The archetypal fable : an inquiry into the function of traditional symbolism in the poetry of Edwin Muir
- Authors: Gillmer, J E
- Date: 1970
- Subjects: Muir, Edwin, 1887-1959 -- Criticism and interpretation

- Description: Edwin Muir's poetic vision is bound up with that belief in a twofold structure of reality that in European culture has been called Platonist but which is so ancient and widespread that no one can determine its origins. Though no longer fashionable in a time when materialist philosophies flourish and even Christian clerics are busy "de-mythologizing" their faith, it has been the potent source of our greatest poetry and perhaps, as Kathleen Raine believes, of all true poetry. Those who hold this conviction regard the sensible world as the reflection of an "intelligible" or spiritual world which gives meaning and purpose to life, and they see the objects of nature as images that evoke the ideal forms of a divine reality. For poets, as for traditional men, this belief is less a metaphysic than an intuitive way of apprehending and ordering experience, a "learning of the imagination" inherited from ancient and mysterious sources. To Muir it came directly and spontaneously in the symbolic images of dreams, and the fact that he entitled the first version of his autobiography The Story and the Fable testifies to the importance, both for his life and his poetry, of his belief in two corresponding orders of experience. Intro., p. 1-2.

- Description: The area covered in this survey of the Cape Midlands is roughly that portion of the Eastern Cape Province which looks to Port Elizabeth as its principal industrial and market centre where the density of the population is the closest. It lies generally within the geographical region described by Professor J.V.L. Rennie as the Eastern Province Midlands Area. "The Midlands area appears to include all that part of the Eastern Province lying west of the Great Fish and Tark rivers and at least as far inland as the Great Escarpment. The term (Cape Midlands) is commonly applied to local organisations in the larger inland centres of Graaff-Reinet and Port Elizabeth interests. Intro. p.1-2

The classification and phylogeny of the Psocoptera

- Language: English
- Type: Thesis , Doctoral , PhD
- Identifier: vital:5884 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1013232
- Description: This work provides a phylogenetic classification of the insect order PSOCOPTERA. Some of the problems involved, mainly arising from lack of adequate published data, are pointed out and work carried out to overcome them is indicated in a short introductory chapter (Chapter I). This consisted of accummulating data on the genera from published texts and illustrations, adding data from the study of fresh material or material held in collections and compiling generic definitions in adequate detail where possible. Chapter II gives a general description of the Psocoptera together with brief background information on their biology. As considerable changes are proposed in the classification of the order (in Chapter VII) the classification in use at present is set out for comparison to generic level and a brief history of systematic work on the order is given {Chapter III). The data necessary for a discussion of the phylogeny is presented in the series of definitions of genera and suprageneric groups in Chapter IV. Data on fossil forms is given in Chapter V. The principles of phylogenetic study are briefly discussed in Chapter VI and the important question of the relatively primitive or advanced condition of characters in the order is discussed. The monophyly of the order and the relationships between genera are established using Hennig's system and the results are set out in discussion and dendrogram. On the basis of the relationships so established a classification of the order is proposed which is considered to be practical and to reflect evolutionary history of the group. (Chapter. VII.) Comments on the distribution of the Psocoptera are made in Chapter VIII and it is suggested that, despite inadequacy of data, a consideration of the distributions supports the proposed classification in general terms. A general discussion follows and references and figures are included. An appendix provides a practical up-to-date key to the genera of the order.

The nature and measurement of labour turnover

- Language: English
- Type: Thesis , Doctoral , PhD

- Description: From the Introduction, p. 1-2. The main purposes of this study are to examine the methods by which one particular aspect of industrial behaviour, namely that of the worker's final withdrawal from the work situation, can be measured; to offer a more refined technique for the measurement of such withdrawals, and thirdly to attempt to relate this measurable phenomenon of withdrawal, commonly known as Labour Turnover, to the less easily measurable phenomenon of the integration of the individual worker into his working group. Labour Turnover - or the loss, over time, of employees from an employing organisation - is normally regarded as a province of study appropriate to the field of Industrial Psychology, and to its related applied field of Personnel Management. To a large extent, however, (as will be illustrated in Chapter II of this work) the results of such studies have proved inconclusive, and contradictory, and there is little evidence of progress towards a comprehensive understanding of the subject. This is undoubtedly due to the fragmentary nature of most studies in this field. These have generally been limited to the narrow confines of one particular aspect of the phenomenon, and consequently it has not been viewed against a sufficiently broad background.

- Description: From conclusion: This study has had a twofold objective, to present ethnographic data on a people who belong to the Xhosa tribal cluster and more specifically, to throw light on aspects of the ancestor cult among the Xhosa. In particular an attempt has been made to explore the nature of the interrelation between the social structure and the ancestor cult. Attention has been focussed on the lineage as an institution, on the rituals devoted to the ancestors and on the means of explaining misfortune. Though the Ndlambe, in common with other groups of indigenous people in the Eastern Cape, have been experiencing developments brought about by social change during the better part of two centuries, the recent implementation of the Betterment Scheme has resulted in drastic demographic changes. The former settlement pattern of scattered homesteads has given way before village formation. Beyond the fact that it has resulted in the closer proximity of homesteads, with the opportunities for cooperation and conflict that this situation implies, nothing is known of the direct organizational influence of this development.

The construction of a swept-frequency polarimeter for observing decametric radiation from Jupiter

- Description: This thesis describes the design and construction of a swept-frequency polarimeter for observing Jupiter’s decametric radiation in the frequency range from 15 to 45 MHz. The frequency band is tuned in two parts using two receivers for observing the left- and right-circular components of the radiation in the 15 to 26 MHz range and two receivers for observing the circular components in the 30 to 45 MHz range. The receivers are tuned electronically by means of varactor diodes and are of novel design in that they do not have any intermediate-frequency stages. The frequency band can be swept 10 times per second or 100 times per second. The antennas used for the polarimeter are helical beam antennas, two for each of the circular components in the 15 to 26 MHz range and two for the 30 to 45 MHz range. Model studies of the antennas were conducted to establish whether they have suitable characteristics for observing the polarisation of Jupiter’s decametric radiation over a wide frequency range. Many spectral records of Jupiter’s decametric radiation were obtained using a preliminary version of the swept-frequency receiver and a log-periodic dipole antenna. Some of the records are presented and one record which shows an interesting case of Faraday rotation is analysed. , Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, Physics, 1970
