M.A. (English) / Much scholarship dealing with works belonging to Athol Fugard's first decade as a writer does so distortedly or inadequately. This study traces and evaluates Fugard's formative and underexplored first decade, which has only recently become available in its entirety for scrutiny, by means of a systematic study of themes and the evolution of narrative and theatrical techniques, and, in some aspects, relates it to works of later phases which fall beyond the scope of this study...

D.Phil. (African Languages) / This study examines the works of one of the most gifted writers of Sesotho, Sophonia Machabe Mofokeng. He wrote SENKATANA, a drama, LEETONG, a collection of short stories and PELONG VA KA, a volume of essays. In this work we trace the link between his writings and his real lived life because we have a hunch that his works are autobiographical. Our informants about his real lived life are his family, friends and associates. In our analysis we are guided by the principles and conditions of autobiography. Our emphasis is on the elements of autobiography as presented by Howarth (1980) namely, character, technique and theme. We do find that a link exists between the characters in the books written by Mofokeng, and Mofokeng himself. For instance, we do see through the characters Mofokeng the poor man, the achiever, the selfless person, the leader, the teacher, the oppressed man and so on. Secondly, through his style, we are able to see a portrayal of himself. He succeeds to do this because as he establishes his past he is at the same time revealing himself to us readers. This goes along with Starobinski's declaration that every autobiography is a self-revelation. Lastly, through his themes, we get to know what Mofokeng's aspirations and visions were. We learn for instance that he longed for freedom, was against evil, was full of hope, was a staunch christian and wished that all should live their lives in full.

M.A. (Greek) / This text is divided into two basic parts. The first part gives an account of the function of the Platonic dialogue, how the dialogue attempts to fulfil this function, and consequently, how it should be read. The core idea is that the Platonic dialogue aims to be transformative, not informative; it aims to bring about an ethical reorientation of the reader rather than his acceptance of certain philosophical doctrines. The second part is a commentary on Plato’s Meno. It attempts to enact the account of the Platonic dialogue given in the first part. The proper way to engage with a Platonic dialogue is to become a commentator, to participate in the discussion, to use the discourse as a lever of philosophical learning and self-understanding

Postmodern theorising has presented the reader as an active agent in the process of the interpretation of texts. Sociology of knowledge approaches have identified both the author and the reader of texts as socially embodied within a context. This study presents a unique collection of readings in the Gospel of Luke by ordinary real-readers from a disadvantaged and/or marginalised social and ecclesial location, within an affluent first world context. These readings, transcribed in Volume Two, present empirical reader research for analysis, through dialogue and conversation with professional readings in the Gospel of Luke, in order to assess what contribution the former might make to contemporary hermeneutics. Identifying contemporary human experience of ordinary real-readers as the starting point in their reading of the Lukan text, the study illustrates how these readings act as a useful tool of suspicion in conversation with readings that claim to be objective and value-neutral, and how they facilitate critical reflection on the ideological and theological commitments of the dominant classes in society and church. The value and legitimacy of the readings of ordinary real-readers is discussed, and how their social and ecclesial marginalisation and disadvantage provides a nontotalising presence in biblical interpretation, a presence that guards against the claims of permanence made by those in the academic and ecclesial world. Identification of contemporary human experience as inevitably influencing the process of interpretation leads to a consideration of the place of the historical critical paradigm in biblical studies. The value and legitimacy of ordinary real readers as active agents in the process of interpretation, and the contribution they make to contemporary hermeneutics, requires a consideration of safeguards against reading anarchy. The process of self and social analysis, and an openness to dialogue and conversation with those outside our own contexts, including our ancestors in the faith, is considered as a way forward, utilising ordinary and professional real-readers in the ongoing process of biblical interpretation.
