Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
With the death of the folk storytelling tradition in Igbo society, the hope of passing Igbo stories to future generations seems to lie with the novel and dramatic theatre. Unfortunately, in the past two to three decades, both the reading culture and theatre practice in Igbo land have seriously declined. The political situation, the economy, the non-practical approach to problem solving by the literary and cultural intellectuals, the ceaseless streaming of popular and trash cultures from the West through television into Igbo towns and villages, the rise of home movies with pseudo-voodoo stories, have all contributed to the demise of honest and purposeful storytelling in Igbo society. Confronted by a society on the threshold of losing its identity, I thought of a practical step I could take to address the situation through the dramatic adaptation of one Igbo novel, Chinua Achebe's A Man of the People. Adapting the novel to stage offered me two opportunities in one: to contribute not only towards the revival of literary appreciation, but also of theatre practice, which, as anthropologists like Victor Turner, have argued, belongs to popular culture. This task involved rewriting the novel into a drama script, producing it on stage in Igbo land and observing how it impacted on the audience and community. I chose to adapt A Man of the People because of its relevance to my understanding of the socio-political atmosphere in Igbo land and in Nigeria as a whole. In order to understand the context, and complete my adaptation, I examined and analysed the history of the Igbo people, culture and literature, the political atmosphere in Nigeria and the nature of African drama. Adaptations, according to Linda Hutcheon, are not simply repetitions. They rather 'affirm and reinforce basic cultural assumptions' (Hutcheon 2006: 176) while re-creating and re-interpreting an earlier story in the light of new realities. Ours is a society in need of its earlier stories for its continued existence as a people, and as a nation with shared values. My conclusion is that adaptation and dramatisation can have an important role to play in reviving and then, in maintaining the Igbo culture and improving literary appreciation among the people.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 209-215)This thesis examines contemporary migration narratives by four African writers living in the diaspora and writing in English: Leila Aboulela and Jamal Mahjoub from the Sudan, now living in Scotland and Spain respectively and Abdulrazak Gurnah and Moyez G. Vassanji from Tanzania now residing in the UK and Canada. Focusing on how language operates in relation to both culture and identity, this study foregrounds the complexities of migration as cultural translation. Cultural translation is a concept which locates itself in postcolonial literary theory as well as translation studies. The manipulation of English in such a way as to signify translated experience is crucial in this regard. The thesis focuses on a particular angle on cultural translation for each writer under discussion: translation of Islam and the strategic use of nostalgia in Leila Aboulela's texts; translation and the production of scholarly knowledge in Jamal Mahjoub's novels; translation and storytelling in Abdulrazak Gurnah's fiction; and finally translation between the individual and old and new communities in Vassanji's work. The conclusion of the thesis brings all four writer's texts into conversation across these angles. What emerges from this discussion across the chapter boundaries is that cultural translation rests on ongoing complex processes of transformation determined by idiosyncratic factors like individual personality as well as social categories like nationality, race, class and gender. The thesis thus contributes to the understanding of migration as a common condition of the postcolonial world as well as offering a detailed look at particular travellers and their unique journeys.

The thesis is a two-fold response to how human rights awareness can be integrated into fiction for secondary schools. The exegesis – framed by the interdisciplinary perspectives of human rights, human rights education, and comparative literature – examines African understandings of human rights against universalist ideas, discusses the relationship between rights and fiction, and analyses five short stories by African writers. My creative work is a collection of ten short stories that interrogate complexity around human rights.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Magister Artium - MAIn this paper I attempt to look critically at the literary construction of one particular 'race', namely the 'Coloureds', in Sarah Gertrude Millin's God's Stepchildren. To this end, the paper draws on the historical background of Millin, and investigates the way in which Millin has consciously and strategically formed, as it were, a 'unique' Coloured identity. Furthermore, the paper explores the proximity or tension between author and narrator in the novel. This tension, I suggest, emerges in response to various pressures in the novel which in turn are based upon the author's social, political and economic background. Evidence to this effect is derived from Millin's biography and other sources. What emerges from the paper is that the concepts 'race' and 'Coloured', as they are employed in this novel, are equally elusive. In attempting to piece together a 'race', the novel communicates Millin's aversion to miscegenation, and discloses characteristics of her 'self'. Ironically, I conclude, she falls prey to the same kinds of prejudices that she projects onto her literary subjects.

Raj, Lea Ann. „The outsider figure in Lewis Nkosi's Mating birds and Underground People“. Thesis, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/10413/9060.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis will examine the trope of the outsider figure in Lewis Nkosi's two
novels, Mating Birds (1986) and Underground People (2002). Since both novels
are set in South Africa and are informed by the political context of this country at
particular junctures, the thesis will focus on the. effects of apartheid on the two
black protagonists - central characters yet 'outsider figures' - in these novels.
This thesis will argue that Lewis Nkosi's own position as an 'outsider figure' in
South African letters plays an important function in his writing. In support of this
point, I will therefore also refer to his non fictional books, Home and Exile and
Other Selections (1965) and Tasks and Masks: themes and styles of African
Literature (1981). These books are particularly important because they document
Nkosi's comments on South African literature and his position as the 'outsider'
acerbic critic. Nkosi can be seen as an outsider figure being a young, black
South African living in an apartheid South Africa, and also, later, as a writer in
exile.
