Theoretically informed by the work of Castells, Hassim, and other theorists exploring the dynamics of ‘movement building,’ the thesis focuses upon the discourses of solidarity used within one particular feminist organisation as it imagines new alliances. The organisation (Sonke Gender Justice Network) concentrates on the work of transforming violent hegemonic masculinities and plans to develop programmes working with new partners whose work focuses on justice and the lives of transgendered, lesbian, gay, and intersex people and communities (‘LGBTI’). The research draws on qualitative data drawn from interviews with Sonke staff and on the researcher’s own experience as an intern within the organisation, and analyses the material in order to explore the shape and implications of discourses on new alliances. The conclusions of the thesis speak to the complexities of imagining solidarity across differences of theory, identity, and experience. 2014-07-29T20:22:16Z 2014-07-29T20:22:16Z 2012 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/3620 eng application/pdf Social Anthropology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
