South Africa: Afrikaans Film and the Imagined Boundaries of Afrikanerdom A new laager for a “new” South Africa: Afrikaans film and the imagined boundaries of Afrikanerdom Adriaan Stefanus Steyn Thesis presented in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Social Anthropology in the faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Stellenbosch University Supervisor: Dr Bernard Dubbeld Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology December 2016 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. December 2016 Copyright © 2016 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract The Afrikaans film industry came into existence in 1916, with the commercial release of De Voortrekkers (Shaw), and, after 1948, flourished under the guardianship of the National Party. South Africa’s democratic transition, however, seemed to announce the death of the Afrikaans film. In 1998, the industry entered a nine-year slump during which not a single Afrikaans film was released on the commercial circuit. Yet, in 2007, the industry was revived and has been expanding rapidly ever since. This study is an attempt to explain the Afrikaans film industry’s recent success and also to consider some of its consequences. To do this, I situate the Afrikaans film industry within a larger – and equally flourishing – Afrikaans culture industry. I argue that the Afrikaans language’s uncoupling from the state has shifted the preservation and promotion of the language into market-driven domains. I show that Afrikaans-language media and cultural commodities – like film – are mostly tailored to and consumed by white Afrikaans-speakers. And I ask: if a “distinct” Afrikaner identity was first forged within the cultural sphere, through cultural rituals and through the consumption of Afrikaans media forms, what kind of subjectivities are, in the present moment, being produced by the Afrikaans culture industry? Specifically, I consider the ways in which the Afrikaans culture industry is reifying social life, how it is reaffirming the imagined boundaries of Afrikanerdom, and how, through the consumption of its products, Afrikaners can imagine – or re-imagine – themselves as members of the same collectivity or laager. Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Opsomming Die Afrikaanse rolprentbedryf het ontstaan in 1916, met die kommersiële vrystelling van De Voortrekkers (Shaw) en het, na 1948, floreer onder the voogdyskap van die Nasionale Party. Tydens Suid-Afrika se demokratiese oorgang het dit egter gelyk of die dood van die Afrikaanse film op hande was. In 1998 het die industrie ’n nege-jaar periode binne getree waartydens nie ’n enkele Afrikaanse film op die kommersiële kringloop vrygestel is nie. Maar in 2007 het die Afrikaanse film teruggekeer na die silwerskerm en die Afrikaanse rolprentbedryf het, sedertdien, vinnig uitgebrei. Hierdie studie is ’n poging om die Afrikaanse rolprentbedryf se onlangse sukses te verduidelik ek ook om die gevolge daarvan te oorweeg. Om dit te doen, plaas ek die Afrikaanse rolprentbedryf binne ’n groter – en ewe florerende – Afrikaanse kultuurindustrie. Ek voer aan dat die Afrikaanse taal se ontkoppeling van die staat aanleiding daartoe gegee het dat die preservering en bevordering van die taal na markgedrewe domeine verskuif het. Ek wys uit dat Afrikaanstalige media en kulturele kommoditeite – soos film – meestal geproduseer word vir en verbruik word deur blanke Afrikaanssprekendes. En ek vra: as ’n “unieke” Afrikaner-identiteit vir die eerste keer binne die kulturele sfeer gesmee is, deur kulturele rituele en deur die verbruik van Afrikaanse media vorms, watse subjektiwiteite word, in die hede, geproduseer deur die Afrikaanse kultuurindustrie? Ek oorweeg spesifiek die wyses waarop die Afrikaanse kultuurindustrie sosiale lewe reïfiseer, hoe dit die verbeelde grense van Afrikanerdom herbevestig, en hoe, deur die verbruik van die industrie se produkte, Afrikaners hulself kan verbeel – of herverbeel – as lede van dieselfde kollektiwiteit of laer.

