M.A. / Although critics have acknowledged the work of Wilma Stockenstrom and have responded favourably, and although she has received four awards and prizes for her poetry up to the publication of Monsterverse, no all-embracing study of her poetry has been undertaken. Many of the reviews and critical analyses have failed to give proper recognition to her first two volumes of poetry. Consequently the process of development in her work has been largely overlooked, and Monsterverse, although acclaimed, has been assessed as "problematic" and totally "foreign". This study therefore attempts to determine the tendencies which figure in Wilma Stockenstrom's poetry, and examines in particular the iconicity of thematics and prosody as it has developed throughout successive volumes. Most of the themes developed in the later volumes are introduced in her debut work, Vir die Bysiende Leser. Some of the themes explored in this volume, however, lose their significance in later volumes. Although the prosody is still somewhat uncertain in some of the poems, a few poems already suggest her unique and individualistic application of this aspect of style. In this early work it is already apparent that her real power lies in the writing of free verse. She exploits this verse form with rich variety throughout her four volumes. Vir die Bysiende Leser clearly functions as a unit. The intratextuality of the poems is a striking structural aspect of. this work. Unity is also emphasized in the following three volumes, but progressively more attention is given to intertextuality. Stockenstrom's work clearly links up with the intertextual tradition which N. P. van Wyk Louw's Tristia and D.J. Opperman's Komas uit n Bamboesstok have established in Afrikaans literature.

Angesichts der Brisanz des Themas Wissensmanagement für den Bereich der Bahnsicherungstechnik aufgrund der Gefahr des Wissensverlustes im Zuge des demografischen Wandels beschäftigt sich die vorliegende Dissertation mit der Konzeptionierung eines unterstützenden Systems dafür. Es werden strukturelle Mindestanforderungen als Erfolgsvoraussetzung hergeleitet und entsprechende Handlungsempfehlungen abgeleitet. Die Arbeit verdeutlicht den großen Stellenwert des Menschen, denn ohne ihn und dessen Akzeptanz des Systems sowie Motivation, sich zu beteiligen, wird es trotz aller technischer und organisatorischer Maßnahmen zum Verlust seiner bis dahin nicht erfassten, für andere verständlich aufbereiteten und teilbaren Erfahrungen kommen. Wie die Vorgehensweise bezüglich solch einer Wissensmobilisierung aussehen kann, zeigt diese Arbeit. Eine Strategie zur flächendeckenden Einführung von entsprechenden Wissensmanagementmaßnahmen mit Schwerpunkt des Einsatzes einer informationstechnisch unterstützten Plattform sowie der Ansatz einer Wirtschaftlichkeitsbetrachtung runden die Ausführungen ab.

In 2017 a 17-year-old girl called Wilma Andersson went missing in the Swedish town Uddevalla. A few weeks later the police made a discovery that confirmed that she was dead. Her former boyfriend Tishko Ahmed was prosecuted and convicted for her murder and sentenced to 18 years in prison. The murder of Wilma Andersson is a murder case that touched a lot of people and was very big in Swedish news media. This study ́s purpose was to investigate how tabloidization effect crime journalism. Four research questions were asked in order to investigate this. The questions were: 1. How is Wilma Andersson framed in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter? 2. How is Tishko Ahmed framed in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter? 3. What similarities and differences are there in how Wilma Andersson and Tishko Ahmed are framed in Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter? 3a. How does tabloidization effect the framing and the crime journalism? The results of this study show that Wilma Andersson is framed as an innocent, kind and orderly girl by the tabloid paper Aftonbladet. The findings also show that Aftonbladet framed the perpetrator, Tishko Ahmed, in several ways. He is framed as a normal guy that no one thought would be capable of murder, but he is also framed as a violent boyfriend and mentally unstable. The broad sheet paper, Dagens Nyheter, framed Wilma Andersson as a vulnerable girl who had a difficult life situation and the perpetrator Tishko was framed as mentally unstable and unreliable. The result of the study show that the tabloid newspaper framed the victim and perpetrator in a more personal and dramatic way by using writing technique and personal sources. The tabloid newspaper also used pictures more than the broad sheet, which empathized the dramatic and personal framing. The findings in this study show that tabloidization effect crime journalism by making it more dramatic and entertaining in order to attract readers and make money.

