Abstract

This article focuses of 13 high school boys’ experiences of getting into “trouble” in a former Colouredi township high school in KwaZulu-Natal Province. This ethnographic study explored the reasons for boys being considered “troublesome”ii at school. Data collection included focus groups, semi-structured open-ended individual interviews and non-participant observation. Using the social constructionist perspective of masculinity as an analytical lens, the findings show that these boys’ schooling experiences are fraught with anti-schooling, anti-academic and anti-authoritarian attitudes and behaviours. They construct themselves as dominant, unafraid and unwilling to conform to school rules, which brings them into conflict with authorities. While some of the group expressed determination to ameliorate their lives, others dropped out of school prematurely. Teacher attitudes are central to either perpetuating “trouble” or being sensitive to these boys’ schooling woes.

3. Garbage In, Garbage Out? : Exploring textile sculpture through refuse material

Author

Presttun, Karina Nøkleby and Presttun, Karina Nøkleby

Abstract

This paper examines the processes, materials, and influences of Karina Presttun, an artist who explores building abstract sculptures with twine made from second-hand fabrics. She discusses how her work aims to share emotions and visual experiences that do not translate well into text and how she has been inspired by fiber artists, basket makers, and music. She also reflects on the spiritual importance of craftsmanship, the risk of the academization of art, and using discarded materials to bring attention to the environmental impact of textile production., 4 images removed: Image 7.

These new schools were often contrary to the existing ones., La historia de las academias se escribe a través de los enfrentamientos que se producían entre los llamados Académicos y las distintas corrientes de pensamiento que conformaron las nuevas academias, que solían ser contrarias a las ya existentes.
