Insights into a Beneficial but Labour Intensive Post-Doctoral Publishing Project
Post-doctoral research fellowships (PDRF) in South Africa often require the fellow to produce a particular number of publications each year. Many of the PDRFs, however, find publishing a challenge. In response to this, a project was established to support, encourage and enable PDRFs based in South African universities to publish in this special issue of Critical Arts. During the course of the project, contacts were made and events attended which …
The Origins Centre
The Origins Centre in South Africa provides the visitor with an enjoyable, modern, stylish and educational experience. Given its name, the visitor could be forgiven for thinking that the museum is dedicated to the origins of humankind. While some of the exhibits directly pertain to this origins theme the majority focus on Bushman traditions and/or rock art, with a smaller number being dedicated to the traditions and/or rock art of the Khoe and Ba…
Locating Spaces for San Mother-Tongue Education in the South African Education Framework
Twenty five years after the advent of democracy in South Africa, indigenous language education for San communities in South Africa is a goal that still needs to be realised. There have been various attempts, though none of these have resulted in sustained programmes or projects. In particular, attempts to implement the recommendations of a report on Khoe and San language education in schools submitted to the Northern Cape Education Department (NC…
The limitations of research codes and contracts
Research among hunter-gatherers has often been exploitative, based on neo-colonial and/or contemporary socio-economic power imbalances. Consequently, research codes and contracts have been created with the important goal of empowering them; such instruments seem to be on the rise globally. In this article, we focus on this phenomenon among the San of Southern Africa, and we contribute to the professional and public debate on such formalising inst…
Language and Education
Photovoice is a participatory research tool that facilitates the hearing of marginalised communities to instigate social change. Many Bushmen are concerned about the maintenance of their language and culture, while their educational needs are not being met. As these individuals often profess to feel unheard, photovoice workshops aim to bring such voices out into the open, with the resulting visual images often providing more powerful and emotiona…
The Literacy of Tracking
The study examines tracking as literacy, analysed through conventions of storytelling, involving participant observation in the field and through a discussion of cyber-tracking. The conclusion is that the social experience in the post-hunting era is re-created for teaching, memory and nostalgia purposes on the one hand, and is commoditized for tourists on the other
Afrikaans on the Frontier
The influence of Khoekhoe languages on Afrikaans on the Cape Frontier of the Nineteenth Century is considered as the cradle of Afrikaans. Two varieties of Afrikaans were used on the Frontier, the Afrikaans of cattle farmers and the Afrikaans of the Khoekhoen. Frederick Jackson Turner's theory, developed in relation to the American Frontier, is applied to the Cape Frontier. Turner argued that the American Frontier was not only a physical space, bu…
Crossing the divide
In order that development strategies alleviate poverty and empower communities, strategies must be initiated and supported by a broad spectrum of representatives from the intended beneficiary community. Communities are rarely homogenous, however, meaning that development researchers/practitioners often have to negotiate and interact with opposing community factions with differing development interests. By associating with one faction, the researc…
Live Aid/8
In 1984, the Band Aid charity single was produced, followed by the Live Aid concert in 1985, to raise awareness and funds to alleviate poverty in Ethiopia and its surrounds. In 2005, Live 8 was organised to address the continued issue of poverty. Although this movement emanated from benevolent intentions, through the choice of the Band Aid song-lyrics, the images displayed, and the comments and decisions made regarding the concert events, the mov…

Protocol for the Addition-Plus study
The ADDITION-Plus trial will establish the medium-term effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of adding an externally facilitated intervention tailored to support change in multiple behaviours among intensively-treated individuals with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes in primary care. Results will inform policy recommendations concerning the management of patients early in the course of diabetes. Findings will also improve understanding of the fa…