The aim of this study was to examine how two different newspapers covered the disappearance and murder of Wilma Andersson. The research questions were: How are the victim and perpetrator portrayed? What differences and similarities can we see in national news media versus local news media, and how did the image of the victim and perpetrator change over the course of the coverage?   The method used was critical discourse analyses of 14 articles in the local newspaper Bohusläningen and the national tabloid Aftonbladet. By analysing the assigned characteristics from each source, it was determined that the victim, Wilma Andersson, was portrayed to the reader as a young and innocent girl. She was described as caring, responsible and ambitious. She was depicted as a girl with a bright future and love of life. The local newspaper labeled her as a part of the community, while the national tabloid focused on describing her character through family members. The perpetrator, Tishko Ahmed, was portrayed as a cold and sinister man who was indifferent to Wilma Andersson’s disappearance and death. However, early on in the national tabloid’s coverage he was also described as an everyday man. The local newspaper was more prone to cover the story in a neutral manner, while the national tabloid dramatized the event to a greater extent. Our study shows that the geographical distance between the newspaper and the place of the crime scene is the main factor in the differences between the portrayals of the people involved. The closer the newspaper is to the crime scene, the closer they are to people who knew the victim and perpetrator. This results in the newspaper being more cautious in how they cover the story.

Dissertation (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2000. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of using a postmodern reading strategy for Afrikaans poetry, in particular that type of poetry which, following Linda Hutcheon, I will call historiographic metapoetry. The investigation consists of four phases. Firstly, in order to implement Hutcheon's model, cognisance will be taken of the theory of postmodernism (chapters 1- 3), particularly with regard to poetry, since the latter is apparently a marginalised genre in this theorisation. The second phase of the investigation encompasses a discussion of the discourse on postmodernism and poetry in America, the NetherlandsIFlanders and in Afrikaans (chapters 4-6, respectively). Attention is given to matters such as the developmental history of postmodernism, theorising on postmodern poetry and the practice of anthologising. The third phase bridges the gap between research on postmodernism and that on historiographic metapoetry (chapter 7). The focus will be on Pirow Bekker's poem "Apollo Smintheus", with specific attention being given to the representation of the event (the journey of Jonas de la Guerre into the hinterland in 1664) in the journal texts and other historiographic sources. Hutcheon's distinction between event and fact will also be adopted in the analysis. The last phase of this study is an application of Hutcheon's model to Wilma Stockenstrëm's poem, Die heengaanrefrein, a self-reflexive text on the arrival of the Huguenots in South Africa in 1688 (chapters 8-12). As an introduction to the discussion of the text, the problematising of various types of borders in the poem is examined. This is followed by an analysis of extracts from Die heengaanrefrein with reference to four matters that are, according to Hutcheon, central to postmodern theory and practice. These are: intertextuality, parody and the discourses of history; the problem of reference; the subject and the representation of subjectivity; and lastly ideological implications and political double-coding. The discussion of Die heengaanrefrein is supplemented with shorter discussions of other texts, for example, George H. Weideman's "Kieselguhr-kleim", two short poems from Breyten Breytenbach's Soos die so and P.J. Philander's poems "Die klippe praat" and "Genesis". In Chapter 13, the final chapter, the findings are summarised and Hutcheon's model is evaluated. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doelstelling met hierdie studie is 'n ondersoek na die moontlikheid om 'n postmodernistiese leesbenadering aan te wend by die lees van die Afrikaanse poësie, in die besonder daardie soort gedigte wat ek na aanleiding van Linda Hutcheon historiografiese metapoësie wil noem. Die ondersoek bestaan uit vier fases. Ten einde Hutcheon se model te implementeer, word daar eerstens bestek geneem van die teoretisering oor die postmodernisme (hoofstukke 1-3), veral wat die poësie betref, aangesien laasgenoemde 'n gemarginaliseerde genre in hierdie teoretisering blyk te wees. Die tweede fase van die ondersoek omvat 'n bespreking van die diskoers oor postmodernisme en poësie in onderskeidelik Amerika, NederlandIVlaandere en Afrikaans (hoofstukke 4-6). Sake wat aandag geniet, is die ontwikkelingsgeskiedenis van die postmodernisme, die teoretisering oor postmodernistiese poësie en die antologiseringspraktyk. Die derde fase is 'n oorbrugging tussen die navorsing oor die postmodernisme en dié oor historiografiese metapoësie (hoofstuk 7). Pirow Bekker se gedig "Apollo Smintheus" kom onder die soeklig, met spesifieke aandag aan die representasie van die gebeurtenis (die sogenaamde landsreis van Jonas de la Guerre in 1664 die binneland in) in die joernaaltekste en ander historiografiese bronne; Hutcheon se onderskeid tussen event en fact word ook betrek. Die laaste fase van die studie is 'n toepassing van Hutcheon se modelop Wilma Stockenstrom se gedig Die heengaanrefrein, 'n selfbesinnende teks oor die koms. van die Hugenote na Suid-Afrika in 1688 (hoofstukke 8-12). Ter inleiding van die teksbespreking word die problematisering van verskillende soorte grense in die gedig nagegaan. Dit word gevolg deur analises van fragmente uit Die heengaanrefrein na aanleiding van vier kwessies wat volgens Hutcheon sentraal staan in die postmodernistiese teorie en praktyk. Hierdie sake is: intertekstualiteit, parodie en die diskoerse van die geskiedenis; die problematiek van referensialiteit; die subjek en die representasie van subjektiwiteit; en ideologiese implikasies en politieke dubbelkodering. In die loop van die studie word die bespreking van Die heengaanrefrein aangevul met korter besprekings van ander tekste, soos byvoorbeeld George H. Weideman se "Kieselguhr-kleim", twee gedigte uit Breyten Breytenbach se Soos die so en P.J. Philander se gedigte "Die klippe praat" en "Genesis". Inhoofstuk 13, die sluitstuk, word die bevindinge saamgevat en Hutcheon se model beoordeel.

