摘要

有一种不公平的观点认为,非洲语言的作家是艺术家,他们主要关注文学流派的各个方面,如主题、情节、人物塑造、冲突、背景、时间、语言和风格。从主题的角度来看,马西夫哈(1974)的戏剧《马巴兰干耶》经常被认为是一部描绘契文的戏剧ḓ去年的一个高峰社区,当时非洲王室领导权是他们自己的法律。一些人认为这是一个神话故事,马蒂夫哈在其中阐述并重建了一些失败的非洲历史。本文的目的是通过批判性语言意识、传播理论的社会建构主义者和民族志来展示马蒂夫哈如何运用戏剧元素来突出维哈文人身份创造和社会关系的社会文化和政治生活ḓ南非的一个民族。Mathivha使用头衔、姓氏和赞美诗等形容词作为指称表达和称呼,展示他们如何构建身份,在王室领导层和臣民之间建立社会关系,以说明参与性的国家建设努力。通过这些表达,Mathivha进一步说明了非洲土著知识是如何再生的,作为一种社会文化和政治资源来生活和体验的。

Royal identities and social relations in MER Mathivha’s drama Mabalanganye: a critical language awareness perspective of knowledge regeneration
There is an unfair view that writers in African languages are artists who mostly focus on aspects of literary genres such as theme, plot, characterisation, conflict, setting, time, language and style. From a thematic point of view, Mathivha’s (1974) drama Mabalanganye is often regarded as one that depicts the Tshivenḓa-speaking community of yesteryear, when African royal leadership were a law unto themselves. Some see it as a mythical story in which Mathivha illustrates and reconstructs some failed African history. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate through critical language awareness, and the social constructionist and ethnography of communication theories how Mathivha employs elements of drama to highlight the sociocultural and political life of identity creation and social relations among the Vhavenḓa people of South Africa. Mathivha uses epithets such as titles, clan names and praise poetry as both referential expressions and address names to demonstrate how they construct identities that establish social relations between royal leadership and their subjects, in order to illustrate participatory nationbuilding endeavours. Through these expressions, Mathivha further illustrates how African indigenous knowledge is regenerated to be lived and experienced as a sociocultural and political resource.
