Litt.-proefskrif aan die UOVS. Dié studie is in 1987 onder leiding van prof. JH Senekal (promotor) en dr. Charles Malan (mede-promotor) voltooi en hou verband met die geskiedskrywing- en resepsieprogramme van die Sentrum vir Suid-Afrikaanse Letterkundenavorsing (SENSAL) van die RGN. Ek wil graag my dank en waardering uitspreek teenoor al die instellings (veral INEG en SASKI) en individue wat my met materiaal-insameling bygestaan het. Spesiale dank aan Buks Groenewald vir sy biblioteekkundige hulp, Sylvia de Bruin vir die tikwerk en aan my kollegas - John Kannemeyer, Johann Lodewyk Marais en Martjie Bosman - vir hulle voorstelle, kritiek en volgehoue diskoers oor die letterkunde. Met apologie aan Leon Rousseau (in die voorwoord tot Die groot verlange): Dit is miskien nodig om te vermeld dat nog 'n maand of nog 'n jaar se werk die boek vollediger sou kon gemaak het. Daar is egter perke aan alles. FRANCIS GALLOWAY Francis Galloway, Breyten Breytenbach as openbare figuur 1 Inleiding I Doelstelling Breyten Breytenbach se verskyning op die Afrikaanse literêre toneel met twee bundels in 1964 - nadat hy tot in daardie stadium slegs gedigte in tydskrifte soos Contrast gepubliseer het - word oorwegend geesdriftig begroet. Dit is egter in 1965 dat hy sterk op die voorgrond tree: nie net as wenner van die Afrikaanse Pers Boekhandel-prys nie, maar as iemand wat afwyk van die algemeen aanvaarde patroon van wat 'n ‘Afrikaner’ is en doen. In koerantberigte (byvoorbeeld Db., 14.2.65 en Bu., 18.2.65) en -briewe ontvou die verhaal van die jong seun van Bonnievale-Kafferskuilrivier-Wellington wat aan die Michaeliskunsskool van die Universiteit van Kaapstad vriendskappe met ‘andersdenkende’ jong mense sluit en vir die eerste keer kennis maak met ‘liberale’ en ‘swart’ politiek; wat teen die einde van 1959 op 'n Portugese boot na Europa vertrek; wat deur Spanje ryloop na Parys; wat in Londen gaan wag op nuus van 'n algemene onlussituasie tuis ná die Sharpeville-voorval; wat ná maande as portretskilder, werker op 'n plesierboot op die Middellandse See en as taalonderwyser in Noorweë na Parys terugkeer, in 1962 met die ‘nie-blanke’ meisie Ngo Thi Huang Lien (oftewel Yolande) trou en wat haar, drie jaar later, met sy prysgeld na sy geboorteland wil bring. Die visumweiering aan Yolande is belangrik in die Breytenbach-geskiedenis omdat dit van hom 'n openbare figuur maak wat hewige reaksie by die publiek uitlok; omdat die gedwonge afwesigheid van sy vaderland 'n invloed op sy skrywersloopbaan gehad het en omdat daar rondom dié debakel 'n politieke kode begin ontstaan het wat in die resepsie van sy literêre tekste opvallend meespreek. Sedert 1965 figureer die Suid-Afrikaanse apartheidswerklikheid as die spil waarom Breytenbach se verbittering draai en waarteen sy verset gerig is - in sy uitsprake oor die skrywerstaak, in 'n hoë mate in sy skryfkuns self, en in sy politieke optrede wat in 1975 sou uitloop op sy skuldigbevinding onder die Wet op die Onderdrukking van Terrorisme. Reeds in die brief aan Die Burger (2.6.65) waarin hy reageer op die visumweiering aan Yolande rig hy hom hierteen: ‘Ek haat en verafsku apartheid met al sy implikasies.’ Ná sy vrylating stel hy dit telkens duidelik dat hy nóg so voel, byvoorbeeld: I believe, more than ever, that the system existing in South Africa is against the grain of everything that is beautiful and hopeful and dignified in human history; that it is a denial of humanity, not only of the majority being oppressed but of the minority associated with that oppression; that it is profoundly unjust; that it is Francis Galloway, Breyten Breytenbach as openbare figuur 2 totally corrupted and currupting; that it is a system with which nobody ought to be allowed to live. (1984a: 59) As ‘Sestiger’ was Breytenbach deel van 'n groep skrywers wie se vernuwende invloed die tradisioneel aanvaarde ‘grense’ van die literatuur oorgesteek het, sodat hulle werk 'n politieke fenomeen geword het. Volgens André P Brink, voorste segsman van Sestig: Social attitudes within Afrikanerdom are assessed, even today, on the basis of whether a person is ‘for’ or ‘against’ the Sestigers. And this applies as much to people who have read their work as to a multitude who haven't. (1983a: 45; vergelyk ook Brink, 1985b: 10) Breytenbach is egter nie soseer 'n ‘politieke’ figuur op grond van die feit dat hy 'n Sestiger was nie, maar op grond van sy persoonlike openbare uitsprake en optrede teen apartheid wat hewige