First, the symbolic dimension of politics and some of the elements that make up this universe, as the scenario, the representation, the myth, the spectacle, the media and the political and electoral marketing. We assume that the policy brings together a set of traits related to both reason and the human subjectivity, and can not be summed up in just a few calculations based on rationality. In the case of elections, in a process (ritual, according Irlys Barrier) of choice, there is a meeting of two systems of representations: to that transmitted by a political actor, in a scene from a particular context, based on a life trajectory unique, and the other from the public, crossed by social relations, situations own wishes, desires, expectations and unique perspectives. Between them there are the means of mass media (especially television), and with them the advent of language media and advertising applied to politics, changing the layout of public visibility and inaugurating what Rejane Accioly Carvalho will call the "aesthetics of mostrabilidade". This does not necessarily mean a preponderance of media on politics as a whole but only its adaptation to that with regard to contact with the public, the ad extra portion of the policy, according to Wilson Gomes. In a second aspect, try to apply these elements to a specific study to verify them in building an effective public image, in this case, the current governor of Rio Grande do Norte, Wilma de Faria. The concept of public image is from the book of Wilson Gomes The transformation was visible in the mass media, and relates to a conceptual image to fix "personality traits" through political history, personal conduct, action of image makers and the public reception. For this we will review some videos aired on Free Time for political propaganda in the years 2002 and 2006. / Este trabalho examina dois aspectos. Primeiro, a dimens?o simb?lica da pol?tica e alguns dos elementos que formam este universo, como a encena??o, a representa??o, o mito, o espet?culo, a m?dia e o marketing pol?tico e eleitoral. Partimos do princ?pio de que a pol?tica agrega um conjunto de tra?os relacionados tanto ? raz?o quanto ? subjetividade humanas, e que n?o pode ser resumida a apenas alguns c?lculos baseados na racionalidade. No caso das elei??es, em um processo (ritual?stico, segundo Irlys Barreira) de escolha, h? o encontro de dois sistemas de representa??es: ?quele transmitido pelo ator pol?tico, em certo cen?rio, a partir de determinado contexto, baseado em uma trajet?ria de vida ?nica; e o outro proveniente do p?blico, atravessado pelas rela??es sociais, conjunturas pr?prias, anseios, desejos, expectativas e perspectivas singulares. Entre ambos aparecem os meios de comunica??o de massa (principalmente a televis?o), e com eles o advento da linguagem midi?tica e publicit?ria aplicada ? pol?tica, alterando o esquema de visibilidade p?blica e inaugurando aquilo que Rejane Accioly Carvalho vai chamar de est?tica da mostrabilidade , o que n?o necessariamente significa uma preponder?ncia da m?dia sobre a pol?tica em seu todo, mas apenas a adapta??o desta ?quela no que diz respeito ao contato com o p?blico, a por??o ad extra da pol?tica, de acordo com Wilson Gomes. Em um segundo aspecto, tentaremos aplicar estes elementos a um estudo espec?fico no sentido de verific?-los na constru??o efetiva de uma imagem p?blica, no caso, da atual governadora do Rio Grande do Norte, Wilma de Faria. O conceito de imagem p?blica ser? retirado do livro de Wilson Gomes A transforma??o da visibilidade na era da comunica??o de massa, e diz respeito a uma imagem conceitual no sentido de fixar tra?os de personalidade por meio da trajet?ria pol?tica, da conduta pessoal, da a??o dos image makers e da recep??o do p?blico. Para isso faremos uma an?lise de alguns v?deos levados ao ar no Hor?rio Gratuito de Propaganda Eleitoral nos anos de 2002 e 2006.

