  • Manchester As a Birth Place of Modern Agency Research: the Manchester School Explained from the Perspective of Evans-Pritchard’S’ Book the Nuer1
    Manchester as a birth place of modern agency research: The Manchester School explained from the perspective of Evans-Pritchard’s’ book The Nuer1 Wim van Binsbergen ASC Leiden / EUR Rotterdam © 2006 Wim van Binsbergen INTRODUCTION At least two definitional modalities may be discerned in the approach to agency. The relationship between agency and structure may be conceived as one of neutral but necessary complementarity: structure can only exist to the extent to which its is brought to life in concrete acts by concrete actors. However, according to another, much more attractive definition of agency, agency is not so much the coming to life of social structure through actors’ concrete social behaviour, but the freedom that actors take, in their interaction, to manoeuvre between the stipulations set by structure, and then agency becomes not so much the enactment, but the denial, the compensation, the improvisation beyond structure. In the present paper, emphasis will be on the second approach. My contribution to the study of agency, with the present argument, will mainly be in the field of the history of ideas, more specifically the development of social science theory and method in the twentieth century, with special emphasis on Africanist anthropological 1 This paper is the substantially revised translation of a chapter from Wim van Binsbergen: Van Vorstenhof tot mediaprodukt: Een culturele antropologie van Afrika, vooral Zambia, (1995/2006).

  • Against Trauma: Silence, Victimhood, and (Photo-)Voice in Northern Namibia
    116 Acta Academica • 2015 47(1): 116-137 © UV/UFS • ISSN 0587-2405 <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaAcademica> Against trauma: silence, victimhood, and (photo-)voice in northern Namibia Heike Becker Prof. H Becker, Dept of Anthropology & Sociology, University of the Western Cape, Private Bag X17, Bellville 7535; Email: [email protected] First submission: 20 October 2014 Acceptance: 25 February 2015 The article shows how the discourses of trauma, victimhood and silence regarding local agency contributed to the production of the nationalist master narrative in postcolonial Namibia. However, I point out repositories of memory beyond the narratives of victimhood and trauma, which began to add different layers to the political economy of silence and remembrance in the mid-2000s. Through revisiting visual forms of remembrance in northern Namibia an argument is developed, which challenges the dichotomy between silence and confession. It raises critical questions about the prominent place that the trauma trope has attained in memory studies, with reference to work by international memory studies scholars such as Paul Antze and Michael Lambek (1996) and South African researchers of memory politics, particularly the strategies of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC). The fresh Namibian material supports the key critique of the TRC, which suggests that the foregrounding of pain and victimhood, and rituals of therapy and healing entailed a loss of the political framings of the testimonial moments. Heike Becker / Against trauma: silence, victimhood, and (photo-)voice in 117 northern Namibia ifteen years ago, Richard Werbner (1998a: 1) declared a “postcolonial memory crisis, emerging widely across the African continent”.

  • Msindo on Werbner, 'Reasonable Radicals and Citizenship in Botswana: the Public Anthropology of Kalanga Elites'
    H-SAfrica Msindo on Werbner, 'Reasonable Radicals and Citizenship in Botswana: The Public Anthropology of Kalanga Elites' Review published on Friday, April 1, 2005 Richard Werbner. Reasonable Radicals and Citizenship in Botswana: The Public Anthropology of Kalanga Elites. Bloomington: Indiana University Press, 2004. 280 pp. $60.00 (cloth), ISBN 978-0-253-34402-1. Reviewed by Enocent Msindo (Wolfson College, University of Cambridge) Published on H-SAfrica (April, 2005) Is There Hope Against Afro-pessimism? In Reasonable Radicals, Richard Werbner attempts the complicated task of challenging particular representations of Africa. There is a growing body of literature that has painted mainly the negative side of Africa: the political violence; tyranny; misgovernance, the looting, by those in power, of state resources and so on. Out of this research developed such concepts as the "failed state," "vampire state," "kleptocracies" (greed governments), etc. Werbner believes that this perspective, termed Afro- pessimism, has been blind to "African concerns for the public good" and the popular quest for accountability and good governance (p. 1). Consequently, the author advocates the need to rewrite the current Africanist agenda. The challenge, he believes, lies in a new critical public anthropology which, with the increasing democratization of some African states, would "illuminate the unexpected ? transformations that are taking place in postcolonial Africa" (p. 2). Nevertheless, this new agenda is neither the relentless glorification of Africa (evident in earlier Africanist paradigms of the 1960s) nor the excessive attacks on Africa from either the "criminalization of the state" hypothesis or the "politics of the belly" scholarship that has overshadowed postcolonial social and political theory.

  • Pentecostalism, Cultural Memory and the State: Contested Représentations of Time in Postcolonial Malawi Rijk Van Dijk
    CHAPTER 6 -"-*• Pentecostalism, Cultural Memory and the State: Contested Représentations of Time in Postcolonial Malawi Rijk van Dijk The current state of theory on culture, social memory and postcolonial subjectivity présents a simple challenge. It calls for analysis disentangled from earlier grand social théories which are deeply nostalgie in themselves. Nostalgia was built into the very foundations of social théories at a time when Western nation-states were in search of grand styles of patriotism and national narratives of heroic pasts (Turner 1994; Robertson 1990, 1992). Leading motifs in grand théories, such as the Gemeinschaft-Gesellschafi antithesis, gave primacy to that which was - and which, implicitly, the present lacks. In research on religion in sub-Saharan Africa, a similar nostalgie paradigm has long dominated the study of new religious move- ments and so-called independent churches. In particular, the modern urban religious movements arising in Southern Africa during the post-World War II period have commonly been analysed as 'old wine in new wine- skins' (Sundkler 1961) — as urban déviations from rural, older and, therefore, more 'audiëntie' religious patterns. Furthermore, the religious groups in the cities have been represented as if they re-created villages in symbolic and discursive form for the sake of 'nesting m the urban social networks' (Brodeur 1984), or reinstating a Community that could deal with urban conditions and hardships (for a vety récent example, see Devisch 1996). For such approaches, thé urban is estranging and dis- ruptive, and thus, in essence, 'inauthentic' in African social formations and cosmologies. This nostalgie view of modem urban religious movements — thé urban religious Community as a célébration of the yearning for thé 'village' whence thé urban migrant once came - needs to be rethought in thé light of thé postcolonial cultural order (van Dijk i992a, b).
