Full textAbstract:
The four major phytochoria of southern Africa, the Cape. Tongoland-Pondoland. Karoo-Namib and Afromontane regions, converge in the complex transition zone of the eastern Cape. The area is rich in species and communities with a complex vegetation in which are represented all the major vegetation formations of southern Africa — Cape Fynbos. Cape Transitional Shrublands, Subtropical Thicket. Karoo, Savanna, Afromontane Forest, Grasslands and Littoral Strand Vegetation. Our results support previous findings that, although species-rich and of great diversity, the flora has fewer endemics (205 or 5,6%) than the Cape (73%) or Karoo-Namib (35%). The communities with the largest proportion of endemics (30%), and threatened plants (18%) are those of the Subtropical Thicket. On the basis of these data and an index of conserv ation status, the Subtropical Thicket was determined to be highest on the priority list for conservation in the eastern Cape. Subtropical Thicket is being cleared at an increasing rate and is most vulnerable due to changing farming practice.

Full textAbstract:
The demise of springbok treks, the irruptive migration patterns of the species in South Africa's Karoo region, has long been attributed to the rinderpest epizootic understood to have coincided in both time and space with the last of the great springbok treks. This is incorrect. Instead the cessation of springbok treks can be attributed to a variety of anthropogenic factors. This article first examines and then rejects the case for rinderpest, before introducing alternative causal factors such as the increase in livestock and human populations, the effects of fencing and the double impact of hunting and concomitant drought. These factors, it is argued, acted in concert to effectively remove the conditions necessary for springbok treks and thereby end the phenomenon. It is suggested that the local extinction of this phenomenon – a keystone species and process – is an important and heretofore unconsidered element in the decline of the Karoo ecosystem.

Full textAbstract:
An hierarchical syntaxonomic classification of the vegetation of the Camdebo and Sneeuberg regions of the karoo biome is presented as a second approximation after the earlier work by Acocks (1953). Details on the geomorphology, geology, climate, and early vegetation history of the area are given. The vegetation of the study area was stratified with the aid of Landsat imagery and the community classification was generated using two-way indicator species analysis (Twins pan) which produced ordered phytosociological tables. Tabular comparisons and final sorting of tables are according to the methods and techniques of the ZiirichMontpellier school of phytosociology. Syntaxonomic ranks are defined as five classes, nine orders and seventeen communities. The classes are Grasslands, Karoo Shrublands, Karoo Dwarf Shrublands, Sub-tropical Transitional Thicket, and Riparian Thicket. The distribution of syntaxa corresponds with the steep precipitation gradient experienced in the study area. These vegetation concepts are applied to the description of the flora of the Karoo Nature Reserve and an analysis of the total flora of the reserve is provided. The communities of the pediments, which contain the highest number of endemics, are poorly conserved. I test the validity of the vegetation classification by interpreting the results of an analysis of soils within the hypothesized vegetation units. There is a gradient of increasing Na, silt and pH levels from the Shrublands and Grasslands to the Succulent and Grassy Dwarf Shrublands of the pediments. A qualitative model of the vegetation history during the glacial-interglacial sequence in the Graaff-Reinet region of the eastern Cape is presented. Using a descriptive approach, the distribution patterns of 68 taxa, which are differential species for Karoo Shrublands, Succulent Thicket and Karoo Dwarf Shrublands, are investigated relative to major southern African biomes. The results indicate that a large proportion of the differential species in the phytosociological classification show affinity with Grassland and Savanna Biomes. Three species groups encountered in the Dwarf Shrublands show affinity with the Nama-Karoo biome. The differential species of the Succulent Thicket have a predominantly subtropical distribution. Using an historical approach, the palaeoenvironment of the region during the past 20 000 years is discussed briefly. On the basis of the descriptive and historical perspectives, a qualitative model of vegetation history is presented. The Succulent Thicket may have become established on edaphically favourable sites in the ameliorating conditions of the warmer, wetter Holocene subsequent to the Last Glacial Maximum. The Dwarf Shrubland and Succulent Dwarf Shrubland are depauperate in relation to ccmmunities in other southern African biomes, but the relatively large