reaksie van sowel literêr-geskoolde lesers as die algemene publiek uitlok. Brink, wat ook 'n kenner van Breytenbach se poësie en prosa is, meen: He is indeed one of the greatest poets Afrikaans literature has yet produced; but what makes him politically relevant is that to an overwhelming majority of people who have never read a single line of his verse, he has become a symbol of resistance to oppression. To many Africans, Coloureds and Indians he has given new hope: because of his marriage and because of his convictions. As a result, every line of poetry he writes - even if it is the purest lyrical verse - acquires political implications. (1983a: 86) Dat Breytenbach nie net 'n belangrike literêre bydrae gelewer het nie, maar ook 'n sosiale rol in die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing vervul, word sedert sy inhegtenisneming en vonnis uit verskillende oorde erken. Die taalsosioloog en skrywer JC Steyn meen dat Breytenbach met sy optrede homself ‘geoffer’ het om Afrikaans te help bevry van die stigma ‘verdrukkerstaal’; dat hy ‘so skouspelagtig soos alle Afrikaner-rebelle voor hom’ kon toon dat Afrikaans ook die taal is van diegene wat hulle met hart, siel en verstand verset teen alles wat - ‘ten onregte in die naam van die Afrikaners’ - aan ander gedoen word (1980: 281 - 282). AJ (Ampie) Coetzee (1980: i) stel dit dat Breytenbach se politieke uitsprake en handelinge 'n sterk politiserende effek gehad het. Jack Cope (1982: 173) wys daarop dat Breytenbach se ‘mere presence implying total rejection of racial domination by Whites in his hated/adored country was in itself a declaration’. Uitsprake soos hierdie oor die politieke rol en die politiserende effek van Breytenbach is veralgemenend en berus deels op aannames. Daar word gereeld in literêre essays en in studies oor Breytenbach verwys na sy politieke uitsprake en optrede en die effek wat dit gehad het, maar daar is nog nooit 'n sistematiese en uitgebreide ondersoek daarna onderneem nie. In teenstelling met ander studies oor Breytenbach wat ‘teksgesentreerd’ is in die sin dat dit sy literêre tekste as selfstandige eenhede en outonome objekte bestudeer (kyk Bibliografie B vir studies oor Breytenbach), is die doel van die Francis Galloway, Breyten Breytenbach as openbare figuur 3 huidige ondersoek om bepaalde verhoudings binne 'n tydvak vanaf die vroeë sestigerjare tot die tagtigerjare te sistematiseer, te beskryf en krities te beredeneer - uit die aard van die saak vanuit die ondersoeker se perspektief (wat onder meer deur 'n ideologiese vlak bepaal word). Die volgende aspekte kry aandag: - Breytenbach se omstrede openbare uitsprake en optrede wat hom telkens in die kalklig laat staan, asook die hewige openbare reaksie wat hy by wit Afrikaanssprekendes uitgelok het. Hierdie reaksie kan, vir sover dit die sestiger- en sewentigerjare betref, breedweg getipeer word as ‘verkramp’ en ‘verlig’. Eers in die tweede helfte van die tagtigerjare is daar tekens van 'n kritiese reaksie vanuit 'n ‘radikale’ oriëntasie. - Die verhouding tussen Breytenbach se politieke uitsprake/optrede en die reaksies daarop aan die een kant en die algemene politieke konteks aan die ander kant. - Die rol van die Afrikaanse pers ten opsigte van Breytenbach as openbare figuur. - Die implikasies wat Breytenbach se uitsprake/optrede vir sy literatuuropvatting inhou, asook die implikasies wat reaksies op sodanige uitsprake/optrede vir die literatuuropvattings van lesers en die publiek inhou (dit wil sê die verband tussen ideologie en literatuuropvatting). II Teoretiese vertrekpunte Bogenoemde aspekte van die kommunikasie rondom Breytenbach word ontleed binne die raamwerke van die semiotiek en die sisteembenadering met klem op die interaksie tussen die literêre, politieke en joernalistieke sisteme (wat natuurlik nie volkome losgemaak kan word van ander diskoerse, byvoorbeeld rondom taal- en ander kultuursake nie). Die begrip ‘sisteem’ word hier nie gebruik in die sin van ‘Die Sisteem/The System’ waarteen iemand soos Breytenbach hom immers verset nie. Dit word bloot bedoel as noemer vir gedeeltes van die wêreld wat as eenhede waargeneem kan word en wat in staat is om 'n ‘identiteit’ te handhaaf ten spyte van veranderings wat daarbinne voltrek word. 