  • Final Version Phd Corrections with EW Edits
    Chapter 1 Confronting the Past: On the Anthropology of Ethics ! Trauma in Archives ! It is the summer of 2013 February. After ordering a cool drink at the Spur in Vereeniging, I sat at the table in the middle of a restaurant, waiting to do an interview with my past. About six weeks before I had discovered that my father had been one of the subjects of my study while doing archival research in the William Cullen Library at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg. I was looking at the violent events that led to the Zone 7 shooting in Sebokeng when I came across his name, Tilly Bojosi, alongside his brother’s name, Ismael Bojosi. In the archive they are part of a gang, or at least many in the community are convinced they are. A gang that was unleashing all forms of terror on local activists. After a long period of soul searching, I decided to look for him and request an interview, to talk to him about the 1980s and his role in the violence thereof. ! So I sat, waiting for this man, a man I knew very little about. Up to this point we had only spoken a few times, totalling a little over 30 minutes, since I was born. In December of 2003, I had just finished matric1. In fact, it was the day after matric results had been published in national newspapers and my name had appeared with an exemption, meaning that I had qualified for admission to university. A person came home, greeted my grandmother and said that my father was up by the street corner and requesting to see me.

  • Black Hair Politics: the Representation of African Women On
    Black hair politics: the representation of African women on True Love magazine front covers and hair advertisements by KHULEKANI MADLELA A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree DPhil (Visual Studies) in the Department of Visual Arts at the UNIVERSITY OF PRETORIA FACULTY OF HUMANITIES SUPERVISOR: Professor Jeanne van Eeden CO-SUPERVISOR: Dr Nomusa Makhubu February 2018 DECLARATION Full name: Khulekani Madlela Student number: 16363605 Degree: PhD in Visual Studies Title of thesis: Black hair politics: the representation of African women on True Love magazine front covers and hair advertisements. I declare that this thesis is my own, original work. Where secondary material is used, this has been carefully acknowledged and referenced in accordance with University requirements. I understand what plagiarism is and am aware of the University policy and implications in this regard. Signature KMadlela Date 05/02/2018 i ABSTRACT The literature about race and gender includes extensive research on the representation of black women. However, most of these studies have been conducted in the West; only a few have been done in Africa in general and in South Africa in particular. To address this gap, I use quantitative content and visual semiotic analysis to examine selected examples of South African True Love magazine‟s front-page covers and hair advertisements and how these represent black African women. Paying particular attention to hair, this thesis examines the hair products, hair types, lengths, colours and hairstyles that feature prominently in the visual texts. By doing so, it seeks to uncover the myths and ideologies that are constructed and promoted.

This erosion of media freedom has mirrored Broadcasting Corporation the gradual loss of support for the governing party, the ANC. In these (SABC); African National Congress (ANC); Muldergate circumstances, it is hardly surprising that the media have come in for intense pressure as they fulfilled their obligation to act as the nation’s watchdog. As one commentator observed: ‘The ANC does not like a free and independently owned press with its watchdog capabilities’ (Naspers Chairman Ton Vosloo, November 2014, http://www.bloomberg.com/ news/2014-11-06/south-african-media-squeezed-by-growing-state- pressure.html?hootPostID=5e634bc4ab61a577488d8ea295b3cce2, accessed 20 March 2017).
