Pointing out that media education has been variously described in South Africa as visual literacy, mass media studies, teleliteracy, and film studies, or as dealing with educational technology or educational media, the introduction cites a definition of media education as an exploration of contemporary culture alongside more traditional literary texts. It is noted that this definition raises issues for education as a whole, for traditional language study, for media, for communication, and for u0erstanding the world. The 37 selected papers in this collection are presented in seven categories: (1) Why Media Education? (keynote paper by Bob Ferguson); (2) Matters Educational (10 papers on media education and visual literacy); (3) Working Out How Media Works (4 papers on film studies, film technology, and theory); (4) Creating New Possibilities for Media Awareness (9 papers on film and television and 4 on print media);(5) Training and Empowering (2 papers focusing on teachers and 4 focusing on training producers); (6) Media Developing Media Awareness (2 papers); and (7) Afterthoughts (I paper).

  • Arguing Biko: Evidence of the Body in the Politics of History, 1977 to the Present
    Arguing Biko: Evidence of the Body in the Politics of History, 1977 to the Present A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Jesse Walter Bucher IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Advisors Allen F. Isaacman and Tamara Giles-Vernick September, 2010 © Jesse Walter Bucher 2010 i Acknowledgements Funding support for my dissertation research in South Africa was provided in 2007- 2008 by the Office of International Programs Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship at the University of Minnesota. Funding for a research trip to the Eastern Cape in June of 2008 was provided by the Center for Humanities Research and the History Department at the University of the Western Cape where I was a research fellow. Joint financial support from the MacArthur program at the University of Minnesota and the Donald Burch Fellowship in History through the University of Minnesota Department of History in 2008-2009, and a Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship from the University of Minnesota Graduate School in 2009-2010 allowed me to concentrate exclusively on completing the dissertation writing. I thank all of these institutions for their generous support. I first studied African history as an undergraduate at The College of New Jersey where I had the great fortune of working with Derek Peterson. Between my junior and senior years of college, Derek helped me formulate my first research projects in African history while we both spent time sorting through files at the Public Records Office in London. Derek patiently showed me how to read documents, how to join together evidence with ideas, and how to think through the historiographical questions that shaped the discipline.

Descend, Spirit! Descend, Spirit! Yihla Moya Oyingcwele Descend, Holy Spirit! Sir Richard Attenborough’s film “Cry Freedom” is based on the true story of the friendship between Steve Biko and Donald Woods. The fact that Biko was black and Woods white and that their friendship grew in South Africa under the apartheid regime meant that it was not only a human friendship but also a political friendship. The work that you will be doing on the film “Cry Freedom” looks at the background to the film and also at the ways in which feature films deal with real events. The first thing that we need to consider is the difference between what is expected by an audience of a feature film and what is expected by an audience of a text on politics. Using a chart, write down the ideas that you have as to what you would expect to find in a feature film and then write down all of the ideas that you associate with politics. ©Film Education 1 What problems do you think would face a film director when making a film about a political subject ? One major problem that faced Sir Richard Attenborough when making “Cry Freedom” was that it was based on a true story.

Biko's clearly defined condemnation of traditional South African white liberals such as Alan Paton is hypothesised as a strategic move in the liberation struggle designed to neutralise the "gradualism" of traditional white liberalism which believe that racism could be ultimately superseded by continually improving education for blacks. Biko neutralised apartheid racism and traditional white liberalism by affirming all aspects of blackness as positive values in themselves, and by locating racism as a white construct with deep roots in European colonialism and pseudo­ Darwinian beliefs in white superiority. The research shows that Biko was neither anti-liberal nor anti-white.

  • Cry Freedom (Grita Libertad) Direcció: Richard Attenborough
    ACTIVITAT DE SÍNTESI Racisme, llibertat d’opinió i expressió La pel·lícula que us proposem és una síntesi o compendi del conjunt del sentit dels articles esmentats en el bloc. En aquest cas, la cinta reuneix una colla d’ingredients que pràcticament es troben en tots els principis enunciats. Títol original: Cry Freedom (Grita libertad) Direcció: Richard Attenborough Actors: Steve Biko (Denzel Washington); Donald Woods (Kevin Kline); Wendy Woods (Penelope Wilton); Jimmy Kruger (John Thaw); Charles Jenkins (Robert Jones); Bruce Haigh (John Hargreaves); State Prosecutor (Ian Richardson); Mamphela Ramphele (Josette Simon); Ntsiki Biko (Juanita Waterman). Producció: Richard Nacionalitat: Gran Bretanya Attenborough Any: 1987 Fotografia: Ronnie Taylor Durada: 150 min Música: George Fenton i Jonas Gwangwa 65 Resum La pel·lícula es basa en una situació i uns fets reals, més o menys adap- tats per a un guió cinematogràfic. Transcorre durant els anys setanta a la República de Sud-àfrica, governada, aleshores, per una minoria blanca, és a dir, en ple apartheid. La policia i els militars reprimien qualsevol acte d’alliberament, prohibien les reunions i molts dissidents anaven a les presons, entre ells Nelson Mandela. El 1976, centenars d’estudiants d’instituts de Soweto (sud-oest de Johannesburg) es van manifestar en contra de la llei que imposava l’ús de la llengua afrika- ner, identificada amb la de l’opressor. La policia va respondre amb gasos lacrimògens i va matar tres manifestants, amb la qual cosa es va desbordar la ira dels habitants de Soweto, que van atacar i cremar edificis del Govern. Al llarg d’aquest any i del 1977, es van produir més manifestacions i es va incrementar la violència fins a il·legalitzar totes les organitzacions.

  • HISTORY of the NIGERIAN PETROLEUM INDUSTRY Oil Was Discovered in Nigeria in 1956 at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta After Half a Century of Exploration
    HISTORY OF THE NIGERIAN PETROLEUM INDUSTRY Oil was discovered in Nigeria in 1956 at Oloibiri in the Niger Delta after half a century of exploration. The discovery was made by Shell-BP, at the time the sole concessionaire. Nigeria joined the ranks of oil producers in 1958 when its first oil field came on stream producing 5,100 bpd. After 1960, exploration rights in onshore and offshore areas adjoining the Niger Delta were extended to other foreign companies. In 1965 the EA field was discovered by Shell in shallow water southeast of Warri. In 1970, the end of the Biafran war coincided with the rise in the world oil price, and Nigeria was able to reap instant riches from its oil production. Nigeria joined the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in 1971 and established the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) in 1977, a state owned and controlled company which is a major player in both the upstream and downstream sectors. Following the discovery of crude oil by Shell D’Arcy Petroleum, pioneer production began in 1958 from the company’s oil field in Oloibiri in the Eastern Niger Delta. By the late sixties and early seventies, Nigeria had attained a production level of over 2 million barrels of crude oil a day. Although production figures dropped in the eighties due to economic slump, 2004 saw a total rejuvenation of oil production to a record level of 2.5 million barrels per day. Current development strategies are aimed at increasing production to 4million barrels per day by the year 2010.

In het nieuws Coco kan het! Prentenboek van het Jaar Cry Freedom verhaalt over een intrigerende periode uit het leven van de Zuid-Afrikaanse journalist Donald Woods. Woods besloot om de biografie van de zwarte, in augustus vermoorde activist Steve Biko te publiceren, ook al moest hij daardoor zijn vaderland ontvluchten. Zijn vlucht naar buurland Lesotho, vermomd als priester, vormt dramatisch hoogtepunt van de film. Jammer genoeg ontstijgt Cry Freedom - ondanks een paar sterke scènes - het niveau van een doorsnee thriller niet.
