Date: March 2017 Copyright © 2017 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis examines the representation of childhood and youth in South African coming-of- age narratives set in the apartheid and post-apartheid eras. Although child and youth protagonists feature prominently in many South African literary texts, the trope of childhood has yet to be systematically and extensively examined by scholars. Thus, this research attempts to address this gap by surveying a wide-ranging selection of childhood narratives using a modified version of Franco Moretti‟s concept of „distant reading‟. The objective is to map something of the field of childhood and youth in South African texts in order to open it up to various analytical possibilities, hence making a useful contribution to this growing body of research. Indeed, one of the most important contributions of this thesis is the accompanying appendix, which comprises a list of two hundred and forty-five South African texts that feature the theme of childhood to varying degrees. Throughout this study, I approach childhood itself as a critical frame and locus of concern, rather than as a subsidiary trope or lens through which other themes and concepts are highlighted and thus take precedence. In order for this type of comprehensive analysis of childhood and youth to emerge, I investigate and interrogate five main binary oppositions (victim/perpetrator, child/adult, domestic/political, agency/powerlessness, and identity/ difference) that govern notions of childhood. These binaries form a major part of the analysis of apartheid and post-apartheid childhood texts in Chapters Two and Three respectively. One of the central arguments of this study is that despite the paradigmatically severed depictions of childhood that exist side by side (due to apartheid policies of segregation), childhood is nonetheless represented as a „site of struggle‟ regardless of the race, culture, or economic class of the young protagonist. I maintain that these „sites of struggle‟, which are often located within the aforementioned binaries, extend into the post-apartheid era, thus dissolving the utopian vision of a „rainbow nation‟ and a „new‟ South Africa. iii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Opsomming Hierdie tesis ondersoek die manier waarop kinders en die jeug se volwassewording- vertellings in die tydperke van apartheid en na-apartheid uitgebeeld word. Alhoewel jeugdige en kinder-protagoniste prominent voorkom in talle Suid-Afrikaanse tekste, is daar tot nog toe nie ‟n sistematiese en uitvoerige bespreking van dié gebied gedoen nie. Daarom be-oog my navorsing om hierdie leemte te vul deur ‟n wye verskeidenheid kinder-narratiewe met behulp van ‟n aanpassing van Franco Moretti se se konsep van “afstand-lees” te gebruik. Die doelstelling is om ‟n riglyn te skep wat verskillende analitiese benaderings ten opsigte van jeuglektuur sal voorstel en om sodoende ‟n nuttige bydrae tot hierdie groeiende studieveld te lewer. Dit beteken dat die meegaande aanhangsel die belangrikste bydrae tot hierde tesis kan wees, aangesien dit bestaan uit ‟n lys van tweehonderd-vyf-en-veertig Suid-Afrikaanse tekste wat tematies in wisselende mate op kinderjare gefokus is. Ek benader deurgaans die kinderjare self as ‟n kritiese raamwerk en uitgangsplek, eerder as ‟n ondergeskikte besprekingsveld en lens wat ander temas en konsepte uitlig wat dan voorkeur geniet. Om ‟n omvattende analise van kinder- en jeugjare daar te stel, het ek vyf binêre teenoorgesteldes wat ‟n rol speel in beskouings van kinderjare ondersoek, naamlik slagoffer/aandadige, kind/volwassene, huishoudelik/polities, bemagtiging/ontmagtiging, identiteit/identiteitsverksille. Hierdie binêre speel veral ‟n groot rol in die analise van apartheid- en na-apartheid kinderlektuur, onderskeidelik in Hoofstuk Twee en Drie. Een van die sentrale argumente van hierdie studie is dat, ten spyte van onversoenbare beskouings van kinderjare wat naas mekaar bestaan, word kinderjare nogtans voorgestel as ‟n plek van verset, ongeag die ras, kultuur of ekonomiese stand van die protagonis. Dit is my mening dat hierdie versetvelde wat dikwels binne die gemelde binêre bestaan, oorvloei na die na-apartheid era en daardeur die utopiese visie van ‟n „reënboognasie‟ en „n „nuwe‟ Suid-Afrika negeer. iv Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Acknowledgements This thesis has been my constant companion (for better or worse!) over the past few years and there have been many people who have supported and encouraged me along the way, without whom I would not be where I am today. Thus, I would like to extend my sincerest gratitude to the following people: Dr Daniel Roux, my supervisor, for his invaluable guidance, brilliant insight, and ceaseless patience. Thank you for not giving up on me and for your flexibility as I set off on an adventure on the other side of the world. I could not have accomplished this without your support. Brett, Helena, Matthew, Jessie, Vicky-Lee, and Cole Patterson, my parents and siblings, for believing in me and encouraging me every step of the way. Thank you for your love, prayers, phone calls, emails, and those thoughtful surprise parcels and flowers. Thank you for always being there for me when I was in the depths of „thesis-despair‟ and for speaking truth to my doubtful heart. Special thanks goes to Jess for helping me with the practicalities of the final submission. Cap, Gryf, and Mini for being the best „thesis-cheerleaders‟. Thank you for providing much needed respite and for making sure that I still had a social life. Now, finally, I can edit our holiday photos and soon provide you all with new profile pictures. Promise! Annie and Sara, my PT girls, for enduring so many woeful conversations about my thesis and for constant laughs, encouragement, and prayers. It has meant the world to me, so thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you to the many friends who have supported me in big and small ways. There are too many to name, but I would like to especially thank Micaela (for kindly checking up on me and for invaluable advice and encouragement), Amanda (for answering countless questions and for reassuring me that it can be done – you are a delight, my friend!), Kathi (what a heart-warming surprise that parcel from Germany was!), Quin, Maleni, and the kids (for welcoming me into your family and being a safe place during a long thesis stretch – and for many a delicious meal!), Candido and family (for allowing me to use your holiday home for a thesis break/marathon), Laura (for giving me time off work during a busy period), Sarah (for your wise counsel, listening ear, kindness, and prayers), the Grant family (you are my favourites), my housemates (for being so kind and gracious as I burned the midnight oil night v Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za after night), and my homegroup and church family (for accepting me, loving me, and calling me to live courageously). Rita Barnard for conducting an amazing thesis-writing workshop that I was privileged enough to attend. Thank you for telling me that I am not my thesis and that I will finish unless I stop. Those (and many more) nuggets of wisdom have stayed with me and have kept me sane throughout this journey. This research would not have been possible without the financial assistance that I received in the form of a Postgraduate Merit Bursary from Stellenbosch University and a Harry Crossley Scholarship. Thank you, I am deeply grateful. Lastly, but most importantly, thank You to my heavenly Father for His unfailing love, endless mercy, and great faithfulness. Thank You Jesus for being my strength when I am weak, my solid rock when I am faltering, my anchor when life is stormy, a haven of peace in the chaos, and my joy through it all. I would not have made it this far without You. Thank You for turning my disappointment and failure into a dance floor time and time again. You have my heart and Your praise will ever be on my lips. “Who is this one? Look at her now! She arises from her desert of difficulty clinging to her Beloved” – Song of Songs 8:5.

