The camera was an im- portant tool to Europeans in the appropria- tion of land. In 1858, the Scottish missionary David Livingstone asked his brother Charles to photograph an expedition to the Victoria Falls (which he had “discovered” in 1855). He wanted “to extend the knowledge already attained of the geography and mineral and agricultural resources” there, in the hope that “raw material” might be “exported to England in return for British manufactures”. When those that followed came to depict the land for its own sake, they relied on a vi- sual aesthetic adopted from French art. They did not record the landscape: they “invented” it. Throughout the 19th and early 20th cen- turies, white salon photographers developed an iconography that aimed to reveal a virgin territory whose mountains, plains and tribal inhabitants illustrated the grandeur of the imperial project.

  • Violence Against LGBTI Individuals: Extrajudicial, Summary Or Arbitrary Executions
    CONCEPT NOTE High-level side event of the LGBTI Core Group 1 Violence against LGBTI individuals: Extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions Tuesday, 25 September 2018 United Nations Headquarters, New York Topic Since the creation of the LGBTI Core Group, almost ten years ago, several positive steps have been taken at the United Nations headquarters to address the human rights of persons based on their real or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex characteristics (SOGIESC). Nevertheless, the violence and discrimination faced by LGBTI persons around the world continue daily in all societies and the UN General Assembly has failed to adequately name and address these violations. Only one UN General Assembly resolution addressing violence includes explicit reference to sexual orientation and gender identity, while none refer to sex characteristics. The resolution on Extrajudicial, summary and arbitrary executions urges States to protect the life of all people and calls upon States to investigate killings based on discriminatory grounds. Sexual orientation and gender identity is mentioned as one of these discriminatory grounds. To highlight the need for more recognition in the UN context of the plight of LGBTI persons, the UN LGBTI Core Group will, once again, organize a high level event during the Ministerial week of the 73 rd General Assembly. The violence that LGBTI individuals continue to face across the world will be discussed with those who have survived, those who have made their stories public and those who can influence national and international policies. Given the upcoming negotiations in Third Committee, particular focus will be on the need to address extrajudicial, summary and arbitrary executions perpetrated on the basis of one’s actual or perceived sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or sex characteristics.

CS Westman Date: December 2019 Copyright © 2019 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved Stellenbosch University https://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT Within post-apartheid South Africa, matters around lesbo-phobic rape, or what is more commonly referred to as corrective rape, have come into sharp focus. Lesbo-phobic rape may be understood as the rape of lesbian women with the intention of ‘curing’ them of their homosexuality or making them into ‘real’ women. The progressive, yet contentious, South African Constitution expressly protects the rights of everybody to freely express their sexual identity, when it forbids discrimination on the basis of sex, gender or sexual orientation. The prevalence of lesbo-phobic rape appears to go against the developing nation’s values of inclusion and equality. However, when examining lesbo-phobic rape through a critical lens, as this study does, it becomes clear that lesbo-phobic rape is at once both an affront to the nation’s values, while also playing an integral role in shaping the nation’s identity.

  • “Corrective Rape” Among Lesbian Students at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein
    Perceptions and attitudes regarding “corrective rape” among lesbian students at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein By Nnuku E. Moleko Mini-Dissertation Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MASTER OF ARTS In Gender Studies At The University of the Free State Bloemfontein Supervisor: N. Lake 2016 DECLARATION I declare that the mini-dissertation titled Perceptions and attitudes regarding “corrective rape” among lesbian students at the University of the Free State, Bloemfontein is my own work and has not previously been submitted at this or any other university, and that all the sources that I used are fully acknowledged. MOLEKO N.E Date i ABSTRACT Post-apartheid South Africa is a country filled with conflicting ideas. While the Constitution enshrines the rights of sexual minorities, homophobic attitudes tend to reflect discriminatory behaviour within society. Homosexuality has been defined as un- African and news reports suggest that black lesbians are a particularly vulnerable minority in the country. While much research has focused on violence directed against black lesbians living in South African townships, this study focuses on the lived experiences of black lesbians in a university environment. South African Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are considered safe spaces where students can express their sexuality more freely. For this reason I have chosen to examine the realities of an under-researched community, black lesbian students at the University of the Free State (UFS). The study has relied on a qualitative research design and semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants who come from different backgrounds but all study at the UFS.

  • Highly Personal Curated by Gary Schneider
    Stephen Daiter Gallery is pleased to present… Highly Personal Curated by Gary Schneider South African Artists Hasan and Husain Essop; David Goldblatt; Pieter Hugo; Donna Kukama; Terry Kurgan; Senzeni Marasela; Nandipha Mntambo; Zanele Muholi; Cedric Nunn; Jo Ractliffe; Mikhael Subotzky and Andrew Tshabangu. ...and Their HandPrint Portraits Gary Schneider I left South Africa in 1977 at the age of 23. In 2011, I returned for my first exhibition there, and began making handprint portraits of South African artists. A Guggenheim Fellowship allowed me to continue the project through 2013. I embarked on the project and traveled widely in order to meet artists and, through them, understand what it means to be a South African artist two decades after the end of apartheid. These handprints do not reveal race, economic status, gender or age. They all follow the same format. I set up a process in which the person is responsible for the information deposited in the film emulsion — it is an assisted self-portrait. The variables are their performance and gesture, the physical shape of the hand, their body chemistry, and their relationship to me. For this exhibition at Stephen Daiter Gallery I have selected the work of thirteen artists — who are all photographers, or artists who use photography — to be exhibited along with their handprint. This is a very small group from the seventy-seven artists published in HandPrints: South African Artists, Fourthwall Books, 2015 which is itself a subset of the more than two hundred handprint portraits I made in South Africa over the three years I spent there.
