Regionalentwicklung und Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktion - Zwei Fallbeispiele aus Kenia und der Demokratischen Republik Kongo / Regional Development and Human-Environment Interaction: Two Case Studies from Kenya and the Democratic Republic of the Congo

Paesler, Ferdinand January 2015 (has links) (PDF)
Der vielschichtige Begriff Entwicklung stellt die Basis für die multidisziplinäre Entwicklungsforschung, aber auch die Entwicklungspolitik und Entwicklungszusammenarbeit dar und wird demzufolge auf verschiedenste Art und Weise verwendet. Insbesondere zu den Auswirkungen regionaler Entwicklungsprozesse auf lokaler Ebene existieren innerhalb der entwicklungstheoretischen Ideengeschichte eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Zugänge, über die die vorliegende Arbeit einen kurzen Überblick gibt. Unter Berücksichtigung anthropogeographischer Ansätze zur Erforschung des Verhältnisses von Entwicklung und Raum werden im ersten (theoretischen) Teil die Konzepte der lokalen Partizipation sowie der Politischen Ökologie als geeignete Analyseinstrumente für das Verständnis konkreter lokaler Entwicklungsprozesse erarbeitet; Entwicklung wird hierbei akteurs- und kontextorientiert als Ergebnis von Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktionen angesehen. Im Rahmen eines case study research wird im zweiten Teil der Arbeit die Praxistauglichkeit dieser Analyseinstrumente überprüft. Hierfür werden in zwei Untersuchungsregionen regionale Entwicklungsdynamiken beschrieben und analysiert, um deren räumliche und soziale Auswirkungen zu verstehen. In beiden Gebieten (Mampu/Mbankana in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo sowie Wasini Island in Kenia) hat in den vergangenen Jahren eine durch unterschiedliche Prozesse verursachte rasante Regionalentwicklung stattgefunden, die die Gebiete jeweils deutlich von ihrem Umland abhebt. Im Fallbeispiel Wasini Island wurde die Entwicklung durch den (internationalen) Tourismus bedingt, in Mampu/Mbankana durch ein Entwicklungsprojekt der Hanns-Seidel-Stiftung (HSS). Für beide Gebiete wird zuerst der naturräumliche, politische und historische Kontext aufgezeigt, welcher die Rahmenbedingungen für die Analyse der einzelnen Akteure und Akteursgruppen darstellt. Sowohl für Wasini Island als auch für Mampu/Mbankana können während des Untersuchungszeitraums Ereignisse identifiziert werden, die von der einheimischen Bevölkerung (bzw. Teilen dieser) als stark situationsverändernd und zudem nicht endogen verursacht wahrgenommen werden (externe Krisen): in Wasini der drastische Einbruch der Touristenzahlen nach den Unruhen im Nachgang der Präsidentschaftswahlen (2007/08 Kenyan Crisis), im kongolesischen Untersuchungsgebiet der schrittweise Rückzug der HSS aus dem operativen Projekt ab 2009 und die damit einhergehende Übertragung von Verantwortung auf lokale Gremien und Organisationen. Durch die Zusammenführung der Ergebnisse aus beiden Fallbeispielen wird konstatiert, dass Entwicklung auf regionaler Ebene als ein kontext- und akteursabhängiger dynamischer Prozess anzusehen ist, der aus den kumulierten, in beide Richtungen wirksamen Mensch-Umwelt-Interaktionen in der betrachteten Region resultiert, und damit in der Tradition geopossibilistischer Perspektiven steht, in denen die natürliche bzw. geographische ebenso wie die gesellschaftliche Umwelt die Rahmenbedingungen für menschliches Handeln und damit Entwicklung vorgibt, jedoch nicht determiniert. / Development as the fundamental concept of Development Studies, Politics and Cooperation is an inhomogeneously used term with a variety of different connotations. This dissertation gives in its theoretical part a short introduction to the history of development thought, focused especially on geographical approaches concerning regional development as well as the relationship between development and space. Thus, local participation and political ecology are identified as suitable instruments for analysing dynamics and actual processes of local development. So the stakeholder- and context-oriented approach leads to development as a result of human-environment interactions. To confirm the usability of the theoretical implications mentioned above, the second part contains a case study research to describe and analyse the regional development and its spatial and social effects in two field study areas. The actual developments in both regions ¬- Wasini Island in Kenya and Mampu/Mbankana in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - are thereby heavily affected by external influences, namely international tourism and nature conservation (Wasini), respectively a development cooperation project carried out by the Hanns Seidel Foundation (Mampu/Mbankana). The analyses also take into account the particular natural-spatial, political and historical context, being the framework for local stakeholders‘ actions. In both study areas events changing the situation can be found, which by large parts of local populations are experienced as exogenous crises: a dramatic decline of tourist arrivals due to the post-electoral riots (2007/08 Kenyan Crisis) in Wasini and the phasing out of Hanns Seidel Foundation‘s financial support in Mampu/Mbankana since 2009, including intraregional shifts of responsibilities and influence. As a result of both the theoretical and empirical findings, development on a regional level is analysed as a stakeholder- and context-dependent process which consists of the accumulated two-way human-environment interactions within a region. This perspective is founded on the tradition of geographical possibilism, because it shows the natural, geographical and social environments framing, but not determining, human actions and thus development processes.

The Swahilization of Kenya`s socio-political culture

King`ei, Geoffrey Kitula 13 August 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Although it has spread mainly as a lingua franca, Kiswahili, Kenya`s national language, is increasingly becoming the language of intercultural communication. Most interestingly, Kiswahili is catching up as the medium of intra-group conversation in many rural up-country areas in Kenya. Not only do most Kenyan women wear lesos and kangas bearing Kiswahili proverbial sayings but the youth form different language communication almost invariably converse and interact through the medium of share or just Kiswahili. This brief paper sets out to speculate on the nature of Swahili lexical diffusion in up-country Kenya. Observation is made of the plorification of common Swahili names in both urban and rural areas far from the Swahili speaking coast. The paper argues that given the ever-growing tendency for non-Swahili speaking Kenyan up-country communities to adopt and use Swahili names represents a forum of intercultural communication. There seems to be a deliberate socio-cultural and political preference for Swahili names not just to denote borrowed Swahili concepts in the up-country communities but to forge a `nationalistic`culture as opposed to a localized and ethnic culture.

Some remarks on Kithaka wa Mberia's poetry

Zúbková-Bertoncini, Elena 16 August 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Kithaka wa Mberia (b.1956) is one of the most innovative Kenyan poets. Until now he has published four collections of poems and three plays. His poems contain a strong political and social criticism, sometimes in the form of animal allegories. He condemns various acts of violence done to women, like rapes of schoolgirls or prostitution caused by poverty. Some compositions seem life-stories of real persons, others are overtly didactic and moralizing, but in all the theme of social justice is almost obsessive. Another group of poems highlights the author’s concern with his surroundings and with the “health conditions” of the Earth in general; thus, for instance, he denounces the devastation of Kenyan soil in order to get foreign currency. His love of nature makes him address affectionate verses to animals, insects and plants. Formally the poems have little in common with the poetic tradition of the Swahili coast as they are in free verse. Kithaka exhibits a rich vocabulary of botanical and zoological terms and is fond of various forms of word-playing like chiming and punning; an important role in his poetry is played by parallelism. Moreover, he introduces into Kiswahili visual poems where typography is relied upon to perform expressive effects. Kithaka wa Mberia, together with other East African contemporary poets, proves that Swahili poetry is able to express universal themes and can reach a high artistic value even without repeating traditional models.
