Ari Sitas (born 1952 in Limassol, Cyprus) is a South African sociologist, writer, dramatist and civic activist.〔 〕 == Background == Sitas studied sociology and political philosophy at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg and was one of the founder members of the celebrated Junction Avenue Theatre Company.〔 In 1978 he received the Olive Schreiner Award for his play ''Randlords and Rotgut'', and in 1981 won an award for his video ''Howl at the Moon''.〔 He completed his PhD on the emergence of a social movement of trade union workers on the East Rand under the supervision of Eddie Webster and David Webster (who was assassinated by the Apartheid regime). After a number of years of part-time jobs and creative and political activism he was employed in 1982 by the University of Natal, Durban. Since then, Durban, despite his travels, has remained his spiritual and material home.〔 〕 Based at the Industrial Organizational and Labour Studies (IOLS) department, he became a pivotal intellectual in the anti-apartheid struggle and worked actively with trade unions and community organisations.〔 〕 He was key to the explosion of cultural movements and organisations in the late Apartheid period and was one of the most important leaders in negotiations leading to a transitional cultural dispensation, and has been recognised as both one of the most defining poets of his own generation and a creative though quite unorthodox sociologist.〔 In May 2009 he joined the University of Cape Town as a Professor in the Department of Sociology. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ari Sitas」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
