Making sense of the politics of sanitation in Cape Town
The paper examines the history and politics of sanitation and urban belonging and citizenship in Cape Town. It traces the cultural histories of waste and odour in order to reveal the embedding of liberal citizenship, as well as technology, in the body. We do this to make sense of why and how toilets and waste have become recent objects and instruments of struggle in Cape Town, and elsewhere. The paper shows that these political struggles did not …

Miscast: The place of the museum in negotiating the Bushman past and present
THERE ARE TWO museums in South Africa competing for representation and commentary on `who are the Bushmen?'. The South African Museum and the South African National Gallery, situated across from each other in Cape Town's Company Gardens, combine efforts to concretise a debate regarding how the indigenous categories, `Bushman' and `Khoisan' (1), can be publicly represented. The two museums draw together different and changing historical relationsh…
