10 June | Dr Lizelle Smit and Dr Danie Stander talk about Alba Bouwer, etiquette literature, and 'charm' as prescripts for acceptable Afrikaner femininity in the 1960s. With
Sybille: Sjarmante vriendin, translated by Bouwer, as a starting point, they shine a light on the role played by translation in the sixties to establish an etiquette discourse and to cast Afrikaner femininity in a particular mould.