While this industry flourished under the apartheid state’s extensive subsidy scheme – with sometimes more than ten films released within a single year – South Africa’s democratic transition and the subsequent rescinding of the subsidy scheme seemed to announce the Afrikaans film’s death. Only three Afrikaans-language feature films1 were produced between 1994 and 1998, appearing to signal the end of Afrikaans filmmaking. Not a single Afrikaans film was released on the mainstream circuit for the following nine years. And then the Afrikaans film made its unexpected return to the silver screen in 2007. Managing to find – or to produce – an audience for its films, this industry began to burgeon, attracting a substantial 1 I classify Afrikaans-language films as all films of which the vast majority of dialogue is in Afrikaans. Although I refer to some bilingual films in this text, I do not regard them as Afrikaans-language films per se. In addition, for the purpose of this study, I use the term “Afrikaans films” to include all Afrikaans feature- length films that have been released on the mainstream commercial circuit, excluding documentaries and films dubbed into Afrikaans. 1 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za number of directors, producers, funders and other stakeholders. Between 2007 and 2015, a total of 61 Afrikaans feature films were released on the mainstream circuit at a rate akin to the heyday of apartheid. The vast majority of these films have been tailored to the imagined needs and expectations of, marketed to, and consumed by white Afrikaans-speakers – Afrikaners2 (as I show in Chapter 3). This, despite the fact that Afrikaners only make up about 40% 3 of all Afrikaans-speakers. In addition, the Afrikaans film industry is only one element within a much larger – and equally thriving – Afrikaans culture industry, also mostly patronized by Afrikaners. Here, I use the term “culture industry”, coined by Adorno and Horkheimer (1972 [1944]), to include all commercial media and cultural forms, and all the commercial products of art and 2 For the purpose of this study, I use the term “Afrikaners” to denote white people who speak Afrikaans as a first language. I am well-aware that such a categorization is and has always been slippery. What, for example, should the test be to determine whiteness? In addition, some “Afrikaners” choose to distance themselves from any identification with “other” Afrikaners or with some form of “Afrikaner identity”, while other “Afrikaners”, in their everyday lives, speak little or no Afrikaans. This does not, however, take anything away from the fact that many – and possibly even the majority of – Afrikaners today consider themselves members of an Afrikaner community with its own cultural identity and heritage. For the purpose of this study, thus, I admit to the fact that Afrikaners are a diverse group of people with no unique essence and when I make claims about Afrikaners, in the present or in the past, I do not wish to generalize these claims to all Afrikaners. I am also cognisant of the fact that such claims can apply in different ways and to different degrees to different Afrikaners. By reserving the term “Afrikaners” for whites, I am also opposing a popular movement to use the term to signify all Afrikaans-speakers (i.e. Van Blerk 2015). Already in the 1960s, members of a group of Afrikaans writers, the so-called Sestigers [Sixtiers], demanded that the term be cleansed of its racial connotations and used to refer to all Afrikaans-speakers (Giliomee 1975, 30).

Receive and File. Fiscal and Financial Impacts There are no fiscal impacts to receiving the annual investment manager proxy voting reports as an informational item. Background and Discussion Prior to February 2003 FCERA had contracted with International Shareholder Services (ISS) to provide proxy voting services in order to exercise the right on behalf of the Board to respond timely and accurately to domestic and international proxy voting requests with the focus on maximizing shareholder value. At the February 5, 2003 Board of Retirement meeting, the Board voted unanimously to allow the ISS contract to expire and to allocate the responsibility of proxy voting to the investment managers as these services were already available under the normal management fee structure. The Board’s decision saves approximately $50,000 annually. As a result of the shift in responsibility of proxy voting to the investment managers, the Investment Policy Statement was revised and now states the Board’s authority in this area and sets the expectation for the proxy voting process by the investment managers. In keeping with the Board’s Investment Policy Statement, FCERA staff has obtained the proxy voting records of our current domestic and international equity managers. Attached for your review is the most recent proxy voting reports for the following equity managers: AJO, Artisan, Mondrian Emerging, Mondrian International, PIMCO Stocks Plus, Research Affiliates and T.

