Nou kom twee van die leermeesters, Ingrid Winterbach en Kerneels Breytenbach, en Frederik bymekaar om deur die loop van een dag ’n klein groepie voornemende skrywers deur middel van wyse raad en praktiese oefeninge in fiksie skryf ’n paar basiese beginsels te leer. 6 Maart 08:30 vir 09:00 Middagete, koffie en tee ingesluit 7 ure | Lanzerac R850 middagete ingesluit Versfort Poësie Met o.a. gepubliseerde digters, Penseel se studentedigters, en Wellington se Mengelmoes-digters as voorlesers Onthou jy nog jou kinderfort met lakens, komberse, kussings of ‟n slaapsak? Met ‟n kopknik na Breyten Breytenbach wat 60 jaar gelede as een van die Sestigers Afrikaanse digkuns op sy kop gekeer het, kan jy nou in so ‟n nuut verbeelde “versfort” inkruip om nie net na gedigvoorlesings te luister nie, maar ook van jou eie gedigte voor te lees as jy ‟n middernagtelike skriba is – en selfs afskrifte van jou gedigte in die “fort” te los vir ander om te lees. Jy‟s ook welkom om ‟n gedig van jou eie keuse saam te bring, of ‟n bundel waaruit jy graag iets voorgelees wil hoor. Kom ontspan met die skoonheid van woorde al om jou in ‟n klein, intieme ruimte. En as niemand voorlees nie, kan jy in stilte sit en lees uit die bundels in die “fort”. 6, 7, 12, 13 Maart 09:00-12:00, 14:00-16:00 45 min | Tussen Boektent en Boek-Oase Gratis Willie Esterhuyse: Oorlog en vrede Niefiksie In gesprek met Moeletsi Mbeki Aangebied deur Naledi Hoe maak ‟n mens ‟n vriend van jou vyand? In sy jongste boek, Oorlog en vrede, ondersoek Willie Esterhuyse die eeue oue strydvraag of die mens (veral mans!) van nature magsugtig en gewelddadig is, en of dit aangeleerde gedrag is. En as die mens van nature gewelddadig is, hoe is dit moontlik om vrede tussen vyande te bewerkstellig? Hy argumenteer die mens het ‟n morele verbeelding wat hom die droom van vrede laat bevorder. 6 Maart 11:00 60 min | Boektent R65 | R85 by die deur Taal: Engels en Afrikaans Jan Rabie: ‘21’ sluit die deure oop Sestig ná ‘60 Met Andries Visagie, Steward van Wyk en MC Botha Aangebied deur die US Dokumentesentrum Andries Visagie, Steward van Wyk en MC Botha gesels oor die werk en lewe van ons eie Sestiger- “strandloper”, Jan Rabie, wie se baanbrekersversameling kortverhale, 21, in 1956 die sleutel was wat die grensverskuiwende Sestigers-beweging in Afrikaans sou oopsluit. Jan en sy Skotse kunstenaarsvrou, Marjorie Wallace, se huis op Onrus was ‟n tweede tuiste vir baie skrywers, soos Uys Krige, Breyten Breytenbach en André P. Brink. Na die gesprek kan gaste die omvattende versameling van Jan se manuskripte, aantekeningboeke, briewe, foto‟s en persoonlike dagboeke bekyk. 6 Maart 12:00 60 min gesprek | JS Gericke-ouditorium R65 | R85 by die deur Wreed én mooi is die dood Essays Met Tobie Wiese as gesprekleier Aangebied deur Jonathan Ball Publishers Met sy versameling stories oor die belewenis van die dood, het Wreed én mooi is die dood mense aangegryp.

