Verwonding, verwoording en verwerking : ʼn beskouing van Henning J. Pieterse se kortverhaalbundel Omdat ons alles is vanuit ʼn terapeutiese perspektiefBezuidenhout, Suzanne-Louise 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA (Afrikaans and Dutch))—University of Stellenbosch, 2009. / When reading Henning J. Pieterse’s work the reader is confronted by a
sombre central theme, that of loss. Loss manifests itself in different ways in
his oeuvre, but the most notable forms of loss are as result of the ending of a
love affair or death. A second noticeable theme in Pieterse’s work is art and
artistry, specifically the creative writing process.
In my opinion these themes are most evident in his 1998 collection of short
stories Omdat ons alles is (Because we are everything). The main premise in
this collection of short stories is the suicide of the beloved wife and the
accompanying feelings of loss and grief. The male characters in these stories
struggle with processing and accepting loss - loss due the suicide of a
beloved wife or due to the ending of a relationship. Various attempts are
made to forget the loss and to numb the pain. The characters turn to alcohol,
drugs and sex as ways of trying to work through or process the loss, but these
methods only bring temporary relief. These self-destructive methods op
escapism are contrasted with the constructive act of writing. At the same time
the journey to psychic recovery and the processing of trauma becomes a
creative journey. By expressing trauma through writing about wounding
experiences there is striven to process it. The processing of trauma by means
of literary narratives is often extremely exhausting and distressing. In the act
of writing about trauma, painful memories that are repressed in the psyche
are brought to the surface.
In this thesis Omdat ons alles is is viewed from a therapeutic perspective to
establish whether the act of writing plays a part in the processing of trauma.
Narrative therapy is concerned with the finding of words and language to
communicate trauma by creating a story in which the meaning and coherence
that trauma destroys, can be recaptured. Trauma destroys the meaning and
coherence of a life story and leaves the individual powerless and confused,
but by finding words to communicate trauma, there is a positive movement in
the direction of dealing with and accepting loss. In Omdat ons alles is Pieterse
maps the journey of working through loss and trauma, but in these stories it is
also emphasised that this journey is by no means a joyride. In the end it
seems that the act of writing does play a part in the processing of trauma, but
to which extent, remains an open question.

Prediking aan die jeug in 'n eietydse situasie / Preaching to the youth in a contemporary situationVan Wyk, Richard Peter 06 1900 (has links)
Text in Afrikaans / Preaching is the proclamation of God's Word. This proclamation has an aim - the listeners of the Word. There was a dynamic change in the study field of the homilectics in the sense of a shifting from an one-sided kerugmatic approach to a dialogical approach. According to this approach the preacher no longer preaches without studying the recipients of the message. This model puts the emphasis on the preacher trying his utmost to get to know the contexts of his listeners. In the case of this thesis the contexts of the youth have been studied through the empirical research.
During 1991 Prof. J.A. van den Ven and Prof H.J.C. Pieterse expected that there would be new problems awaiting the church in the new dispensation. They believed that, with the change in state and politics, the religious and moral values of the youth would be under pressure. Because, from now on, our children would be in the centre of values regarding ethnically and culturally integrated schools, they decided to launch a scientific study to determine whether their expectations were justified or not. In October 1991 they became partners in a project called: "Moral and Religious Values of the Youth of South Africa". The empirical study is a longitudinal study with a first data collection in 1995/1996, a second in 2000 and a third in 2005. The first collection of data was incorporated into this thesis.
When preaching to the youth it is of utmost importance to take listeners (the youth) as strating point in the exegetical work, without neglecting the Biblical text. Practically speaking it is then necessary to pay attention to the following topics: (1) For the understanding and formulating of the message of the Scripture, modern critical hermeneutics are of the greatest importance. (2) A new practical theory for preaching to the youth is essential. In such a theory the following are important: generational differentiation, visual presentations, musical identification and relationship based preaching. (3) The dialogical communication theory is also of great importance and has dialogue before, during and after the preaching in mind. (4) The researcher proposes that the communication theory of Habermas should be dealt with as a means to help dispose of any generational conflict. / Practical Theology / D. Th. (Practical Theology)

Begrens én onbegrens : intertekstualiteit in die oeuvre van H.J. Pieterse / Ihette JacobsJacobs, Ihette January 2010 (has links)
This dissertation attempts to investigate the intertextual modus operandi in the oeuvre of H.J. Pieterse, with specific focus on his volumes, Alruin (1989) and Die burg van hertog Bloubaard (2000). The overarching purpose of the investigation is to prove that the author not only uses intertextuality in the sense that one text (literary text) refers to another text (literary and non–literary), or that one text influences another. Pieterse engages in conversation with other texts and re–writes these texts by repositioning them in another context and by adding additional metaphoric meaning to them. The author allows these texts to exchange conversation, to mutually influence one another, and this has as a result that, in his poems, his poetry and his oeuvre, metaphoric lines come into being, which lend a layered meaning to these texts and enrich the possibilities of their interpretation. Thus, a play on multiple meaning develops, which moves between texts: written texts, literary texts, non–literary texts, the author, the reader and the context(s). The conclusion to which this dissertation comes, is that the above mentioned manifestations of meanings, which exist and come into existence within the physically confines of the text, expand this text to a less confined existence in terms of meaning, more unlimited and unbound than what is necessarily allowed by the physically confined nature of the written text. The question thus arises of how the physically limited text take possession of and draws into the texts what lies beyond its physical confines to produce meaning, and how this tension around the limits of the literary text is functionally used. Consequentially, the question that follows is how this happens in the oeuvre of H.J. Pieterse and how the author uses his poetic technique to go beyond the confines of the written text. / Thesis (M.A. (Afrikaans and Dutch))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.
