- ItemAspekte van gesinsveerkragtigheid in verskillende groepe gesinne(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2011-07) Greeff, Abraham P.; University of Stellenbosch Language CentreOfskoon relatief min navorsing nog oor gesinsveerkragtigheid gedoen is, het navorsers soos McCubbin en McCubbin (1996) en Walsh (2003) uitgebreide teorieë ontwikkel wat met vrug deur navorsers gebruik kan word. Hier word ’n kort oorsig gegee van gepubliseerde ondersoeke na aspekte van gesinsveerkragtigheid in verskillende gesinspopulasies in Suid-Afrika. Bevindinge dui daarop dat sekere eienskappe meestal teenwoordig is om gesinne in staat te stel om by ’n krisis aan te pas. Ander eienskappe blyk weer meer van belang te wees wanneer die bepaalde krisis of die tipe gesin dit vereis. Ten slotte word aanbevelings vir toekomstige navorsing gemaak.
- ItemCommunity psychology: constructing community, reconstructing psychology in South Africa(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2000) Naidoo, Anthony V.An inaugural lecture is an important rite of passage in any university, serving two primary purposes. It is an opportunity for the university as an institution to induct and introduce its new academic appointee to the university community, to the local community and to the general public. For the appointee, it serves as a first formal opportunity to present him- or herself, to communicate his or her thoughts, ideas and intentions regarding the discipline or academic field to which he or she is expected to provide academic leadership and to initiate research. I’d like to structure my presentation into the following chapter or headings: 1) The personal context 2) Reconstructing Psychology in South Africa: The call for a relevant psychology 3) Community Psychology 4) Constructing Community: Implementing a community psychology project 5) Towards a Community Psychology curriculum 6) The University’s accountability to community development
- ItemThe confessio of an academic Ahab: or, how I sank my own disciplinary ship(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch University, 2012-11) De Kock, LeonLeon de Kock matriculated at Mayfair High School, Johannesburg, in 1973. In 1974 he enrolled at the former Rand Afrikaans University, now the University of Johannesburg, to read for a BA in law, completing a BA Honours in English in 1978. After six years full time in journalism, he re-joined academia when a British Council scholarship enabled him to read Commonwealth, American and African Literature at the University of Leeds. Upon his return to South Africa from Leeds in 1984, he was appointed as lecturer in the department of English at the University of South Africa (UNISA), where he eventually became a full professor. In 2007/2008, he was appointed – after 22 years of service at UNISA – as Head of the School of Literature and Language Studies at the University of the Witwatersrand, assuming the position of personal professor. At Wits he also convened and expanded the creative writing programme. In 2010 he accepted a chair in English at Stellenbosch University. He has published widely, producing 37 accredited scholarly articles to date, with more in the pipeline, as well as 10 accredited book chapters, a monograph, several book-length works of literary translation, a novel, and three volumes of poetry. He has also edited literary works. His awards include the Pringle Prize (for poetry, 1995, and for best scholarly article, 2011), the SA Translators’ Institute for Outstanding Translation (for Triomf, 2000), the SA Literary Awards (SALA) prize for literary translation, the Chancellor’s Prize for Research, UNISA (twice), and the Council of Editors of Learned Journals’ (CELJ, affiliated to the MLA) award for Best Special Issue of a journal, for Poetics Today 22 (2) 2001, South Africa in the Global Imaginary.
- ItemFree satellite data key to conservation(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2018-07) Buchanan, G. M.; Beresford, A. E.; Hebblewhite, M.; Escobedo, F. J.; De Klerk, H. M.; Donald, P. F.; Escribano, P.; Koh, L. P.; Martínez-Lopez, J.; Pettorelli, N.; Skidmore, A. K.; Szantoi, Z.; Tabor, K.; Wegmann, M.; Wich, S.INTRODUCTION: Biodiversity is in crisis, with extinction rates orders of magnitude higher than background levels (1). Underfunded conservationists need to target their limited resources effectively. Over the past decade, satellite remote sensing has revolutionized our ability to monitor biodiversity globally, and is now used routinely, especially by nongovernmental organizations, to detect changes, set priorities, and target conservation action.

