“…Dit is 'n interessante gegewe, aangesien die regisseur nie persoonlik krediet ontvang as 'n skrywer, komponis of liriekskrywer in King Kong nie; tog is dit sy visie as regisseur wat die produksie doi.10.17159/2224-7912/2020/v60n1a3 2 Verskeie skrywers het King Kong gekritiseer as 'n oefening in kulturele imperialisme. Vandenbroucke (1976) noem byvoorbeeld dat King Kong se boek en regie "were by whites" en volgens hom gee dit aanleiding tot wit "packaging of 'native' culture for white consumption". Dalamba (2012) bevraagteken die aard van "multi-racial" interaksie tussen wit en swart kunstenaars in die skep van King Kong.…”

Afrikaans en Algemene Literatuurwetenskap by Unisa. In sy MA-verhandeling, getiteld Tempo rality and the past: Recollections of Apartheid in selected South African novels in English [Tydelikheid en die verlede: Herinneringe aan apartheid in 'n keur van Engelse Suid-Afrikaanse romans] het hy ondersoek hoe narratiewe strategieë gebruik is om die ervarings van kinderprotagoniste in die romans van K. Sello Duiker, Jo-Anne Richards, Maxine Case en Mark Behr weer te gee. Andile is ook, saam met Marisa Keuris, betrokke by 'n departementele argiefprojek, getiteld Die SuidAfrikaanse Drama en Teater bewaringsprojek, wat handel oor die bewaring van tekste, teaterprogramme en verwante materiaal. Hy is tans besig met sy dok torale studie, getiteld Recovered plays: Collective memory and the construction of historical narrative of selected Sowetobased community theatre plays 19841994 [Herwonne dramas: Kollektiewe herinnering en die konstruksie van die historiese narratief van 'n keur uit Sowetogebaseerde gemeenskapsteaterdramas, 1984-1994]. Die studie ontleed die dramas van Gibson Kente, Matsemela Manaka en Maishe Maponya om sodoende 'n raamwerk te verskaf vir 'n bespreking oor kollektiewe herinneringe en die invloed daarvan op die herwinning van 'n kulturele geskiedenis vir Soweto in daardie tydperk. Andile XAbA is a lecturer in the Department of Afrikaans and Theory of Literature at Unisa. His MA dissertation is entitled Temporality and the past: Recollections of apartheid in selected South African novels in English. The study investigates the way in which narrative strategies are employed to give an account of child protagonists in the novels of K. Sello Duiker, Jo-Anne Richards, Maxine Case and Mark Behr. Andile is also involved with Marisa Keuris on a departmental archival project, entitled The South African Drama and Theatre Heritage Project, which is concerned with the preservation of scripts, theatre programmes and related materials. He is currently writing his doctoral study,entitled Recovered plays: Collective memory and the construction of historical narrative of selected Sowetobased community theatre plays, 19841994. It analyses the plays of Gibson Kente, Matsemela Manaka and Maishe Maponya to frame a discussion on collective memory and its relation to recovering the cultural history of the township.

“…The theater scholar Andrew Horn has called Ipi Tombi the “most widely performed of the [South African] Exploitation plays”—that is, plays written by white South Africans that put a sentimental, legitimizing spin on apartheid, implying that black Africans were most happy on their own homelands, immersed in their own traditions (1986:114). None of the Namasagali teachers or students I spoke to saw Ipi-Tombi through a similarly critical lens, though there was criticism of the show in the African media at the time (Vandenbroucke 1976). Namasagali’s version of Ipi-Tombi , launched in 1978, was titled Song of the Bantu .…”

Abstract:In the last years of Idi Amin’s reign, modern dance was introduced at Namasagali College, a Catholic boarding school in rural Uganda, as a means of encouraging modern, liberal self-awareness in students. Drawing on interviews with Namasagali’s former headmaster, teachers, and students, this article offers the first scholarly consideration of this important school, and contextualizes its modern dance curriculum within Africa’s historical modernity/modernization problematic. The school’s progressive educational program, with its focus on creative exploration and ownership of the body, was framed within a neocolonial regimen of discipline and punishment that aimed to drill modern behavior into students. In its clashing modes of government, this school exhibited contradictions that have perennially troubled Western liberal intervention in Africa.
