This cultural expression can be traced to colonial slavery when Cape slaves were given a day off on 2 January. Since the early 20th century, carnival troupes have gathered in football stadiums as a medium of socialisation to perform and compete against each other for trophies, profit, status, and bragging rights. The research is divided into four parts. In the first part, I discuss the impact of violence in township areas, the locus of carnival and where the majority of participants live, where I examine the role of carnival in the mitigation of physical and emotional distress, and the legacy of klopse music as symptoms of deeper divisions rather than historical imperatives. In part two, I discuss the functions and characteristics of klopse competitions, seeking to understand the reward scheme, motives and strategies for enticing players, as well as the effects of winning and losing, team work and pride on the individual and group. Part three focuses on the more negative aspects of competition, drawing on notions of persuasion, control and manipulation, as well as empirical discussion of how individuals compete for positions of power and status, and on how their quest for success in carnival reflects their position in the formal economy. Finally, in the last part, I examine the music of the Kaapse Klopse and explore its place within a rapidly changing South Africa, in which carnival and the political mainstream are moving in opposite directions, focusing on notions of ethnicity, entrainment, and solidarity, and the effects of power and money on the social field. Specifically, I use Durkheim’s concept of collective consciousness to explain how the conscience collective is imperative to establishing moral order and the continuity of parades and competitions. v Contents Acronyms xi Consultants xii 1 Introduction 1 1.1 The festival.................................. 10 1.1.1 Klopse procession and short chronology............ 12 1.1.2 Klopse competition......................... 15 1.1.3 Klopse music............................ 17 1.1.4 The social structure of troupes.................. 19 1.2 Race in South Africa............................ 20 1.2.1 Terminology............................. 21 1.2.2 South African coloured communities.............. 22 1.2.3 The coloured people of Cape Town............... 26 1.2.4 Constructions of race and ethnicity............... 27 1.2.5 Cultural marginalisation...................... 30 1.3 Theoretical framework and chapters................... 31 1.4 Methodology................................ 32 1.4.1 Musical ethnography........................ 33 1.4.2 Musical participation........................ 33 1.4.3 Unstructured interview...................... 35 1.4.4 Data gathering........................... 36 1.4.5 Data analysis............................ 41 1.4.6 Research ethics........................... 44 2 From violence to music and back 47 2.1 Ethnographic setting and violence.................... 50 2.1.1 Early stages of fieldwork..................... 50 2.1.2 Joining the band.......................... 52 2.1.3 Inside Bo-Kaap’s social structure................. 56 2.1.4 Post season............................. 59 2.2 Cleaning the house: Theory and practice................ 60 vi 2.2.1 The band as a pack......................... 63 2.2.2 Collective efficacy.......................... 65 2.3 Understanding structural violence.................... 68 2.3.1 Problems of governance and inequality............. 68 2.3.2 ‘Post’-apartheid city........................ 69 2.3.3 Mediation between crime and joy................ 70 3 Why troupes compete 74 3.1 Tournament design............................. 74 3.2 Functions and characteristics of competition.............. 78 3.2.1 Playing success and post-match discussions.......... 78 3.2.2 Contest for legitimacy and social capital............ 81 3.3 Playing the game.............................. 82 3.3.1 Making a name in the industry.................. 82 3.3.2 Becoming an asset in the troupe................

  • Gerry Mulligan Discography
    GERRY MULLIGAN DISCOGRAPHY GERRY MULLIGAN RECORDINGS, CONCERTS AND WHEREABOUTS by Gérard Dugelay, France and Kenneth Hallqvist, Sweden January 2011 Gerry Mulligan DISCOGRAPHY - Recordings, Concerts and Whereabouts by Gérard Dugelay & Kenneth Hallqvist - page No. 1 PREFACE BY GERARD DUGELAY I fell in love when I was younger I was a young jazz fan, when I discovered the music of Gerry Mulligan through a birthday gift from my father. This album was “Gerry Mulligan & Astor Piazzolla”. But it was through “Song for Strayhorn” (Carnegie Hall concert CTI album) I fell in love with the music of Gerry Mulligan. My impressions were: “How great this man is to be able to compose so nicely!, to improvise so marvellously! and to give us such feelings!” Step by step my interest for the music increased I bought regularly his albums and I became crazy from the Concert Jazz Band LPs. Then I appreciated the pianoless Quartets with Bob Brookmeyer (The Pleyel Concerts, which are easily available in France) and with Chet Baker. Just married with Danielle, I spent some days of our honey moon at Antwerp (Belgium) and I had the chance to see the Gerry Mulligan Orchestra in concert. After the concert my wife said: “During some songs I had lost you, you were with the music of Gerry Mulligan!!!” During these 30 years of travel in the music of Jeru, I bought many bootleg albums. One was very important, because it gave me a new direction in my passion: the discographical part. This was the album “Gerry Mulligan – Vol. 2, Live in Stockholm, May 1957”.

  • Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010
    Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010 Julian A Jacobs (8805469) University of the Western Cape Supervisor: Prof Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie Masters Research Essay in partial fulfillment of Masters of Arts Degree in History November 2010 DECLARATION I declare that „Then and Now: Activism in Manenberg, 1980 to 2010‟ is my own work and that all the sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by means of complete references. …………………………………… Julian Anthony Jacobs i ABSTRACT This is a study of activists from Manenberg, a township on the Cape Flats, Cape Town, South Africa and how they went about bringing change. It seeks to answer the question, how has activism changed in post-apartheid Manenberg as compared to the 1980s? The study analysed the politics of resistance in Manenberg placing it within the over arching mass defiance campaign in Greater Cape Town at the time and comparing the strategies used to mobilize residents in Manenberg in the 1980s to strategies used in the period of the 2000s. The thesis also focused on several key figures in Manenberg with a view to understanding what local conditions inspired them to activism. The use of biographies brought about a synoptic view into activists lives, their living conditions, their experiences of the apartheid regime, their brutal experience of apartheid and their resistance and strength against a system that was prepared to keep people on the outside. This study found that local living conditions motivated activism and became grounds for mobilising residents to make Manenberg a site of resistance. It was easy to mobilise residents on issues around rent increases, lack of resources, infrastructure and proper housing.

Definition of the Case Study The most defining characteristics of case study is delimiting the object of the study: the case (Merriam, 2015) • The goal is to understand one thing well: a person, a program, a group, or specific policy; examples: one playground, one band. • Research question must be aligned/define the case/unit of analysis. A noun, seldom a verb, a functioning (Stake, 2006). Real things to visualize. Examples: not training, managing , giving birth but training modules, managers, labor rooms. The “Case” Bounded context The context The Case Examples A study of how older adults learn to use computers. The case/unit of analysis: learners’ experience. Indefinite number of adult leaders can be selected for this study. • Not a case study but a qualitative study One particular program, or classroom of leaners (a bounded system), or one particular learners selected based on success uniqueness, etc. • A case study When to use the Case Study Type of Research Questions relevant to the Case Study • Explanatory/explanatory/descriptive questions • How or why did something happen?