I have chosen Mating Birds and Underground People to illustrate my argument
because they are not simply 'protest' novels, (in the sense Nkosi argued in Home
and Exile and Tasks and Masks that so much black South African literature of a
certain era was), but rather they examine the complex effects of exclusion, with
regard to race and politics, on the individual. As the 'outsider' figure found full
expression in French existentialist writing, I will also look at constructions of the
outsider figure from an existentialist perspective. In his preface to the 2002
edition of Mating Birds, Nkosi reveals that the novel was to a large extent
influenced by Albert Camus' The Outsider (1942). In writing The Outsider,
Camus explores questions raised by the philosophy of existentialism. Similarly,
Nkosi looks at black existence in a hostile apartheid environment, the absurdity
of Sibiya's predicament and how he came to be there. He also explores the
harshness of the physical environment which is a literal representation of Sibiya's
anguish. Postcolonial analysis of 'othering', a logical extension of existentialism's
'outsider' figure will be used to support my argument.
Mating Birds (1986), among other accolades, won the prestigious Macmillan
International Pen Prize. Set between the 1950's and 1960's, it explores the
divisions and prejudices that were experienced between white and black in a
country steeped in racism and division. It deals primarily with the obsession an
educated, young, black man, Ndi Sibiya, has for a white woman, Veronica Slater.
Their illicit sexual relationship results in Sibiya being tried and convicted, by a
white court, for rape. Underground People (2002), Nkosi's second novel, set in
the late 1980's and early 1990's, takes the reader into the world of politics and
underground resistance during the apartheid regime in South Africa. It narrates
the adventures of Cornelius Molapo, an awkward member of the "National
Liberation Movement", the fictional name of the African National Congress.
Chapter One of this mini-dissertation will focus on a definition and exploration of
the outsider figure in selected literary and theoretical works. Chapter Two will
focus on the life and works of Lewis Nkosi in an effort to link the trope of the
outsider figure to Nkosi's own life experience. His books, Tasks and Masks and
Home and Exile, both collections of essays, help the reader to develop a picture
of Nkosi, not only as a writer but also as a literary critic whose writing developed
while in exile.
Chapter Three and Four will provide a literary analysis of Mating Birds and
Underground People, respectively. The analysis will deal with the outsider figure
as a prominent feature of both these novels. Post-colonial analyses such as
forwarded by Edward Said, Gayatri Spivak and Homi Bhabha will be used to
advance the thesis.
The conclusion (Chapter Five) will refer briefly to Nkosi's current writing projects
and situate them in the post-apartheid South African context. An assessment of
the on-going potential for the 'outsider' figure in Nkosi's contemporary work will
be made.Thesis (M.A)-University of Durban Westville, 2005.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis is divided into two main parts. Part one is the presentation of the ethnomusicological research study on Abigbo choral dance music, and indigenous music type found in the Mbaise area of Ibgo land in Nigeria. This part is made up of three chapters. Chapter one present the research out line for this work, which contains the Background of the study, personal motivation for the study, need for the study, methodology and value of the study. Chapter two presents a study of Abigbo music and the musicians. In this chapter, the researcher discussed the socio-cultural and creative milieu of Abigbo musicians, the creative performance process, the theoretical content of Abigbo music, and the artistic criticism as well as social aesthetics normative in Abigbo music appreciation. Chapter three of the work discussed transcription and analyses of traditional Ibgo music. Some problems of transcription and analyses in Ibgo music are argued from the perspectives of other writers and the researcher’s experience. The transcription and analysis techniques are then applied to selection Abigbo music repertory. This part of the thesis is, therefore, an Ethnomusicological study of Abigbo music and musicians in which identifiable musical elements, compositional principles and the stylistic forte of Abigbo choral-dance music are discussed. The research-study enables the researcher to identify seminal compositional materials for the modern symphony orchestra composition deriving from the creative principles of Abigbo music. Part two of this work is, essentially, an original creative work for the modern symphony orchestra applying the musical elements, compositional principles and style of Abigbo choral-dance music. This part is in three chapters: four, five and six. Chapter four is the composition of “Abigbo for Modern Symphony Orchestra”. It is a three movement orchestral work in contrasting tempi, in which the second movement introduces a male chorus with the orchestra. Chapter five is a detailed analysis of the work and its compositional procedure. Chapter six presents the conclusions and projections emanating from the study. Part II then presents a perspective in the creative continuum of African music informed by Abigbo choral-dance music. It is a study of Abigbo choral-dance music of the Mbaise people in Igbo land of Nigeria and the application of its elements, compositional principles and style in the composition of modern art music for a modern symphony orchestra.Thesis (DMus)--University of Pretoria, 2006.