This thesis explores the thematic desire to establish an ecological human bond with nature in four contemporary novels: The English Patient by Michael Ondaatje, The Hungry Tide by Amitav Ghosh, An Imaginary Life by David Malouf, and The Expedition to The Baobab Tree by Wilma Stockenström. These authors share a concern with the influence that language has on human perception, and one of the most significant ways they attempt to connect with the natural world is through somehow escaping, or transcending, what they perceive to be the divisive tendencies of language. They all suggest that human perception is not steered entirely by a disembodied mind, which constructs reality through linguistic and cultural lenses, but is equally influenced by physical circumstances and embodied experiences. They explore the potential of corporeal reciprocity and empathy as that which enables understanding across cultural barriers, and a sense of ecologically intertwined kinship with nature. They all struggle to reconcile their awareness of the potential danger of relating to nature exclusively through language, with a desire to speak for the natural world in literature. I have examined whether they succeed in doing so, or whether they contradict their thematic suspicion of language with their literary medium. I have prioritised a close ecocritical reading of the novels and loosely situated the authors’ approach to nature and language within the broad theoretical frameworks of radical ecology, structuralism and poststructuralism. I suggest that these novels are best analysed in the context of an ecocritical mediation between poststructuralist conceptions of nature as inaccessible cultural construct, and the naïve conception of unmediated, pre-reflective interaction with the natural world. I draw especially on the phenomenological theories of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, whose insistence that perception is always both embodied and culturally mediated truly renders culture and nature irreducible, intertwined categories. By challenging historical dualisms like mind/body and culture/nature, the selected novels suggest a more fluid and discursive understanding of the perceived conflict between language and nature, whilst problematizing the perception of language as merely a cultural artefact. Moreover, they are examples of the kind of literature that has the potential to positively influence our human conception of nature, and adapt us better to our ecological context on a planet struggling for survival.

This study examines the difference in Expressen’s portrayal of two similar murder cases in Sweden with the key difference being the ethnicity of the perpetrators. The main purpose is to determine if the media is using a discriminatory rhetoric in their covering of crime and if they are upholding a “we and them” view of the world. Former research shows signs of othering in the media around discourse of crime and immigrants and discusses medias’ cementing of a post-colonial worldview. This study uses framing theory and othering theory as a theoretical framework and is conducted through a quantitative content analysis of the written articles, about the murder cases of Wilma Andersson and Tova Moberg, across the time period of them going missing, to the point where the murderer is sentenced. The results show no signs of othering or discrimination in the Expressen articles and both the perpetrators and victims are framed equally in almost every aspect. Furthermore there is no significant connection between the sources cited and the framing in those articles, which could indicate an awareness in Expressens news process and how they influence the public.
