Cloth as a membrane of the imagination in the artwork of Mary Sibande
This paper brings future-orientated theories of becoming to bear on the work of artist Mary Sibande. Contemporary social theory is increasingly interested in how human life and matter join in vital forms of assemblage. In relation to Sibande’s work in particular, I explore her sculptures and images in terms of the interplay between body, skin, cloth and the world. I suggest that these interminglings enable forms of transfer between inner longings…

Exit/Exist
The paper explores life-giving qualities of creativity and self-stylisation in the performance art and dance of contemporary South African choreographer Gregory Maqoma. Placing his performance Exit/Exist in conversation with social theories of becoming, desire and futurity explored in the work of anthropologists Elizabeth Povinelli and Henrietta Moore, and the philosopher Elizabeth Grosz, the paper gestures towards a vitalist understanding of soc…
Aids, metaphor and ritual
Based on a two-year study of 31 young people aged 14-20 who had lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS, in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, the article draws on an in-depth ethnographic account of a 17-year-old girl's life process. It traces forms of care between adults and children within her family across several generations, exploring how social repertoires and forms of ritual pre-dating the HIV/AIDS epidemic are brought to bear on relationshi…
Reconceptualizing Children's Rights in International Development
Building on recent human rights scholarship, childhood studies and child rights programming, this conceptual framework on children's rights proposes three key-notions: living rights, or the lived experiences in which rights take shape; social justice, or the shared normative beliefs that make rights appear legitimate for those who struggle to get them recognised; and translations, or the complex flux between different beliefs and perspectives on …
Aids, Intimacy and Care in Rural KwaZulu-Natal
The illegal sale of medication from a public health facility Beginning a journey with antiretroviral therapies Conclusion * Note that ingculaza, the Zulu word for AIDS, is also sometimes spelt with an 'i' as the last letter of the word.(See, for example, Roman Khumalo's poem in Chapter Two.) ** In isiZulu, gciwane is the word used to translate the English word, germ.It is also the term used for the human immunodeficiency virus.Its everyday meanin…
South African Aids Orphans
The article examines assumptions circulating in development or interventionist discourse concerning the vulnerabilities of AIDS orphans in South Africa. Ongoing ethnographic research, begun in March 2003, with 31 rural children and youth between the ages of 14 and 22, in Magangangozi, KwaZulu-Natal, points to the ways in which global terms may fail to describe local particularities. Too narrow a focus on the vulnerabilities of AIDS orphans obscur…
A Gift without Shortcomings
The paper will examine the idea of citizenship from the point of view of two healers, an inyanga and isangoma, one of whom is HIV positive, who live in the remote Okhahlamba region of South Africa. It will therefore provide a view of citizenship from below. The ways in which both healers explore their relationship with the world beyond Okhahlamba illustrates their personal wanderings beyond local environments and the ambivalence with which the wi…
Mortality and the ethics of qualitative research in a context of HIV/Aids
Utilising the story of one man suffering' from HIV/AIDS, the article explores ethical relationship between researchers and an interlocutor over a two-year period in Okhahlamba, the Drakensberg—a remote region populated by Zulu-speakers. Drawing on the philosophical work of Emmanuel Levinas, and Alphonso Lingis, the paper argues for the importance of pre-empting too quick an understanding of illness and suffering, for allowing space for the ill to…
The vertiginous body and social metamorphosis in a context of HIV/Aids
Ethnographic research for this paper was undertaken in the Okhahlamba District in the Drakensberg of South Africa and formed part of an on-going five-year project focussing on people's everyday experience of living with HIV/AIDS in rural communities. The paper explores metamorphoses of the body in relation to HIV/AIDS, showing how the experience of bodily disintegration is expressed, but also how the falling away of the body is linked to social f…
