Guy Butler’s South Africanism: ‘Being present where you are’

Guy Butler (1918-2001) has been gone some ten years. The institutions he created continue to make vital contributions in South Africa’s efforts to make sense of its own complex cultural and historical make-up. However, despite this evident success, there is little surety that the rationale informing his massive effort to foster processes of artistic and cultural endeavour has been appreciated or accurately understood. This lecture sets out to illuminate the thinking behind Butler’s important contributions to South Africa’s national life.
