A New Translation of Sewe Dae by Die Silbersteins, And
WELGEVONDEN REVISITED: A NEW TRANSLATION OF SEWE DAE BY DIE SILBERSTEINS, AND ITS LITERARY-CRITICAL RATIONALE Gregory Quinton Penfold A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (MA) at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Leon de Kock December 2013 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration I, the undersigned, hereby declare that the work contained in this thesis consists of my own original work, and that I have not previously in its entirety, or in part, submitted it at any university for a degree. ………………………………………. ………………………………………… Signature: G.Q. Penfold Date: Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved 1 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT This thesis re-evaluates the writing of seminal Afrikaans modernist Etienne Leroux from a South African English perspective. The present author's new translation of Leroux's prize- winning novel Sewe Dae by die Silbersteins (1962) is the focal point of an enquiry into how “rewriting”, in translation theorist André Lefevere's coinage, has shaped the reception of Leroux's work outside the Afrikaans literary system. It is shown from a literary-histori- ographical viewpoint that translation played a crucial role in Leroux's rise to international prominence and subsequent eclipse. It is demonstrated that Leroux's standing within the English literary system rests predominantly on extant translations of his novels, without taking into account the cyclical quality of his fiction, especially the overarching nine-novel cycle – the basis of Leroux's renown in Afrikaans. The distortions produced by this fact are critiqued. In particular, the received idea of Leroux as an apolitical obscurantist is chal- lenged, the work of J.C.

Abstract Since the transition from apartheid, there has been much discussion of the possibilities for the emergence of a truly ‘national’ literature in South Africa. This thesis joins the debate by arguing that Black Consciousness, a movement that began in the late 1960s, provided the intellectual framework both for understanding how a national culture would develop and for recognising it when it emerged. Black Consciousness posited a South Africa where formerly competing cultures sat comfortably together. This thesis explores whether such cultural equality has been achieved. Does contemporary literature harmoniously deploy different cultural idioms simultaneously? By analysing Black writing, mainly poetry, from the 1970s through to the present, the study traces the stages of development preceding the emergence of a possible ‘national’ literature and argues that the dominant art versus politics binary needs to be reconsidered.

“Born Frees” and the Predicament of Being Young in Post- Apartheid South Africa
UCLA Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies Title Youth: “Born Frees” and the Predicament of Being Young in Post- Apartheid South Africa Permalink https://escholarship.org/uc/item/4n6485ww Journal Ufahamu: A Journal of African Studies, 38(1) ISSN 0041-5715 Author Mokoena, Hlonipha A. Publication Date 2014 DOI 10.5070/F7381025025 Peer reviewed eScholarship.org Powered by the California Digital Library University of California Youth: “Born Frees” and the Predicament of Being Young in Post-Apartheid South Africa1 Hlonipha A. Mokoena Abstract If South Africa’s intellectual history is defined in generational terms then it is possible to speak of a “generation gap” in the history of political and social ideas. Whereas in the 1940s, the elitist and qui- escent leadership of the African National Congress was jostled into action by the “Young Lions” of the Youth League; and whereas the literary opposition to apartheid was led from within the Afrikaner/ Afrikaans community by the Sestigers—“the Generation of the Sixties”—“youth” in South Africa today is not synonymous with political and philosophical innovation. This paper will explore the problems of “youthfulness” and “rejuvenation” in South African political thought by describing the ways in which the “Born Frees” could conceive an intellectual “manifesto,” as both an alternative to the post-apartheid “death of ideas” and as a revision of the his- toriography on “youth” that has been the foundation of narratives about the young since the 1976 Soweto uprising. Even philosophers are young men for a time. They must be born somewhere, some time and begin to think and write.

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).

Buitestander'': M
LitNet Akademies – Jaargang 5(3) – Desember 2008 Die meer ''beskeie'' opsies van ’n ''buitestander'': M. Nienaber-Luitingh in die Afrikaanse literêre sisteem H.P. van Coller en B.J. Odendaal Universiteit van die Vrystaat Abstract The more “modest” options of an “outsider”: M. Nienaber-Luitingh in the Afrikaans literary system A previous article (Van Coller and Odendaal, 2006) has shown that the “outsiders” of Dutch descent H.A. Mulder and Jan Greshoff were, for certain reasons, able to attain authoritative positions in the Afrikaans literary system. As poets and critics with a considerable reputation in the Dutch system, and regarded as representatives of what is considered to be an “authoritative” (colonial centre) system, they could also serve as patrons for pioneering authors (the writers of the Thirties; Etienne Leroux as one of the Sixties writers) in a young and new (previously colonial and peripheral) system. Furthermore, their associations with these pioneers, who soon gained canonical status in the Afrikaans system, contributed towards establishing their status in the Afrikaans system. But how does a foreigner, or an “outsider”, join a literary system like the Afrikaans one if he or she does not have the necessary literary authority and status from the start? In this study we want to focus exploratively on a person upon whom such a lot fell, namely M. Nienaber-Luitingh, who did her most important work as a literator at the University of Natal (now the University of KwaZulu-Natal) in Pietermaritzburg.

