This dissertation is a study of the discourse of the Graham's Town Journal in the years 1831 to 1836. An example of early Cape journalism, the Journal was established in the eastern Cape by L.H. Meurant, and owned and operated soon thereafter by R. Godlonton. The Journal was a means to represent and order a changing colonial world for an emerging middle-class merchant elite during the period of the emergence of colonial order in the eastern Cape. Through investigation of the major themes of the newspaper's discourse in this early period of its history, the dissertation highlights the imaginary sense of community and corresponding body of colonial knowledge that evolved on a weekly basis in its pages, and by which its readers projected their dreams and aspirations as to how the eastern Cape should be colonized. 2016-05-24T09:14:44Z 2016-05-24T09:14:44Z 1997 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/19816 eng application/pdf Department of Historical Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
