Historic Cape Town launch of united front FORWARD ATOGETHER j ONE OF THE biggest political rallies ever to be held inside-South Africa has condemned the support which Britain and the United States give to the apartheid regie as 'unashamedly greedy asd callous'. The United Democratic Front (UDF), launch1 d in Cape Town over the weekend 20/2,1 August, further warned that such collaboration 'cannot stop us in our march towards freedom'. The huge numbers of people (nsre than 2,000) who poured into the Rocklands Civic Centre in Mitehells Plain, Cape Town, over the weekend, and the diverse range of organisations represented (400 from all over South Africa), turned the UDF inaugural rally into an occasion comparable to the Kliptown Congress of the People in 1955. The Kliptown Congress adopted the Freedom Charter - today the guiding inspirution for the UDF, as it is for the African National Congress itself. The United Democratic Front has made it clear that it does not iniend or purport to be a substitute for accredited people's liberation movements.

    The US Anti- Apartheid Movement and Civil Rights Memory

    BRATYANSKI, JENNIFER A., Ph.D. Mainstreaming Movements: The U.S. Anti- Apartheid Movement and Civil Rights Memory (2012) Directed by Dr. Thomas F. Jackson. 190pp. By the time of Nelson Mandela’s release from prison, in 1990, television and film had brought South Africa’s history of racial injustice and human rights violations into living rooms and cinemas across the United States. New media formats such as satellite and cable television widened mobilization efforts for international opposition to apartheid. But at stake for the U.S. based anti-apartheid movement was avoiding the problems of media misrepresentation that previous transnational movements had experienced in previous decades. Movement participants and supporters needed to connect the liberation struggles in South Africa to the historical domestic struggles for racial justice. What resulted was the romanticizing of a domestic civil rights memory through the mediated images of the anti-apartheid struggle which appeared between 1968 and 1994. Ultimately, both the anti-apartheid and civil rights movements were sanitized of their radical roots, which threatened the ongoing struggles for black economic advancement in both countries.

Signature:……………………………………. Date:………………………. Copyright © 2013 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This thesis takes as its subject matter a small field of activity in South African fiction in English, a field which I provisionally title the post-transitional moment. It brings together several works of literature that were published between 2004 and 2011. In so doing, it recognises that there can be no delineation of the field except in the most tenuous of senses: as Michael Chapman asserts, such “phases of chronology are ordering conveniences rather than neatly separable entities” (South African Literature 2). In attempting to take a reading of this field, I draw on discussions of the innumerable post-transitional flows and trajectories of meaning advanced by critical scholars such as Ashraf Jamal, Sarah Nuttall, Louise Bethlehem and others. In this thesis, I trace the “enigmatic and acategorical” (Jamal, “Bullet Through the Church” 11) dimension of this field through several works by South African authors.

Signature…………………………………………………………… Abstract This dissertation explores the history of the End Conscription Campaign (ECC) and evaluates its contribution to the struggle against apartheid. The ECC mobilised white opposition to apartheid by focussing on the role of the military in perpetuating white rule. By identifying conscription as the price paid by white South Africans for their continued political dominance, the ECC discovered a point of resistance within apartheid discourse around which white opposition could converge. The ECC challenged the discursive constructs of apartheid on many levels, going beyond mere criticism to the active modeling of alternatives. It played an important role in countering the intense propaganda to which all white South Africans were subject to ensure their loyalty, and in revealing the true nature of the conflict in the country. It articulated the dis-ease experienced by many who were alienated by the dominant culture of conformity, sexism, racism and homophobia. By educating, challenging and empowering white citizens to question the role of the military and, increasingly, to resist conscription it weakened the apartheid state thus adding an important component to the many pressures brought to bear on it which, in their combination, resulted in its demise.