'n Kultuur ('n gemeenskap) word in terme van hierdie raamwerk gesien as 'n makrosisteem wat ander sisteme insluit. Die uitgangspunt dat die maatskappy 'n groep sisteme is wat in interaksie verkeer, stel die ondersoeker in staat om twee kragte aan te toon. Aan die een kant is daar die dinamiek van oop sisteme wat verandering ondergaan, gerig deur verskuiwings in die heersende modelle en norme waarvolgens sisteme hulleself organiseer en wat op hulle beurt ideologies bepaald is. Aan die ander kant is daar die strewe na selfbehoud en stabiliteit binne (sub-)sisteme. Uit die Francis Galloway, Breyten Breytenbach as openbare figuur 4 ondersoek na die verhouding tussen die Afrikaanse literêre, politieke en joernalistieke sisteme blyk die talle pogings om die status quo te bewaar, telkens gekoppel aan 'n bepaalde literatuuropvatting (vroeër die outonomiebenadering) en 'n bepaalde ideologiese raamwerk (veral Afrikaner-nasionalisme).

  • Tourism Is a National Priority and Contributes Signif- Icantly to Economic Development
    Tourism is a national priority and contributes signif- icantly to economic development. The national tourism sector strategy provides a blueprint for the sector to meet the growth targets contained in the new growth path. The National Department of Tourism's (NDT) strategic goals over the medium term are to: • maximise domestic tourism and foreign tourist arrivals in South Africa • expand domestic and foreign investment in the South African tourism industry • expand tourist infrastructure • improve the range and quality of tourist services • improve the tourist experience and value for money • improve research and knowledge management • contribute to growth and development and expand the tourism share of gross domestic product (GDP) • improve competitiveness and sustainability in the tourism sector • strengthen collaboration with tourist organi sations. The inflow of tourists to South Africa is the result of the success of policies aimed at entrenching South Africa’s status as a major international tourism and business events destination. The Tourism Business Index’s quarterly index produced by the Tourism Business Council of South Africa indicated that revenue per available room in the hotel sector increased by 7,9% during the first 10 months of 2014. A Statistics South Africa (StatsSA) report has found that the total income for the South Africa tourist accommo- dation industry, which includes restaurant and bar sales, grew by 7%. In May 2015, there were 1 202 795 foreign arrivals to South Africa. The arrivals were made up of 89 257 non-visitors and 1 113 538 visitors. The visitors consisted of 428 131 same-day visitors and 685 407 overnight visitors.

  • Judging the Book
    Carol van der Westhuizen School of Teacher Training, Groenkloof Campus, University of Pretoria Judging the book This article focuses on the extrinsic factors ABSTRACTcontributing to the popularity of novels in general and Dalene Matthee's Afrikaans "forest" novels in particular. Any group of agents involved in the production, dissemination and promotion of fiction comprises a literary institution. These literary institutions regulate the complex process of classifying and valuing a text as "literary fiction". The collective body of literary institutions constitutes the literary system in which each institution influences the way literature is viewed. Literary institutions perform a social function as "gatekeepers" between the book and its audience, thus influencing its publication and reception. Keywords: novel, literary fiction, institutional approach 1. Introduction: The distinction between "high" and "low" texts The distinction between "high" and "low" or literary and popular texts has long been debated. Literary scholars nowadays seem to advocate the view that serious and popular literature are categories in the same literary system and should be regarded as parallel categories which differ from each other in many respects but also have several characteristics in common (Malan 1983; Barsch 1996; Sutherland 2002). Moreover, Barsch (1996: 696) contends that "dealing with literature in the classroom has to be put on another foundation" as there is no "automatic developmental sequence for reading from 'low' to 'high'". Literary scholars' and teachers' acceptance of "different, but functionally equivalent concepts of literature" would give equal significance to both "high" and "low" literature. The teacher's role is crucial in educating learners to deal with literature at school, as it "is likely to influence the way they look at and act on literature outside school and in later life" (Janssen & Rijlaarsdam 1996: 513).

