Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis I examine the extent to which interpretations of African material culture play
a role in the creation and visualisation of an ‘African aesthetic style’ in South African
contemporary jewellery practices. My investigation of an ‘African aesthetic style’ in this
thesis is informed by the production, display and writings on African cultural objects. I
demonstrate contemporary jewellery design to derive from a critical methodology,
particularly as it facilitates a renegotiation of the relationship and dialogue between the
producer and viewer of contemporary jewellery objects. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis ondersoek ek die wyse waarop interpretasies van Afrika materiële kultuur
'n rol speel in die skepping en die visualisering van 'n 'Afrika estetiese styl' in Suid-
Afrikaanse kontemporêre juwelierspraktyke. My ondersoek van so 'n styl is ingelig deur
die produksie en uitstalling van, sowel as diskoerse rondom Afrika kulturele objekte. Ek
ondersoek kontemporêre juweliersontwerp as 'n kritiese metodologie, veral ten opsigte
van die wyse waarop dit 'n nuwe verhouding tussen die vervaardiger en toeskouer van
kontemporêre juweliersobjekte fasiliteer.
