Abstract:

This paper examines South African literature’s paradigm shift through Zakes Mda’s disruption of the dominant trope of apartheid by his focusing on black ordinary lives in Ways of Dying. The novel foregrounds the broken bridges of love and unity that used to link families before colonisation. Mda demonstrates how the rise of the city engendered the demise of the village where blacks lived as a unified community before migrating to the city whence they sink into individualism. The discussion focuses on family units during the period of death and dying to reveal broken links that happen to have a bearing to black familyhood. The focus of the argument is on how Mda depicts and mends the lost spirit of oneness among the blacks during the final stages of the anti-apartheid struggle and the transition to a democratic South Africa. The discussion highlights a new traditional African community built on forgiveness, care and unity.

Abstract:

Zakes Mda’s The Whale Caller is easily identifiable as a narrative that projects the newness of South Africa in terms of literary transition. The radical shift in this novel resides in its preoccupation with the excessive passion a man has for a whale and this interest creates an unusual space for this work in contemporary African fiction; its mapping of perverted sexuality clearly sets it outside the mainstream of African prose narrative. In the universe of this socio-cultural text, the actions, characters, and signifiers are constructed to reflect a stasis of frustration or disjunction in the apprehension of psycho-social forces that favour the dismantling of cultural expectations that sexuality be recognized as sacrosanct. This essay focuses on postmodernist mythical expression in The Whale Caller, which is used to valorize the process of cultural rupture. With intense self-reflexivity, Mda sends signals about the cultural and ecological stultification characterizing the new South Africa. The Whale Caller underpins two realms of readability; its tragic tones point, on the one hand, to the neglect of ecological concerns. In the other realms of meaning, the Whale Caller as a defamiliarizing object becomes a metaphorization of cultural transformation.

Abstract:

This article, which draws inspiration from the literary works of three South African writers, focuses on the two (amongst many) major historic periods in the life of the present-day nation described as post-apartheid South Africa. The two periods, evident in the works of Andre Brink, Zakes Mda and Nadine Gordimer under review, are the reign of apartheid and the transition to a democratic multiracial society built on the principles of equality and the respect of the rights and freedoms of South Africans. From both historical and literary standpoints, the transition to multiracialism is the outcome of the struggle of the oppressed black population of South Africa against the oppressive monolithic racist regime which ruled the country on an official governance policy which it called ‘Apartheid’. In order to enforce this inhumane worldview, the said racist regime used means of brutality and savagery with the intention of transforming the country into a ‘white nation’ that would belong to a minority-turned majority known as the Afrikaners. The often callous and gruesome acts of inhumanity perpetrated by the different racist apartheid regimes (that ruled South Africa from 1948-1994) became a major concern to the world at large and South African anti-apartheid writers in particular. Thus this category of the country’s writers tended to use literature as an instrument of protest against racial discrimination, which brought untold hardship to the black population. Andre Brink, Zakes Mda, and Nadine Gordimer are among the writers whose works vividly trace the South African experience from apartheid to post-apartheid eras. Brink, Mda and Gordimer in their respective works attempt to portray the endeavours and challenges of reconstructing the new nation from the debris of close to four decades of the brutal regime. The main issues discussed in this article are analyzed from New Historicist and Postcolonial perspectives due to the peculiar postcolonial nature of South Africa.

Abstract:

Zakes Mda’s analysis and exposé of nationalist politics in “Ways of dying” reveal that the unitary vision that characterised the national liberation discourse suppressed some dissonances, contradictions and disunity around the question of class. Mda probes the ironies and contradictions of the liberation struggle and by so doing questions the meaning of freedom for the ordinary South Africans. He then scrutinises the role of the colonised and oppressed in delaying their own total liberation due to the camouflaged interests and motives of the nationalists that were not in the nation’s interest. His analysis of the class silences in his critique of the liberation struggle brings to attention concerns of the masses that had been marginalised in the liberation struggle. To their disappointment, after sacrificing and fighting for national liberation, the masses now realise that the postapartheid state is far from being what they hoped for. Their plight is exacerbated by the fact that they are still as oppressed as they had been prior to independence but now the oppressors are also some of their former comrades in the struggle.

Abstract:

Veel overheidsorganisaties hebben in de afgelopen jaren (elementen van) New Public Management (NPM) ingevoerd. Op dit moment is echter nog onduidelijk in hoeverre overheidsorganisaties bepaalde NPM-instrumenten strategische planning, prestatiemeting en -beloning) gebruiken. De resultaten van dit onder werkgevers van studenten van het Public Governance MBA van Universiteit Nyenrode uitgevoerd onderzoek suggereren dat de missie en doelstellingen van Nederlandse overheids- en non-profit organisaties duidelijk zijn geformuleerd, maar dat zij moeite hebben met het meetbaar maken van hun doelstellingen. Met name hoeveelheids- en kwaliteitsmaatstaven worden gebruikt; efficiency- en effectmaatstaven worden veel minder gehanteerd. Bovendien wordt de beloning van ambtenaren nauwelijks gebaseerd op de geleverde prestaties. Gesteld kan worden dat Nederlandse overheids- en non-profit organisaties de eerder genoemde instrumenten uit het NPM-model (strategische planning, prestatiemeting en -beloning) minder toepassen dan Angelsaksische agentschappen. Onder de Nederlandse overheidsorganisaties blijkt dat gemeenten de eerder genoemde instrumenten uit het NPM-model weer minder toepassen dan andere publieke sectoren.

Abstract:

Summary:Edition of stela MAA 1939.552, which was discovered in Amara West in 1938, but which was never properly published. The text is of a military nature and records a yet unknown land battle against the Philistines in the year 3 of a king whose name is lost. Whereas the stela was previously assigned to Ramses IV, a dating into the reign of Ramses III is proposed, thereby predating the beginning of the conflict with this group of the Sea Peoples by five years. Moreover, the text is partially incised in hieratic, which is unusual for royal war reports, and thus it provides further, exceptional evidence for lapidary hieratic.