  • A Psychoanalytic Reading of K. Sello Duiker's Novels

    A Psychoanalytic Reading of K. Sello Duiker's Novels

    DREAMS, SEXUALITY AND FANTASY: A PSYCHOANALYTIC READING OF K. SELLO DUIKER’S NOVELS by Teneille Kirton-Els 200429353 A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities University of Fort Hare, for the degree of Doctor of Literature and Philosophy Supervisor: Dr. Jabulani Mkhize East London, 2013 ABSTRACT The primary aim of this thesis is to provide a text-based literary study exploring the characters and themes created by K. Sello Duiker in the three novels, Thirteen Cents, The Quiet Violence of Dreams and The Hidden Star. Duiker’s work is significant because it highlights prominent societal challenges prevalent in post-apartheid society. By analysing Duiker’s novels one acquires a better understanding of this author, an understanding of the world that contributed to the creation of his texts and his contribution to South African literature. Insight into Duiker’s fictional world allows for a careful investigation of the prominent societal issues prevalent in Duiker’s work - a world riddled with violence, issues of sexuality and psychological distress. For this purpose this thesis is premised on the notion that underpinning K. Sello Duiker’s oeuvre is a central focus on dreams, sexuality and fantasy. Logically, therefore, the main focus of the study is specifically on the inner working of the characters’ minds and how they deal/ or are unable to cope with contemporary social concerns, often resulting in psychological turmoil and dysfunctionality. For this reason, prominent themes examined in this study are the interpretation of dreams, an exploration of sexuality and an examination of fantasy in the three novels.

