- Description: Abstract: This article critically examines the conventional researcher-researched relationship that empowers the researcher over the researched. The orthodoxy of objectivity – claimed to locate the researchers as neutral observer ‒ is here argued to be a power relation that has an excluding effect where subject communities are concerned. By means of an archaeological case study that included mapping and interpretation of ancient rock engravings we offer a new way of negotiating interpretations. This new way involved four members from a Bushman community who helped us navigate spiritual, ontological and environmental dimensions in making sense of rock art.

- Description: Abstract: This article reports on a study conducted on a ‘beneficiary’ community’s participation in HIV/AIDS communication through a community radio station. The aim was to understand the community’s presence and access to dialogue on HIV/AIDS, as practiced by their community radio station. The research underpinning the article focused on a community radio station based in Platfontein, Kimberley, in South Africa. X-K FM is a community radio station and its primary target audience is !Xun and Khwe people. The station is the only formal communication channel that targets these communities in their respective mother tongues. The researchers attempted to understand civil voices’ participation in and access to the strategies of HIV/AIDS prevention, care, support and treatment. The article is underpinned by Jürgen Habermas’s theory of structural transformation of the public sphere. Research data was gathered using semi-structured interviews. The article concludes that the radio station has provided some avenues to facilitate the process of ‘beneficiary’ community participation in HIV/AIDS communication.

Ideological Contestation and Disciplinary Associations: an autoethnographic analysis

- Description: Abstract: An autoethnographic and self-reflexive theorised analysis of aspects of the South African Communication Association reveals that its internal tensions mimicked wider contradictions both during and after apartheid. The historical role played by the Association is critically examined in relation to issues of governance and naming, and with regard to its shaping of the South African scholarly community as it negotiated different paradigms, different constituencies and different historical-political- economic contexts. The analysis is embedded in a critique of neoliberalism and how this condition has impacted management procedures of the Association.

‘Seeing red’ : cultural studies, governmentality and utility

- Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/10210/214480 , uj:21286 , Citation: Tomaselli, K.G. 2016. ‘Seeing red’ : cultural studies, governmentality and utility.
- Description: Abstract: This paper critically examines “the vague and baggy monster” that much CS has become, how it has travelled, and what utilitarian forms it asumes in totally different contexts and periods. The field, once known for its activist intellectualism, has been everywhere re-articulated into and doing different kinds of work: translation, literary studies, marketing, audience, policy analysis and discourse analysis. Cultural Studies’ hybridized nature is examined in its very different manifestations in different historical contexts, national debates and objectives. One particular Chinese appropriation will be compared to early British, Australian, South American, American and South African experiences. The discourse of Cultural China in understanding a globalized market economy following the end of the Cold War is examined. The implications for global cultural studies are discussed in terms of ideological metaphors of the color ‘red’ (as in revolutions [cultural, political, guerilla] and in fashion).
