Gender and the economy in post-apartheid South Africa
Secrets, lies and redemption
Confession is a central disciplining technology deployed in the second series of Intersexions, a popular South African TV series that seeks to change sexual and social behaviours that contribute to the risk of HIV infection. The article considers the ‘edu’ part of this edutainment programme, specifically with the nature of the lessons and with the form of ‘disciplining’ the narratives presuppose for gendered and sexual subjects. Central to this c…
Examining the relationship between the news media and the ANC
The ANC's 2010 document, intended to inform the party's position on media policy, identifies key print media challenges and criticises the news media. Journalists, in turn, have voiced concerns about attempts to curtail freedom of expression and access to information. This article examines what the press and politicians do and say in relation to each other when engaged in a contestation. Using ANC criticisms of news content, it considers the cove…
The representation of the environmental crises on Lake Victoria in Uganda’s media
This article is concerned with how the environmental crises on Lake Victoria is addressed by the media in Uganda, while confining its focus on a single radio case study, and presents a critical textual analysis of the discourses and discursive practices of the Victoria Voice environmental radio documentaries aired on Uganda’s Central Broadcasting Service (CBS) radio in 2005. The analysis focuses on two representative episodes of the Victoria Voic…
Expurgating the Monstrous
The most widely read South African tabloid, the Daily Sun, covered the “Soweto gang rape” in 2012. These acts were recorded by the perpetrators on mobile phones and “went viral” as the media continuously noted. We draw on the concept of provider love that informs relations of intimacy in certain South African spaces, central to which is its materiality and the assumption that a “real” man is able to command material resources, a prerequisite for …
Face the music!” The Daily Sun's representation of adolescent sex in the Jules High sex scandal
Rather than being merely a physiological stage, adolescence is variously constructed through social institutions. The media plays a significant role in such constructions, including that of adolescent sexuality. In the recent past there have been several cases of sexual acts involving adolescents that have received prominent media coverage as they have been considered shocking. The Jules High School sex scandal related to sex acts between a singl…
The complexities of sex, gender and childhood in present-day South Africa
Childhood – a golden time of “trailing clouds of glory” as Wordsworth's Ode to the Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood suggested some time ago and in a different space
Mediated Boyhoods
I am a man!’ The Daily Sun campaign and gender violence
The ‘Charter for a Man’ campaign was run in the Daily Sun, the widely circulated South African tabloid newspaper, from 7 November to 7 December 2007. The campaign, ostensibly designed to discourage gender violence, could potentially provide social critique and be transformative of gender inequalities. This critical investigation of the campaign coverage sets out to establish the gendered discourse and the forms of masculinities and femininities p…
Negotiating transgender identities on the internet - a South African study
The initial celebratory response that hailed the internet as some kind of utopia, both liberatory and democratic, has been tempered and gender scholars increasingly interrogate the internet in relation to gender politics. There is a scarcity of work that engages with non-normative identities, particularly transgender. Through the lens of gender theory and literature relating to the internet, the Article investigates the engagement of transgender …
Journalism education in South Africa
In this article the focus falls on journalism education in relation to an agenda of social equality and justice. Its intention is to consider journalism education in relation to this purpose, and to do this it looks both at past and present journalism education programmes in South Africa. While discussing other programmes, it maintains a particular focus on Journalism and Media Studies (JMS) at Rhodes University in the Eastern Cape, as the teachi…
Theorising news mediations of the Zuma rape trial – citizens and subjects in collision
One of the challenges to studying the media in non-‘Western’ locations is to decide on appropriate and relevant theoretical framings for such work. Moreover in African contexts there is a call for African scholarship. In this paper I propose that two very different sets of theories are relevant to theorising the media in a southern African context. First I draw on Foucauldian understandings of governmentality and subjectivities, in spite of the f…
Making visible constructions of dis/advantage through genealogical investigation – South African schooled literacies
Towards the close of the twentieth century in South Africa, powerful discourses were disrupted and political, economic and cultural transformation hailed. Yet, attitudes, subjectivities and patterns of behaviour are not simply automatically erased. In this paper I assume the relevance of Foucauldian insights for conducting socio-cultural critique and I argue the significance of genealogical work in relation to understanding the present. Thus, I s…
