Introduction Dates 20 and 21, August 2013, an international conference was held to commemorate the efforts of Shaaban Robert to promote Swahili. The conference held in Bukoba, was drafted by the Tanzania Development Forum and Poetry Tanzania (UKUTA), assisting with the National Swahili Council - BAKITA, and Swahili lovers from the Swahili Institute of Trades - TATAKI. The meeting was attended by professionals and Swahili lovers from Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda, with the aim of celebrating 50 years from Shaaban Robert's death on June 20, 1962. This was an important gathering as it combined with children of Swahili magicians, the only child Shaaban Robert, Mr. Ikibal and son of Sheikh Amri Abeid Kaluta, namely Sheikh Bakri Abedi Kaluta.At the same time, the National Language Association, Kenya - CHAKITA, organized a meeting in Nairobi to recall 50 years of Swahili in Kenya. The conference also took place from 20 to 24 August 2013. Therefore, the Newsletter to discuss negotiations on Swahili literature in Tanzania has been a good and relevant issue of Swahili awareness in Tanzania and Africa in general. The one that is now the most amongst secondary and college students. The Association of Swahili Students of East African Universities - CHAWAKES will compel pupils to develop English-speaking debate in Rwanda and Africa in general at the end of August 2013. So the newsletter really brings information and timely information to the African continent. east.
In this brief article, I will discuss general, state and literary development. I will not look at the idea that there are literature among Africans or not. The dispute has been observed somewhere since the 1970s, and has produced two important books in the debate: Ruth Finnegan's (1970) and later Isidore Okpewho (1992) literature on African literature and African literature. African literature is still getting more from the narrative, and most research should be done about what is not written and is not well-known among those who really get knowledge from the text. African literature is an old-fashioned scholarship and distinguishing between world literature.
However, this article will consider the status of Swahili literature in Tanzania in recent years. We will look at the emergence of subtitles such as poetry especially among young people, the development of rural women's songs, poems that have been transmitted radially and heard in many parts of East Africa and emerging art galleries and musical shows. In the oldest, we will look at poetry, narrative, short stories and novels that discuss various issues about Swahili life especially in these years of globalization.
The literary state The literary narrative is a form of literature whose presence largely depends on oral narratives. This literature is the oldest in the world, and it is the literary parent. All the text types were, and yet others still develop a narrator. By means of this literature, communities share experiences, interact with each other, interact and share information with creative and creativity without using text. "The art of artistic and creative" is the basic words that make these narratives a literary. Therefore, not all narratives are literary, but only what is the basis for artistic and creative creativity.
In recent years the release of this literary literature in Tanzania has had a dramatic change. These changes are the result of technological growth and use of electronic media. From the contact situation together, the audience and the commentators, now the literature has been archived through television or radio. It can be placed in the region and in the channel and video so that those who have not been present during the presentation may still hear or see the relevant narratives, sometime.
For example, this growth in technology can be seen as this: although in Tanzania television has been in existence since 1973 (Zanzibar), Tanzania mainland, television has begun in 1994, as Martin Sturmer said in his study (1998). Explaining the argument, Moore (1996) argued that the ban on Tanzania's main continent and the presence of Radio One (RTD) from the years after independence was a government strategy to build the Union, the brotherhood and the Tanzanian culture through Swahili. The RTD built and promoted this culture. In it, it built a Swahili literature and developed a standard Swahili language. In the mid-1980s, the main objectives of Tanzania's development were achieved, including a large number of literacy in Africa.
Today in Tanzania there are 8 TVs, Radio 38, and 71 of these magazines, each of which is 18. It's in these communications agencies where literary literature goes through reaching the people. On television, for example, the popular "mother and son" period that was ravaged by Radio Tanzania, has now been changed by the mother-in-law appearing with children, studio. Other children outside the studio can ask questions and share with their children singing songs or shouting. We can see the contribution of a woman to childhood development while being developed in modern ways. We can see how criticism of the literary narratives you have adapted to agree with the modern situation.
Street, musical songs in new generation music or as "bongo fleva" (See www.bongoflava.com; and Sowa, 2012) promoting not only motivation, but education and ideas and debates about politics, self-defense and disease, discussing challenges everyday life and things that are especially touching to young people. In the TV, movie and drama films, they are popular with the people on the street. Common and low-income citizens have continued to find this literature in a unique way. Their literary love has led to vendors and entrepreneurs to open theaters for displaying the films for free. These stations are not as formal. Those who do not have TV at home gather and break in rooms that have TV and see the film or comedy for a little bit.
