His life is a vivid illustration that the impact of material conditions and experiences were not homogenous, and of the role of subjectivity. As will be seen, he remained hostile to the state and white employers, though most other whites
where none may have existed, thus interpreting autobiography as a form of self-conscious individualism that puts subjectivity centre-stage. Bjorklund would later argue that autobiographies were therefore a good source for investigating ideas about the ‘self’, to find out about people’s mental

This chapter will argue that, when thinking through land related questions in South Africa, it becomes increasingly obvious that

That is, one can indeed use the narratives to recapture the subjectivity of people who would otherwise fall out of the historical record. Biography demonstrates how small

To demonstrate this, the petitioners should have proved ‘electoral malpractices and violations of the electoral laws in at least a majority of the constituencies’ ( Mazoka v Mwanawasa, 2005 ). However, the subjective and arbitrariness of the decision is made clear when one takes into

Morality and Marginality: Towards Sentient Conservation?
Series:
African Dynamics, Volume: 16
Nature conservation in southern Africa has always been characterised by an interplay between Capital, specific understandings of Morality, and forms of Militarism, that are all dependent upon the shared subservience and marginalization of animals and certain groups of people in society. Although the subjectivity of people has been rendered visible in earlier publications on histories of conservation in southern Africa, the subjectivity of animals is hardly ever seriously considered or explicitly dealt with. In this edited volume the subjectivity and sentience of animals is explicitly included. The contributors argue that the shared human and animal marginalisation and agency in nature conservation in southern Africa (and beyond) could and should be further explored under the label of ‘sentient conservation’.
Contributors are Malcolm Draper, Vupenyu Dzingirai, Jan-Bart Gewald, Michael Glover, Paul Hebinck, Tariro Kamuti, Lindiwe Mangwanya, Albert Manhamo, Dhoya Snijders, Marja Spierenburg, Sandra Swart, Harry Wels.
