ABSTRACT Ideology, imagery and female agency in tapestry at the Evangelical Lutheran Church Art and Craft Centre, Rorke’s Drift, during the Swedish period 1961–1976. This study investigates the tapestry practice initiated by two Swedish artists, Peder and Ulla Gowenius, at the Evangelical Lutheran Church Art and Craft Centre at Rorke’s Drift in apartheid South Africa. Following an experimental period at Ceza Mission Hospital in early 1962, and the opening of a craft-therapy project at Umpumulo, the couple established an ambitious weavery at Rorke’s Drift in 1963, which they and their Swedish successors ran until early 1976. Despite the Centre’s popular acclaim, little is known of the Swedish context in which this philanthropic gesture was launched, or the works made by the recipients of their largesse, who were rural isiZulu-speaking women marginalised by apartheid policy, missionary strictures and social convention. In uncovering the context in which a group of Swedish women, the Svenska kommittén för stöd åt afrikanskt konsthantverk (Swedish Committee for the Support of African Art and Craft), imagined a poverty-alleviation project in Africa, I reveal how their notions of ‘rescuing’ vernacular African crafts would prove unworkable, particularly in the light of the apartheid Government’s strategy to tribalise Africans by limiting their access to industrial technologies and promoting ‘native craft’ instead. The pilot project at Ceza and then Umpumulo was an alternative solution that combined inherited and imported technologies, developed through the agency, interaction and adaptation on the part of both the empowered ‘experts’ and the recipients of their knowledge, learnings which would be applied in the new weavery at Rorke’s Drift. Close examination of the tapestries women made there, and the way they worked, challenges homogenising representations of these textile artists as lacking subjectivity and individuality, and reveals how they developed new visual syntaxes through the ‘free weaving’ approach, in which imagery was improvised on the loom. By examining the pedagogic approaches of successive Swedish teachers, I also uncover tensions in the practice between modernist concepts of ‘originality’ and the demands of production. The measures the teachers took to deal with this, and to infuse the weavery with new visual concepts that would appeal to the Swedish market, are closely considered in this study, as are the challenges African women at times mounted to their mentors’ modus operandi. As well as an income-generating project, however, Swedish mentors developed the weavery as a site for artistic education, encouraging women’s independence and critical thinking in a complex environment. Reference to apartheid policy, Lutheran agendas and social practices can be read in number of tapestries. Despite the systems of control that determined weaver’s lives, some of their iconographies ignored restrictions on inherited African practices in the interests of artistic experience. In navigating patriarchy at the Centre, weavers sometimes endorsed men’s ‘authority’ in the tapestries they improvised from their linocuts, while at other times they personalised them. But their most innovative iconographies were drawn from women’s oral knowledge, often articulating covert references to the social and political regimes that defined their lives. This new reading of the tapestry practice at Rorke’s Drift uncovers the role of the loom in the resilience and agencies of marginalised women. i Declaration of Originality I declare that the work contained in this thesis is my own original writing.

  • Michael Schulte
    Frederick Hale The South African Immorality Act and Sara Lidman’s Jag och min son? candinavian reactions to apartheid in South Africa were almost universally negative since that term for pervasive racial segregation S was coined in the late 1940s. Specifically, journalistic criticism of the National Party, which acceded to power in 1948 and shortly thereafter began to implement its racist programme of social engineering, has always been severe. Prior to the 1960s, however, political and economic ties between the Nordic countries and South Africa remained generally amiable if rarely cordial. Trade was unimpeded, and dozens of Scandinavian companies occupied spaces in the industrial and commercial landscape of South Africa while enough ships of Nordic registry called at Durban and Cape Town to justify the existence of seamen’s missions for their crews in both ports. During the 1960s, though, relations began to sour notably. The legislative bodies of the Scandinavian countries gradually imposed restrictions on commercial links; missionary staffs in South Africa dwindled; and the public image of the Nationalist regime in Pretoria went from bad to virtually demonic. Eventually Scandinavian Airways System cancelled its flights to Johannesburg and, at least on an officially acknowledged level, trade ground to a halt. The Nordic countries, especially Sweden, gained a reputation amongst white South Africans as being some of the most uncompromising international foes of white minority rule. It is not difficult to identify several factors for this worsening of relations around 1960. One of the most obvious is the global reaction © TijdSchrift voor Skandinavistiek, vol. 21 (2000), nr. 1 [ISSN: 0168-2148] 56 TijdSchrift voor Skandinavistiek to the massacre at Sharpeville in March of that year, when South African policemen shot several dozen unarmed blacks who were protesting against the notorious pass laws.

