Revisited and Revalorised
The Middle Stone Age (MSA) of southern Africa is mainly known from rock shelters and caves. How early modern humans interacted with their landscapes remains comparatively understudied. The site of Jojosi 1, situated north of Nquthu in north central KwaZulu-Natal, is set within erosional badlands known locally as ‘dongas’. This locality offers a rare opportunity to study MSA technology and settlement dynamics in an open-air context. G. Botha initi…
Decoding hunter-gatherer-knowledge and selective choice of lithic raw materials during the Middle and Later Stone Age in Eswatini
The Jojosi Dongas
Hunter-gatherer groups conduct most of their activities in open landscapes as they provide drinking water, food, and raw materials, and offer spaces for social gatherings. The remains left behind at such sites allow for unique archaeological insights into the spatial patterning of prehistoric behaviour. The Stone Age record in southern Africa remains best-known from sheltered sites. A paucity of stratified open-air localities precludes understand…
Anthropologie de la phénoménologie, phénoménologie de l'anthropologie
Notre travail dont cet article est un bilan partiel entend explorer les débats historiques et actuels, réels ou virtuels, entre l'anthropologie philosophique (Scheler, Plessner, Gehlen) et les phénoménologies husserliennes et post-husserliennes au XXe siècle en France et en Allemagne et au-delà. L'un de nos fils conducteurs pour traverser cet héritage théorique complexe est l'hypothèse de Blumenberg qui dans la Description de l'homme situe le ger…

Geomorphology of the upper Mkhomazi River basin, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, with emphasis on late Pleistocene colluvial deposits
We present a 1:50 000 scale geomorphological map of the upper Mkhomazi River basin, located in the foothills of the Drakensberg mountains in KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. The sub-horizontal strata of the Permo-Triassic Beaufort Group forms plateau interfluves with a concave valley slope morphology. Locally, thick sequences of late Pleistocene colluvial deposits and associated buried paleosols (Masotcheni Formation) infill first-order trib…
Das harte Geschlecht
This article suggests that the deconstruction of Heidegger’s reading of Hölderlin in the Letter on Humanism is a precondition for what Derrida attempts to do in his commentary of Heidegger’s reading of Trakl in Geschlecht III. This preliminary deconstruction, through a constellation of Hölderlinian motifs (“homeland”, “return home”, “Occident”, “Greece”, “Germany”), controls the topology of Geschlecht III and determines Derrida’s approach to the …
Detailed quantification of glacier elevation and mass changes in South Georgia
Most glaciers in South America and on the Antarctic Peninsula are retreating and thinning. They are considered strong contributors to global sea level rise. However, there is a lack of glacier mass balance studies in other areas of the Southern Hemisphere, such as the surrounding Antarctic Islands. Here, we present a detailed quantification of the 21st century glacier elevation and mass changes for the entire South Georgia Island using bi-static …

Geomorphological processes, forms and features in the surroundings of the Melka Kunture Palaeolithic site, Ethiopia
The landscape of the surroundings of the Melka Kunture prehistoric site, Upper Awash Basin, Ethiopia, were studied intensively in the last decades. Nonetheless, the area was mainly characterized under a stratigraphic/geological and archaeological point of view. However, a detailed geomorphological map is still lacking. Hence, in this study, we identify, map and visualize geomorphological forms and processes. The morphology of the forms, as well a…

Le sujet sans subjectivité. Après le « tournant théologique » de la phénoménologie française
En marge de la controverse, suscitée dans les années 1990 par l’hypothèse d’un « tournant théologique » de la phénoménologie française, nous interrogeons sous un autre angle ce « tournant », en nous concentrant sur la doctrine du sujet comme « adonné » chez J.-L. Marion, qui se déploie entre Husserl et Heidegger, dans une perspective « postmétaphysique » susceptible de décrire les phénomènes de l’« autrement qu’être ». Si le « tournant théologiqu…
