dc.description.abstract | ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study aims to identify patriarchal and nostalgic symbols in popular Afrikaans
music videos. With a complex South African history, the issue of power or loss of
power is often linked to the Afrikaner in modern society. It is argued that this so-called
loss of power has had a profound impact on the identity formation of the Afrikaner
group in a democratic South Africa, more specifically after the 1994 elections. From
this political and cultural positioning, nostalgia plays a significant role when creating
exclusive spaces with which the Afrikaner community can identify in an attempt to
experience a degree of belonging, familiarity and security.
This analysis is carried out through Bourdieu's capital, field and habitat theory as a
theoretical lens to determine which cultural markers are used to create these exclusive
and romanticised spaces for the Afrikaner. Spaces like the farm have special
significance for the Afrikaner, and this study focuses on music videos that display the
extent to which the farm and additional symbols such as farm equipment and clothing
play a role in the Afrikaner's identity formation. Cultural Afrikaner spaces are further
studied to investigate specific hierarchical structures and role distribution and division,
especially between men and women. The idea of a conventional family structure with
specific responsibilities linked to men and women also emphasises nostalgic practices
that clearly surfaced in the conservative and traditional Afrikaner families. These roles
often reinforce the view that women, in particular, should be the supporting figure for
men.
Various Afrikaans music videos are divided according to three categories from the
above cultural spaces and practices, namely (1) the longing for an Afrikaner nationalist
environment, (2) the longing for the farm, and (3) the positioning of the man as primary
figure and leader and the woman as secondary support figure within the Afrikaner
community.
The symbols and cultural capital mentioned above, which are investigated in the
context of popular music videos, possibly create a confusing and often misconstrued
images between reality and fictional spaces used to escape reality. These spaces are created and structured to provide the Afrikaner with an opportunity for escape to a
place that feels more familiar ─ “the good old days”. | en_ZA |
dc.description.abstract | AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die doel van hierdie studie is om patriargale en nostalgiese simbole in populêre
Afrikaanse musiekvideo’s te identifiseer. Met ’n komplekse Suid-Afrikaanse
geskiedenis word die kwessie rondom mag of die verlies daarvan dikwels aan die
Afrikanerkultuur gekoppel. Daar word geargumenteer dat hierdie sogenaamde
magsverlies ’n hewige impak op die identiteitsvorming van die Afrikanergroep in ’n
demokratiese Suid-Afrika het, spesifiek na die 1994-verkiesing. Juis vanuit hierdie
posisionering speel nostalgie ’n beduidende rol wanneer eksklusiewe ruimtes geskep
word waarmee spesifiek die Afrikanergemeenskap kan vereenselwig in ’n poging om
’n mate van tuiste, bekendheid en veiligheid te ervaar.
Die analise word met behulp van Bourdieu se kapitaal-, veld en habitusteorie uitgevoer
om vas te stel watter kulturele merkers gebruik word om hierdie eksklusiewe en
romantiese ruimtes vir die Afrikaner te skep. ’n Ruimte soos die plaas het spesiale
betekenis vir die Afrikaner en daar word in die musiekvideo’s gekyk in hoe ’n mate die
plaas en bykomende simbole soos plaastoerusting en kleredrag ’n rol in die Afrikaner
se identiteitsvorming speel. Kulturele Afrikanerruimtes word verder bestudeer om
spesifieke hiërargiese strukture en rolverdeling, veral tussen man en vrou, te
ondersoek. Die idee van ’n konvensionele gesinstruktuur met spesifieke
verantwoordelikhede wat aan mans en vrouens gekoppel word sluit ook aan by
nostalgiese praktyke wat duidelik in die konserwatiewe en tradisionele
Afrikanergesinne figureer. Hierdie rolle bevestig dikwels dat veral vrouens die
ondersteunende rol vir die man moet wees.
Verskeie Afrikaanse musiekvideo’s word volgens drie kategorieë vanuit die
bogenoemde kulturele ruimtes en praktyke verdeel, naamlik (1) die verlange na
Afrikanernasionalistiese tuiste, (2) die verlange na die plaas, en (3) die posisionering
van die man as primêre figuur en leier en die vrou as sekondêre ondersteuningsfiguur
binne die Afrikanergemeenskap.
Hierdie bogenoemde simbole wat dikwels in die musiekvideo’s figureer skep ’n
verwarrende en onakkurate beeld tussen realiteit en fiktiewe ruimtes wat gebruik word
om die realiteit te ontsnap. Hierdie ruimtes word juis geskep en gestruktureer om vir die Afrikaner geleentheid vir ontsnapping te bied na ’n plek wat meer bekend voel ─
“die goeie ou dae”. | af_ZA |
