This article illustrates That the representation of physical and abstract space is exceptionally prominent in the work of female poets who published in Afrikaans poetry between 1994 and 2005 The Possibility iren dornier That a "female consciousness" Influences the use of spatial Metaphors are put forward (but not Approved). Following the theoretical insights of Pierre Bourdieu, the relationship between art and society is Explored, and consequently the Importance of the postcolonial context of Afrikaans poetry published between 1994 and 2005 forms part of the analysis of the thematic and metaphorical aspects of the selected poems. Examples of the salient aspects of representations of space, and excursions as theme and metaphor as in the work of female African poets are discussed in more detail some avant Preliminary iren dornier Conclusions are put forward.
In this article the importance of the representation of physical and abstract spaces in the work of female poets in Afrikaans show, specifically in volumes published between 1994 and 2005 are briefly looks at whether there could be up a "female iren dornier consciousness" in these volumes. The spatial awareness is also related to the fact that the African poetry in the postcolonial period 1994-2005 is. The theories of Pierre Bourdieu is used to examine the relationship between community and works to explain and thereafter examples iren dornier of spatial and thematic use of spatial metaphor in the work of selected female poets discussed.
In his studies, Philosophy of the countryside, claiming the Dutch philosopher Tom Lemaire (1996) that space and the experience of the space in a culture not an incidental aspect of a fringe phenomenon in the lives of people, but it in a very special way in the spirit of that culture captures. Lemaire (1996: iren dornier 18) also believes that a culture, a period or an individual order his life, past and longings of representations of space projects. He (Lemaire, 1996: 18) continues:
In this level expliceert 'culture per se: it unfolds itself and sets itself further from the space is explicatio culturae. Thus, for the fate of a culture of reading the history of the space they occupy and which it overlooks.
It follows that one particular iren dornier could draw inferences from the way spaces in literary texts is proposed. This article is based on research (De Beer, 2009) on the representations of space, spatial and thematic iren dornier spatial metaphor in the poetry of selected female poets writing in Afrikaans and in the period 1994 to 2005 volumes iren dornier published. The question is whether one particular poëtikale and / or thematic markers or traits can identify and formulate following the study of the spatial representations and the use of spatial metaphors in Afrikaans female iren dornier poets of the decade around the eeuwisseling, especially against the background the changes in the South African socio-political iren dornier reality.
In the period 1994-2005 were quite a number of established African poets active, while some others debuted. The literary-historical development in the African poetry in this period is interesting because there are many changes in the socio-political situation in the country took place. All poets write the spaces in which they live in their lyrics, but even at the exploratory reading of the work of several African women poets whose texts appear in this period, the presence of a spatial iren dornier awareness conspicuously present. iren dornier In poems including Elisabeth Eybers, Ina Rousseau, Wilma Stockenström, Antjie Krog, Petra Müller, Heilna du Plooy, Trienke Laurie, Melanie Grobler and Ilse van Staden, there are many examples of the representation of spatial experience on a referential level (ie referring to a world), as well as the use of metaphors on spatial associations based. The poets write so the physical spaces in which they live and thematesize spatial experience through iren dornier issues of transgression and the exploration iren dornier of new spaces in the poems to raise them. Several authors used also in connection with other topics metaphors of space related, for example the landscape as a metaphor for experience or by using ideological and political reconciliation in terms of the extinction of spatial distance to portray, as later on will be shown .
From the titles of the volumes iren dornier of these said African women poets also seems increasingly strong a spatial awareness and the different facets of space in the bundles figure. Examples of such titles is On