- ItemKultuur, mag en ongelykheid in Suid-Afrika : die relevansie van die antropologie ontwikkeling en organisasies(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2003-07) Van der Waal, KeesENGLISH ABSTRACT: Joseph Khosa, a young man from the Berlyn settlement in the Limpopo Province, died tragically in a motorcar accident at the end of 2001. I dedicate this inaugural address to his remembrance. Joseph was, as a 15 year old, the first person to reach out to me socially during my fieldwork in his settlement in 1986. From him and his friends I learnt endlessly during those months and during follow-up fieldwork periods - not only about the demanding circumstances of life in a rural settlement, via the gossip about the people of Berlyn, but also about the importance of ideas and social processes that made sense in daily existence in places such as Berlyn. The soccer team was, for example, an important social unit which tied the younger generation together in opposition to the conservative older people and from this source came the young members of the civic and the comrades. Joseph's life was a demonstration of the creative manner in which life was arranged amidst a lack of material security. Our lives were two contrasting points on the continuum of inequality in this country - the researcher representing the elite and the son of two farm-workers who could not afford to travel the 10 km to their children more than once a month. Joseph's world was larger than the farm and the settlement: he drew house plans, did not give up on getting his matric and he kept on looking for economic opportunities in Johannesburg by using his social network extremely creatively. However, he was on the lowest rung of the social ladder: the school where he matriculated could not prepare him for the world of work and modern skills. In the globalised economy of South Africa he and his friends would remain excluded from the benefits of international economic growth and free trade: condemned to remain unemployed or to do semi-skilled world. In the affluent part of society the stories of people like Joseph are not of much importance. Poor people need to know their place. Social categories are put in a ranking order according to the needs of the powerful. These categories are, however, not rigid units that are uncontested, as was recently discovered to their dismay by the house committee of Majuba residence at this university. When three masked students attacked two "daga- rokers" at night, they did this in line with their beliefs about hostel culture and its categories of inclusion and exclusion. What was included were those things about which "die manne" agreed, for example, to excel in sport and fun, but also to keep the stereotypical ideas about "the other" in place. Given that kind of group dynamics and related perceptions, it does not matter too much that you have a photograph on your hostel's website which celebrates the old South African flag. Another photograph indicates that it is not a problem to cover the wall at the urinal with photographs of pin-up girls. This emphasis on unbeaten white South Africanness and enjoyable sexism correlates well with the interests of a part of the professional white workers who are situated opposite the end of the continuum where Joseph Khosa was found. Such categories and their effects do not suddenly appear from nowhere and will not easily change as long as power relations in society coincide with extreme inequalities between the elite and the rest. In this address, I want to consider the question of the contribution of social anthropology to our understanding of aspects of social reality. I want to do this by looking at the way in which the subject is manifested in South Africa, take a quick look at the core concepts and methods of the subject and add some remarks about the way in which these insights and methods are applied in the anthropology of development and the anthropology of organisations. Woven into this discussion are some comments on the phenomena of culture, power and inequality.

Dit maak vir my sin. Tyd kan glo vlieg en toe ons met woorde begin werk om LIP aanmekaar te sit, het dit ‘n realiteit geword. Woorde kan ook vlieg! Dit vlieg ver en kry voete. Daar waar dit aanklank vind, ontstig, ontroer, laat lag, laat huil, laat hoendervleis kry en waardering kweek. Dit trap diep op plekke, skop elders, drentel hier en hardloop daar, maar staan nooit stil nie. In al hierdie oomblikke kry woorde betekenis en gee aan die leser vlerke om te reis waar praat, luister en kyk nie kan nie. Ek glo dis wat LIP vir jou gaan doen. Daar was te veel stories en te min papier. Ons moes woorde sny en wysig. Ek dink aan die skitterende Drukkoker en ‘n Ander Tongval waarby ons weens logistieke redes nie by uitgekom het nie. Daarom noem ek hulle nou! Ons woorde is steeds eerlik, speels en dartelend. Dis goed so! Lekker Lip-aflek!
