  • How the End of the Second Boer War Unified Afrikaner Culture and Led to Afrikaner Political Dominance in South Africa
    The pen for the sword: how the end of the Second Boer War unified Afrikaner culture and led to Afrikaner political dominance in South Africa. by Timothy Evan Thomas Suttle B.A., Kansas State University, 2015 A THESIS submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Approved by: Major Professor Dr. Andrew Orr Copyright © Timothy Suttle Abstract The end of the Second Boer War in 1902 gave rise to cultural and political action of Afrikaners within the colonial governments and among the South African people. These actions caused a rise in Afrikaner cultural and political nationalism. Though the British emerged victorious from the war, resentment for the British Empire was widespread in the South African colonies due to brutalities suffered by the Afrikaners during the war. This resentment would later be channeled by Afrikaner leaders and used as a political weapon. The British wished for appeasement with the Afrikaners and established terms at the end of the war that Afrikaner leaders were able to use to further Afrikaner culture through politics. The military victory for the British influenced many Afrikaners to trade violence for political and cultural means of resistance. Throughout the years 1902-1924 the Afrikaner people established strategies through politics, literary publications, and new political groups, developed in the years 1904-1908, to advocate for Afrikaner nationalism and cultural equality amongst the British in areas of law, commerce, and education. The war showed the futility of military resistance against the British, but inspired many to push for political and cultural resistance, unification, and eventual dominance.

ORANIA AND THE REINVENTION OF AFRIKANERDOM Sylvia Seldon PhD in Social Anthopology The University of Edinburgh 2014 I declare that this thesis is entirely my own work and has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification. ABSTRACT In 1991 a private town for Afrikaners was established on the bank of the Orange River, in the semi-desert of South Africa’s Northern Cape Province. As a deliberately Afrikaans, and thus white, community, the town’s aims and existence are controversial, but both its principles and practicalities are not unique. Endeavouring to build an Afrikaner homeland in multiracial South Africa seems incongruous, signalling a retreat from social heterogeneity as a fact of the contemporary world. It raises questions about what people do following a social, political and economic paradigm shift, and about what is occurring within a country with multiple and contradictory accounts of history and a traumatic recent past.

They also share a concern with the relations between the state and Khoisan peoples. Both employ the perspective of regional comparison that has been a major part of most of my studies of Khoisan peoples, but in both cases the structuralist aspects of my earlier work have been softened in favour of a more complex interpretive understanding that stresses both similarities and differences among Khoisan groups. The first, my professorial Inaugural Lecture, emphasizes the use of Khoisan imagery by the South African state and others in the construction of a new South African national identity based on universal rather than racial principles.

  • Flagging the “New” South Africa, 1910–2010
    Historia 56, 1, Mei/May 2011, pp 42–62 Flagging the “new” South Africa, 1910–2010 Frederick Gordon Brownell * It has been said that history is something that never happend (sic), written by a man who was not there. The present study is an effort to relate what did happen by one who was there.1 Introduction Over the past century, distinctive flags have been devised for and adopted by South Africa on three occasions. These were progressive steps and in each instance the flags addressed both a current need in the constitutional development of South Africa, and marked a key milestone in the country’s flag history. The first of these came soon after Union in 1910 and followed a standard pattern applied throughout the British Empire. The second saw the hoisting in 1928 of a distinctive national flag, in recognition of South Africa’s independent status. At this time there were a few independent states in Africa, but within three decades, on a rising tide of African nationalism, this situation began changing. In sub-Saharan Africa, Ghana set the ball rolling in 1957, followed by Guinea a year later.2 The floodgates opened in 1960, when an unprecedented eighteen African countries gained independence, each of them under a new national flag. It was also the year in which the British prime minister, Harold McMillan, delivered his “winds of change” address to the South African parliament on 3 February. Three decades later, almost to the day, President F.W. de Klerk announced at the opening of parliament that political detainees would be released, and hitherto banned political organisations would henceforth be free to participate in the search for an equitable dispensation for all South Africans.

  • Heraldry in Natal
    15 Heraldry In Natal (The Natal Society's Annual Lecture delivered by the State Herald, Frederick Gordon Brownell, on Friday 27 March 1987) Those of you who watched the recent television series Shaka Zulu will no doubt remember seeing the British Union Flag, better known as the Union Jack, fluttering over Lieutenant Francis Farewell's little settlement at Port Natal. Since Farewell was an officer in the Royal Navy, 'showing the flag' in foreign parts would have been second nature to him. Flags are an integral part of heraldry and the Union Jack, which is in itself a combination of three flags, based on the reputed arms of the patron saints of England, Scotland and Ireland, was thus the first heraldic representation to have been used in Natal. Apart from the Republic of Natalia interlude (1839 - 1842), the Union Jack has in fact flown over Natal in one form or another since 1824. This may sound strange since South Africa has been a republic for the past quarter of a century, but one must bear in mind that it is still an integral part of our national flag. The Union Jack of course also appears in shield form charged on the shoulder of the dexter supporter to the arms of the City of Pietermaritzburg, while the sinister supporter is charged with the flag of the Republic of Natalia, also in shield form. The fact that the short-lived Republic of Natalia also had a flag of its own was not widely known and it took considerable research to determine what the design of that flag had been.

It follows logically from this that cinema is not the name of an art: it is the name of the world” Jacques Ranciere, Film Fables (2006:109). 2. “[T]he master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house” Audre Lorde (quoted in Rodness 2014:64) 3. “The objects of the commodity world of capitalism … shed their independent ‘being’ and intrinsic qualities and come to be so many instruments of commodity satisfaction” Fredric Jameson (1979:131) ii ABSTRACT This thesis develops a conceptual and theoretical framework within which to position contemporary Afrikaans cinema as a cinema of political impotence. Afrikaans cinema is first located within the tensions of democratic post-transitional South African society and linked to the identity politics of being identified as ‘Afrikaner’ or ‘Afrikaans speaking’. The thesis provides a critical overview of film scholar Thomas Elsaesser’s studies of (New) German Cinema and Hollywood, identifying key notions such as double occupancy to inform the study’s vocabulary, and discussing how certain cultures have responded to traumatic events in which they were complicit.

  • Self-Evaluation Report
    SELF-EVALUATION REPORT Benchmarking Visitation: October 2018 Document version: 1.1 Date: 26th September 2018 Prepared by: Brian K. Williams Enrico M. Jacobs Foreword by the chairman It is a good thing to take some time to investigate if the course you are following is still pointing towards the direction you set out. It is a good thing to find out if the travelling companions are still on board, and that they are keeping up. It is a good thing to see if the results achieved are real and tangible and of a high standard. Every five years, Belgium Campus iTversity organises a self-evaluation and an international benchmark exercise to find out if the evolution of the institution is reflecting the development in education, research and development and community engagement we are aiming for. It is part of our quality management and PDCA cycle, to find out if we are still on course, recognise the trends that will lead to new changes, and find out if we are able to offer what is needed, in form, content and delivery. The benchmarking is done in cooperation with strategic international partners. While we are fully engaged to live up to the realities and demands in South Africa, and align our operations accordingly, we need to establish the fact that we reach international standards. After all, BC iTversity as an academic institution connects the local to the global. An international quality benchmark for us is to find out if we are still true to our values, our vision and mission, expressed in the specific goals we have set.
