From Water to Wine: Angola’s Transformation
0R300,00From Water to Wine explores how Angola has changed since the end of its civil war in 2002. Its focus is on the middle classN defined as those with a house, a car, and an educationNand their consumption, aspirations, and hopes for their families.
It takes as its starting point Owhat is working in Angola?O
rather than Owhat is going wrong?O and makes a deliberate, political choice to give attention to beauty and happiness in everyday life in a country that has had an unusually troubled history. Each chapter focuses on one of the five senses, with the introduction and conclusion provoking reflection on proprioception (or kinesthesia) and curiosity. Various media are employedNpoetry, recipes, photos, comics, and other textual experimentsNto engage readers and their senses.
Written for a broad audience, this text is an excellent addition to the study of Africa, the lusophone world, international development, sensory ethnography, and ethnographic writing.

Gedagtes oor Geestelike Waardes: Versamelde Opstelle 6
0R375,00Die gedagtes in di bundel gaan terug op bydraes wat in die Afrikaanse koerant, Die Burger, se Saterdag-uitgawe verskyn het, in die rubriek OGeestelike waardesO onder die skuilnaam DJS. Ook hulle was deurgaans geskryf in di hoop dat ons dalk OdieperO mag lewe meer nadenkend, meer geprikkel tot groter verwondering, meer vraend, meer nuuskierig, meer waarderend, meer erkentlik oor die wonderbare gawes en die ryke verrassings van dit wat ons werklikheid en waarheid en mens-wees noem; meer bewus van wat ons aan andere doen en hoe ons woorde en dade en versuim hulle dalk raak, selfs mag wond.

Geloof en Openbare Lewe
0R480,00Het die Christelike geloof enigiets met die openbare lewe te make, het die geloof enigiets betekenisvol by te dra tot die openbare lewe ? en indien wel, hoe gebeur dit? Wat beteken ‘die openbare lewe’ eintlik? Op welke wyse indien enige kan die kerk ‘n bydrae tot die openbare lewe en die openbare mening lewer?
Op welke wyse verkondig en leef die kerk die evangelie as boodskap van ‘Heil vir die Wereld’ Die opstelle in hierdie bundel dink na oor hierdie soort vrae vanuit ‘n wye verskeidenheid van gesigshoeke. Talle van hierdie vrae is van brandende belang in ‘n tyd waarin baie gepraat word oor die sogenaamde ‘sekularisasie? en waarin baie mense wonder oor die relevansie van die kerk in ‘n tydgees soos vandag.

Gender and Sexuality in South African Music
0R220,00During the past two decades, the study of sexuality and gender in music has become a decidedly mainstream activity. To be sure, music has long been obviously and intimately involved in matters pertaining to relations, both sexual and otherwise, between and amongst the sexes. Its use in courtship is the one that perhaps first comes to mind, this use being probably as old as music itself.
This book contains all the papers presented at the conference by the same name.

Genres of Critique
0R265,00The book seeks to open and explore the liminal space of critique at the intersection of law, aesthetics and politics. The essays in this volume elaborate and expand the meaning and significance of critique through an engagement with aesthetic forms. Although this endeavour has wider significance, the focus is primarily on South Africa. The various contributions arose out of a process of reading, writing and discussion among visiting scholars at the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Study (STIAS), Stellenbosch University, South Africa, in 2010. The project responds to the limits of the transplantation of critical legal studies into different jurisdictions, especially South Africa. The essays develop an approach to critical legal thinking that is conscious of critique as a problem of genre and seek to open up this problem of genre in the context of critical legal studies.

Gesprekke oor Geestelike Waardes: Versamelde Opstelle 7
0R375,00Hierdie stukke is almal bydraes wat Saterdae in Die Burger verskyn het as OGeestelike WaardesO onder die skuilnaam DJS. Hulle handel oor die vraag na die goeie lewe. In antieke tye het di vraag egter twee vrae tegel_k ingesluit, wat eers geleidelik sou ontwikkel tot twee afsonderlike vrae. Die Ogoeie leweO kon vra na sowel ‘n gelukkige as na ‘n morele lewe. Wat is nodig om gelukkig te lewe? En wat is nodig om menslik te lewe? Hier word oor albei di vrae nagedink in stukke bedoel as OgesprekkeO in verskillende betekenisse van die woord. Allereers is hulle bedoel as uitnodigings tot gesprek. Lesers word genooi om te lees en te luister, dalk na ‘n storie, ‘n vraag, ‘n herinnering, ‘n aanhaling, dalk na ‘n klag. Dis eerder vrae met suggesties of dinge dan nie dalk s of s is nie? Of dit dan moontlik is om nders te dink? Of dit sin maak om nie saam te stem nie? Dikwels eindig hulle as oop vrae, in die hoop dat die gesprek iewers sal voortgaan.