- ItemLIP Woordfeeskoerant 2009(Stellenbosch : University of Stellenbosch, 2009) Maré, Annelie; Du Plessis, Charl; Van Schie, Kristen; Haasbroek, François; Janse van Rensburg, Alet; Molatlhwa, Olebogeng; Cilliers, Mia; Louw, Martinette; Ncala, Nokuthula; Steele, Samantha; De Vries, Blanché; Harbour, Tarryn; Cloete, Salette; Daneel, Roeline; Davis, Tracey-Lee; Dippenaar, Thinus; Hendricks, Colin; Myburgh, Pieter-Louis; Nel, Jody; Stehle, Rudolf; Viviers, Gerda-Marié; Warren, JoeDie Wes-Kaap is ’n vreemde land vir diegene van die ander kant van die Tonnel. Hier stóp mense by voetoorgange, by vulstasies word jy in Afrikaans bedien en daar is selfs ’n kans dat jy hier ’n regering kan aantref wat nie deur die ANC oorheers word nie. Die tiende jaarlikse Woordfees, aangebied deur die Universiteit van Stellenbosch se departement Afrikaans en Nederlands is eweneens so ’n rare verskynsel. Mense van die land van mynhope en jakarandas is gewoond aan feeste soos Aardklop en selfs die Klein-Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees. Dáár is die Huisgenoot-tent vroeg reeds vol mense met piekniekmandjies of kiste bier en is Dowwe Dolla bo aan die lys van vermaak. Ander drentel van stalletjie tot stalletjie, elkeen met sy eie oorverdowende musiek. Mnr Eduard Rosenstrauch, die Woordfees se projekbestuurder, sê dit is juis nie die doel van die Eikestadfees nie. “Ons probeer spesifiek nie die stalletjies en goed, daai straatfees namaak nie. Dit wat ons Saterdag doen, is op ’n baie kleiner skaal sodat mense nie vertrap word nie.” André P. Brink het as spreker by die opening van die Woordfees aangedui dat daar deesdae feeste agter elke bos en klip is. Die belangrike Afrikaanse skrywer het verduidelik waarom veral die Woordfees dus so belangrik is om taal te bevorder. Hy het die verhaal vertel van ’n jong seun in ’n Nazi-konsentrasiekamp wat beveel is om ’n skoenlapper te teken. Die seun skryf toe eenvoudig dat hy geen skoenlappers kon sien nie. “Ons enigste antwoord op die donker samelewing is die woord,” sê Brink. En so het die fees van 2009 steeds gefokus op die woord, veral die Afrikaanse woord. Skrywers het soos gewoonlik voorgelees en onderhoude gevoer, maar dit was in Aan Tafel wat feesgangers regtig nader aan die skrywers en kunstenaars gebring is. Hier is middagete of aandete geniet terwyl onderhoude rondom die tafel met die verskillende persoonlikhede gevoer is. Die gehoor het ook later kans gekry om vrae te stel. Interaksie, interaksie... Woorde bestryk ook ander kunsvorme en hiervan het die fees deeglik kennis gegee. Debatte met denkers en meningsvormers, die Sanlam-dramafees, ’n verskeidenheid digkuns, lirieke en musiek was deel van die aanbod. Al die groot name in die Afrikaanse kunswêreld, met die waarskynlike uitsondering van Steve, het op die program verskyn. Om alles te kroon, het vanjaar se fees saamgeval met ’n hele paar belangrike verjaarsdae, waaronder dié van Hennie Aucamp en PG du Plessis wat albei 75 word, en Chris Barnard 70. Die Woordfees is vanjaar 10 jaar oud met “lag-lag” as die hooftema. Hulle wou meer komedie in vanjaar se fees hê, het Rosenstrauch gesê, want baie mense het deesdae ’n goeie rede nodig om te kan lag. Hieraan het Uys Krige se klassieke teaterproduksie, Die Ryk Weduwee, wat as die fees se vlagskip-produksie beskou word, volkome voldoen. Dit is egter ’n fout dat die fees net gemik is op ’n verfynde, uitgelese minderheid. Die fees het genoeg vermaak gebied om ook die studente te lok. Volgens Rosenstrauch is dit ’n probleem vir die Woordfees en die universiteit in sy geheel dat die studente onverskillig teenoor die fees staan. Dit is ondanks goedkoop kaartjies. “Studente sê hulle’t nooit geld nie, maar dan gaan kuier hulle buitendien elke Vrydagaand,” meen hy. Oor die toekoms van die fees het Rosenstrauch gesê ’n groot besluit wag op die feesdirekteure. Dit kan of sy klein formaat behou of dit kan ’n groot “doef-doef”-fees word. Hoe dit ookal sy, ’n mens kan nie anders nie as om optimisties te voel dat juis hierdie fees die versoenings- of eenheidsfees kan word wat die land so nodig het. Dit nou te oordeel aan baanbrekende produksies soos Dig Deep Paseka and Refiloe-Hape wat vanjaar by die fees te sien was. Antjie Krog, een van Afrikaans se uitsonderlikste woordkunstenaars, het vir dié woordmusiekopvoering tradisionele Sotho-liedjies en gedigte in Afrikaans vertaal. (Lees gerus op bl. 4 Olebogeng Molatlhwa se stuk oor dié produksie.) En dalk moet ’n mens volstaan met die woorde van prof Russel Botman, rektor van die US: “Dis laglag vorentoe, nie agtertoe nie.”