In Memoriam ANDRÉ PHILIPPUS BRINK (1935-2015)
Werkwinkel 10(1), 2015, pp. 7-9 © Department of Dutch and South African Studies Faculty of English, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland DOI: 10.1515/werk-2015-0001 In memoriam ANDRÉ PHILIPPUS BRINK (1935-2015) André Brink, born in 1935 in Vrede (Orange Free State), belonged to the genera- tion of Sestigers, along with Ingrid Jonker, Breyten Breytenbach, Jan Rabie, and Etienne Leroux, striving for a new experimental literature, writing freely about sexual themes, and using universal symbols and archetypes. Representative for the decade of the sixties are his experimental novels Lobola vir die lewe (Dowdry for Life, 1962), Die ambassadeur (The Ambassador, 1963), Orgie (Orgy, 1965), and Miskien nooit (Maybe Never, 1969), which are also a testimony of his strong inter- est in French existentialism. Brink summed up his French experience with the famous phrase: “I was born on a bench in the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris, in the early spring of 1960.” The next phase in Brink’s creative development, which began after the Soweto unrests in 1969, brought a certain change into his writing, typical for other writers of his generation. Brinks novels starting from Kennis van die aand (Looking on Darkness, 1973), the fi rst offi cially banned novel in Afrikaans, confronted and challenged the stern reality of a racially divided society. The publication ban encouraged Brink to write an English translation of his book, portraying an interracial relationship and denouncing the social injustice of apartheid policy. From then on, Brink’s prolifi c oeuvre was generated simultaneously in both languages, enabling the writer to reach a wider public, not only in South Africa, where his books were available through limited distribution, but also in Europe and worldwide.

A Close Reading and Comparison of Selected Poems by Ingrid Jonker and Sylvia Plath
A close reading and comparison of selected poems by Ingrid Jonker and Sylvia Plath by Maria Magdalena Thomas A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Arts in Literary Theory in the Department of Afrikaans at the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SUPERVISOR: Professor C.H.F. Ohlhoff November 2013 © University of Pretoria Maria M Thomas 2013 Abstract Following a close reading strategy, the research seeks to discover what the intratextual relations of each selected poem, three by Ingrid Jonker and three by Sylvia Plath, reveal. Flowing from the thematic overlaps that exist between the selected Jonker poems and Plath poems, it explores what similarities or differences in poetic form, the use of poetic devices and content, in other words intratextual relations, can be discovered via a comparison. Given that Jonker and Plath were contemporaries and shared biographical events, and after having considered and compared the intratextual relations of the selected poems, the research seeks to show what similarities or differences can be discovered in the exploration and comparison of the intertextual and extratextual relations of the selected poems. Thus, the thesis’ critical approach includes the close investigation of the structure of each of the selected poems, in order to discover its communication first, before delving into biographical, historical, social, political, and thematic approaches and interpretations. The research reveals that exercises of close reading, with a few exceptions, have not been the main focus in the discussion of either poet’s poetry. In other words, context has, for the most part, been favoured over text and over form.

The Muzzled Muse: Literature and Censorship in South Africa'
H-AfrLitCine Midgley on de Lange, 'The Muzzled Muse: Literature and Censorship in South Africa' Review published on Thursday, January 1, 1998 Margreet de Lange. The Muzzled Muse: Literature and Censorship in South Africa. Amsterdam and Philadelphia: John Benjamins Publishing Company, 1997. xii + 181. $149.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-1-55619-431-3. Reviewed by Peter Midgley (Department of English, University of Alberta)Published on H- AfrLitCine (January, 1998) Useful Book Hampered by Crucial Shortcomings Although the title of the book accurately reflects the author's intentions in writing this book, a more fitting title for the content might have been The Haltered Muse, as the effect of the book is largely contained by its inability to fully address certain crucial issues. Still, it is an important book which raises a number of interesting issues in South African literature. The author defines her objectives very clearly at the start of each chapter and methodically attempts to address each of these issues--with varying degrees of success. The introduction adeptly covers the major concerns of the book and outlines the relationship between censor and writer in South Africa well. The first chapter deals directly with censorship and the Publications Act. From this point onward, the process is rather formulaic: a chapter on the relationship between Afrikaans literature and censorship, followed by a discussion of four specific instances in which authors reacted in different ways to the pressure of the censor; the relationship between White English literature and censorship, followed by a less successful discussion of the strategies employed by the writers in this category.