Almero Oosthuizen, ‟n spesialis in noodmedisyne, en Wilhelmina Prins, ‟n pleegmoeder oor baie jare, oor trauma as deel van die doodsbelewenis – hetsy deur ‟n geliefde se langdurige lyding of geweld. 6 Maart 12:30 60 min | Boektent R65 | R85 by die deur Leopold Scholtz: Cuito ‘gedeklassifiseer’ Geskiedenis Leopold Scholtz, in gesprek met Abel Esterhuyse en Roland de Vries Aangebied deur Jonathan Ball Publishers Die bloedige gevegte om die klein Angolese dorpie Cuito Cuanavale in 1987/‟88 is steeds omstrede omdat albei kante vas glo hulle het die groter geveg gewen. In Die SAW en Cuito Cuanavale: ’n Taktiese en strategiese analise ondersoek Leopold die ware strategiese en taktiese doelwitte van die SAW op grond van onlangs gedeklassifiseerde inligting, en bespreek sy bevindings met Abel Esterhuyse en oud-genl. Roland de Vries. 6 Maart 14:00 60 min | Boektent R65 | R85 by die deur Boosheid in ’n vrou se hand Misdaadfiksie Anel Heydenrych, Carla van der Spuy en René van Zyl gesels met Jono Amid Aangebied deur Penguin Random House, Tafelberg en Wenkbrou Wat gebeur met ‟n vrou wanneer sy aan geweld blootgestel was? Jono Amid soek antwoorde by twee opwindende vroue-misdaadromanskrywers en ‟n niefiksieskrywer wat vir een van haar boeke met verskeie vrouemoordenaars gesels het. TV- en radiojoernalis Anel Heydenrych het vir Die afloerder, haar nuwe sielkundige riller ná Malhuis, in die kop geklim van ‟n psigopaat, terwyl pastoriemoeder René van Zyl in Die Alfa-dokument ‟n wêreld skep waar onnoemlikhede in die naam van godsdiens gepleeg word. Hulle deel hulle ervaring met Carla van der Spuy, skrywer van Bloed op haar hande en die meer onlangse Liefde agter tralies. 6 Maart 15:30 60 min | Boektent R65 | R85 by die deur Taal: Afrikaans Muckrakers or Watchdogs In die nuus Jacques Pauw gesels met Pieter-Louis Myburgh, Pauli van Wyk en Foeta Krige Aangebied deur Penguin Random House Jacques Pauw praat met drie bekende joernaliste, die bekroonde Pieter-Louis Myburgh (Gangster State: Unravelling Ace Magashule’s Web of Capture), amaBhungane se Pauli van Wyk en Foeta Krige (The SABC8) oor die noodsaaklike, maar al hoe gevaarliker en moeiliker werk van ondersoekende joernaliste in ‟n era van toenemende korrupsie en fopnuus, en wonder hoeveel van ‟n verskil ‟n joernalis kán maak. 6 Maart 17:00 60 min | Boektent R65 | R85 by die deur Taal: Afrikaans en Engels 7 Maart Saterdag Versfort Poësie Met o.a. gepubliseerde digters, Penseel se studentedigters, en Wellington se Mengelmoes-digters as voorlesers Onthou jy nog jou kinderfort met lakens, komberse, kussings of ‟n slaapsak?

Dertien jaar gelede het Bosasa (vandag African Global Operations) Adriaan se navrae begroet met intimidasie, dreigemente en dagvaardings. Sedertdien het hulle talle hooggeplaaste regeringsamptenare ge“seën” met van braaipakke tot biljoene en al hoe magtiger geword. Maar in 2019 is die maatskappy as een van die grootste verdagtes in staatskaping ontmasker – deur een van hul eie mense, Agrizzi. Die twee gesels met Jacques Pauw, wat met The President’s Keepers ‟n internasionale blitsverkoper oor staatskaping opgelewer het. 7 Maart 11:00 60 min | Boektent R65 | R85 by die deur Taal: Engels en Afrikaans Toyota US Woordfeeskortverhaalbundel Aangebied deur kykNET, Toyota US Woordfees en Du Toitskloof Wyne Met Suzette Kotze-Myburgh as gesprekleier Die vyfde Toyota US Woordfeeskortverhaalbundel het pas die lig gesien – ‟n jaarlikse instelling waarvoor onbekende én gevestigde skrywers se verhale naamloos vir publikasie gekeur word. Publikasie beteken boonop ‟n stewige sommetjie geld, of om jou boek as kortfliek by die kykNET Silwerskermfees te sien! Suzette Kotzé-Myburgh gesels met vanjaar se wenner en Michèle Meyer, wat in 2017 die eerste fliekprys gewen het, terwyl 2020 se Cliffordene Norton en twee “ouhande” soos Rudie van Rensburg en Gerda Taljaard van hul ervaring vertel en voorlees. ‟n Glasie wyn is ingesluit. 7 Maart 12:00 60 min | Adam Small-seminaarkamer R65 | R85 by die deur Ramaphosa’s Long Game In die nuus Cheryl Carolus, Anthony Butler en Ralph Mathekga gesels met Adriaan Basson Aangebied deur Jacana Media Ons president is by ‟n kruispad wat verreikende gevolge vir die land kan hê.

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.

  • And the Predicament of Being Young in Post-Apartheid South Africa1
    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. .it is impossible to choose one’s beginnings. (Althusser 2005, 63-64) Children scratch sores—sleep / bitten by the tsetse flies of Soweto / of June 16. (van Wyk 1986, 49) The two epigraphs above hint at the core presupposition of this paper, namely that the history of South African political thought cannot be written without considering how the country’s writers and thinkers were once young people.

