Authenticity lost? The significance of cultural villages in the conservation of heritage in South Africa
Based on a(n) (interrupted) period of 15 years of fieldwork, this study explores the question whether cultural villages in South Africa are to be considered an effective way to conserve a particular cultural heritage in an authentic way. In order to answer this question, three notions of authenticity are juxtaposed with three types of cultural villages. The outcomes reveal a nuanced answer that suggests that some types of cultural villages do con…
Juxtaposing a cultural reading of landscape with institutional boundaries
The article explores theoretically the juxtaposition of local stories about landscape with institutional arrangements and exclusionary practices around a conservation area in South Africa. The Masebe Nature Reserve is used as a case study.

This stifles local c…

This study examines how members of three socio-demographic groupings in a rural community in the Limpopo Province of South Africa would prefer to be presented, and the article a…

The First World rationale for nature conservation is usually the aesthetic and recreational experiences and opportunities that \nnature provides and its scientific importance, but rural populations in Africa tend to focus on the utilisation of natural \nresources. This paper argues that management decisions regarding the conservation and utilisation of natural resources are \ninseparable from a people's world view and value system, because values…
