“From the Sound of Music to the Sound of Silence.” Stilte As Helende Moment in Die Erediens “From the Sound of Music to the Sound of Silence.” Stilte as helende moment in die erediens. deur Attie van Wyk Tesis ingelewer ter gedeeltelike voldoening aan die vereistes vir die graad Magister in Teologie aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch Promotor: Professor J.H. Cilliers Mede-promotor: Doktor C. van der Walt Departement: Praktiese Teologie en Missiologie Maart 2017 Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za VERKLARING Deur hierdie tesis elektronies in te lewer, verklaar ek dat die geheel van die werk hierin vervat, my eie, oorspronklike werk is, dat ek die outeursregeienaar daarvan is (behalwe tot die mate uitdruklik anders aangedui) en dat ek dit nie vantevore, in die geheel of gedeeltelik, ter verkryging van enige kwalifikasie aangebied het nie. Datum: Maart 2017 Kopiereg © 2017 Universiteit van Stellenbosch Alle regte voorbehou i Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Opsomming In hierdie studie is aangetoon hoedat daar verskeie vorme van stilte bestaan. Die navorsing geskied in die vorm van ‘n musikale beweging: ten eerste die klank van die konteks van die wit Afrikaner man in Suid Afrika, tot die klanke en waarde van musiek, tot die klank van stilte. Enige musiek wat uitgevoer word, word vanuit stilte gebore. Metafories gesproke, begin hierdie studie ook vanuit stilte. Hierdie spesifieke soort stilte wat deur historiese en huidige sosiale kontekste bygedra het tot die gender konstruksie en maskuliniteitstipe van die ‘Stil en Sterk-tipe’ wit Afrikaner man in Suid Afrika. Hierdie ‘Stil en Sterk-tipe’ wit Afrikaner man vind dit dikwels moeilik om hulself verbaal uit te druk, maar is steeds deel van die Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk waarin hulle aanbid. Soos daar in enige goeie musikale komposisies verskeie bewegings is, gebeur dit ook in hierdie studie. Die beweging het ten doel om juis ook verskillende soorte stiltes, wat ‘n impak op die leefwêreld van sommige lidmate in die Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk mag hê, in die lig te stel. Die vraag dan, hoe word daar ruimtes gebied vir individue soos die ‘Stil en Sterk tipe’ om hulle self te verklank ook in die erediens? Vanuit hierdie ondersoek word dit duidelik dat nie slegs musiek nie, maar ook stilte binne musiek en stilte opsig self van waarde kan wees. ‘n Fokus op die fenomeen van stilte en die waarde wat dit kan inhou vir lidmate van die Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk, word ondersoek. So is die geloofsgemeenskap ‘n ruimte waarin die ‘Stil en Sterk tipe’ ook saam met ander gelowiges hulself deur die estetiese en stilte kan verklank en ook deur God binne sulke ruimtes, getransformeer kan word. Die titel van die studie, “From the Sound of Music to the Sound of Silence” wil poog om na stilte as moontlike helende moment in die erediens te wys. Daarom, in die finale beweging van hierdie navorsing, word daar na die herwaardering van stilte in die liturgie gekyk. ii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Abstract This study focuses on different types of silence. The research takes on the form of a musical movement. At first a type of silence which is derived from the socially constructed context within which the white Afrikaner male finds himself. This masculinity type, which has been constructed by historical, social and cultural influences, brings about the ‘Strong and Silent type’, white Afrikaner male in the context of South Africa. This masculinity type seems to struggle with verbal communication; however, they still worship in and remain part of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa. Therefore the research moves to the holistic value that music has on individuals. Subsequently the movement investigates the role and function of church music in the context of the Dutch Reformed Church, not only for worship, but also in creating cathartic moments of expression for the “Strong and Silent” masculinity type. Silence, however, is the element which helps humans to distinguish between different sounds. The research moves to investigate the phenomenon of sound and some qualities of the sound of silence. The final movement focuses on the way silence can be incorporated and re-evaluate silence in liturgies, especially through aesthetic elements within the context of the Dutch Reformed Church. Spaces filled with silence wherein God can transform individuals. Therefore, a re-evaluation of silence in the liturgy is called upon. iii Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za Dankbetuiging Ek wil graag my dank uitspreek aan: Doktor C. van der Walt en Professor J.H.

