Mens en klimaat soos uitgebeeld deur Katherine Graham en Abraham H. de Vries
This study is focussed on the experience of climate and how to live with it: with its effect on the physically perceptible and also on the imperceptible—the mental or psychological. The concept of climate is not based on natural and scientific facts exclusively. Following ecocritics who consider climate and climate change from a cultural angle, such as Alex Goodbody, Roger Fleming and Vladimir Jankovic, as well as Eva Horn and Solvejg Nitzke, I s…
Ecocritical Concerns in Select Afrikaans Narrative Works
Environmentally oriented literary and cultural studies, or ecocriticism for short, gained traction in the United States of America in the late 1980s. It took root in South Africa no earlier than the start of this century and has been applied to the field of Afrikaans literature only for about the last decade. At a conference in Nijmegen in 2010, the leading German ecocritic Axel Goodbody expressed concern about the slow spread of ecocriticism to …
Letterkunde as kulturele ekologie in Die Bergengel (Carina Stander)
Die Bergengel (The Angel of the Mountain), with its striking nature centeredness, is characterised by poetical and lyrical use of language. This aspect is drawn into the ecocritical study of the novel in this article. Hubert Zapf’s theory on literature as cultural ecology, placed within the theoretical frame of material ecocriticism, supplies the foundation for this study. An ecocritical reading of Die Bergengel leads to uncovering a counter-disc…
Heterotopiese ruimtes van krisis en die natuur se genesende invloed in Chinchilla (Nanette van Rooyen)
In this article, Michel Foucault’s term crises heterotopia is used to understand and describe the main character’s unique experience of particular places in Chinchilla. The article investigates the manner in which nature becomes part of the experience of crises heterotopias, and how the natural environment creates a space conducive to the processing of trauma within the novel. Images and experiences of nature offer the main character a “bridge” t…
Natuur en (skrywende) mens
Petra Müller’s collection of narrative works, Desembers (“Decembers”, 2007), allows for an investigation into the portrayal of identity aspects that occupy a central position in her oeuvre: the relationship between man and nature as well as the nature of authorship. These narratives reflect upon a human being’s place in the wide community of earth’s beings and forces, and elucidate the multiple levels of communication between man and other living…
We who cannot speak lived there first’
My plaas se naam is Vergenoeg (“My farm’s name is Vergenoeg [‘Far Enough’]”, 2005), a published play by George Weideman, is meaningful within the context of postcolonial discourse on land ownership and ecocritical views on the use of land. The play adds viewpoints to current postcolonial claims to land through several animal characters laying claim to being the first inhabitants, further commenting critically on man’s greed and destructiveness wi…
N Alternatiewe beskouing van die natuur se andersheid in E. Kotze se kortverhaal ‘Halfkrone vir die Nagmaal’
Diepsee: ’n Keur uit die verhale van E. Kotze (2014) refocuses our attention on Kotze’s short story collections which immortalised the sea and the littoral spaces of the West Coast in Afrikaans literature. This study comprises an ecocriticial investigation of the title story in Halfkrone vir die Nagmaal (1982), with attention to the manner in which distancing takes place from the conventional Western way of thinking by which is presumed that huma…
The New Nineteenth Century
This book includes essays on writers from the 1840s to the 1890s, well known writers such as Anne Bronte, Wilkie Collins and Bram Stoker, lesser known writers such as Geraldine Jewsbury, Charles Reade, Margaret Oliphant, George Moore, Sarah Grand and Mary Ward. The contributors explore important thematic concerns: the relation between private and public realms; gender and social class; sexuality and the marketplace; and male and female cultural i…
Antisemitism and Social Critique in Dickens's Oliver Twist
W HEN SIKES AND NANCY RECAPTURE OLIVER , in Dickens's Oliver Twist , intending to return him to the gang of thieves, Sikes warns Oliver against crying out to passersby, announcing that his dog will go for Oliver's throat if he so much as speaks one word. Looking at the dog, who is eyeing Oliver and growling and licking his lips, “with a kind of grim and ferocious approval,” Sikes tells Oliver, “He's as willing as a Christian, strike me blind if h…

Efficiency in Education
Imperialism at Home
In Anxious Celebration
In a letter to the radical periodical, the New Masses , in October of 1930, one reader requested more satire from the artists who published in its pages, art with “greater revolutionary purpose.” The drawings of an artist like Louis Lozowick, Vern Jessup complained, were suspiciously ambiguous: “In the New Masses they're proletarian art. What do you call them when they appear in the bourgeois business magazines, as they do?” Louis Lozowick, a Rus…
"Black" Rage and White Women
Critics of Charlotte Bronte's juvenilia have noticed the passionate interest in contemporary politics reflected in her early writings: her fascination with the Duke of Wellington, the characters named after other contemporary figures, the allusions to current affairs, such as Catholic Emancipation, and the important formative influence of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine. Yet the way in which the Bronte children's early tales are most fundamentally…
