Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2001. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Assuming a postmodern perspective, this literature study attempts to address
unprivileged dichotomies in an endeavour to make audible the silence surrounding
women, emotion and anger. In alignment with the postmodern assumptions of
relativity, the tracing of anger involves acknowledging the physiological, social,
intrapersonal, interpersonal, behavioural, cognitive and phenomenological
propensities thereof. In a postmodern attempt to contextualise the discussion and to
trace the relation of women and the female gender stereotype to anger, a selection of
etiological perspectives and theories on anger are viewed within the cultural contexts
thereof. Juxtaposed in a Western culture privileging reason to emotion, individuality
and autonomy to relationship centeredness, a hypothetical understanding of the
association between women and emotion is construed. The gender stereotypical
erasure of anger from the female repertoire is also addressed. Integrating these
assumptions with the possible positive and negative outcomes of anger, a
preliminary understanding of the mechanism of and the silence surrounding women
and anger is offered. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Met 'n postmodernistiese aanslag poog die literatuurstudie om ongepriviligeerde
dichotome aan te spreek en die stilte in die literatuur rondom vroue en woede
hoorbaar te maak. In pas met die postmodernistiese aannames van relatiwiteit,
vereis die beligting van woede erkenning aan die fisiologiese, sosiale, intrapsigiese,
interpersoonlike, kognitiewe en fenomenologiese manifestasies daarvan. In 'n
postmodernistiese poging om die bespreking te kontekstualiseer en om die
verhouding tussen vroue en woede na te speur, is 'n seleksie van etiologiese
perspektiewe en teoriëe oor woede binne die relevante sosio-kulturele konteks
bespreek. Geposioneer in 'n Westerse kultuur, wat rede bo emosie en individualiteit
en outonomie bo verhoudingsgerigtheid stel, is 'n hipotetiese verstaan van die
verhouding tussen vroue en emosie gekonstrueer. Die beperkings wat
geslagsrolstereotipes op vroue se uitdrukking van woede plaas, is ook aangeraak.
Deur die gegewe te integreer met die moontlike positiewe en negatiewe impak van
woede, is 'n voorlopige verstaan daarvan, asook van die stilte rondom vroue en
woede gebied.
