Selected 20th and 21st century representations of tribalism and modernity in South African literature: reassessing socio-historical process through (re)considerations of works of v... by Annie Gagiano

“…Opening with a brief historical contextualisation, the article takes the reader back to humanity’s prehistoric origins in southern Africa, then to its (and mankind’s) earliest known culture, that of the San/Bushmen, followed by the (returning) migrations of Khoikhoi and Bantu peoples to the area. Usings even literary texts, discussed in their order of composition, the article discusses these evocations as representing a spectrum of ways in which regional tribal cultures were, are or may be seen.The Khoikhoi elder Hendrik’s tale, told as well as transcribedin Afrikaans [now available in an English translation], is the first text; it addresses the ability of a tribal culture to correct aleader’s power abuse by means of verbal art and skill. …”

Reinterpreting Millenarian Sentiments at the Dutch Cape Colony by Anne Marieke van der Wal

Indigenous Common Names and Toponyms in Southern Africa by Peter E. Raper

Due to their primary onomastic function, descriptions or common names that identified and referred to geographical features gradually lost their descriptive or lexical semantic relevance and assumed the status of proper names. …”

Sudafricani, coloured, griqua: i cerchi concentrici di David’s Story by Giuliana Iannaccaro

“…In some cases, however, the re-reading of History on the part of minority groups to obtain social and political recognition tends to reproduce, and therefore to confirm, the stereotypes and simplifications that contributed to their marginalisation in the first place. The case of the Khoikhoi populations in South Africa – classified as ‘coloured’, but still claiming specific ethnic identities of their own – is read here through the lens of literature, and specifically through the novel David’s Story by Zoë Wicomb – a South African writer who has always avoided the trap of simplism both as narrator and as social and literary critic.…”

Oor Austro-Nederlands en die oorsprong van Afrikaans by C. de Ruyter, E.F. Kotzé

“…On Austro-Dutch and the origin of Afrikaans A widely accepted view of the origin of Afrikaans holds that the new language developed autochthonously, after 1652 when the language of the early Cape settlers was influenced by imported slaves speaking Malay and Portuguese, and by the pidgin talk of the Cape Khoikhoi. This “autochthonous hypothesis”, however, does not take cognizance of the fact that shortened (deflected) Dutch verb forms found in Afrikaans, for instance, are also found in loan words in the Ceylon-Portuguese creole, as well as in Indonesian, and Malay-influenced languages of Indonesia. …”