    Fabricating Girls: Clothes and Coming-Of-Age Fiction by Women of Color

    Fabricating Girls: Clothes and Coming-of-Age Fiction by Women of Color Margaret D. Stetz Department of Women and Gender Studies, University of Delaware 34 West Delaware Avenue Newark, DE 19716, USA E-mail: [email protected]; [email protected] Abstract: Given the long history of prejudice against clothing as a serious subject of scholarly analysis, dress has remained insufficiently explored in literary criticism as a feature of the bildungsroman, or the coming-of-age fictional narrative. Choice of dress has been, however, a crucial element in the establishment of identity and in the process of maturation, particularly in narratives about girls and most especially in late-twentieth and early-twenty-first-century works about girls of color. This essay examines the role of dress in three representative texts by women of color—one Australian, one Afro-British, and one Chicana. Keywords: dress; fashion; coming-of-age narratives; bildungsroman; girls of color; identity formation What happens when we focus on the intersection of two subjects that traditionally have been considered of lower status in many academic settings—i.e., girlhood and clothes? These two topics may long have attracted interest among popular audiences, but when it comes to literary criticism, in particular, they are only now beginning to accrue prestige, or what is often called “cultural capital.” They have been long neglected, in particular, in the very place where they might have been expected: studies of the bildungsroman, which tracks the progress over time of an individual fictional protagonist. Conventional discussions of maturation in coming-of-age narratives, and conventional formulations of that genre, have mainly reflected masculine notions of development, pivoting on what Maureen Corrigan describes as episodes of “male extreme adventure”—i.e., “a one-shot testosterone expenditure of physical courage that pits man against nature/man/himself, with man (the narrator usually) left standing, bloody but unbowed” (Corrigan 2005, 5).

    Third-Generation Women Writers and the New Nigerian Novel

    “Half and Half Children”: Third-Generation Women Writers and the New Nigerian Novel Jane Bryce Research in African Literatures, Volume 39, Number 2, Summer 2008, pp. 49-67 (Article) Published by Indiana University Press For additional information about this article http://muse.jhu.edu/journals/ral/summary/v039/39.2.bryce.html Access Provided by University of Warwick at 02/01/12 4:41PM GMT “Half and Half Children”: Third-Generation Women Writers and the New Nigerian Novel JANE BRYCE University of the West Indies, Cave Hill ABSTRACT The paper looks at seven novels by women published since 2000, and asks in what ways they reconfigure realism and the social text of the recent Nigerian past. Their authors are engaged in a lively dialogue with their literary precursors, male and female, using their interpretation of the past. Though realism is their preferred mode, it is a realism that bears the trace of pre-existing non-realist modes of expression and belief. By reclaiming the traditionally negative icon of the abiku child, they effect a retrieval of the feminine repressed, casting the feminine double as shadow or negative to the paradigmatic male protagonist of Nigerian fiction and reinserting it into the postcolonial national narrative. Like one of the protagonists, these novels ask the urgent question: “What was the country I loved? The country I would fight for? Should it have borders?” n this article, I consider the novels by mostly young women with at least one Nigerian parent, whether domiciled in Nigeria or elsewhere, which have been published since the year 2000: House of Symbols (2001) by Akachi Ezeigbo; Purple IHibiscus (2004) and Half of a Yellow Sun (2006) by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie; Everything Good Will Come (2005) by Sefi Atta; Sky-High Flames (2005) by Unoma Azuah; The Icarus Girl (2005) by Helen Oyeyemi; and 26a (2006) by Diana Evans.

Reading African Women’s Writing: The Role of Librarians in Expanding the Canon Miriam Conteh-Morgan Miriam Conteh-Morgan is Assistant Professor, Bibliographer for Linguistics, African Studies and French, Information Services Department, The Ohio State University Libraries, 1858 Neil Avenue Mall, Columbus, OH SUMMARY. This paper will briefly review the canon debate in African literature, situating it within a wider context of debates on other non-Western, non-central or emerging disciplines. It will then examine ways in which reference services can respond to the challenge of canon expansion, and how librarians can impact the study of African women writers in universities and colleges. I will approach these topics from two perspectives. The first involves reference librarians in their traditional role as information mediators. Using the works of female writers as examples in instruction sessions and reference guides are ways in which traditional methods can be given a new twist. In so doing, reference librarians will be combining intercultural literacy with information literacy. A bibliography of selected works will also be given that will help general reference librarians strengthen their collections and educate themselves on the subject. The second will be on ways in which librarians can add a layer to traditional mediating by becoming academic activists.