number of endemics suggests a long history in the region. Their differential species groups occur under arid conditions, accompanied by soils with high base and fertility status. The Dwarf Shrublands may have been more extensive during the drier glacial times on those sites currently occupied by Shrubland. The Shrublands display the expected affInity with the Grassland and Savanna Biomes. The small number of endemics suggest that these communities may have occupied the region in the period since the Last Glacial Maximum. Species with Succulent Karoo Biome affInity are poorly represented. The reliability of using Landsat products to detect and map the vegetation of the region is assessed. The manual classification of Landsat standard products provides a poor reflection of the vegetation of the arid, sparsely-vegetated bottomlands and pediments. The products provide good representation of the boundaries of thicket vegetation, but this uni-temporal approach does not distinguish between floristically different thicket communities. After analyzing digital Landsat data, I suggest that the multi-spectral scanner detects the boundaries of broad soil pedons and geological formations in areas of low vegetative cover. I describe and map the vegetation categories of the region after manual interpretation of six Landsat scenes. This is an effIcient, cost-effective method of mapping vegetation in extensive regions. The mapping units do not reflect the syntaxonomic classification, representing rather an integration of physiographic, pedological, geological and floristic information. With the view to improving the classification of these units, I develop a qualitative model of the natural resources of the region using an expert system

Full textAbstract:
The Great Karoo spans the north-central part of South Africa at a major climatic boundary. The characteristics, spatial patterns and drivers of river channel response to Late Quaternary climate changes in the Sneeuberg, South Africa remain unclear due to the discontinuous alluvial stratigraphic record and the lack of dated palaeoclimatic archives. Dendritic channel networks in the upper Sundays River are deeply incised exposing terrace fills of varying thickness (2-6 m), extent (1 - > 10km) and pedogenic overprinting. Channels exhibit 'stepped' long profiles where resistant rock strata (dolerite, sandstone) cross valley floors, but are now partially or completely breached. DGPS surveys, sediment logging, mineral magnetic measurements and radiometric dating (OSL and 14C) were used to determine the source, age structure and depositional process of valley fills and ascribe intensity of pedogenic overprinting. A conceptual model of terrace development in relation to changing conditions of connectivity was tested. First order streams were desensitised to late Quaternary base level changes downstream due to the blocking effect of two barriers, with localised autogenic 'cut and fill'. Contrastingly, the continuity of 4 fill terraces over incised barriers in 2nd-4th order tributaries indicate relatively high sensitivity to post-LGM climatic change. However, deposition of alluvium (T2) inset within periglacial deposits (T1) was partly a complex response to re-connection of the channel network with deep upland colluvial stores resulting in the valleys becoming choked with sediment. This caused a rise in groundwater and formation of extensive (> 10 km2) rootmats on valley floors, restricting depth of subsequent channel entrenchment (T3/T4). This study presents one of the first attempts in South Africa to test and explain terrace genesis and correlation using existing conceptual models for sediment connectivity. The relative roles of periglaciation and fluvial activity are shown to be key influences on dynamics of Quaternary sedimentation, pedogenesis and erosion and help to explain how sediments can be preserved over long periods (104 years) in catchments subject to base level fall.

The major objective of this thesis was to record, document and describe the corbelled buildings of the Great Karoo, a form of 19th century vernacular architecture. The thesis builds on the pioneering descriptive work of James Walton in the 1960s. Description of these structures lays the foundation for a more contextual interpretation of them. This focuses on the 19th century trekboer small stock farmers who occupied these buildings, and whose cultural history dates back to their 18th century movement onto the VOC Cape frontier that resulted in ongoing interaction with indigenous people and the Karoo habitat. The thesis specifically suggests that these corbelled buildings were an outcome of these cultural exchanges and interactions with Khoe and southern Sotho-speaking farmers. The research examines evidence for the chronology of these structures between the 1820s and 1870s, reasons for their discrete distribution in the Karoo and the engineering of construction.

