TALATALA-SERIES:

Over the past number of decades the production of Afrikaans monographs slowed considerably. Institutional emphasis on the production of journal articles and the small potential market meant that main stream Afrikaans publishers were often reluctant to publish Afrikaans literary and linguistic monographs. In recent times Afrikaans literary and language researchers seldom had opportunities to publish book length publications. In 2004, response to this paucity of Afrikaans literary critical and linguistic texts, the Department of Afrikaans at the University of Pretoria initiated the Talatala Series. The series title “Talatala” refers to the scientific name “Nectarinia talatala” for the White-bellied Sunbird endemic to the dry savannah habitats of southern Africa.

TYDSKRIF VIR LETTERKUNDE

 

 

Tydskrif vir Letterkunde is the oldest existing literary journal on the African continent. The journal has been published under this name since 1951 and is a direct continuation of Die Jaarboek van die Afrikaanse boek (Yearbook of Afrikaans books) that was started by the well-known Afrikaans poets C. M. van den Heever (1902–1957) and T. J. Haarhoff (1892–1971) in 1936. Previous editors include figures like Coenie Rudolph and Professors Abel Coetzee, Elize Botha and Henning Pieterse. Since 2003 the journal is based in the Department of Afrikaans of the University of Pretoria with Prof Hein Willemse as editor-in-chief. Tydskrif vir Letterkunde positions itself as “a journal for African literature” and in addition to Afrikaans, peer-reviewed academic articles are also published in English, French and Dutch. Articles in the journal are included in the foremost international indexes.
