Includes bibliographical references (p. 102-111). This dissertation is intended as an "ethnography of the particular" that might demonstrate the inter-subjectivity of 'hosts' and 'guests' subject-positions so often presented as static and oppositional of township tourism in Cape Town, South Africa. The majority of research engages in a continuing debate that emphasizes either the 'hosts' or 'guests' of a global tourism industry as either the victims or profiteers of exploitation, or innovative and entrepreneurial agents of change. I attempt is to look for the transformative potentials in the ambiguities and ambivalences surrounding township tourism, as an industry representing evidence of further penetration by neoliberalism in sub-Saharan Africa, that does not pardon the proclivities of late capitalism to widen the gaps of social stratification, but rather questions its determinism in shaping subjectivities. 2014-12-28T14:45:14Z 2014-12-28T14:45:14Z 2011 Master Thesis Masters MSocSci http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10343 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