Thesis (MBA)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.With the advent of shale gas exploration in the Karoo region, the purpose of this study was to investigate the possible socio-economic impacts of shale gas development on the town of Beaufort West in the Karoo. A qualitative study method was used to establish possible socio economic impacts by reviewing literature with regard to existing shale gas development as well as a case study from the United States of America (USA). A desktop study of Beaufort West was carried out to establish current socio economic trends in the town. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with key stakeholders to establish their concerns and opinion regarding the possibility of shale gas exploration and production in the area of Beaufort West in the Karoo. The results of the study concluded that the concerns of the key stakeholders were definitely relevant as their livelihood would be threatened if there was any possibility of contamination of their water sources. Other possible socio economic impacts included infrastructure concerns with regard to road maintenance, tourism declining and the threat of noise and air pollution. The study recommends that if the shale gas development process were to go ahead, the South African government would need to ensure that best practices are incorporated by all gas drilling companies. A team of qualified and trained regulators should monitor well pads and hydraulic fracturing methods as well as volumes of water used and the disposal of waste water. The regulations existing in the country should be revised to incorporate the stringent standards of other countries that have strict monitoring policies in place. In order to protect the people of the Karoo and the heritage of South Africa, the government must ensure that gas companies are held liable for any kind of environmental or socio economic impact.

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Since its arrival onto the U.S. energy scene in the early 2000s, shale gas has had a significant impact on the global energy market. The fact that the shale gas supply of a single country has had such a widespread influence on the global energy market hints at the power that this energy resource holds as a ‘game changer’. With the fifth largest estimated shale gas reserves in the world, South Africa now faces the challenge of developing its own shale gas resources in the Karoo Basin. Having lifted the moratorium on hydraulic fracturing in September 2012, the South African government has indicated its interest in pursuing the commercial extraction of the country’s estimated shale gas reserves. This comes in light of the country’s potential energy crisis, as well as an increased role for natural gas in the country’s energy mix. South Africa has no history of shale gas extraction and currently has no legislation or regulatory practices in place to deal specifically with shale gas and hydraulic fracturing. The South African government thus faces the challenge of drawing policy lessons from other experienced shale gas-producing nations, such as the U.S., to close these regulatory gaps and exploit its national shale gas resources in an environmentally and economically responsible way. Consequently, this thesis focuses on the regulation of the American shale gas industry by asking what policy lessons the South African government can draw from the United States of America on its regulation of shale gas extraction. Richard Rose’s lesson-drawing approach to policy learning was adopted as the theoretical framework for this study and can also be applied as an analytical tool to aid in data collection and data analysis. Furthermore, the framework was operationalised through the research methods used for this case study, which consisted of a review of literature on the U.S. regulation of shale gas extraction. This research produced a number of key findings in the form of policy lessons for South Africa. Four main policy lessons were drawn on the regulation of shale gas extraction: regulation of shale gas extraction must occur at all levels of government—national, provincial and local; policy research must be used to inform policymaking for the development of new legislation specific to shale gas and hydraulic fracturing, so as to avoid regulatory exemptions often linked to ad hoc policymaking on shale gas extraction; each level of government and their related regulatory agencies must have clearly defined regulatory roles relating to shale gas and hydraulic fracturing; and finally, there must be uniformity in terms of the regulatory focus of shale gas regulators at all levels of government.