Authors: J van Niekerk, S van Wyk
Format: Physical Hardcopy
Teen die grein: Festschrift vir Hein Willemse is ’n bundel oorspronklike navorsingsartikels saamgestel as huldiging van professor Hein Willemse (geb. 1957). Hy is sedert 2000 verbonde aan die Departement Afrikaans aan die Universiteit van Pretoria, aanvanklik as hoof van die departement (2000-2009). As navorser, redakteur van Tydskrif vir Letterkunde (2003-2019), samesteller en uitgewer van boeke, rubriekskrywer en mediakenner het Willemse die terrein van die Afrikaanse letterkunde en die diskoers oor Afrikaans op diepgaande wyse verbreed en verryk.
Die bydraes in hierdie Festschrift wissel van artikels oor letterkunde- en kultuurstudie, die Afrikaanse letterkunde en Afrikaletterkunde tot Afrikaanse taalgeskiedenis, en die outeurs tree op verskeie wyses in gesprek met Willemse se publikasies. Die bundel bied ’n veelkantige blik op Willemse se merkwaardige lewe en werk.
Several original research articles have been collected in Against the grain: Festschrift for Hein Willemse to celebrate the career of Professor Hein Willemse (b. 1957). He has been affiliated with the Department of Afrikaans at the University of Pretoria since 2000, initially as Head of Department (2000-2009). As researcher, editor of Tydskrif vir Letterkunde: a journal for African literature (2003-2019), editor and publisher of books, columnist and media specialist Willemse has broadened and enriched the field of Afrikaans literature and the discourse on Afrikaans in far-reaching ways.
The contributions in this Festschrift range from Afrikaans and African literary and cultural studies to the history of Afrikaans, and the authors variously engage with Willemse’s publications. The collection offers a multifaceted perspective on Willemse’s remarkable life and work.
