  • Proxemics, Covid-19, and the Ethics of Care in South Africa

    Open AccessLevine, L MandersonARTICLECultural Anthropology2021Citada por: 16Referencias: 5

    In South Africa, lockdown and its excesses have opened up questions on the limits of an ethics of care, whose ethics are privileged, how care is delivered, and what care means. We show how an ethics of proxemics and its operationalization as distance highlight everyday inequalities and limit the provision of care. Constraints on physical distancing in line with public health measures intended to limit the spread of the coronavirus echo the contro…

  • Opening the wound

    Open AccessLevineARTICLEJournal of African Cinemas2020

    This reading of Inxeba (2017) foregrounds the relationship between the #RhodesMustFall and #FeesMustFall movements in South Africa with the theme of wounding as an enduring social affliction in a country caught up in the midst of redefining itself after apartheid. Overtly narrated in the telling of Inxeba (2017) is the striking, amplified distinction between tradition and modernity among isiXhosa. Indeed, the polarized reception of the film among…

  • Toxic layering through three disciplinary lenses

    This article focuses on the devastating hidden perils of agricultural pesticides repurposed by informal sellers in urban South African townships to kill rats and other unwanted pests.

Such pesticides are used to safeguard homes from pests in an attempt to protect children from th…

  • Blood, Sweat, and Fear

    Levine, Susan LevineARTICLEJournal of American History2018

    In this provocative volume, Jeremy Milloy, a postdoctoral fellow at the Frost Centre for Canadian and Indigenous Studies at Trent University, suggests that labor historians (and, by extension, historians generally) should consider violence as a central category of analysis. By looking at violence, he argues, historians can better understand social relations and workplace cultures. He sees violence simultaneously as a material reality, which is ex…

    This article considers the socioeconomic changes that have impacted on the lives of poor children since the end of apartheid in South Africa.

L'étude porte sur plus de 150 récits parl…

    Interpretive frameworks in visual media studies suggest that audiences are active agents in the construction of meaning. As a discipline that emphasizes the value of an interpretive approach, visual anthropology has much to offer by way of informing media advocacy programmes geared towards HIV/Aids education. This paper grapples with the conundrum presented by the agency of audiences to interpret documentary film within the context of the politic…

  • Invisible Hands

    Levine, Susan LevineARTICLEAfrican Affairs2007Citada por: 1

    Agency is a concept that scholars use to redress the historical undermining of the role that oppressed peoples play in the making of history. This concept is evoked so convincingly in Invisible Hands: Child Labor and the State in Colonial Zimbabwe that one would very much like to re-think other historical accounts of child labour. In 1890, when the British South Africa Company entered what was to become Southern Rhodesia, colonialists found that …
