When Anton Kannemeyer and Conrad Botes founded their underground satirical comic magazine Bitterkomix in 1992, they put themselves at the forefront of the international expressionist comix movement. Their assault on mainstream Afrikaner culture has continued to be challenging, outrageous and controversial. This book is an essential chronicle, catalogue and visual cornucopia of the work of the Bitterkomix artists -- from Pub. info.
FLAME OF THE LOWVELD - UNTAMED LOWVELD SERIES (Book 1 of 8) Set in the untamed wilderness of South Africa’s Eastern Transvaal during its gold rush, Flame of the Lowveld is an electrifying saga of passion, betrayal, and unyielding courage.

Fly-fishing is a multifaceted sport that will absorb you in its reality, taking you to places of exceptional beauty, to explore and to revel in the solitude. It is so often spoken of as an art form, while fly-tying, inextricably linked to fly-fishing, is in its own right a form of artistry. South African Fishing Flies is a celebration of this artistry – the innovation, the talents of the originators and their vision of imagination, masters of the craft – and of all the fly-tyers of South Africa. It is not an exhaustive reference to all South African flies, but is rather an anthology of those that by virtue of their innovation in design, materials used and tying techniques have helped shape and, in some cases, change the thinking on fly-tying in this country. It is also a visual celebration of these flies, the waters we fish, an introduction to some of the individuals in our fly-fishing community, and creators of South African flies.
Educating Citizen Designers in South Africa is the first book of its kind to appear in post-apartheid South Africa and it is therefore both overdue and extremely welcome. The book aims at sharing critical citizenship design teaching and learning pedagogies by including contributions from a range of design educators, and one student, who work in different design disciplines, such as architecture, graphic and product design. Critical citizenship education is explicated in relation to a range of theories and new and existing models. Numerous contemporary case studies and examples of design projects from a range of South African Higher Education Institutions are included. As such, a variety of p...

Progressive Studio Pedagogy provides guidance to educators in all design fields by questioning processes and assumptions about teaching and learning, utilising examples from architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design. Through a series of case studies, this book presents innovative approaches to learning and teaching in design studio. Traditionally, design education is perceived to be a process for acquiring skills and a site for developing creative potential. However, contemporary higher education is embracing issues that include widening participation, managing transition, and fostering independent learning and graduate employability. This book situates design learning within this varied context and offers insights into how to confront the challenge of facilitating learning through divergent contexts by presenting projects and courses that use a range of approaches that require students to think and act critically and evaluatively. Progressive Studio Pedagogy presents new practices that readers can adapt into their own creative education, making it an ideal read for those interested in teaching design.

Das Deutsche wird seit etwa 1200 Jahren als Fremdsprache gelernt. Die ältesten Zeugnisse sind mittelalterliche Glossare für Reisende. Im Hochmittelalter florierte die 'direkte Methode': Man lernte Volkssprachen durch mündliche Instruktion. Wirtschaftliche Interessen und Massenvertreibungen im Zeichen von Glaubenskonflikten intensivieren im Spätmittelalter und in der frühen Neuzeit die Nachfrage nach Kenntnissen des Deutschen. Systematischer Deutschunterricht ist im 15. Jahrhundert in Norditalien nachweisbar, und auch in Mittel- und Osteuropa wird in dieser Zeit Deutsch unterrichtet. Eine große Vielfalt von Sprachbüchern, Wörterbüchern, Übungsmaterialien und schließlich auch Lerngrammatiken entsteht im 16. Jahrhundert, und im 17. Jahrhundert existiert bereits ein breites Spektrum von Kozepten und Medien für den Erwerb des Deutschen. Dieses Buch zeichnet erstmals den Gang dieser Entwicklung bis zum Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts.