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Sedert skaliegas vroeg in die jare sedert 2000 op die Amerikaanse energietoneel verskyn het, het dit ‘n beduidende impak op die globale energiemark gehad. Die feit dat die voorraad skaliegas van een land so ‘n wydverspreide invloed gehad het op die globale energiemark is ‘n aanduiding van die mag van hierdie energiebron as ‘n spel-wisselaar.Suid-Afrika het die vyfde-grootste skaliegasreserwes ter wêreld, en staan nou voor die uitdaging om sy eie skaliegasreserwes in die Karookom te ontwikkel. Nadat die moratorium op hidrobreking in September 2012 opgehef is, het die Suid-Afrikaanse regering aangedui dat hulle belangstel om die land se beraamde skaliegasreserwes kommersieel te ontgin. Dit het ontstaan in die lig van die potensiële energiekrisis wat Suid-Afrika in die gesig staar, asook die begeerte dat aardgas ‘n groter rol moet speel in die land se mengsel van energiebronne. Suid-Afrika het geen geskiedenis van skaliegasontginning nie en tans is daar geen wetgewing of regulerende praktyke in plek wat spesifiek te make het met skaliegas en hidrobreking nie. Die Suid-Afrikaanse regering staan dus voor die uitdaging om te leer uit die beleidsrigtings van ander ervare skaliegaslande soos die V.S.A. ten einde hierdie leemtes in regulering op te hef en sy nasionale skaliegasreserwes op ‘n omgewingsvriendelike en ekonomies-verantwoordelike manier te ontgin. Gevolglik fokus hierdie tesis op die regulering van die Amerikaanse skaliegas-industrie deur te vra watter beleidslesse die Suid-Afrikaanse regering kan leer by die Amerikaanse regering oor die regulering van hulle skaliegasontginning. Richard Rose se 'lesson-drawing'-benadering tot die leer van beleid is aanvaar as die teoretiese raamwerk vir hierdie studie en kan ook aangewend word as 'n analitiese instrument om te help met dataversameling en -analise. Die raamwerk is verder geoperasionaliseer deur die navorsingsmetodes wat gebruik is vir hierdie gevallestudie, wat bestaan het uit 'n oorsig van die literatuur oor die V.S.A. se regulering van skaliegasontginning. Hierdie navorsing het ‘n aantal sleutelbevindinge opgelewer in terme van beleidslesse vir Suid-Afrika. Die vier vernaamste beleidslesse oor die regulering van skaliegasontginning wat na vore gekom het, is die volgende: die regulering van skaliegas moet op alle vlakke van regering geskied – nasionaal, provinsiaal en op plaaslike vlak; navorsing oor beleid moet gebruik word om beleidsvorming in te lig sodat nuwe wetgewing ontwikkel kan word wat spesifiek gerig is op skaliegas en hidrobreking, ten einde uitsonderings op regulering te voorkom wat dikwels verbind word met ad hoc beleidsformulering; elke vlak van regering en sy verwante reguleringsagentskappe moet duidelik gedefinieerde reguleringsrolle hê ten opsigte van skaliegas en hidrobreking; en, ten slotte, daar moet eenvormigheid wees in die reguleringsfokus van skaliegasreguleerders op alle vlakke van regering.

MA, School of Music, Faculty of Humanities, University of the WitwatersrandIn 2003 I made a documentary film called Karoo Kitaar Blues with South African songwriter and guitarist, David Kramer, on the rare musicians, music, and instruments of scattered coloured communities in the Northern Cape. When I set out, seven years ago, to make the film I had no intention of making an ethnographic film or producing a visual ethnography in the anthropological sense (I am a documentary filmmaker), but two academic reviews, critical of its lack of ‘ethnographic context’ caught my intention. This dissertation attempts to respond to their critique. I explore the territory of visual anthropology and ethnographic methodology in order to understand why my film, with hindsight, is and is not ‘ethnographic’, and to establish how ethnographic practice could enhance my work as a filmmaker. I use Karoo Kitaar Blues as my visual monograph and examine the differences between ethnographic film and documentary (in the observational mode) with reference to ethnographic methodologies and theory in ethnomusicology, and consider how film can be used ‘as’ ethnography or ‘in’ ethnography. I conclude that Karoo Kitaar Blues film lies somewhere between ethnographic and observational filmmaking.

