Loimeier); the art of Ivan Vladislavic (S. Saayman); the film 'Tsotsi' (Gavin Hood 2005) (L. Martin, in French); representation of women in media and novels post-1994 (M. Wenzel); the loosening of tongues on taboo subjects in South African literature (V. Briault Manus); contestation of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in literature (B. Deb); the real effectiveness of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (S.I. Dube); reactions to the Amy Biehl amnesty decision (S. Gish); a new form of literature/historiography in South Africa? (E. Dubourdieu); the work of J.M. Coetzee in the postapartheid era (S. Collingwood-Whitlock); attitudes to geographical renaming (E. Jenkins); Afrikaner responses to postapartheid South Africa (W. Visser); transformation of child welfare (J. Schmid); education as a tool for healing (C. Serrurier-Zucker); and transformation in higher education (C. Perrot). [ASC Leiden abstract] |
