intensifies during the advance of the chapters of the book. To reach this objective, we follow the three principles considered for Koerner: of the contextualization, where it creates the climate opinion, of the immanency, where it analyzes the corpus on the basis of the classic Rhetoric and the adequacy, where it brings up to date the previous analysis, with bedding in a modern theory, the New Rhetoric. After the analysis, we´ve got the results / O tema de nosso estudo é a argumentação na obra de Joaquim Nabuco, O abolicionismo. Seu escopo é o conhecimento dos recursos argumentativos e dos recursos lingüísticos que constroem essa argumentação, aplicando os princípios da Historiografia Lingüística, a saber, a Contextualização, a Imanência e da Adequação. Sempre nos instigou conhecer mais de perto o ilustre brasileiro, Joaquim Nabuco. Na segunda metade do século XIX, em plena efervescência literária, entre outros nomes relevantes, Joaquim Nabuco conseguiu um lugar de proeminência entre seus pares. Esse detalhe, e pelo fato de sua obra não ser tão divulgada como a de outros clássicos de nossa língua, despertou-nos singular atenção e fomos à busca dos elementos que o levaram a tornar-se uma figura expressiva em sua época. Ele escreveu uma obra em defesa da emancipação dos escravos, O abolicionismo, objeto desta pesquisa. Para melhor conhecê-la, propusemos as seguintes questões que direcionaram nosso estudo: Quais foram os recursos argumentativos e lingüísticos usados pelo autor e, com eles, como teria o escritor atingido seu público alvo, o leitor oitocentista? Qual era seu auditório? A linguagem nabuconeana acompanhou os moldes lingüísticos de sua época? Em pleno movimento de liberdade qual o idioma por ele usado o clássico de Portugal ou o dialeto brasileiro? A que corrente literária pertenceu? Sua linguagem pode ser considerada atemporal? Orientados por essas perguntas, procuramos conhecer com mais detalhes sua obra, sobretudo no que concerne às estratégias por ele empregadas para a adesão do seu interlocutor, à maneira como escolhe as provas, como urde argumentos e a progressão como os hierarquiza e intensifica na proporção que os capítulos avançam. Para atingirmos esse objetivo, seguimos os três princípios propostos por Koerner: o da contextualização, em que se cria o clima de opinião, o da imanência, em que se analisa o corpus com base na Retórica clássica a e o da adequação, em que se atualiza a análise feita, com fundamento em uma teoria moderna, a Nova Retórica. Após a análise, concluímos havermos atingido as metas propostas, conhecemos melhor o processo de criação de Joaquim Nabuco, as técnicas argumentativas usadas, as estratégias de convencimento e comprovamos o caráter de universalidade da obra