Full textAbstract:
Dysertacja jest analizą nieopracowanego dotąd zwyczaju modlenia się za władców w trakcie Mszy, szczególnie podczas liturgii eucharystycznej. W pracy opisano, w jaki sposób oracje za rządzących kształtowały oraz odzwierciedlały teologię polityczną wieków średnich. Mszalne intercesje za władców określały bowiem postawy między monarchami, papieżami oraz biskupami. Kluczowym tekstem dla analizy jest kanon rzymski, czyli najważniejsza modlitwa chrześcijaństwa łacińskiego i jeden z najważniejszych tekstów Kościoła katolickiego. Ta modlitwa eucharystyczna, podczas wykonywania której chleb i wino stają się Ciałem i Krwią Chrystusa, została przekazana przez setki średniowiecznych rękopisów liturgicznych. Tylko pozornie prawie 400 manuskryptów, zbadanych na potrzeby pracy, zawiera identyczny tekst. Analizie różnic leksyki kanonu rzymskiego, szczególnie w odniesieniu do modlitw za rządzących, poświęcono przedkładaną dysertację. Wynikiem badań jest ustalenie i interpretacja genezy oraz sposobów rozprzestrzeniania się modlitwy za władców w otwierającej sekcji kanonu rzymskiego, rozpoczynającej się od słów "Te igitur clementissime Pater". Ta część kanonu była do X wieku zarezerwowana dla wspomnienia hierarchii kościelnej oraz była wyrazem jedności między sprawującymi eucharystyczną ofiarę a lokalnym biskupem oraz papieżem. W drugiej połowie IX wieku do "Te igitur" z inicjatywy Karola Łysego dodano królewski tytuł. W części zarezerwowanej dotąd dla najwyższych dostojników duchownych, biskupa i papieża, miano wspominać również króla, gdyż w zamierzaniu ambitnego Karolinga monarcha także należał do grona najwyższych przywódców Kościoła. Innowacja liturgiczna Karola Łysego powoli znajdowała akceptację wśród hierarchów imperium, którzy niezbyt ochoczo w zamawianych dla siebie rękopisach uwzględniali władcę w części zarezerwowanej dla duchownych. Nowy sposób modlitwy wprowadzony w kręgu Karola Łysego był bowiem zerwaniem nie tylko z rzymską tradycją, lecz także z dotychczasową praktyką liturgiczną całego chrześcijaństwa (również Kościołów Wschodu). Przed drugą połową IX wieku rządzących wspominano w trakcie Eucharystii, ale czyniono to w częściach umożliwiających modlitwę za wszystkich wiernych. Taka liturgia nie dawała podstaw do uznania króla za duchownego dostojnika. W liturgicznych księgach łacińskiego chrześcijaństwa aż do panowania Karola Łysego zachowywano wyraźny podział między duchownymi a monarchami.W IX wieku sakralizującą modlitwę za króla można znaleźć jedynie w 11 rękopisach, które przeważnie pochodziły z centrów karolińskiej władzy, podczas gdy w XIII wieku do wyjątków należy brak owej oracji i to nawet w rękopisach z prowincjonalnych terenów. Kluczowym dla rozprzestrzeniania się innowacji były X i XI stulecie, czyli okres panowania dynastii Ottonów i Salijczyków. Analiza przypadków z lat 900-1100 pozwoliła na wypracowanie interesującego obrazu Kościoła Rzeszy. Ottońscy i wczesnosaliccy biskupi, którzy odznaczali się dużą samoświadomością, nie akceptowali modlitwy za króla w "Te igitur" i nie uwzględniali jej w zamówionych dla siebie księgach liturgicznych, mimo że znali ją z innych rękopisów. Wydaje się, że owi hierarchowie podzielali eklezjologię, w której wśród duchownych przywódców nie było miejsca dla namaszczonego króla, co przypominałoby postawę reformatorów Kościoła z drugiej połowy XI wieku. Natomiast w klasztorach Rzeszy, szczególnie tych, które produkowały sakralizujące monarchów obrazy lub narracje, kopiowano orację za władców w "Te igitur". Obraz Kościoła Ottonów i wczesnych Salijczyków wydaje się zatem dużo bardziej skomplikowany niż dotychczasowe