  • The Poetry International Festival in Rotterdam

    Open AccessMałgorzata Drwal, Laurens HamARTICLEDutch Crossing2026

    This study examines how international political developments during the long 1990s (1989–2001) influenced the Poetry International Festival, focusing on both its programming and public image. It asks whether changing geopolitical conditions affected the selection of poets and the themes addressed in festival discussions. To analyse the festival’s image, the study employs Jérôme Meizoz’s concept of posture, adapting it so it encompasses a set of a…

  • Between Transnational Socialism and White Privilege

    Małgorzata DrwalARTICLEDutch Crossing2023Referências: 10

    In this article, I set out to introduce the Garment Workers Union (GWU) prose as a neglected part of Afrikaans-language literature. I offer an overview of texts written or translated by the GWU members and published in the official trade union organ Die Klerewerker/The Garment Worker. The presented workers’ reading list is divided into original Afrikaans writings and translations from English into Afrikaans. All these texts offered the newly crea…

  • The Garment Workers’ Union’s Pageant of Unity (1940) as manifestation of transnational working-class culture

    Open AccessMałgorzata DrwalARTICLETydskrif vir letterkunde2022Citada por: 1

    In this article, I examine the Garment Workers’ Union’s theatre as a manifestation of transnational working-class culture in the 1940s. Analysing Pageant of Unity (1940), a play in which Afrikaans and English alternate to express the equality of Afrikaans- and English-speaking workers in the face of exploitation, I offer an attempt to escape the confines of a national literature as linked to a single language. I demonstrate how the political page…

  • Afrikaans Working-Class Drama in the Early 1940s

    Małgorzata DrwalARTICLEDutch Crossing2022Citada por: 1Referências: 10

    This paper discusses the drama Die Offerande ['The Sacrifice'] (1941) by Hester Cornelius, in which the Soviet aesthetic of socialist realism was grafted onto an Afrikaner cultural setting. To outline the context in which the play was created and performed, this contribution elaborates on the representation of Soviet socialism in the South African trade union periodical Klerewerker/Garment Worker, where the play was published. It aims to demonstr…

  • The Feminism of Olive Schreiner and the Feminism of Aletta Jacobs

    Małgorzata DrwalARTICLEDutch Crossing2021Referências: 8

    This article explores points of contact between Olive Schreiner and Aletta Jacobs, two prominent first-wave feminists, presenting a case study of cultural mobility from South Africa to the Netherlands. Utilizing the histoire croisée approach, this contribution discusses the reception of Olive Schreiner's Woman and Labour in the Netherlands. It argues that the profile of Aletta Jacobs, who translated the text into Dutch, was decisive in forming Du…

  • Discourses of transnational feminism in Marie du Toit’s Vrou en feminist (1921)

    Open AccessMałgorzata DrwalARTICLETydskrif vir letterkunde2020

    In this article I investigate transtextuality in Vrou en feminist (Woman and Feminist, 1921) by Marie du Toit in order to demonstrate how she grafted first-wave transnational feminism onto the Afrikaans context. Du Toit’s book is approached as a space of contact between progressive European and North American thought and a South African, particularly Afrikaner, mindset. Du Toit relied on a multiplicity of late nineteenth and early twentieth centu…

  • A personal text owned by its public— changing readings of Sarah Raal’s Met die Boere in die Veld

    Open AccessMałgorzata DrwalARTICLETydskrif vir letterkunde2017

    What seems to be a typical feature of Boer women’s personal texts which refer to the Anglo-Boer War (1899–1902) is the militant rhetoric of protest against the British aggression. Met die Boere in die Veld (“With the Boers in the Veld”) by Sarah Raal is a perfect example of this trend. Yet, her case is unique, because she actually spent a part of the war in the veld, fighting side by side with her brothers, which definitely was not a traditional …
