I have discovered that the ‘death’ of the South African television character can be attributed (at least in part) to a unique set of challenges facing practitioners. My aim is to discover if the moribund television character can perhaps be resuscitated through the application of a concept called ‘the multiplicity of social self’, which finds its roots in the discipline of social psychology. This written explication and its accompanying experimental television film, Zindzi, are twin sites from which to consider the death and possible revival of contemporary South African television characters. 2015-01-03T18:22:27Z 2015-01-03T18:22:27Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11199 eng application/pdf Centre for Film and Media Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
