5 UCT BOOK AWARD (CONTINUED)

The book award for 2017 is to be awarded to:

David Chidester Empire of Religion: Imperialism and Comparative Religion

Empire of Religion: Imperialism and Comparative Religion (University of Chicago Press, 2014) provides a new history of the study of religion that locates knowledge about religion and religions within the power relations of imperial ambitions, colonial situations, and indigenous innovations. The book uncovers the material mediations— imperial, colonial, and indigenous—in which knowledge about religion was produced during the rise of an academic study of religion between the 1870s and the 1920s in Europe and North America.

Focusing on one colonial contact zone, South Africa, as a crucial site of interaction, the book shows how imperial theorists such as Friedrich Max Müller, EB Tylor, Andrew Lang, and James Frazer depended upon the raw materials provided by colonial middlemen who in turn depended upon indigenous informants and collaborators who were undergoing colonisation. Reversing the flow of knowledge production, African theorists such as WEB Du Bois, SM Molema, and HIE Dhlomo turned European imperial theorists of religion into informants in pursuing their own intellectual projects.

By developing a material history of the study of religion, Empire of Religion documents the importance of African religion, the persistence of the conceptual divide between savagery and civilization, and the salience of complex mediations in which knowledge about religion and religions was produced, authenticated, and circulated within imperial comparative religion.

Reviewers have described Empire of Religion as “game-changing” and “essential,” as “lucid and powerful,” as “reminding us of the materiality, multiple meanings, and power relations of cultural encounters in Africa.” Empire of Religion was a finalist for the American Academy of Religion’s Award for Excellence in Religious Studies and the Society for the Anthropology of Religion‘s Clifford Geertz Prize. Today it receives the highest recognition from the University of Cape Town, the UCT Book Award.

MERITORIOUS PUBLICATION AWARD

The University Meritorious Publication Awards recognises noteworthy monographs and books published by UCT authors. These publications merit recognition for their contribution to learning and scholarship.

A Perfect Storm: Antisemitism in South Africa 1930-1948 by Emeritus Professor Milton Shain

6 THE UNIVERSITY CREATIVE WORKS AWARD

The University Creative Works Award recognises the production of outstanding and/or influential creative works (art works, performances, productions, compositions, architectural design) that make a scholarly contribution.

Francois du Toit ‘The Five Beethoven Concertii with the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra’

Francois du Toit is an Associate Professor at the South African College of Music, UCT and a nationally and internationally acclaimed concert pianist. He is the recipient of numerous awards and prizes and is in demand as a pedagogue, performer and juror throughout South Africa.

Being approached by the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra to perform all five Beethoven concertos on two successive nights was a daunting challenge, but also the realisation of a lifelong dream. The five concertos represent the journey that Beethoven undertook as a composer and revolutionary in music, mirroring the times in history. Throughout history, music has proven to be a universal language and to have the ability to draw people from all cultures together. In the words of the eminent conductor, Dr. Bernhard Gueller: “There is something greater than life, that it means something to be a human…and great art, especially great music, gives us a glimpse of it.”

In many ways music is apolitical. To give examples of this, the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra of Daniel Barenboim comprises musicians from various Middle Eastern countries such as Egypt, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. The aim of this orchestra is to promote understanding and tolerance between different cultures performing the works of great composers including Beethoven. Also, at the darkest times of the blitz in London during the 2nd World War, Dame Myra Hess performed Beethoven Sonatas in the basement of the National Gallery to audiences from all walks of life. Classical music at the College of Music has bridged the diversity of all the students’ backgrounds and it continues to enrich everyone’s lives with its universal message. For many it is a rediscovered tradition. In life the negative exists for the positive to shine through and rarely is it more true than in music. The performances of the Beethoven concerti were a collaboration between a Russian conductor, a truly South African orchestra, a local television studio and Francois du Toit. Even though these concerti have been in existence for over 200 years, to every artist they are initially a compilation of black dots on a page that need to be dissected, researched and interpreted. In the words of Beethoven: “Don’t only practise your art, but force your way into its secrets, for it and knowledge can raise men to the divine.”

7 HONORARY DEGREE

Abdurrazak ‘Zackie’ Achmat Doctor of Laws (honoris causa)

Zackie Achmat has devoted his life to fighting social injustice and discrimination.

Through his work at the AIDS Law Project and his role as co-founder (and, later, director) of the National Coalition for Gay and Lesbian Equality (NCGLE), Achmat was involved in a number of cases from the mid- 1990s onwards that first established, and then enforced, the constitutional rights of gay and lesbian people in South Africa. In 1995, an interdict was secured preventing the police from harassment on the grounds of sexual orientation. Subsequent legal victories followed, including the decriminalisation of gay sex; ensuring that same- sex couples were not discriminated against in their access to medical aid and pension benefits, or denied rights to permanent residence.

The next phase of Zackie Achmat’s social activism commenced with the formation of the Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), which he co-founded in 1998. The TAC fought for, and won, a series of cases that compelled the government to provide treatment for people infected with HIV/AIDS, and to provide nevirapine to HIV- positive pregnant women. It has been estimated that the original failure to provide these treatments resulted in the avoidably premature deaths of more than 300 000 South Africans. The TAC finally resulted in the government antiretroviral treatment programme now being the world’s largest, with more than 3 million South Africans currently on treatment. Having secured the roll-out of treatment, the TAC played an important role in monitoring of clinics to ensure that those on treatment were able to receive their medication.

In more recent years, Zackie Achmat has channelled his activism in new directions, playing a formative role in the establishment of cause-specific social justice-oriented NGOs such as Equal Education and Ndifuna Ukwazi, with foci on school and sanitation infrastructure.

Throughout, Zackie Achmat has combined clever use of the law with mass-based activism to hold national, provincial, and local layers of government to account in meeting the legitimate demands of the poor, the marginalised, and the voiceless.

Zackie Achmat’s life work is an embodiment of UCT’s values which seeks the fostering of an institutional culture that protects and advances the transformative values of the Constitution, and promotes a more equitable and just society based on respect for human rights and human dignity.

60 Welcome, Wamkelekile, Welkom – today is not the end of your relationship with the university but the beginning of a new phase in your continuing relationship with UCT, one that you share with the UCT community of over 100 000 alumni. Diverse as this community is, the shared experiences of a critical academic ethos and a spectacular campus make for a strong network that has a wide footprint, not only in South Africa, but across the continent and the globe.

We set a great store by our links with our alumni, and indeed the links alumni have with each other. We promise that we will be in touch, and ask you in turn to let us know not only your current contact details but also, from time to time, something of your lives and where you are in your careers.

Updates can be done on the web – http://www.uct.ac.za/dad/alumni/update/ - or by writing to the Alumni Office, UCT, PB X3 Rondebosch 7701 or by contacting us on (27) (21) 650 3746.

Your alma mater looks forward to welcoming you back, whether to a public lecture, a leadership forum, your class reunion, or just an informal call!