  • Women Voices in the Media of the Afrikaans Language
    31 WOMEN VOICES IN THE MEDIA OF THE AFRIKAANS LANGUAGE COMMUNITY· AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE Communitas ISSN I 023-0556 2004 9: 31 - 46 Lizette Rabe* ABSTRACT How were the voices of women journalists in the Afrikaans speaking community in South Africa heard over the past century? Who were these women, and who pioneered the way before them? This article investigates the origin and development ofAfrikaans women journalists against the background of the socio-political climate as manifested after the Anglo-Boer War. Discrimination against women was widespread, as in other cultures. However, after the Anglo-Boer War, it seems women relinquished their rights in favour of the Afrikaner Nationalist movement. This impacted even more on the rights of women as citizens who could contribute as equals on all levels of society. Individuals who pleaded for equality were silenced. Afrikaans women were not allowed - it was deemed as "the will of God" - to play a public role. In the Afrikaans journalism world, this manifested itself in the fact that women had to be content to play a secondary role for many decades. Those individuals who can be regarded as the pioneers in Afrikaans journalism are highlighted in this article. The need for more research in media historiography - not only with the focus on women, but also on those voices that were not heard because of class or race - is also articulated. * Professor Lizette Rabe is Head of the Post-Graduate Department of Journalism at the University of Stellenbosh. 32 INTRODUCTION South African media today portrays the same characteristics as do media in other countries, both in the so-called First World and Third World: women portrayed in the media are by far in the minority; they are in many cases stereotyped, and lastly, they have limited roles as media producers (Goga 2000; Spears, Seudegart & Gallagher 2000; Lowe Moma 2001; GMBS 2003).

  • South Africa Yearbook 2013/2014 Tourism
    SOUTH AFRICA YEARBOOK 2013/14 Tourism has taken its place as a vital contributor to economic growth, catapulting South Africa from a pariah prior to 1994 to one of the fastest-growing Tourism and most desired leisure holiday destinations in the world. The infl ow of tourists to South Africa is the result of the success of policies aimed at entrenching South Africa’s status as a major international tourism and business events destination. The purpose of the National Department of Tourism (NDT) is to be a catalyst for tourism growth and development in South Africa, and to drive the National Tourism Sector Strategy (NTSS). To ensure the achievement of the sector’s targets, the department supports the implemen- tation of the NTSS and work, towards increasing the number of foreign arrivals from 9 933 966 in 2009 to 12 068 030 by 2015, and increasing the number of domestic tourists from 14 600 000 in 2009 to 16 000 000 by 2015. In 2013/14, international tourist arrivals in South Africa grew by 10,2% year on year to almost 9,2 million. Europe remained the highest source of tourists, with arrivals growing by 9,5% year on year to 1 396 978 tourists. The United Kingdom (UK) was South Africa’s biggest overseas tourism market: 438 023 UK tourists travelled to South Africa. The United States of America (USA) was South Africa’s second biggest overseas market, with 326 643 tourists, followed by Germany with 266 333 tourists. France is now South Africa’s fi fth biggest overseas market with 122 244 tourists.

  • Karen Blixen in the African Book and Literary Tourism Market
    Johann Lodewyk Marais Karen Blixen in the African book Johann Lodewyk Marais is a writer, and literary tourism market literary critic and historian. He is a research fellow in the Unit for Academic Literacy, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, South Africa. Email: [email protected] Karen Blixen in the African book and literary tourism market In 1937, the Danish-born writer Karen Blixen published Out of Africa, an autobiographical account, in English, of the seventeen years she spent in Africa (from 1914 until 1931). During those years, she forged a permanent bond with Kenya, where she managed a coffee plantation. This bond was immortalised in the book, leading to cult status for both the publication and its author. Out of Africa contains a blend of the essay, the sketch and the historical document. A contemporary reading of the book also reveals some offensive and racist passages; footprints, as it were, of the settler society of its day. However, the lyrical, introspective quality of this book has resulted in its becoming one of the great publishing phenomena of the twentieth century, reaching many readers through various reprints, translations and a film version. This article presents the publishing history of Out of Africa and gives an overview of its many translations across the globe. It also indicates the extent to which, and the reasons why, the book did (or did not) achieve success in Africa. A comparison is also made between Out of Africa and a number of texts by other female writers who wrote about their experiences particularly in African landscapes and/or places.
