Wat vorm betref gebryk ek aspekte vannie zuihitsu, spesifiek die free movement tussen genre en styles: veskillende dele vannie bundel is geskryf as prose, poetry en kort, losstaande gedagtes. Ek kies die skryfstyl wattie narrative van oomblik tot oomblik die beste onnersteun, en beperk nie myself tot een consistent vorm nie ––oek kenmerkend van zuihitsu.

- Description: My thesis is a collection of Lyrical and Prose Poetry. I am strongly influenced by Marina Tsvetaeva’s observation that “The condition of creation is a condition of dreaming.” As a writer I want to contribute to human knowledge by drawing from a wide literary ancestry, participating in a community of distinct voices and styles to capture and preserve the language of dreams. I fuse inherited knowledge, visions, dreams, my own experiences and what I have discovered through listening to music, reading and my own experiments in exploring poetry in dreams, thoughts and lived experiences. I am inspired by Sindiwe Magona, how she chose to express her spirituality and personal narratives into her work, and Aimé Césaire’s vision “The ground of poetic knowledge, [is] an astonishing mobilization of all human and cosmic forces.” I particularly enjoy intense forms of expression that hold substance and provoke one to elevate in knowledge and in writing. Exploring these combination of forces from these writers affords me an opportunity to write my dreams as reality. Exploring the characters, the different scenes, symbols and colours as poems flashing super/naturally yet leave one with fathomable felt, though sometimes hazy interpretations. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, School of Languages and Literatures, 2022

- Description: My thesis is a crime fiction novella. I’m moved by the idea of developing feasible, relatable characters with flaws – a staple of the crime fiction genre. I also appreciate how crime serves as a platform from which to launch into human drama, the way James Ellroy does in The Black Dahlia. While my protagonist endures trials on a near Jobian scale, the narrative meditates on the consequences of crime and conflict in a satirical way. Writers like Ross Macdonald, Raymond Chandler, Flannery O’Connor, China Miéville and Derek Raymond have inspired me with their sharp imagery and unconventional characterization techniques. These techniques accelerate the ease with which a reader can step into the shoes of any given narrator. Their writing is crisp, uncluttered and uncomplicated. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, School of Languages and Literatures, 2022

Vi ways wat mens genre en visual borders kan veskyf kyk ek ve’al na ‘Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth’ geskryf dee Grant Morrison en illustrated dee Dave McKean. Met ‘Arkham Asylum’ combine McKean painting, photos, collage en illustration. ‘Bitterkomix’ dee Anton Kannemeyer en Conrad Botes is nogge inspirasie in terme vanne meer fluid approach tot style waa die storie die art-style dictate. Ek kyk oek ve’al na ‘Fun Home’ dee Alison Bechdel, vi haa incredible ability om inne tragic, maa somehow humorous way, oo sexual repression te skryf. Oek kyk ek na ‘Dykes to Watch Out For’, dee Bechdel en ‘Wimmen’s Comix’ (Michele Brand, Diane Noomin, et al.) vi die unapologetic manier waa’op díe vrouens oorie vroue liggaam geskryf et. Die struktuur is largely influenced dee Joe Sacco se ‘Palestine’, waa’in hy die broader storie van Palestine vetel innie form van episodic short stories. Vi die sensitiewe handling van LGBTQ themes kyk ek na ‘Death: The Time of Your Life’ dee Neil Gaiman en ‘Blue is the Warmest Colour’ dee Julie Maroh.

- Description: My thesis, is geskryf in Swartlandse Kaaps, ’n streeksvariant van Kaaps. Die poems is free verses wat afspeel tien ie backdrop van Malmesbury en Stellenbosch se “Coloured areas” mette analysis van dialect en ideolect wat eie is annie mense wat ampe altyd feature innie stories wat ek vertel. Die thesis explore die liefde asse konsep. Dit kyk na hoe die desperate need vi absent liefde ’n toxic relationship feed tussen ’n jong couple ennie destructive impact van liefde oppe pesoon wie nooit geleer was hoe om lief te wies vi annes ie. Dan kyk ek oek na hoe die previous generations, dit van my ma en pa liefde reject et asse unaffordable excess inne community wat brutal en harsh is. Antonio Gramsci se konsep vannie organic intellectual, dien asse philosophical underpinning virrie thesis d.w.s die hoofkarakter dien asse orator virrie intellectual en cultural insights wattie everyman in sy community nie self kan express ie. Die organic intellectual express díe thoughts innie cultural taal van sy social class. Die thesis explore stories soes it vetel wôd dee mense soes my oupa en mense wattie altyd aware is dat hulle stories in hulle in hettie. In dai way val it tot some degree binne die terrain van oral traditions. Die thesis wil dip into die collective conscious vanne social group wat die worst aspects van liewe in Syd-Afrika experience et. Ek voel free verse is ie ideal form van expression vi my in regards tot die skryf van die thesis, omdat ek daamee die line successfully kan blur tussen ie ‘language of the people’ en my eie individual leaning toward poetic language en forms. In terms van style draw ek op vorige digbundels in Kaaps, most notably op Nathan Trantraal se baie controlled, free verse digbundel, ‘Alles het niet kom wôd,’en Ronelda S. Kamfer se technique van ‘oorvertel’, in haa digbundel ‘grond/Santekraam’. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, School of Languages and Literatures, 2021
