  • An Analysis of Racial Stereotyping in South African Broadcasting
    1 Introduction Outline of Arguments, Theoretical Moves, and Research Sources A theoretically-informed analysis of stereotyping in advertising is a largely unchartered territory. Coupled to this problem is a complexity deriving from the fact that a variety of instruments (be they administrative. technological, ideological. or theoretical) when enacted in the South African context, often lead to counter- intuitive results. Tints, regressive ethnic stereotypes may have been “good” in certain South African contexts and progressive ones “bad” in others. The incorporation of “black” ethnicity in advertising in the West is held to be largely symbolic and masks the lack of real incorporation. Yet in South Africa, in certain circumstances, it prefigures black incorporation given the rise of the black consumer. A discourse geared towards stereotypes of minorities in a dominant ethnicity context, which sees them as bad, may be functional in a multiracial and multicultural context. Instances such as these are symptomatic of a more general problem encountered in the application of theories from First World contexts to the South African context (Muller and Tomaselli 1990: Louw, 1991). Third World countries might not always follow the same patterns or even stages of development that have previously occurred in the advanced industrial states. Third World countries will be profoundly affected by current development theories and policies practised in advanced industrial or post- industrial states. From a globalisation point of view, technological developments that have rendered certain modes of production and their attenuating labour reproduction requirements obsolete, inevitably hear influence upon Third World countries. While not underestimating the level of South African sophistication in industrialisation and business management, these observations must to some extent hold true about future development of the South African social formation, Care should therefore be exercised in the application of theories and concepts from abroad.

J. Schurink Joint Promoter: Prof V. Shubin NOVEMBER 2008 Declaration by Candidate I declare that this thesis is my own work and that all sources that I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. J. C. R. (Ian) Liebenberg Student Number: 0430 - 548 - 5 November 2008 ii Acknowledgements and (re-) Memories Birds need not only wings, but air in which to fly. The desert scorpion, despite agile legs and heavy armour, will find itself helpless in a calm sea. If Kipling was correct in suggesting that “the heights by great people reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upwards through the night”, then acknowledgements are crucial. Not that one is great or necessarily at great heights, but no working person exists as an island, nor does a single somatic being constitute tradition and achievements attained or aimed at. In all this we stand but on the shoulders of others that went before us and those accompanying us. This is true for the research track here. Numerous people played a role over a long time. I owe gratitude to a great many friends past and present and not all of them can be mentioned here. I humbly tender my apologies in this regard.