uogólnienia badaczy. Oprócz szczegółowych ustaleń, przedkładana dysertacja jest także próbą wprowadzenia do polskiej mediewistyki nowego typu źródeł – ksiąg liturgicznych, które zazwyczaj marginalizowano w badaniach nad historią polityczną oraz społeczną średniowiecza.Charles the Bald began a new liturgical tradition of prayers for rulers in medieval Latin Christianity, by ordering the addition of the commemoration of the title "king" to the Roman Canon of the Mass. After this point, the title ''king" was expected to be included in the prayers of the most sacred celebrations, alongside with the titles of the pope and of the local bishop.In doing so, Charles strived to elevate the position of the anointed ruler in the Church and to provide him with the most holy place of commemoration during the Mass. During the ninth and tenth centuries, the appearance of the prayer for rulers in the Roman Canon of the Mass was still exceptional, whereas by the thirteenth century itsabsence would be unusual.Based on the analysis of over four hundred liturgical manuscripts, my dissertation surveys the history of the aforementioned prayer and its importance for sacralization of kingship in early medieval Europe. It provides statistical research on the dissemination of these prayers throughout the Latin liturgy and it focuses on specific ecclesiastical centers and figures by analyzing causes for accepting or rejecting the innovation in the liturgical books of: Warmund of Ivrea, Bernward of Hildesheim, Sigebert of Minden, and monasteries in Regensburg, Fulda and Corvey.

Full textAbstract:
The subject matter of this publication is the analysis of the illustrations of a satirical magazine entitled Liberum Veto, alluding to modernist and earlier literature. The periodical was published in the years 1903–1905 in Kraków and Lviv. One of its founders was August Kisielewski, its first publisher was a printer from Krakow, Władysław Teodorczuk. The editors were Franciszek Czaki and Adolf Neuwert- -Nowaczyński, and after the editorial office had been moved to Lviv, Władysław Milko. Numerous draftsmen who were cooperating with the magazine included: Kazimierz Brzozowski, Karol Frycz, Władysław Jarocki, Stanisław Kuczborski, Tymon Niesiołowski, Kazimierz Sichulski, Fryderyk Pautsch, Antoni Procajłowicz, Henryk Uziębło, Witold Wojtkiewicz and Stanisław Szreniawa Rzecki. And also during the Lviv period, Oskar Aleksandrowicz and Tadeusz Waltenberger cooperated with the magazine (dates unknown). The magazine consisted of regularly published columns, for example, the cycle Polski Parnas (Polish Parnassus), where modernist artists published pasquils (lampoons) under easily recognisable pseudonyms. In the magazine, one may see illustrations related to Stanisław Wyspiański, a versatile artist who was presented here mainly as the author of modernist dramas with the message of national liberation; Adam Mickiewicz, the national bard who was still present in the social consciousness; and Henryk Sienkiewicz, whose great novels made him a respected figure of the world of literature. This caused numerous biting criticism against the draftsmen and editors of Liberum Veto. The creator of the Zakopane Style, Stanisław Witkiewicz, was also depicted in a satirical way. The staging of the drama Eros i Psyche (Cupid and Psyche) featuring Irena Solska enhanced public interest in the figure of Jerzy Żuławski, the creator of Polish science-fiction literature. Other people shown in the illustrations included Lucjan Rydel, Kazimierz Przerwa-Tetmajer, Wacław Wolski, as well as the Greek fabulist Aesop living in the 6th century BC.
