“…86 By presenting law students with predominantly Eurocentric and male texts in literature courses, transformative efforts of tertiary institutions lack significant or meaningful change. 87 Mere inclusion of literature in legal education is limited in transformative potential as studying only one experience can be used to enforce dominant perspectives as superior and solely worthy of recognition. 88 By including more diverse and even Afrocentric voices such as African and female writers in the English syllabus, law students are presented with more varied and more relatable texts in an African context that promotes understanding and sensitive consideration of previously marginalised voices and undervalued perspectives portrayed in literature.…”

“…33 This interplay also includes the engagement of and interaction with these forces by students on a tertiary level in order to drive socio-political change in legal education and legal culture. 34 Central to healing and growth is a psychological transformation. Steve Biko explained the notion of a black inferiority complex as the persisting result of systemic and psychological oppression in the pre-1994 era that demeans and belittles the experiences and voices of African people to an inferior status than those of European people.…”

The English literature that is being taught to law students plays a role in shaping critical and ethically conscious lawyers, as well as in contributing to a transformative approach to legal education in post1994 South Africa by engaging with different perspectives. Value lies in engaging specifically with previously devalued perspectives in a substantive way.5 While limited progress has been made to include diverse and previously undervalued perspectives, a more inclusive English syllabus will produce more ethically conscious and humanistic law students and lawyers.6 Incorporating more literature of marginalised groups into the law syllabus in a non-hierarchical way will challenge and perhaps begin to dismantle the pre-democratic dominance of structural and psychological oppression, systems of patriarchy, and the black inferiority complex.

“…Researcher bias pertains to the credibility of a study and concerns addressing one's own feelings about the subject as well as being careful not to make the subject comply with a particular theory. This was addressed by the authors being in continued reflective discussion with one another (regarding thoughts and feelings about Piëch) while collecting, analysing, and reporting on the data (Ngwenya and Manganyi, 2003;Yin, 2018).…”

Ferdinand Karl Piëch: A Psychobiography of a Ruthless Manager and Ingenious Engineer

The dark sides of personalities have gained importance during the past two decades. Psychobiography deals with the life of extraordinary individuals throughout the life span by applying selected theories to analyse specific life aspects. This study uses Theodore Millon’s (1990, 2011) personality theory to explore the life of Ferdinand Karl Piëch (1937–2019), an Austrian engineer and business executive who was the chairman of the executive board of the Volkswagen Group (1993–2002) and the chairman of the supervisory board from 2002 to 2015. Piëch was also known for having a complex and controversial personality. This study aims to explore the life and work of Ferdinand Karl Piëch through the lens of Millon’s personality theory. This study has four specific aims. Firstly, to provide an accurate and objective description of Piëch’s life history. Secondly, to formulate an accurate description of Piëch’s personality on the basis of existing biographical data. Thirdly, to interpret Piëch’s personality through the use of Millon’s theoretical framework and identify the personality prototypes that correspond with his personality characteristics. Fourthly, to contribute to expanding the field of “dark personality aspects” from a psychobiographical perspective, especially the personalities of extraordinary individuals. The findings suggest that although Piëch demonstrated the characteristics of three personality prototypes, the assertive-sadistic prototype is the best fit for his personality characteristics. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations for theory and practice are given.