Crime writer, teacher. Dagmar Maria Lange became famous – using the pseudonym of Maria Lang – as the first queen of the Swedish detective novel. She is best known for her 1950s whodunnits involving Puck Bure and detective inspector Christer Wijk. Dagmar Lange grew up in Nora, in Bergslagen. She was the daughter of Elsa Keijser and Clas Lange, a journalist and the publisher of Bergslagens tidning . Following her father’s early demise in 1917 Dagmar Lange’s mother married the travelling salesman Carl Ivar Olson. They had two daughters together, Ingrid and Siv. Having completed high school in Västerås, Dagmar Lange continued her education, first in Uppsala and then Stockholm, where she defended her literary thesis on Pontus Wikner in 1946. She generated a certain controversy by revealing Wikner’s homosexuality in her thesis and this led to a delay in publishing her work. After gaining her doctorate Dagmar Lange spent many years working as a teacher, a director of studies and eventually as principal of Nya elementarskolan (primary school) in Stockholm. She was very well-liked by her students. She would spend her summers in Nora, where she would often sit and write her detective novels.

  • SOM DET VERKLIGEN VAR Barbro Alving (Bang) I Dagböcker Och Brev
    Elisabeth Stenborg, 'Som det verkligen var. Barbro Alving (Bang) i dagböcker och brev' [Detta nummers förstasida] [Om HumaNetten] [Institutionen för humaniora] SOM DET VERKLIGEN VAR Barbro Alving (Bang) i dagböcker och brev Av Elisabeth Stenborg, universitetslektor i litteraturvetenskap Länk till presentation av Elisabeth Stenborg Barbro Alving föddes den 12 januari 1909 i det så kallade Skandalhuset i Uppsala, i en litterär och kulturell miljö. Hennes far var den kände filosofie doktorn Hjalmar Alving, som bl.a. gav ut en länge använd litteraturhistorisk lärobok för gymnasiet: Svensk litteraturhistoria. Den förelåg 1932 och kom sedan ut i flera upplagor. Vi hade den i mitten av 50-talet, när jag gick i gymnasiet. Hjalmar Alving var också en flitig översättare av isländska sagor. Modern, Fanny Alving, gav ut humoristiska folklivsberättelser, skrev visor och översatte franska romaner. Hon hade börjat med att skriva seriös litteratur men fått så nedgörande kritik av Oscar Levertin att hon helt övergick till kåserier och annat lättare stoff. Hon medarbetade i skämttidningen Strix under signaturen "Maja X". Hon introducerade också den första kvinnliga svenska detektiven i boken Josefssons på Drottninggatan, 1918. Modern var mycket noga med att påpeka, att huset faktiskt hette Skandalhuset redan innan yngsta dottern Barbro, i familjen kallad Bappo, föddes. Båda föräldrarna hade mycket humor, en gåva som gick i arv till såväl Bappo som till den två år äldre systern Beat-Sofi, kallad Bojan eller Borra i familjen. I hemmet vistades då och då även halvbrodern Anders Norrman från Fanny Alvings tidigare äktenskap. Barndomsbilder på Barbro Alving visar en liten allvarlig flicka med glasögon. (I treårsåldern blev hon nämligen kolossalt vindögd, vilket korrigerades med dessa glasögon.) Efter tio ganska sorglösa år i Uppsala flyttade familjen till Stockholm, omsider till Odengatan 42, senare till en villa i Nockeby i Bromma.

