Essay aus dem Jahr 2020 im Fachbereich Afrikawissenschaften - Kultur und Landeskunde, Note: 1.3, Universität Leipzig (Anglistik), Veranstaltung: Literaturwissenschaft: South Africa Today: Diversity in Literature and Culture, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: This essay focusses on the cultural significance of sport in South Africa. Xenophobia is a prevailing issue for South Africa’s society. The enrooted cultural legacy of apartheid gave, among others, way to this fact. Additionally, the regime legitimized the domination of whiteness. In fact, these aspects were mirrored in and transferred through the public institution of sport.Arguably, sport can be perceived as one of the most significant supporters of the regime, but also as a public communicator for hope, change and crucial partaker to overthrow this politic. Nowadays, sport vouches for South Africa’s reformed identity, the democratic Rainbow Nation. These developments are perceivable through the ongoing change of the characteristics of sport throughout the era of apartheid, to its end, and to contemporary events.

Seminar paper from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Culture and Applied Geography, grade: 1,3, University of Leipzig (Anglistik), course: Kulturstudien: The Centres and Margins of English Culture , language: English, abstract: References to, and adaptions of classic elements into medieval works and, subsequently society were declared contrary to the Christian doctrine and thus sanctioned and restricted. Considered as "e;absurd and obscene mythology and practices"e; (Steel), the prestigious status of the classical world declined. However, this declaration of the Christian institution could not hinder the medieval scholar's and society's fascination for the inspiring aspects of antiquity. In fact, the unearthly Christian doctrine lacked explanations about the world enjoyment and factual reason. Therefore, to fill these gaps, the medieval philosopher escaped into paganism. However, in order to utilize the pagan references, the authorities of the academic medieval world were encouraged to seek answers for the question of their legitimization. As a result, an ambiguous and blurry variety of justifications and functions was established that is still in need for clarification. Geoffrey Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales provides a prototypical categorization of how medieval scholars and writers justified references to the classics and for what purpose they were used. These are distinguishable by perceiving the text in a pagan context, a Christian context, and a universal context.

Master's Thesis from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,7, University of Leipzig (Anglistik), language: English, abstract: Lyric theory polarises the narratological complexities of the text on the one hand and the epideictic echo into the empirical reality on the other. Through this divergence, the transformative urge expressed in the poems is circumvented. The description of the transformative function of poetry, which consists of the fusion of enounced and enunciation, demands and enables the convergence of the epideictic quality of the lyric and the narratological mechanisation of poetry. The crucial link for the convergence of lyric theoretical discourses is the framework of cognitive schemata. This cognitive approach identifies the text, language, and world knowledge by scrutinising the schemata and frames of a poem. The approach transforms the strands of lyric theory to focus on the modulating capacity of a poem by engaging the reader's cognitive process and thus articulating the transformative function of the text for that reader. Catalysing the narratological and epideictic theories of the lyric with the cognitive - literary - studies approach enables a framework that distinguishes a fragmentary and heuristic construction, classifies the modulation kinds of accretion, tuning or restructuring and therewith articulates the transformative function of early 21st century crisis poetry. The paper begins with section 2. Lyric Theory, which links the theories of poetry to the cognitive approach and creates a corpus of early 21st poetry that illustrates the suitability of this analysis. Subsequently, the cognitive method is discussed in more detail in section 3. Transformative Function Methodology. The main section 4. Schema and Frame analysis of Contemporary Crisis Poetry focuses on the application of the theory to model examples and presents the results of the cognitive method for the corpus of early 21st century crisis poetry. Finally, section 5. Conclusion provides a summary and discusses limitations and prospects.