As well as the most popular centers, poems and musical instruments are subsidiaries that are scattered throughout many Tanzanian communities via FM stations that are not close to every region. At present there are 30 regions and 146 districts. So 38 radio stations in Tanzania are a sign of the great change in this way of transmitting information. Through these radio, literary narrative, though it has changed from the old coral, still holds the same liability: to make people listen and get a multicultural message that is filled with great creativity. Still many people continue to get stories in Swahili, and sing poems through these radio.
Speech and Literature Theory In general, through these major media, Radio and TV, several things are talked about about what is happening to the community. For example, through these instruments, all Tanzania has been involved in understanding the killing of people with skin disorders, Albino, which occur mainly in Shinyanga and Mwanza regions. Songs are designed to resist this cruelty. The songs are designed to encourage people to understand what is going on and to resist the religious beliefs. Poetry in the schools heard the defense of Albino's voice in order to gain the right to live with the right to education in a peaceful environment.
Another thing that is now debated by the literature is to encourage people to tolerate and to have different religious beliefs. The existence of different religions has never been a matter of debate in Tanzania. However, recent acts of fighting, hatred and hatred have begun to emerge to develop religious issues. So, once a society has begun to express itself through literary narratives. Here are some poetry now that are loudly opposed this new relationship among the community who are basically brothers. At different meetings, when there are groups of singers, then you will not hear songs about the tolerance and love of people of different religions. These songs are not only available at FM stations, but also on TVs that have emerged to record events.
In addition to these intentions, the intent that has now been established and rooted in the community is the one that deals with the AIDS epidemic. Songs, poetry, drama and drama have begun to talk about this tragic event that occurred in the late 1980s (Taz Mutembei, 2001 and 2002). There are currently various songs about AIDS, its symptoms, its effects and especially how to avoid them are sung around each region. Thus, in recent years it seems that the literary narrative has elaborated from the former intentions such as anti-riotism and ignorance, and to refer to the affairs of these times as described. However, this does not mean that the old things have been abandoned. This is awesome! Violence is still a debate among young people especially in their newborn songs. So far from these intentions, there is a political issue particularly about the parties and the governance.
In politics, the new generation's songs are a great deal of topic. Maybe joining the parliament and becoming an elected MP, the singer of these songs has awarded bongo flava songs. Today, young people are singing and discussing the meaning and participation of many parties in Tanzania's politics. They are singing about the constitutional change and access to the New Constitution of Tanzania. The issue that is now being debated is the significance and structure of the Union of Tanzania. This mission did not get you before. It was unthinkable for citizens to talk about the union. At one point it was considered a serious mistake and a taboo. Now the literary power of the story has broken this taboo and the government has allowed the debate to exist. These are the few about literary liability in these era in Tanzania. These intentions also appear in literary literature.
Spokesman and Instituted Literature First, most people have had a print mind than it was in the past. This is also a result of the possibility of publishing the work of authors. Past printing was a matter of doubt. Development in technology, especially the use of Computer on the one hand; and business exposure as a result of free market, has led traders to engage in this area of delivery, marketing and distribution. Today there are many publishers and books.
In the magazines (which, as shown, there are more than 71 magazines) there are short stories and poems. Some short stories have a series of versions where for each edition of the magazine there is a continuation of the same story. From such a series, famous authors Eric Shigongo (www.globalpublishers.info) have emerged to encourage people to change from poverty. (See www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nV4AGsqOgo). Due to the participation of such people, young people buy magazines and read, wanting to learn how to live a life-style.
In addition to the short stories, the poems of the poetry have continued to be replaced in newspapers. Short stories discuss the long-term issues, and visa and loopholes that have existed in society for a long time. So, poetry is discussing recent events. It's just as we can watch the news about the current events (breaking news), and that's how it comes to poetry. This does not mean that poetry has stopped discussing the root demands of the community. This is awesome! These intentions are still debated by poetry. But the flames and the fire flames are described as literary and poetry more than a short story or novel.
Apart from poems and short stories, novels (or long stories) have had some compelling facts. From the design and philosophy (such as the Apostasy and the Apostles' Creed) today, there are threats to young people like the novel of their world (Said Ahmed Mohamed Khamis, 2006) where the author deals with many issues about young people in the world. Deserving of these ages.
