AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie navorsingsprojek het ten doel gehad om die identiteitsvirming van kindrs wat binne intergeloofsgesinne in Kaapstad grootgemaak is, te odersoek. Intergeloof, in hierdie verband, word erken en gebruik om verhoudings tussen individue te beskryf wat uit families van uiteenlopende godsdienstige agtergronde kom. My fokus in Kaapstad is op genmende Christen-Moslem gesinne. Data is ingesamel deur middel van deelnemerwaarneming onderhoude en veldnotas van die Campbell-familie. Daarbenewens het ek ses bykomende in-diepte onderhoude met ander deelnemers gevoer. Deelnemers se reaksies, waarnemings en veldnotas het goed met die bestaande literaturr gekorreleer, terwyl dit terselfdertyd nuwe data geproduseer het om ondersoek te word. Deur die omvang van identiteitsverkenning uit te brei om veelvuldige aspekte van identitet in te sluit wat deur praktyke, oortuigings, waardes en godsdiensonderrig beheer word, tesame met ‘n teoretiese toepassing met betrekking tot Identiteitsteorie, Sosiale Indentiteitsteorie en Onsekerheididentiteitsteorie, argumenteer ek dat kinders wat in intergeloofsgesinne grootgemaak is, ondergaan ‘n dubbele godsdienstige ervaring wat n hibriede identiteit vestig eerde as veelvuldige of dubbele identiteits soos voorheen gekonseptualiseer binne voormalige litere werke. Deur die sosiale praktyke, sosiale gewoontes, voedselverbruike en materiele verbruik van deelnemers te verken, kon ek ‘n breer begrip van identitetsvorming, betwisting en transformasie in die konteks van ‘n dubbel-godsdienstige agtergrond ontwikkel. Dit het my uiteindelik toegelaat om ‘n reeks potensiele konflikte binne gesinne oor identiteitsvorming, vertoon en persepsie deur voedselverbruik en dieetwet sowel as estetiese vorming en materiele verbruik te ontbloot. Verder, maak die kompleksiteite verbonde aan grootword en grootword binne ‘n intergeloofsgesin ‘n gevoel van verplasing moontlik as gevolg van idees van selfasku, reinheid en vroomheid as gevold van hul beliggaamde hibriditeit wat in deelnemer spraakpatrone en linguistiese keuses bewys word. Hierdie verplasing het ‘n ‘anders’ deur selfstigma verleen. Vroomheid en ‘n vaste identitietsgevoel is een manier waarop selfafsku en verplasing binne gesinne opgelos word. Deur ‘n verkenning van voedselpratyke, estetiese vorming, verplasing en vroomheid demonstreer die bevinge identiteitsvorming, betwisting en transformasie vanuit ‘n nuwe perspektief. ENGLISH ABSTRACT: In May 2022, a ‘white’ first-year student urinated on the belongings of a ‘black’ first-year student at the Huis Marias residence at Stellenbosch University (SU) this sparked outrage among the members of the university community and the larger South African society about the status of transformation at SU. This revived debate about racism at the University, initiated through the 2015 Open Stellenbosch student movement, led to the establishment of the Khampepe Commission of Inquiry. This study, conducted in 2020, engaged with first-year students living in single-sex and mixed-sex residences to explore how they made sense of belonging. I conducted seven semi-structured online interviews with first-year students coming from diverse backgrounds to explore how they experience, construct, navigate, and perform identity and belonging. Through using thematic analysis three major themes are derived from the data. The first theme was the ‘Gendered experiences’ of first-year students within university residences, and how these can create a sense of belonging if one identifies with it and a sense of exclusion if one deviates from it. The second theme was ‘living diversity’ and belonging at SU. This speaks to the various factors such as gender, race, sexuality, language, and other social identifications that impact one’s sense of belonging and how one uses one’s agency to navigate belonging within the space. The last theme was ‘Safety and safe spaces’, which draws out the many meanings of safety, such as physical safety from, as well as ‘safe spaces’ to engage with critical questions related to gender, race, and sexuality. Taking an intersectional and social constructivist approach to understanding race, gender, and sexuality, I argue that these identities are influenced by overarching historical discourses that permeate the residences and in turn generate context-specific racialised and gendered experiences.