CPE is Western in origin, it can be transplanted and adapted to the Igbo soil and be fedb with the local nutrients. In the view of the researcher, this can bring about a new CPE model which is called the "Family/Community-Based CPE Model." The above mentioned model puts the family and community at the center of the CPE program. The CPE center will be located in a community-based setting that will enable the CPE students to visit different families and experience community life and to learn how the people respond to different events in their lives. The students can also visit ceremonies that give meaning to the people's lives such as marriage, naming, funerals and other events through which the people express their communal life. Inter-professional collaboration can take place between the CPE center and different professionals, as well as the local practitioners. All these experiences will form part of the verbatim reports and reflections during the program. The already existing actionreflection- action model of CPE will be remodeled to be theory-observation-action-reflection. It is this CPE model that the researcher proposes for the Igbo society.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2005.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This dissertation is concerned with the restoration of relevance of the Church ministry into the
family system, in a given cultural area. The Igbo people of Nigeria are the principal foci for
the research. They have experienced difficult times which this research considers to be the
source for their emotional depression. One of the greatest problems which a family can face is
being in crisis. Under this condition, it is completely disorganized. Such a family cannot think
constructively nor plan together as a family for ways ahead, unless they are assisted. The joy
and happiness of family life is lost. This study considers emotional depression to be a crisis
faced by a dysfunctional family. Despite the presence of many Churches in Igboland, more families
are still facing crisis. This points to the idea that the Church is not yet responding well to
the caring needs of her members. The researcher believes that if the Anglican Church in Igboland
can adopt the concept of the death and resurrection of Jesus after three days, which she teaches,
in her caring ministry her services to the families will be more relevant. To succeed in this,
the socio-cultural background of the people must be put into consideration. The main discussion
on the crisis faced by the Igbo families is in chapters four and five. Chapter two gives the
social, political, religious and economic background responsible for the crisis of the Igbos
within Nigeria. Chapter three deals with the family system, highlighting both the functional and
dysfunctional family system. Chapter six looks into the meaning ofthe Church and pastoral care by
the Church, while chapter seven considers ways and means of restoring hope to a depressed family.
The researcher believes that a sincere giving of pastoral care and counselling within the
Anglican Church in Igboland will bring about the healing, sustaining, reconciling and restoring
of the already depressed families. This will mean resurrection of family life. There will be true
reconciliation among individuals within a family and between the family and God.Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2001.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Owing to changes brought by modernisation, folktales and other folklore genres are
often looked down upon, and thought by many to be outdated. The aim of this study is
to explore manipulative behaviour in Siswati folktales. The study glanced at how
manipulation is used in folktales, i.e. the causes and key strategies used by
manipulators to manipulate their victims. The focus was on the conformism of
manipulation in folktales, to current practice of manipulation in different social
institutions, implication of manipulation, and how manipulation could be controlled.
The researcher used the qualitative research method to collect and analyse data. To
achieve the objectives of the study, data was collected from 28 folktale books that were
purposefully selected for the purpose of providing information to answer the research
questions. All data collected was analysed using ’Neuman’s (2000) Analytic Approach
whereby the Method of Agreement and the Method of Difference was utilised. Data
was categorised into different themes teased from the folktales for analysis.
Based on the findings of the research, it is evident that manipulation prevails in Siswati
folktales. Different characters are being manipulated in different settings using different
strategies and tools. The powerful manipulate the less powerful, the intelligent
manipulate the less gifted, and the rich manipulate the poor, while the knowledgeable
manipulate the ignorant. The research findings relate very well with the current
manipulative behaviour practiced by different social institutions and almost every
individual and society is affected. Furthermore, the research reveals that manipulation
can be curbed if current victims of manipulation decide to expose manipulative acts and join forces to fight the manipulator. In this case, it is recommended that different
stakeholders from various departments join forces to fight manipulative tendencies that
prevail in different institutions and society as a whole. The present study may revitalize
the urge and the need to reconsider the study of folktales, since their themes remain
the same.African Languages

This research on the subject is one of a few written in the medium of isiZulu. Further, it is one of the few conducted on masikandi music in this depth. It identifies and analyzes strategies used by Zulu masikandis in their music.
The researcher in this study demonstrated that Zulu masikandis comprise males and females and that at present male masikandis are dominating this genre. Besides that, the study also revealed two categories of Zulu masikandis: those who recorded their music and those who could not. The researcher demonstrated also that Zulu masikandis use different effective strategies for different purposes in their music. He demonstrated that Zulu masikandis use different strategies to introduce themselves to their followers and their counterparts, to brag about certain members of their groups, to coin and use nicknames, to reveal their themes, to reveal their emotions, to use various types of imagery and to use strategies which are the results of influences of factors like Christianity, riddles, folktales and praise-poems.
Some of the challenges are that other masikandis find it very difficult to record their music owing to financial problems, other producers are corrupt, as masikandis are influential figures in public there is a danger that they can mislead the public by coining and spreading unstandardized Zulu expressions through their songs.
Finally, it must be pointed out that the study of masikandi music, particularly strategies used by Zulu masikandis, makes a great contribution to the study of literature. The reason is that it introduces a new path, the different strategies used by Zulu masikandis in their music, categories of Zulu masikandis, nicknames for Zulu masikandis which are coined by themselves and sometimes
by members of the public and different methods of collecting data to be used by other researchers. Therefore, it is worthy of publication.African Languages
