Valuable or devalued? An ethnography of mine work in crisisSheerin, Anne Marshall January 2015 (has links)
A research report submitted to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Anthropology, Johannesburg 2015 / Research in the mining community of Carletonville focused on how individuals negotiate and
contest different value orientations in trying to construct a workable moral economy. Based on
in-depth qualitative interviews and observations of respondents from lower and higher wage
classes, the report deconstructs the elements of differential value sets that are redefining and
sometimes destabilizing the moral economy and underlining views of inequality. Wage disputes
are seen not only as mine workers' expressions of economic injustice but perhaps more
crucially as a form of control and protection of their craft and status. The dominance of global
economic governance and decision-making is leading to more acute internal divergences but
can also be a starting point for a discussion about the impact of conflicts in social values. / XL2018

Memory, landscape and heritage at Ngquza Hill : an anthropological studyMuller, Liana 03 1900 (has links)
The main aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between landscape,
memory and heritage. It aims to establish that landscape is not only an inseparable
part of the intangible process of memory, but also the formation and perpetuation of
cultural and individual identity. The composition of heritage, including the
sociocultural and biophysical, is therefore a complex result of varying interactions
between memory and landscape, as perceived by the living custodians. The
intangible values of meaning, memory, lived experience and attachment, in relation
to people's connection to locality and landscape, are traced back to the tangible
fabric of place. Through means of qualitative and quantitative anthropological
fieldwork methods and an extensive literature review, the sociocultural profile of the
Mpondo is briefly documented. The subsequent case study explored a site in the
Eastern Cape on Ngquza Hill, where the oral traditions and memories connected to
the site are mapped. These elements were accessed through employing the theories
of mnemotechnics. / Anthropology and Archaeology / M.A. (Anthropology)