  • Förteckning Över Elin Vjägners Samling a 48 A
    Förteckning över Elin VJägners samling A 48 a Upprättad 1982 Materialets väg till Kvinnohistoriska samlingarna, Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek Elin Wägners kusin, Lisa Ekedahl, förvarade största delen av Elins arkivmaterial från hennes död 1949 till sin egen död 1980. Under denna tid hade Barbro Alving i många år tillgång till materialet för forskning. I forskningssyfte gjorde Barbro Alving avskrifter och utarbetade journalerna (F VI: 1). En del Wägner- material stannade kvar på Rösås, Flory Getes hem i Småland. Elin Wägner bodde tidvis hos Flory Gate. Detta material ingår i Flory Gates samling (som ordnats tidigare). När det blev aktuellt för Ulla Isaksson och Erik Hjlamar Linder att skriva biografin över Elin Wägner fick paret Barbro Alvings journaler och avskrifter till sitt förfogande. En del original­ handlingar mottog författarna från Lisa Ekedahl och från personer som mottagit brev från Elin Wägner. Därutöver utökade de materialet på olika sätt. 1980 mottog Kvinnohistoriska samlingarna arkivmaterialet från Lisa Ekedahl och under 1981 inkom det material som Ulla Isaksson och Erik Hjalmar Linder haft som underlag för biografin. I övrigt har personer som innehaft material av och om Elin Wägner i stor ut­ sträckning ställt det till Kvinnohistoriska samlingarnas förfogande. Samlingen består av Elin Wägners arkivmaterial Barbro Alvings journaler samt hennes många avskrifter av arbets­ böcker och brev Olika släktmedlemmars arkivalier Slutligen av övriga handlingar som belyser Elin Wägners liv eller hennes arbeten Författarinnan, journalisten, debattören ELIN WÄGNER föddes den 16 maj 1882 i Lund. När hon var 3 år miste hon sin mor Anna Wägner, född Ekedahl. Fadern, Sven Wägner, docent i teoretisk filosofi i Lund, blev 1887 läroverksrektor, först i Nyköping och 10 år senare i Hälsingborg, där Elin tillbringade sin ungdom.

  • Bakom Signaturerna, Med Vacklande Självförtroende Och Starka Tvivel På Sig Själv Och Sin Förmåga
    Bakom signaturerna Ur Barbro Alvings dagböcker och brev 1936–1959 KURS: Historia för ämneslärare 61–90 hp PROGRAM: Ämneslärarprogrammet med inriktning mot gymnasieskolan FÖRFATTARE: Signe Sahlström EXAMINATOR: Radu Harald Dinu TERMIN: HT-20 BETYG: VG Abstract Barbro Alving (1909–1987) was a famous journalist and foreign correspondent. She was also active in radio and wrote books and scripts for films. She worked at the Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter 1934–1959, and after that at Vecko-Journalen. Her fame is partly attributed to her coverage of the Olympic games in Berlin and the Spanish civil war 1936. She was active in the fight for women’s emancipation and pacifism. But she was also a human being behind all the work, with a weak constitution, shaky self-confidence, and a lot of self-doubt. Most previous studies and texts about Barbro Alving focus on her journalistic deeds and career. The aim of this study is to apply a new perspective by examining her private texts. She was a non-heterosexual woman in a male dominated profession. She broke norms, which makes her life interesting in her historical and societal context. The aim of the study is to explore Barbro Alving’s self-image and close relationships over the years 1936–1959 through theories about gender and with a microhistorical approach. Due to the length of the period, there is also a question about change and continuity in her self-image. The material used for the study are compilations of Alving’s letters and diaries, spanning over 600 pages. A selection of people and events were chosen, and parts and quotes were picked out for presentation and analysis.
