Women's Lived Landscapes of War and Liberation in Mozambique Women’s Lived Landscapes of War and Liberation in Mozambique This book tells the history of the changing gendered landscapes of northern Mozambique from the perspective of women who fought in the armed struggle for national independence, diverting from the often-told narrative of women in nationalist wars that emphasizes a linear plot of liberation. Taking a novel approach in focusing on the body, senses, and landscape, Jonna Katto, through a study of the women ex-combatants’ lived landscapes, shows how their life trajectories unfold as nonlinear spatial histories. This brings into focus the women’s shifting and multilayered negotiations for personal space and belonging. This book explores the life memories of the now aging female ex-combatants in the province of Niassa in northern Mozambique, looking at how the female ex-combatants’ experiences of living in these northern landscapes have shaped their sense of socio-spatial belonging and attachment. It builds on the premise that individual embodied memory cannot be separated from social memory; personal lives are culturally shaped. Thus, the book does not only tell the history of a small and rather unique group of women but also speaks about wider cultural histories of body-landscape relations in northern Mozambique and especially changes in those relations. Enriching our understanding of the gendered history of the liberation struggle in Mozambique and informing broader discussions on gender and nationalism, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of African history, especially the colonial and postcolonial history of Lusophone Africa, as well as gender/women’s history and peace and conflict studies.

  • A Landscape Approach to Elephant Conservation in Mozambique
    A landscape approach to elephant conservation in Mozambique by Cornélio Pedro Ntumi Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences University of Pretoria Pretoria February 2012 i © University of Pretoria A landscape approach to elephant conservation in Mozambique Student: Cornélio Pedro Ntumi Supervisor: Professor Rudi J. van Aarde Conservation Ecology Research Unit Department of Zoology & Entomology University of Pretoria Pretoria 0002 rjvaardezoology.up.ac.za Co-supervisor: Dr Sam M. Ferreira Scientific Services South African National Parks Skukuza 1350 South Africa Degree: Doctor of Philosophy (Zoology) ii Abstract People and elephants share landscapes throughout Mozambique. Here elephant conservation management focuses on protected areas but fails to address the conflict that exists between elephants and people. In this thesis I develop a landscape approach to conflict mitigation that is designed to accommodate the needs of people and of elephants in human-dominated landscapes. Mozambique faces a dilemma: politically it is required to reduce poverty while at the same time adhere to international agreements and requirements to protect biodiversity with relatively scarce financial resources. Reactive mitigation of human-elephant conflict (HEC) at the site-specific scale have proven to be costly and with low efficacy. A shift from reactive to proactive HEC mitigation approaches at the county-wide scale (e.g. a district level, the administrative planning body) may provide opportunities to reconcile such apparent contrasting requirements in Mozambique. The elephant population of Mozambique is fragmented and remnant sub-populations are limited to clusters of protected areas in a matrix of human-dominated landscapes.

O’Shea, Chair My dissertation investigates the politics of festival curation and production in artist-led theater festivals across the Portuguese-speaking (or Lusophone) world, which includes Latin America, Africa, Europe, and Asia. I focus on uses of Lusophony as a tactics to generate alternatives to globalization, and as a response to experiences of racialization and marginalization stemming from a colonial past. I also expose the contradictory relation between Lusophony, colonialism, and globalization, which constitute obstacles for transnational tactics. I select three festivals where, I propose, the legacies of the colonial past, which include the contradictions of Lusophony, become apparent throughout the curatorial and production processes: Estação da Cena Lusófona (Portugal), Mindelact – Festival Internacional de Teatro do Mindelo (Cabo Verde), and Circuito de Teatro em Português (Brazil).

  • Old Testament Teaching on Polygamy
    10 TORCH TRINITY JOURNAL 7 (2004) OLD TESTAMENT TEACHING ON POLYGAMY James P. Breckenridge* INTRODUCTION Polygamy has been an issue with which Christians have struggled since the first century.1 However, a consensus was reached on the issue after several centuries: Orthodoxy in Western Europe, or for that matter in the Christian world as a whole, has been fiercely opposed to polygamy in any shape or form since at least A.D. 600, and has shown itself particularly ruthless in suppressing the hated monster whenever it raised its head in their own ranks.2 Throughout the Middle Ages and Reformation periods, the issue was not of major importance, since European society was largely monogamous, at least in theory. However, with the dawning of the great age of foreign missions, the issue has come to prominence again. This is demonstrated by the number of articles in the bibliography of this paper which come out of an African context. While Europeans and North Americans do not face this issue much, it is an issue faced regularly in missions contexts, particularly in underdeveloped areas, “Among the subjects that need careful evangelical theological attention for guidance of Christ’s church in Africa, polygamy stands high.”3 Polygamy takes various forms.4 One form is polygyny, in which a man has more than one wife at the same time. It is also called “simultaneous polygyny.” This is the definition usually meant when the term “polygamy” is used. It is the type usually practiced in Africa. A second form is consecutive polygamy or serial monogamy, in which “one spouse after [is taken] in a sequence involving divorce and remarriage.” The third form, polyandry, is rare, and involves a woman marrying more than one husband at the same time.
