Hanneke Stuit delves into Ubuntu's relevance both in South Africa
and in Western contexts, analyzing the political and ethical
ramifications of the term's uses in different media including
literature, cartoons, journalistic fiction, commercials,
commodities, photography, and political manifestos in contemporary
South African culture.
This open access book considers the concept of the hinterland as a
crucial tool for understanding the global and planetary present as
a time defined by the lasting legacies of colonialism, increasing
labor precarity under late capitalist regimes, and looming climate
disasters. Traditionally seen to serve a (colonial) port or market
town, the hinterland here becomes a lens to attend to the times and
spaces shaped and experienced across the received categories of the
urban, rural, wilderness or nature. In straddling these
categories, the concept of the hinterland foregrounds the human and
more-than-human lively processes and forms of care that go on even
in sites defined by capitalist extraction and political
abandonment. Bringing together scholars from the humanities and
social sciences, the book rethinks hinterland materialities,
affectivities, and ecologies across places and cultural
imaginations, Global North and South, urban and rural, and land and
water.
