Of recent years, particularly, their popular verdicts have been based upon their own independent judg- ment, and some of these verdicts have afterwards been accepted by the whole world. They were the first to "discover" Sienkiewicz. They did not accept him on the claims of French, or Ger- man, or English criticism. By their own native perception they knew he was great, and now the whole world has accepted their judgment.

Lambrechts Co-supervisor: Dr. C. J. P. Fransch March 2020 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Declaration 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. Ashrudeen Waggie March 2020 Copyright © 2020 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract In 1968 the United Nations General Assembly instituted a cultural boycott against apartheid South Africa. The cultural boycott prevented South Africa from having cultural, educational and sporting ties with the rest of the world, and it was an attempt by the international community to sever ties with South Africa. A culmination of this strategy was the publication of an annual registry by the United Nations of all international entertainers, actors, and others who performed in South Africa from 1983. Based on this registry a number of academic studies have been conducted, but very few studies have investigated those who came to perform in South Africa before the publication of the registry even though renowned artists such as Percy Sledge (1970), Brook Benton (1971 & 1982), Jimmy Smith (1978 & 1982) and Isaac Hayes (1978) performed in South Africa during this time.

    Diaries of Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920 Diaries of Helen Annie Benker Obst 1918 and 1920 Helen Benker Obst Helen Annie Benker was born on February 21, 1898 to Hermann Franz Benker and Anna Hirsch Benker. Hermann came from Meerane of Saxony, Germany and Anna from Gera of Thuringia, Germany. Hermann’s and Anna’s fathers had both been weavers. No dates have been found when Hermann arrived in the US but he first went to St. Joseph, Missouri before moving to Lawrence for work as a weaver in the wool mills. Anna Hirsch at age 17 arrived with her family in New York on August 14, 1891 on the ship SS Taormina. She met Hermann Benker in Lawrence and they were married on March 11, 1897. Helen was baptized “Nellie”. When she started 1st grade in public school, the teacher told her that Nellie was a nickname and she had to choose between Helen and Ellen. Her parents told her it was her choice, so she named herself “Helen”. But many friends still thought of her as Nellie. She lived the first 11 years of her life at 66 Alston St. Lawrence, MA. Graduated from Allgemeine Deutsche Schule in 1910 In 1910, Helen’s parents built a 3 family house at 199 East Haverhill St. Lawrence. Helen was to spend the rest of her childhood and all of her married life there and died in her bed at this address. Graduated from John R Rollins grammar school in 1911 Graduated from Lawrence Evening High School in 1914.

  • Polish Katarzyna DZIUBALSKA-KOŁACZYK and 1 Bogdan WALCZAK ( )
    Polish Katarzyna DZIUBALSKA-KOŁACZYK and 1 Bogdan WALCZAK ( ) 1. The identity 1.1. The name In the 10th century, individual West Slavic languages were differentiated from the western group, Polish among others. The name of the language comes from the name of a tribe of Polans (Polanie) who inhabited the midlands of the river Warta around Gniezno and Poznań, and whose tribal state later became the germ of the Polish state. Etymologically, Polanie means ‘the inhabitants of fields’. The Latin sources provide also other forms of the word: Polanii, Polonii, Poloni (at the turn of the 10th and 11th century king Bolesław Chrobry was referred to as dux Poloniorum in The Life of St. Adalbert [Żywot św. Wojciecha]) (cf. Klemensiewicz : 1961-1972). 1.2. The family affiliation 1.2.1. Origin The Polish language is most closely related to the extinct Polabian- Pomeranian dialects (whose only live representative is Kashubian) and together with them is classified by Slavicists into the West Lechitic subgroup of the Slavic languages. It is less closely related to the remaining West Slavic languages, i.e. Slovak, Czech and High- and Low Sorbian, and still less closely to the East and (1) Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk (School of English at Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań) is Professor of English linguistics and Head of the School. She has published extensively on phonology and phonetics, first and second language acquisition and morphology, in all the areas emphasizing the contrastive aspect (especially with Polish, but also other languages, e.g. German, Italian). She has taught Polish linguistics at the University of Vienna.
