Big Map Idea”
South African jazz historiography has tended to regard Cape Town and Johannesburg as the principal axes of musical practice within the country’s borders. This discourse tends to marginalize such practice in Durban as the most obviously “British colonial” of South Africa’s big cities. While Durban’s history has shaped its unique population, its unique demographic makeup has in turn influenced local musicking practices. This essay examines notions …

Deterritorialising the Research Space
Artistic research has in recent years concerned itself with the nature of practice and how this may be framed as research. These debates may have blinded us to a more fundamental concern: territorial claims to the research space made by other forces. Competition for access to material and human resources, funds, space, and infrastructural support, among others, drive debates about the academic status of performance within higher education. The ma…
Ecologies of home
While everyday activities that generate ideas of home, identity and place are lived out largely unnoticed by broader sociological understandings, I argue that an ecological orientation restores to our inquiries a sense of felt life and “emplacedness”, an awareness of the rough ordinary fabric of everyday life. For instance, time has reduced the abandoned house (see Figure 1) to a shell, more or less, but its numbering (20102), as a man-made sign …
Alweer “die Alibama”? Reclaiming indigenous knowledge through a Cape Jazz lens
The year 2013 marks the 150th anniversary of the song Daar kom die Alibama, inspired by the 1863 visit of CSS Alabama to Table Bay. In this paper I discuss Robbie Jansen's 2003 version of this song with reference to the original song's iconic status in South African culture, its origin as a product of indigenous knowledge and finally some of the musical elements in the song that act as signifiers of contested identities. Following the work of Geo…
The Consul at sunset
Inspired by Malcolm Lowry's novel Under the volcano, Jack Bruce and Pete Brown's 1971 song, The Consul at sunset, forms the central focus of this paper, in which I examine aspects of the historical origins of the song and how the music and lyrics may be said to represent attitudes to Mexico in the imagination of these songwriters. Using a semiotic approach drawing on Philip Tagg's analysis of Abba's Fernando, I identify some programmatic “Mexican…
