This is an original, serious, three-act play for eleven characters. The drama focuses on a group therapy situation involving three women patients, two men patients, and their therapist. Flashbacks are utilized to provide knowledge of the characters' pasts. Role playing, dream analysis, and behavior modification are some of the tools employed by the counselor. While the therapist does utilize these techniques adequately, his own personal problems prevent him from being as effective as he might be. Consequently, at least two of the characters are propelled to their own destruction, possibly as a result of the therapist's failure. Of course, the possibility does remain that they would have chosen the same paths without the counselor's influence.

M.Mus. Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, 2008 / This report forms part of the output of a research team investigating the phenomenon of overtone singing as practiced by the women of the Ngqoko Women’s Ensemble in the village of Ngqoko outside the town of Lady Frere in the Eastern Cape, South Africa. This essay examines various systems of musical notation in terms of their possible application in the transcription process of overtone singing as found amongst these women. A selection of their music is transcribed using the formulated notational systems and the effectiveness of these systems is compared. A recommendation as to which system of notation is most effective for documenting this type of music is made. Utilising the soundworld of the Ngqoko recordings, an original piece of music is composed as part of this submission.

He contrasts as antithesis to the original project his concept of habitus. Our research follows this Bourdieusian assertion and tests its pertinence. The Sartrian original project starts from a premise of the ontological freedom of the being of which Bourdieu, without affirming it, in our view, uses it to base the influences operated by the field, translated in the habitus. That means: There is more of Sartre in Bourdieu than he may affirms. The conceptual constellation of Pierre Bourdieu transpasses the work of Sartre. / Pierre Bourdieu afirma que o projeto original sartriano ? um mito fundador da cren?a no "criador" incriado. Contrap?e como ant?tese ao projeto original o seu conceito de habitus. Nossa pesquisa acompanha esta assertiva bourdieusiana e testa sua pertin?ncia. O projeto original sartriano parte de uma premissa de liberdade ontol?gica do ser da qual, Bourdieu, sem afirma-la, ao nosso ver, usa-a para fundamentar as influ?ncias operadas pelo campo, traduzidas no habitus. Quer dizer: H? mais de Sartre em Bourdieu do que este afirma. A constela??o conceitual bourdieusiana transpassa a obra de Sartre.

Jishin (earthquake) is a musical composition written for full orchestra, based on a twelve-tone row. The twelve-tone row is structured such that it contains only two musical intervals (perfect 5 th , major 3 rd ). Due to the nature of the row, various transpositions of the row can be used to form what seems to be a never ending cycle of pitches. Throughout the composition the material of the row is fragmented and used motivically to develop larger structures within the whole of the piece. Like an earthquake, Jishin strives to create an enormous amount of tension and aggressive energy. At the end, the moment of strongest tension, the original row is set against itself in retrograde, metaphorically representing the friction caused by plate tectonics.

In chapter 1, I ponder the role of authorship and whether or not an original text can truly exist. Specifically, the claim that Borges has that a copy can be superior to an original. From this, brings me to chapter 2 with the movie Man of la Mancha. In this movie, I highlight some of the pros and cons of a copy. The windmill scene is a negative emanation of the Quixote, while the interaction between people and the presence of women is something the movie truly displays well. In the third chapter, I look at Lost in la Mancha because it demonstrates a failed attempt to translate the Quixote. In essence, anything that tries to represent this truly great text will fail; however, it's failure can paradoxically be thought of as a success because it's an homage to the Quixote. As far as the Ezra Pound material, I thought it extremely pertinent to look at his experience on a metro because he attempts to describe a vision that he had through poetry. He notes that it is very difficult to encapsulate his entire experience because the primary form of art (his vision) is being described through a secondary form (words). Thus, when you translate a form of art through a medium it loses some of its value. This is what happens with the Quixote; its primary form (words) is being displayed through a secondary form (film), and it inevitably loses something in the translation. The final chapter/conclusion is a more in-depth investigation of this investigation primary form of art (writing). This uses the character of Gines as a concrete example of a formal and stylistic quality that is unique to literature. Namely, the physical ranging of words on a page in both a spatial and literary sense. When you extract those lines from a novel you implicitly remove some of the dialectic between Cervantes' work and the genres he's invoking, just by taking it out of the form of literature. The surroundings of text establish the meaning of the novel. The conclusion is my final chance to argue why the Quixote is so special and untranslatable. I touch on the qualities that keep it forever live and present in us today. Through the Quixote's proclivity for renaming the real world (established societal beliefs/values, etc.) in his own vein, Cervantes allows for the Quixote to reappropriate the world around him, making it uniquely his. In so doing, Cervantes creates a character who is able, not only to write his own self-history, but to control the way that said self-history will be written by others. By blurring the lines between narrator and narration and history and fiction, Cervantes creates a work that is endlessly present, where words becoming living page, and actions occur as they are said.

The motor industry is one of the leading industries in the South African economy. The MIDP, an import/export complementary arrangement, was introduced to help reintegrate the motor industry into the global economy. The aim was to improve the international competitiveness of companies in the industry; enhance the industry's growth through exporting; improve vehicle affordability; improve the industry's highly skewed trade balance; and stabilise employment levels, but succeeded in having the unintended consequence of growing vehicle imports. In this study a literature review is done on studies that were done on governments' policy and the South African motor industry and an empirical study done on a critique of the MIDP as a post-apartheid policy instrument. Of the approximate 500 component manufacturers; only 32 manufacturers participated in this study. South Africa may not have a motor industry in seven to ten years if urgent attention is not paid to increasing local content, gaining certainty on government's support programme for the industry and improving South Africa's cost competitiveness. Imports have grown rapidly and the industry has still not achieved a sufficient volume of production to realise full economies of scale. Another constraint is South Africa's location, remote from major automotive markets. After a long period of heavy protection followed by liberalisation and export support, it is now time for the industry to move towards a balanced growth path on the basis of policies which impose a more neutral incentive structure. This would involve some ongoing protection and assistance for production at low to moderate levels. Under such a scenario, both the domestic market and exports could provide the basis for sustained future growth. / Thesis (M.B.A.)--North-West University, Vaal Triangle Campus, 2010.