  • Mind Your Colour the 'Coloured'
    Mind Your Colour The 'Coloured' Stereotype in South African Literature Vernon February bron Vernon February, Mind Your Colour. The 'Coloured' Stereotype in South African Literature. Kegan Paul International, Londen / Boston 1981 Zie voor verantwoording: http://www.dbnl.org/tekst/febr002mind01_01/colofon.php © 2014 dbnl / erven Vernon February vi Preface This book is essentially about stereotypes as found in the literature and culture of South Africa. It deals specifically with those people referred to in the South African racial legislation as ‘coloureds’. The book is also an illustration of the way in which stereotypes function as a means of social control and repression. One of the direct consequences of colonialism and racism is that the colonized or the discriminated invariably become the dupe of a series of rationalizations whereby the power-holders (i.e., the whites) justify their dominant position in society. Balandier, the French scholar, has given ample demonstration of this phenomenon as it operated in the former French colonies in West Africa and the Antilles. Here, the major channels of imposing French values were the French administrative officials and expatriates in the colonies, the school system and the policy of assimilation. Such a policy led to a reverence for the metropolis, Paris, an over-evaluation of French customs and norms, and a rejection of their own culture. This illusion was soon dispelled the moment the colonized set foot in France. Most blacks discovered that they were still looked upon as le nègre, even by the lowest of Frenchmen. The Dutch economic historian, D. van Arkel, has, on the basis of his work on the Austrian Jews, come to the conclusion that stereotypes arise when the following conditions are fulfilled: (1) there must be stigmatization, (2) social distance and (3) terrorization.

  • Theunie Van Der Merwe Taalfliensburo, RAU TIPERING AS LITERATUURWETENSKAPLIKE BESKRYWINGSMETODE* 2. Wat Is 'N Wetenskaplike Be
    Theunie van der Merwe Taalfliensburo, RAU TIPERING AS LITERATUURWETENSKAPLIKE BESKRYWINGSMETODE* ’« Tiperingsprobleviatiek Uit die lees van resensies en literêre beskouinge van die afgelope twee tot driedekades blyk dit dat resensenleen kritici ’n probieem ondervind orn die moderne Alrikaanse kort prosastuk te tipeer. Waar Afrikaanse kort piosa- stukkc voor die verskyning van 21 van Jan Rabie in 1956, inaklik as “kortverliaal”, “skets”, “essay” of “novelle” getipeer kon word, is dii blykbaar deesdae al nioeiliker om hulle te kategoriseer. Chris Barnard (1973:91) voer ’n nioontlike rede hiervoor aan as hy sê: “Die vorm het vloeibaardergeword ... die grondstof (het) in die meeste gevalle verander.” Dit wil voorkoni ol'daar vaiidag, in teenstelling met ’n paar dekades gelede, op ’n ander manier na die kortverhaal as sodanig verwys word. Na aanleiding hiervan word niiwe tiperinge gebruik. Wanneer ’n mens ondersoek instel na die tiperinge van die kortverhaal, moet ook aandag aan die genologie gegee word, want die verskiliende tiperinge wat gebruik word, asook die twyfel by skrywers, resensente en literatore oor hoe kortverhale getipeer behoort te word, laat die volgende vrae ontstaan: Dili die verskiliende tiperinge op ’n nnwe genologiese indeling? Wat is die verskil tussen tipering en genologie? Indien daar nie sprakc son wees van genologiese indeling nie, waarop dni die verskiliende tiperinge dan? Alvorens hierdie vrae beantwoord kan word, moet die verskiliende aspekte van ti|)ering as ’n wetenskaplike beskrywingsmetode in oenskou geneem word aan die hand van relevante literatuiir. 2. Wat is ’n wetenskaplike beskrywingsmetode? Wanneer’n mens werk met tipering as wetenskaplike beskrywingsmetode, is dit van die iiiterste belang om te besin oor wat wetenskap is en oor wat ’n metode is.

  • 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 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.

  • Ingrid Jonker: to Escape from the Concealing Image
    Ingrid Jonker: To Escape from the Concealing Image Lesley Marx, July 2019 “She was difficult and complicated, but enchanting.” Suzanne Fox1 Opdrag (1999) In his eloquent homage to Ingrid Jonker, Jack Cope writes that “[n]o group or category, no academically cold classification can be fitted to her. Ingrid Jonker escapes from the concealing image and will not be taken possession of or harnessed to any creed or cause save those of poetry and life”(1966, 12). But of course the attempt has been made to harness her, attempts rapidly accelerated after Nelson Mandela’s landmark tribute to her during his inaugural address to the first democratic South African parliament in 1994: The time will come when our nation will honour the memory of all the sons, the daughters, the mothers, the fathers, the youth and the children who, by their thoughts and deeds, gave us the right to assert with pride that we are South Africans, that we are Africans and that we are citizens of the world. 1 The certainties that come with age tell me that among these we shall find an Afrikaner woman who transcended a particular experience and became a South African, an African and a citizen of the world. Her name is Ingrid Jonker. She was both a poet and a South African. She was both an Afrikaner and an African. She was both an artist and a human being. In the midst of despair, she celebrated hope. Confronted with death, she asserted the beauty of life. In the dark days when all seemed hopeless in our country, when many refused to hear her resonant voice, she took her own life.
