摘要

本文讨论了科萨男性启蒙实践在道德价值观教学中的作用,以及阿玛干卡塔(传统守护者)在实践中的作用。科萨人的男性启蒙被视为一种成人仪式,因为它在男孩成长为成年男子的过程中,在建立道德生活方面具有历史性的作用。从文献和研究结果来看,阿摩干卡塔在提升者的教学中扮演着重要的角色。在教导道德价值和入会仪式的方法上的转变,导致许多入会者死亡,也造成了amakrwala(新人)的行为不端。作者建议,应该重新定义启蒙活动,以便在建立科萨社会的道德纤维方面发挥积极作用,正如过去所打算的那样。作为解决这个问题的一部分,作者提出了一种非正式的课程,以赋予阿摩干加达以权力,而阿摩干加达将反过来教导同修。这门课程的主题包括艾滋病毒和艾滋病、犯罪、虐待妇女以及做一个负责任的男人意味着什么。

Xhosa male initiation and teaching of moral values: an exploration of the role of traditional guardians in teaching the initiates
This article discusses the role of Xhosa male initiation practice in the teaching of moral values and the part played by the amakhankatha (traditional guardians) in the practice. Xhosa male initiation is regarded as a rite of passage since it has a historic role in building up the moral lives of boys as they graduate to manhood. Amakhankatha are identified both from literature and the research findings as major role players in the teaching of the initiates. A shift in the approach to teaching moral values and in the practice of initiation has resulted in the death of many initiates as well as the misbehaviour of the amakrwala (new men). The author suggests that initiation practices should be redefined in order to play a positive role in building the moral fibre of Xhosa society, as it was intended in the past. As part of the solution to the problem the author suggests an informal curriculum in order to empower the amakhankatha, who will in turn teach the initiates. This curriculum comprises topics such as HIV and AIDS, crime, women abuse and what it means to be a responsible man.