  • The Question of Civil Disobedience Student Officer: Kallirroy Malta Position: Chair

    The Question of Civil Disobedience Student Officer: Kallirroy Malta Position: Chair

    22nd Deutsche Schule Athen Model United Nations | 18th-20th October 2019 Forum: Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Committee Issue: The question of Civil Disobedience Student Officer: Kallirroy Malta Position: Chair INTRODUCTION Civil disobedience, meaning the breaching of a law due to moral or political repercussions, is not a modern intervention; it is a rather classical idea whose roots can be traced even in Ancient Greece, with Antigone bravely breaking the law in order to give her brother the burial she deemed he deserved. In fact, Socrates an ancient Greek philosopher is thought to be the first to thoroughly examine the issue of whether one shall obey unjust laws and, in this way, indirectly, civil disobedience. In Crito, he essentially explains the reasoning behind obeying the law and presents his case on how disobedience of the law is seldom justified. In this dialogue, it is clarified that, for Socrates, one ought to obey the laws of the city as one obeys his father and his mother. Since Socrates’ time, there have been many philosophers to express their views on civil disobedience, whose opinions on the issue can be mainly divided into two schools. The first school adopts an affirmative attitude towards the question of civil disobedience through the recognition of its justifiability in certain circumstances. Members of the first school include Henry David Thoreau, Martin Luther King Jr., Mahatma Gandhi and Ronald Dworkin. The second school assumes a negative stance against the question of civil disobedience and totally denies its justification or propriety into society. Members of the second school include Morris I.

    A Comparative Study of Public Art and Public Engagement in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and What This Means for Public Art Policy

    Public art or art in public space? A comparative study of public art and public engagement in Braamfontein, Johannesburg, and what this means for public art policy. Chava Alheit 922563 A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts and Cultural Management. Johannesburg, 2016 i Abstract Over the past few years there has been an increase in both the number and variety of works of public art in Johannesburg, as well as a movement towards seeing public art as a tool for social cohesion, urban regeneration and community engagement. All of these potential outcomes influence policies, strategies and production processes around public art, with varying results. This research report considers the relationship between public art and public engagement and sets up a scale of engagement that aims to measure the success of public artworks according to their potential to achieve the above outcomes. By asking the key survey question “What do you think of this work?” my research surveyed the users of the spaces surrounding sites of public artworks and uncovered that the public enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to engage with the artworks on different levels, some intended and some unforeseen. The findings in this report have relevance for future monitoring and evaluation of public art projects, as well as subsequent public policy planning in the field of public art. i Declaration I declare that this research report is my own unaided work. It is being submitted for the MA Arts and Culture Management Degree in the School of the Arts, University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg.

  • (GIGI) FENSTER a Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University

    (GIGI) FENSTER a Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University

    FEVERISH SELF-INDUCED FEVER AND THE CREATIVE MIND BY GIOVANNA (GIGI) FENSTER A thesis submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Victoria University of Wellington (2016) ABSTRACT This thesis is a hybrid work that combines the critical and creative components of the Creative Writing PhD in a novel, Feverish. It includes notes, an afterword, and a full bibliography. Feverish is a novel narrated by Gigi, a writer who wishes to induce a fever in herself. The thesis aims to present more than a fictional account of a quest for fever. It aims, rather to travel with the mind of the protagonist. Gigi is not exclusively engaged in quest-related transactions in her present. Her interest in fever moves her to consider events from her past and her upbringing in Apartheid South Africa. It reminds her of a teenaged fascination with brain fever in Wuthering Heights. It prompts her to research fever-related aspects of psychiatric history and Jewish history. It drives her to research the law on consent to self-harm. As Gigi’s interest in fever leads her to these and other topics, so the thesis follows her, so the form adapts. In both its form and its content, Feverish presents a view into a mind. It provides glimpses of the events that shaped the mind. It describes where the mind goes when in the single-minded grip of a quasi-fever. The novel contains strands of theory, memoir, creative non-fiction, ficto-criticism. These different forms are layered upon each other.
