Transnational South Africa
South Africa's 13-year-old democratic dispensation is characterised by a marked level of transnational engagements and re-engagements at a variety of scales. The influx of international capital, African immigration, skilled emigration, South African mediations of African conflict, diasporic mobilisations, the formation of South-South multilateral development partnerships and the increasing capital inter-penetration of African markets are all key features of the post-apartheid landscape. For this session we seek papers that aim to explore, from a variety of theoretical and sub-disciplinary perspectives, the continuities and newfound productivities of South African transnational engagements as practices central to the political and economic re/engagement of this state singularly poised on the cusp of the 'developed' and 'developing' worlds.
Please send short abstracts or queries to Jen Dickinson [log in to unmask] or Max Andrucki [log in to unmask] by 15 October 2007.
