Creating a collaborative autoethnography to navigate our global South/North assembled scholarly subjectivities
This article is a collaborative autoethnography of a global South/North partnership between two academics over a period of ten years. We utilise the notion of assembled subjectivity to interrogate our scholarly becomings through experiences of South/North partnerships. Through Arts-Based Research, we create an autoethnographic narrative with the aim of reflecting on power dynamics and tensions we have experienced in various South/North collaborat…
Co-developing best bets for participatory disaster risk management in a postcolonial harmscape
The conditions that characterize marginal and informal settlements in the Global South make the environmental hazards resulting from the current Climate Crisis more dangerous, giving rise to multifaceted risks that can be characterized as Anthropocene harmscapes. As such settlements are home to a large and growing population, this is an increasingly widespread problem that, if not addressed, could result in deaths, unrest and increasing numbers o…
Place-pedagogies of water stress
This article explores the pedagogical affect of water in a place of water stress and illustrates its entanglement with dynamics of power and control. The current climate crisis is rendering already drought-prone regions ever drier, and it is often the already socially and economically disadvantaged who experience the most immediate impacts. In this article, we describe the experiences of residents in one township in South Africa’s Cape Flats to e…
Policy engagement as ‘empowered representation’
Drawing on the theoretical framework of 'political mediation', the policy engagement process is characterised as a positive instance of democratic mediation through 'empowered representation', with some specified limitations
Understanding resilience capitals, agency and habitus in household experiences of water scarcity, floods and fire in marginalized settlements in the Cape Flats, South Africa
A significant percentage of the urban population in most low- and middle-income countries live in informal settlements. Due to poor quality housing, dense settlement patterns and lack of risk reducing infrastructure, informal settlements are least prepared and at higher risk for climate change issues. Marginalized communities in settlements in the Cape Flats region of South Africa face a range of environmental hazards and risks including recurren…
Living the life of floods
This article explores how place-based learning and the development of landscape literacies unfold in a place suffused with a complex set of risks resulting from inter-operating and intersecting sociohistorical, political and environmental factors. By analysing assemblages of images and accompanying texts produced through a photovoice process undertaken by co-researchers in an informal settlement in South Africa’s Cape Flats, we show that resident…
Transformative Pedagogy as Academic Performance
In this performative text, we explore the events that unfolded around the #ShimlaPark incident on February 22, 2016, on the Bloemfontein campus of the University of the Free State (UFS), South Africa. The text consists of four voices; that of a student, an educator, theory, and the official report commissioned by the UFS after the #ShimlaPark incident. These voices are conceptualized as an assemblage of experience. We employ arts-based research a…
