  4. Constructing “the self” Prepared by Claire Kelly “Scripting” the national identity (Ari Sitas) “…language can be inflected to brutalise or achieve it’s inverse and open up possibilities…” (Gqola, p. 210) The contradictions of the post-colonial state formation (Comaroff & Comaroff) Homogeneity as “national fantasy” Symbolic activity & mass-mediated ritual excess as “nation building” “…the salience of autochthony as naturalising allegory of collective being in the world” (Comaroff & Comaroff, p. 648)

  5. Constructing “the other” Prepared by Claire Kelly “Why this harrasment of strangers? It’s not as if they are guilty of the rape, murder, hijacking and bank robberies that south Africans perpetrate on each other?” “…stories of ethnicities code tensions…” (ibid.) “…flora signify what politics struggle to name” > “…infrastructure of of popular consciousness under construction…” (Comaroff & Comaroff, p. 645. “the right kind of migrants” (ibid.) The persisting logics of race, xenophobia or negrophobia? (ibid. & Gqola)