Datum: 4 Maart 2009 Kopiereg © 2009 Universiteit Stellenbosch Alle regte voorbehou iii OPSOMMING Die doel van hierdie studie is om die opkoms van Afrikaanse rock en die literêre status van Afrikaanse rocklirieke te ondersoek, met Fokofpolisiekar as voorbeeld. Daar word nagespoor hoe die spesifieke sosiopolitieke konteks waarbinne Afrikaanse rock ontwikkel, die lirieke en styl daarvan beïnvloed. Afleidings word gemaak oor die implikasies wat Afrikaanse rock inhou ten opsigte van die Afrikanerjeug se identiteit in die nuwe millennium. Ter demonstrasie van hierdie interdissiplinêre en kon- tekstuele ondersoek, word ’n gevallestudie onderneem van die Afrikaanse punkrock- groep Fokofpolisiekar. Nie net word gekyk na die ontstaan en invloed van die groep nie, maar 'n beduidende deel van die tesis word bestee aan hul lirieke, wat vanuit ’n literêre oogpunt beskou en ondersoek word. In die proses kom sekere vrae met betrekking tot die posisie van lirieke in die Afrikaanse literêre sisteem onder die loep.

  • How Ninja from Die Antwoord Performs South African White Masculinities Through the Digital Archive
    ZEF AS PERFORMANCE ART ON THE ‘INTERWEB’: How Ninja from Die Antwoord performs South African white masculinities through the digital archive by Esther Alet Rossouw Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree MAGISTER ARTIUM in the Department of Drama Faculty of Humanities University of Pretoria Supervisor: Dr M Taub AUGUST 2015 1 ABSTRACT The experience of South African rap-rave group Die Antwoord’s digital archive of online videos is one that, in this study, is interpreted as performance art. This interpretation provides a reading of the character Ninja as a performance of South African white masculinities, which places Die Antwoord’s work within identity discourse. The resurgence of the discussion and practice of performance art in the past thirty years has led some observers to suggest that Die Antwoord’s questionable work may be performance art. This study investigates a reconfiguration of the notion of performance art in online video. This is done through an interrogation of notions of risk, a conceptual dimension of ideas, audience participation and digital liveness. The character Ninja performs notions of South African white masculinities in their music videos, interviews and short film Umshini Wam which raises questions of representation. Based on the critical reading of Die Antwoord’s online video performance art, this dissertation explores notions of Zef, freakery, the abject, new ethnicities, and racechanges, as related to the research field of whiteness, to interpret Ninja’s performance of whiteness. A gendered reading of Die Antwoord’s digital archive is used to determine how hegemonic masculinities are performed by Ninja. It is determined that through their parodic performance art, Die Antwoord creates a transformative intervention through which stagnant notions of South African white masculinity may be reconfigured.

In hierdie studie sal daar ook klem gelê word op die sosiopolitieke faktore wat tot die opbloei van die Afrikaanse musiekbedryf gelei het. Deur die analise van dié kunstenaars se lirieke, sal ek vasstel of hulle wel betekenisvolle werk van literêre gehalte lewer. Ek het spesifiek hierdie musikante gekies omdat hulle jong eietydse musikante is. 2 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to focus on the song texts of artists, Karen Zoid, Fokofpolisiekar, The Buckfever Underground (and Toast Coetzer) and Bok van Blerk and to determine their function in today’s cultural reality, and whether these musicians and their music have an influence on today’s youth and their search for a Cultural Identity. This study will also focus on the socio-political factors that led to the rise of the Afrikaans Music Industry. By analyzing these artists’ lyrics, I want to determine whether they are significant works of literary quality. These musicians were chosen because they are regarded as young contemporary musicians.

    DWR partners with South African drummer Jason Oosthuizen | 1 Jason Oosthuizen and South Africa band Oooth As far as South African drummers are concerned, there are few who can compete with Jason Oosthuizen’s incredible skill and expansive CV. Jason started drumming at the age of four and is a deeply passionate and committed musician, but also understands what it takes to make a successful living as an artist in South Africa. Jason has served as a drummer for some of South Africa’s most successful bands, including One Day Remains, who wrote the theme song for the rugby tri-nations entitled ‘Never say die’. He has recorded two albums with the Van Coke Kartel and has worked with some of the biggest names in South African music including Jack Parow, Fokofpolisiekar, The Black Cat Bones, The Narrow and Die Heuwels Fantasties, among others. In 2018, Jason stepped out from behind his drum-kit and took the frontman position for his own band, Oooth. He has successfully launched a range of enterprises around the brand, including a clothing line, boutique coffee, fine wine and, most importantly, music. In addition to Oooth, Jason has established seven tribute bands, including Guns ‘n Roses & Friends Tribute, Led Zeppelin Tribute, AC/DC vs Deep Purple Tribute and Bob Marley & Lenny Kravitz Tribute, among others.
