“…Met kritiese witweesstudies as teoretiese raamwerk binne die postkoloniale ekokritiek en spesifiek Willoughby-Herard (2007; se werk oor Afrikanernasionalisme, kan die uitbeelding van die Afrikanergemeenskap in Moerbeibos en sy verbintenis met die Knysnabos geanaliseer word. Deur gebruik te maak van Van Coller (2003; se analise van die plaasromantradisie in Suid-Afrika, veral wat betref die verbintenis tussen arm wit Afrikaners en die Afrikalandskap, kon ek Matthee se uitbeelding van die verbintenis tussen mens en niemenslike en haar gebruik van temas analiseer. Hoewel Moerbeibos sterk ooreenkomste het met die uitbeelding van die Afrikalandskap en gebruik maak van temas in die plaasromans van die 1930's, verhoed die klem op Silas se selfmisleiding, en die uitbeelding van die Italianers as postkoloniale Ander, dat Moerbeibos Afrikanernasionalistiese narratiewe ondersteun en bevorder.…”

“…In hierdie artikel word Dalene Matthee se tweede laaste bosroman, Moerbeibos (1987), vanuit Willoughby-Herard (2007 se werk in kritiese witweesstudies geanaliseer. Deur te steun op Van Coller (2003; Buiten hierdie vergelyking in gehalte van Matthee se bosboeke, word die romans ook beskou as "goeie gewilde prosa" (Jooste & Senekal, 2016:770). Volgens John (2010:36) kan die vooropgestelde idee dat gewilde prosa van minder literêre waarde is, veroorsaak dat sodanige romans nie akademies bestudeer word nie.…”

Rabie voltooi in 2020 haar Meestersverhandeling, "'n Mensboom in olifantskoene: 'n postkoloniale ekokritiese analise van Dalene Matthee se Moerbeibos (1987) en Toorbos (2003)", aan die Departement Afrikaans by die Universiteit van Pretoria waar sy ook deeltyds Afrikaanse letterkunde doseer. In haar MAverhandeling analiseer sy die uitbeelding van die mens-niemenslike-verhouding in Matthee se laaste twee bosromans. Haar navorsingsbelangstellings lê hoofsaaklik by die oorvleueling van witheidstudies en die ekokritiek. Sy is tans besig met navorsing vir 'n doktorsgraad met die oog op 'n vergelykende studie tussen Nederlandse en Afrikaanse letterkunde. Sy is ook deel van Samespraak (2021), 'n nagraadse studiegroep vir Afri kaans en Nederlands. * Die navorsing in hierdie artikel is gebaseer op my MA verhandeling "'n Mensboom in Olifantskoene: 'n postkoloniale ekokritiese analise van Moerbeibos (1987) en Toorbos (2003) deur Dalene Matthee (2020)", 'n studie wat befonds is deur die Suid-Afrikaanse Akademie vir Wetenskap en Kuns en die Universiteit van Pretoria.

“…The themes of inheritance and land ownership place both of these novels in conversation with two of South Africa's major literary genres, namely, that of the pastoral 'farm novel' (plaasroman, in Afrikaans) and indigenous orality. As others (Coetzee 1996(Coetzee , 2000Prinsloo & Visagie 2009;Smit 2005;Smit-Marais & Wenzel 2006;Van Coller 2003 have shown, the South African farm novel is a genre in which land rights and culturally inscribed meanings of ownership are always either reinforced or contested and problematised. In fact, Mishra and Hodge (2005:375) even trace the etymology of 'colonial' to its root in the Latin words for farmer and its associations with the inhabitation and cultivation of land.…”

National trauma work and the depiction of women in two Afrikaans historical Karoo novels: <i>Fiela’s child</i> and <i>Sorg</i>

Fiela’s child and Sorg are two female-authored popular Afrikaans novels that entertain as subtext dynamics of female agency in the same region and historical period, namely the Little Karoo of the late 19th century. The two novels present a pertinent counter-discursive paradigm to the more mainstream master narrative representations of women of the time. The novels were written and published during the late-apartheid and early post-apartheid years, 1985 and 2006, respectively, and as a result of these dynamics of production, they also engage with the socio-politics of this time, maybe even more so than with the British imperial colonialist period in which the novels are set. As such, both novels step into the discursive streams that flow in and around the trauma work that is associated with South Africa’s contemporary engagement with its colonial and apartheid legacies and heritage. Both texts also contribute to the creation and popularisation of new national master narratives. It is then in this context that these texts can be seen as participating in the multivocal discursive project of new identity construction, specifically identity construction through the writing of a new heterogeneous national autobiography.

Literary evolution is a process that occurs in every literary system. Due to the fact that literary systems do not merely exist, but come into being, it follows that they organise and protect themselves; changes therefore do not readily occur. Literary evolution cannot be described in neopositivistic terms and neither can possible changes be accurately predicted. The whole process of literary change is affected by intersystemic aspects as well as "extraneous factors" like historical events. It is customary to describe literary evolution as the succession of "streams", "movements" or "periods". A period can be described as a "regulative idea", a system of norms and conventions. In this study the above-mentioned terms are discussed and their interconnectedness explained. Shifts in the Afrikaans literary system of the past decades are subsequently described and possible explanations offered. OpsommingLiterêre evolusie is 'n proses wat in elke literatuursisteem plaasvind. Omdat literêre sisteme nie maar net bestaan nie, maar tot stand kom, is dit ook so dat hul sigself organiseer en beskerm, en derhalwe nie geredelik verander nie. Literêre evolusie kan daarom nie bloot in neo-positivistiese terme verklaar of voorspel word nie en intersistemiese aspekte speel 'n ewe groot rol in literere evolusie as sogenaamde buitefaktore soos historiese gebeure. Dit is verder gebruiklik om literêre evolusie te beskryf as die opeenvolging van "strome", "bewegings" of "periodes". Laasgenoemde is duidelik markeerbare norme-of konvensiesisteme. In hierdie studie word bovermelde terme eerstens bespreek en logies verbind. Vervolgens word verskuiwings in die Afrikaanse literatuursisteem van die afgelope dekades beskryf, en verklarings vir hierdie prosesse word aan die hand gedoen.
