Department of Historical StudiesResearch Report 2006(Including the Centre for Popular Memory)Head of Department: Associate Professor Richard MendelsohnDepartmental ProfileResearch and research-linked scholarly work in the Department of Historical Studies concentrates mainly upon modern and contemporary history reflected through written, oral and visual sources, and is both lively and varied in focus. Fields of southern African investigation include environmental history, economic and social history, urban history, medical history, gendered history, the history of war and warfare, public history and heritage, film and history, and the history of slavery. History of Art research into visual representations of the past comprises studies in the history of African, Southern African and Western painting, graphic art and sculpture, as well as the study of art collecting and curatorship, photography, printing, and popular culture. Historical Studies at UCT is a major source of expert research scholarship on the Western Cape region and Cape Town in particular, and its established proficiency in postgraduate film and history teaching has led to the production of an annual series of Cape-based historical documentaries for wider educational use. The Department houses the Centre for Popular Memory which focuses on the development of oral history and digital archive construction through both local community links and international collaboration. Other substantive funded projects include the history of Groote Schuur Hospital, local histories of slave life and identity, and the reclamation and study of West African Arabic manuscripts. The Department also continues to manage the important Faculty resource in the visual arts, the Slide Library with around 80,000 images. The rich research culture of Historical Studies at UCT is fertilised by constantly expanding scholarly links nationally and into the African continent and beyond, and by an active complement of distinguished Honorary Research Associates.

School of Languages and Literatures Research Report 2006 Head of School: Professor Joan Hambidge School Profile The School of Languages and Literatures was formed in 2002 through the amalgamation of the Department of Southern African Languages and the Department of Modern and Classical Languages and Literatures. The School brings into one organisational unit the teaching of language and literature (excluding English Language & Literature and Hebrew) at the University of Cape Town. We recognise the complexity of our position at the southern end of Africa, in a University which strives to be fully part of Africa and the wider world. The range of languages taught in the School and the research done by staff and students of the School reflect this. The teaching and research area of the School is wide, covering language, literature and cultural studies in Afrikaans, Arabic, Dutch, French, German, ancient Greek, Italian, Latin, Portuguese, Sotho, Spanish, Swahili, Xhosa, and Zulu. There is also a strong emphasis on the role that these languages and literatures and the cultures they embody, have played and are playing in Africa. Research in the School also encompasses Literary Semantics, Literary Theory, Afrikaans Media Studies and Creative Writing, Historiography and Fiction Multimedia, Literature and the Internet, War Literature and Children’s Literature, problems in ancient historiography, literature, ruler cult, and rhetoric representations of Greece and Rome in film; French literature and rhetoric from the 17th century to the present, and the linguistics, sociolinguistics and didactics of French; German colonialism and post-colonial theory, the writings of German missionaries; contemporary German literature; Literary theory and women’s studies from the 1770s to the present; Italian and German post-war cinema; Asian cinema; the Renaissance dialogue, Italian manuscripts of the 15th century. The School’s awareness of its location in Africa is reflected in many of its research projects. Among these are studies of language learning in the African context, Xhosa linguistics; African oral traditions and orature; the influence of French on Afrikaans; French travellers’ descriptions of the Cape of Good Hope; literature and cinema in Francophone West Africa; the translation of Southern African literature into French; Sephardi women writers from the Maghreb; German colonial discourse in Africa; German missionary writings; comparative perspectives on German/Afrikaans literature. The School has a number of formal and informal links with universities elsewhere in Africa, such as the National University of the Ivory Coast at Abidjan, the University of St Denis in Réunion, and the University of Zimbabwe.