Despite the intentions of AIDS, (Citizen Disability Novels, Flux Fraud, African Stories: for preachers and teachers, are a few examples), in novels, there is now a new commitment. In the Free Market Choice (2002) Chachage writes about the effects of engaging in free market without preparing and having fewer corrupt people who are destroying the community that has grown in social harmony. There is a debate on mining business (eg, Black Money Novel, Oscar Ulomi, 2006). This is a matter that has still threatened the Tanzanian community so far. In spite of minerals, gas and oil discovery has led to poetry in poetry especially in poetry.
In addition, the other is about illegal drug trade and its impact on the community (Taz Children's Ntilie's Children, 2002 of E. Mbogo). An analyst can see changes in the Tanzanian community for these three books: Chachage that deals with corruption, mining and drug trafficking. This is a contrast to the literature of Tanzania that embraces Socialism and emphasizes unity and harmony amongst society. In fact, the Karumuna Exhibition (2004) in the Dark Sunshine, demonstrates similar changes among religious organizations. A big change is happening now where some people have made the Church a kind of business. So there is a flood of many "revival" churches. Due to social and personal problems, many societies have a psychological and ethical need. People have lost their desire for a good life, and moral decline has overwhelmed grief among the people. Therefore, the wave of churches praying for people to find favor and good life has become great. However, as Karumuna says, many of these churches have disappointed their believers, where they have been involved in life contrary to their moral standards, or have been convicted of the illegal business pursuing "behind the altar". These things are a completely new idea in the literary literature. or have been convicted of alleged illegal business "behind the altar". These things are a completely new idea in the literary literature. or have been convicted of alleged illegal business "behind the altar". These things are a completely new idea in the literary literature.
Despite these intentions, the issue of superstitiousism has still been in the voluntary burning fire of the literary fire. For example, Gabriel Ruhumbika writes about superstition in the Novel Tragedy of the Patriarchs, 2002. And in his story published online by Lulu publishers, Ltatinibwabwa Kamala is accustomed to the Albanian Revolution (2010). It is a murder that is based on a superstitious belief in getting rich wealth.
This ambitious ambitious approach to the Catholicism is enhanced by the presence of films mainly from Nigeria (Nollywood) that are translated into Swahili and featured on television. As I said earlier, most rural people in particular look at these films that have been translated into video clips and sold. Video operators on the edge of the city and the city's lightweight villages, are particularly interesting for young people by displaying these films for a little bit.
The publication of the Challenge drama (E. Maintenance, 2010) introduces another new commitment to the rights of people with disabilities in society. This issue has a great deal of affiliation with the credibility of Albinism and the killing of albinism on the one hand and the inflammation infringement and the filming of the Nigerian film as described. These issues relate to the Tanzanian community life in demanding unnecessary wealth, which is the occult in the free trade life. The modern and modern-day history of globalization has transformed the lives of many societies to the rich without worrying about the wealth.
Tanzania's literary conclusion, as modern-day life reflects the effects of globalization. Whether you are literary or literary literature, they all look at the lives of Tanzanians as they are in the path. From a life-threatening lifestyle to live together and to love one another during socialism, there is now a selfish life. From the lives of many people to have a lack of resources, there is now a deceptive lifestyle about the potential for wealthy wealth for a short time. These issues, are not only written in literary works and narrated in poems and stories, but also featured in the film in the television. It is a life that is ridiculed through music in the radio and on television. The emergence of many spectacular groups is a way of artists to reduce the disappointment of the poor Tanzanian society. It is also a way of ridicule those who run for wealth and do not want to work.
Swahili Literature in Tanzania, and perhaps in East Africa is passing through a period of change. This issue also reflects changes in socio-economic issues and in education and politics. There has been a desire for more people to want to read. This has led to the presence of many secondary schools and colleges, even where there are no teachers or equipment and designs insufficient. Everyone wants education. This is not a bad issue, but it needs to be prepared.
Literature discusses this new awareness in education and looks at the poor preparation. It discusses the effects of unemployment and rush into the Christian faith. Faith that eliminates the rights of those with disabilities and fears into the family. This fear, which is taken by new church leaders to encourage their believers, to bring them back to life, while the leaders are enriching themselves with the money of the sacrifice and other harvest. They all understand in Swahili literature that has made a new commitment to how society goes through the period of change.