- ItemMusiek, kulturele diversiteit, menswaardigheid en demokrasie in Suid-Afrika(Stellenbosch : Stellenbosch Universiteit, 2009-04-21) Ludemann, WinfriedIn die voordrag word drie verskillende klemme geplaas: i.) aanduiding van uiteenlopende navorsingsbelangstellings is, ii.) gevolgtrekkings daaruit vir 'n duideliker fokus vorentoe vir die Departement Musiek, en iii.) hoe musiek en navorsing oor musiek 'n bydrae kan lewer tot die breër navorsingsfokus van die Universit eit Stellenbosch. 'n Voorbeeld volg van hoe die skeppende kuns op 'n heel spesifieke manier 'n rol te speel het in die uitdagings wat ons omgewing vandag aan ons stel. Die voordrag word in die volgende punte ingedeel: 'n Hoofdeel wat handel oor diversiteit, gevolg deur gedagtes oor musiek in die konteks van 'n diverse kulturele omgewing en hoe musiek met die herstel en uitbouing van menswaardigheid in ons samelewing in verband gebring kan word, 'n samelewing wat vandag gelukkig binne die raamwerk van 'n demokratiese bestel funksioneer. Daar word afgesluit met enkele opmerkings oor die navorsingsfokus in die Musiekdepartement en aan die Universiteit Stellenbosch.
- ItemMusiek, kulturele diversiteit, menswaardigheid en demokrasie in Suid-Afrika(2009-04) Ludemann, WinfriedAs 'n mens 'n intreerede voorberei, dan vra jy jouself noodgedwonge af watter soort voordrag 'n intreerede nou eintlik is. Aan die een kant word daar sekerlik verwag dat dit op een of ander wyse 'n vakkundige voordrag moet wees, aan die ander kant moet ek ook die persone in aanmerking neem wat nie ewekniemusiekvakkund iges is nie en dus seker in iets meer algemeen belangstel, of dalk selfs 'n toekomsvisie of aanduiding van beleidsrigting vir die Departement Musiek verwag. Daarom wil ek poog om in my voordrag drie verskillende klemme te plaas: i.) ek wi! poog om in die voordrag wei 'n aanduiding van my uiteenlopende navorsingsbelangstellings te gee op 'n wyse wat algemeen verstaanbaar ls,' ii.) ek wil probeer om daaruit gevolgtrekkings te maak vir 'n duideliker fokus vorentoe vir die Departement Musiek, waarvan ek die voorreg het om voorsitter te wees, en iii.) ek wil aantoon hoe musiek en navorsing oo r musiek na my mening 'n bydrae kan lewer tot die breer navorsingsfokus van die Universit eit Stellenbosch. En omdat ons vanmiddag in 'n musiekomgewing is, het ek besluit om sommer die daad by die woord te voeg en te wys hoe ek persoonlik probeer om van hierdie idees op my beskeie manier ook in musiek om te sit.
