High expectations were set for the “democratisation”, “transformation” or “renewal” of the Afrikaans literary tradition in a changing South African and global society. Afrikaans literature had to be repositioned and reimagined. A survey of the Afrikaans poetry debuts and follow-up publications that were published up until the second decade in the third millennium indicates signs of a new generation of Afrikaans poets that are positioning themselves in and towards the Afrikaans literary tradition in new ways. This survey shows a marked presence of specifically young black/coloured Afrikaans poets – significant given the historic context of the institutional exclusion of black/coloured Afrikaans authors from the Afrikaans literary canon. Although this increase in publications by black/coloured Afrikaans poets since the turn of the millennium is an indication of a changing literary system, the positioning of young black/coloured Afrikaans poets in the literary-critical discourse – on the one hand by themselves in their work and in interviews, and on the other hand by literary critics in reviews and other reception texts – indicates tensions in the dynamic between these poets and the Afrikaans literary institution. As a possible barometer of the image of the Afrikaans literature, this qualitative study investigated this dynamic by means of four Afrikaans debut voices that could not pass by the gatekeepers of the Afrikaans literature prior to 2008, namely Ronelda Kamfer (Noudat slapende honde, 2008), Nathan Trantraal (Chokers en survivors, 2013), Lynthia Julius (Uit die kroes, 2020) and Ryan Pedro (Pienk ceramic-hondjies, 2020). In total, 73 texts (consisting of written reviews, written and recorded interviews, and other texts relating to the reception of the four poets’ debuts) that appeared in the period 2008 to 2021 were analysed using ATLAS.ti, a computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software, and discourse analysis in order to gain insight into the trends in the positioning of the four poets by themselves and by literary critics. The primary goal was to describe the image of the Afrikaans literature that exists from this positioning and dynamic in the literary-critical discourse. For the purposes of this study, Gerard Genette’s concept of metatextuality was used to suggest the relationship that exists between various reception texts in the literary-critical discourse. Systems theory (specifically Even-Zohar’s polysystem theory), theories relating to the author’s image and posture, as well as Lefevere’s concept of rewriting were also used as theoretical departure for the study. Based on the analyses of the four case studies, it was concluded that Kamfer, Trantaal, Julius and Pedro make valuable contributions to the renewal of the Afrikaans literary repertoire, especially relating to the presentation of innovative poet models. However, it was concluded that although there is renewal in terms of the material and symbolic production of marginalised voices in the Afrikaans literature, some reception practices, such as the use of certain metaphors, are signs that the literary system has not yet transformed sufficiently. Finally, suggestions are offered for further studies that might supplement the current one. AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die derde millennium het die begin van ’n nuwe tydvak vir die Afrikaanse letterkunde ingehuldig. Hoë verwagtinge is in hierdie tydperk in literêre kringe gestel vir die “demokratisering”, “transformasie” of “vernuwing” van die Afrikaanse literêre tradisie in ’n veranderende Suid-Afrikaanse en globale samelewing. Die Afrikaanse letterkunde moes herposisioneer en herverbeel word. ’n Bestekopname van die Afrikaanse poësiedebute en -opvolgbundels wat tot en met die tweede dekade in die derde millennium verskyn, toon tekens van ’n nuwe generasie Afrikaanse digters wat hulleself op vernuwende wyses in en teenoor die Afrikaanse literêre tradisie posisioneer. Opvallend uit hierdie bestekopname is die teenwoordigheid van spesifiek jong swart/bruin Afrikaanse digters – veral beskou in die historiese konteks van die institusionele uitsluiting van swart/bruin Afrikaanse skrywers uit die Afrikaanse literêre kanon. Alhoewel die toename in publikasies deur swart/bruin Afrikaanse digters sedert die millenniumwisseling ’n aanduiding van ’n veranderende literêre sisteem is, dui die posisionering van jong swart/bruin Afrikaanse digters in die literêr-kritiese diskoers – enersyds deur hulleself in hulle werk en in onderhoude, en andersyds deur literêre kritici in resensies en ander resepsietekste – op ’n spanningsvolle dinamiek tussen dié digters en die Afrikaanse literêre institusie. As moontlike barometer van die beeld van die Afrikaanse letterkunde ondersoek hierdie kwalitatiewe studie dié dinamiek aan die hand van vier Afrikaanse debuutdigterstemme wat voor 2008 nie deur die hekwagters van die Afrikaanse letterkunde kon dring nie, naamlik Ronelda Kamfer (Noudatslapende honde, 2008), Nathan Trantraal (Chokers en survivors, 2013), Lynthia Julius (Uit die kroes, 2020) en Ryan Pedro (Pienk ceramic-hondjies, 2020). Altesaam 73 resepsietekste (bestaande uit geskrewe resensies, geskrewe en opgeneemde onderhoude, en ander tekste relevant tot die resepsie van die vier digters se debute) wat in die tydperk 2008 tot 2021 verskyn het, is met behulp van ATLAS.ti, die rekenaargesteunde kwalitatiewe dataontledingsagteware, en diskoersontleding ontleed ten einde insig te verkry in die tendense in die posisionering van die vier digters deur hulleself en deur literêre kritici. Die primêre doel was om die beeld van die Afrikaanse letterkunde wat vanuit hierdie posisionering en dinamika in die literêr-kritiese diskoers ontstaan, te beskryf. Vir die doeleindes van hierdie studie is Gerard Genette se konsep van metatekstualiteit benut om die verhouding tussen verskeie resepsietekste in die literêr-kritiese diskoers voor te stel. Sisteemteorie (spesifiek Even-Zohar se polisisteemteorie), asook beeldvorming- en postuurteorieë en Lefevere se konsep van herskrywing is ook in die studie as teoretiese vertrekpunte benut. Na aanleiding van die ontleding van die vier gevallestudies is bevind dat Kamfer, Trantaal, Julius en Pedro waardevolle bydraes tot die vernuwing van die Afrikaanse literêre repertorium lewer, veral wat betref die aanbied van vernuwende digtersmodelle. Daar is egter tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat, alhoewel daar sedert 2008 vernuwing met betrekking tot die materiële en simboliese produksie van gemarginaliseerde stemme in die Afrikaanse letterkunde is, sekere resepsiepraktyke, soos die gebruik van bepaalde metafore, steeds dui op ’n literêre sisteem wat nog nie genoegsaam getransformeer het nie. Die studie sluit af met voorstelle vir verdere studies wat die huidige kan aanvul.