  • The Gordian Knot: Apartheid & the Unmaking of the Liberal World Order, 1960-1970
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: APARTHEID & THE UNMAKING OF THE LIBERAL WORLD ORDER, 1960-1970 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Ryan Irwin, B.A., M.A. History ***** The Ohio State University 2010 Dissertation Committee: Professor Peter Hahn Professor Robert McMahon Professor Kevin Boyle Professor Martha van Wyk © 2010 by Ryan Irwin All rights reserved. ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the apartheid debate from an international perspective. Positioned at the methodological intersection of intellectual and diplomatic history, it examines how, where, and why African nationalists, Afrikaner nationalists, and American liberals contested South Africa’s place in the global community in the 1960s. It uses this fight to explore the contradictions of international politics in the decade after second-wave decolonization. The apartheid debate was never at the center of global affairs in this period, but it rallied international opinions in ways that attached particular meanings to concepts of development, order, justice, and freedom. As such, the debate about South Africa provides a microcosm of the larger postcolonial moment, exposing the deep-seated differences between politicians and policymakers in the First and Third Worlds, as well as the paradoxical nature of change in the late twentieth century. This dissertation tells three interlocking stories. First, it charts the rise and fall of African nationalism. For a brief yet important moment in the early and mid-1960s, African nationalists felt genuinely that they could remake global norms in Africa’s image and abolish the ideology of white supremacy through U.N.

Dit was ‘n geskiedkundige jaar in die sin dat Aus-Brokkies ewe beskeie uit Nieu-Seeland se BROKKIES (wat toe reeds vir 15 jaar lank bestaan het) gebore is. So het die twee susterspublikasies ontstaan: Aus-Brokkies en Kiwi-Brokkies. Dit was die verwesenliking van ‘n droom vir my. Ons het nou ook vir die soveelste keer die voorreg om Kersfees te vier, en spesifiek die herdenking van die geboorte van ons Verlosser Jesus Christus, die Goeie Nuus wat soveel eeue lank deur profete voorspel is. Baie mense in hierdie deurmekaar wêreld erken Homs slegs as mens. Hulle is ten minste eerlik oor die emmers vol historiese getuienis (ook buite-Bybels) dat Hy wel bestaan het. Hulle het egter vir hulself ‘n versperring opgerig by die kwessie of Hy wel die dood oorwin het en of Hy God in mensgestalte was. As Jesus nie na sy Kruisdood opgestaan het nie, was hy slegs ‘n goeie mens. Indien Hy egter wel uit die dood opgestaan het, verdien dit dieper besinning – vir ons eie siel se onthalwe. Uit sy Woord leer ons dat Hy elke persoon geskep het met ‘n diepliggende kennis van Hom. Hy sê elke mens weet dat God bestaan, hoewel dit dikwels ten sterkste deur mense betwis word.

  • THE UNITED STATES and SOUTH AFRICA in the NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This Thesis Examines Relat
    ABSTRACT THE SIN OF OMISSION: THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH AFRICA IN THE NIXON YEARS by Eric J. Morgan This thesis examines relations between the United States and South Africa during Richard Nixon’s first presidential administration. While South Africa was not crucial to Nixon’s foreign policy, the racially-divided nation offered the United States a stabile economic partner and ally against communism on the otherwise chaotic post-colonial African continent. Nixon strengthened relations with the white minority government by quietly lifting sanctions, increasing economic and cultural ties, and improving communications between Washington and Pretoria. However, while Nixon’s policy was shortsighted and hypocritical, the Afrikaner government remained suspicious, believing that the Nixon administration continued to interfere in South Africa’s domestic affairs despite its new policy relaxations. The Nixon administration concluded that change in South Africa could only be achieved through the Afrikaner government, and therefore ignored black South Africans. Nixon’s indifference strengthened apartheid and hindered liberation efforts, helping to delay black South African freedom for nearly two decades beyond his presidency.
