In this groundbreaking book, Benezet Bujo, a leading voice in African Christian theology, offers an informed critique of Western ethics and lays the theoretical groundwork for a new African ethic. By skillfully drawing on themes from African life such as marriage, therapy, and art, Bujo exposes the shortcomings of the philosophical anthropology implicit in Western ethics, comparing Western theories of natural law, discourse ethics, and communitarianism with the African emphasis on community and remembrance. He then considers whether African ethics can account for central Western values such as autonomy, freedom, and individual identity. Finally, he considers how African ethics both challenges the Church and contributes to its richness, suggesting that an African palaver ethic can integrate the best features of communitarianism and discourse ethics. This timely contribution to African theology will be of special interest to students of religion, comparative and non-Western philosophy, anthropology, and African studies, as well as those intrigued by ongoing debates about universal ethical norms.

German-language approaches to translation have been revolutionized by the theory of action (Handlungstheorie) and the related theory of translation's goal or purpose (Skopstheorie). Both these approaches are functionalist: they seek to liberate translators from servitude to the source text, seeing translation as a new communicative act that must be purposeful with respect to the translator's client and readership. As one of the leading figures in this field, Christiane Nord gives the first full survey of functionalist approaches in English. She explains the complexities of the theories and their terms, using simple language with numerous examples. The book includes an overview of how the theories developed, illustrations of the main ideas, and specific applications to translator training, literary translation, interpreting and ethics. The survey concludes with a concise review of the criticisms that have been made of the theories, together with perspectives for the future development of functionalist approaches.

Lena Bergh is 'n skilder wat hunker na die sublieme landskap. Sy verlang na 'n ander landskap as die subtropiese voorstede waar sy haar bevind. In hierdie roman word sy in haar wisselende verhoudings met 'n aantal mense om haar uitgebeeld. Op haar roete deur die welige parke en tuine van die stad word Lena vergesel deur haar vriende, die gedrewe skrywer Mara Darboven, en die eiesinnige digter Keet. Die beswerende stemme van dokter Kafka en Martjie verbind haar daagliks met die droefheid van die volk daarbuite. Die leser leer die obsessies ken van Lena se buurvrou, Molly Bloem, by wie Johnny Deventer loseer om om uit te vars. Dit is maar enkele van die figure wat Lettie Viljoen in Landskap met vroue en slang met haar kenmerkende kombinasie van deerns en humor uitbeeld. Een van die belangrikste verhoudings in die riman is die tussen Lena en haar man, Jack de Leeuw. Op gewone en indringende wyse word hierdie intieme verhouding uitgebeeld. Lettie Viljoen se nuwe roman is 'n kragtoer van poetiese intensiteit. Verskeie landskappe, karakters en verhale word gejukstaponeer en ineengevleg in 'n boeiende ontdekkingstog wat op verskeie blakke geskied: uiterlik en innerlik, die aardse en die geestelike, die intellektuele en die erotiese. In 'n vertelling waarin ironiee, humor en eksistensiele insigte, mitiese elemente en magiese oombliklikke ryklik vermeng is, raak die grense vloeibaar tussen wat moontlik en nie moontlik is nie.

God sou nooit so 'n spesie bedink nie," se Seamus Butler van sy kantelbokke, die genetiese frats wat sy vader toevallig geteel het op die Setlaar-familieplaas. Die bokke het 'n aangebore defek wat goud werd is: hulle slaan flou neer as hulle skrik. 'n Enkele kantelbok wei saam met 'n trop kleinvee en as 'n ongedierte toeslaan, word die bok prooi en die kudde ontkom. Hulle, die weemoedige bokke met die spottende geel oe, gee die Butlers rykdom en invloed in die Oos-Kaap – en dis belangrik in die tyd van die groot politieke ommekeer. Want die oopbars van 'n oliebron reg in die middel van die hawestad Port Cecil dryf die swart civic-organisasie se aandrang op 'n verenigde stadsraad op die spits. Aan die voorpunt van die swart aspirasies staan MaNdlovu Thandani, onvernietigbaar en groter as lewensgroot. Teenoor haar: Seamus Butler met sy donker; depressiewe buie wat in hom sleur soos die rivier wat in sewe deltabene deur die stad in die see uitmond. En rondom hulle, in twee werelde wat deur die geskiedenis op mekaar afgestuur word, is elkeen se familiekring wat dreig om mee te gee onder die druk van die tyd. Dis hier waar die verhaal van Die stoetmeester meesleurend deurloop, deur die lewens van mense, elkeen betrokke by, elkeen uitgelewer aan die boeiende oerwereld van die Oos-Kaap in 'n tyd waarin skoonheid en wreedheid, gewelddadigheid en hoop verstrengel raak. Die stoetmeester is, na die satiriese roman Casspirs en Campari's, veel meer verwant aan die sfeer van Toorberg, Etienne van Heerden se hoogs suksesvolle tweede roman. 'n Storie soos min, wat opstaan uit die weeige maar grootse landskap van die Kei.
