Sitophilus zeamais is one of the more important and severe pests of stored grains. Its control is carried out predominantly by synthetic insecticides, a practice that must be rethought assuming the increasing demands for pesticide-free foods. This work aimed at evaluating the bioactivity of Eucalyptus cv. “Urocam” essential oil on 10- to 30-day-old S. zeamais. Essential oil from the leaves of Eucalyptus cv. “Urocam” was sprayed on corn kernels, infected by S. zeamais, at the rate dosage of 0.0; 1.0; 2.0; 3.0 and 5.0 L t-1. A completely randomized experimental design with five replicates was used to conduct the experiment. All data were analyzed by the F test and whenever a significant interaction was found, analysis of variance and regression tests were performed (Assistat 7.7 Beta software). The terpene with the highest concentration in the Eucalyptus cv. “Urocam” essential oil was Eucalyptol (74%). Based on our results, it can be inferred that Eucalyptus cv. “Urocam” essential oil presents a good potential of use in the dosages of 3.0 and 5.0 L t-1 of corn kernels due to the high mortality of S. zeamais within the first hours after application, reaching 100% by the end of the first 24 hours.

The article describes the possibility to grow tropical freshwater crayfish Cherax quadricarinatus (Von Martens, 1868) and shrimp Macrobrachium rosenbergii (De Man, 1879)

in the climatic conditions of the Astrakhan region during 3-5 months, with further wintering in the ponds of fish farms. To achieve the maximum effect of the semi-intensive and intensive cultivation conditions it is necessary to apply additional feeding, observe the norms of seeding density and the diets of crustaceans. In two series of experimental works conducted in 2019-2020 on the base of Astrakhan State Technical University and a small innovative enterprise Modern Fishbreeding Complex Sharapovsky there was studied the method of increasing the biological and aquaculture potential of fast-growing tropical freshwater crayfish and shrimps by adjusting feed diets, chilled wet feed, and native formula feed based on feed components of local raw materials. Salicornia perennans Willd, a halophyte plant, was introduced into the formulation for the first time. As a result of experimental works the recommendations on semi-intensive and intensive cultivation of tropical freshwater species have been formulated, the possibility of increasing biological and aquaculture productivity of grown objects has been considered, which is recorded in the fish-biological standards and general management processes.

Authors: Corfield Fulcheri Carolina Estefanía
Published: June 2020

En el siguiente trabajo se analiza y describe la manera en que desde el discurso de los vecinos de Villa Belgrano y Villa Talleres [dos barrios de la ciudad de Junín, noroeste de la provincia de Buenos Aires] tejieron y desarrollaron estrategias para que la identidad barrial fuera integrada a la idea de ser nacional que emanaba desde el estado, durante los años 1943 y 1944. La pretensión estatal representaba y suponía un conflicto con la identidad/identidades locales. En un contexto en donde el Estado Argentino había asumido en líneas generales la idea de una nación argentina medianamente homogénea para mediados del pasado siglo XX, luego de casi cincuenta años de políticas tendientes a integrar la población migrante dentro de un proyecto político y económico, el discurso y las prácticas de estas comunidades van a poner en entre dicho la solidez pretendida desde los organismos estatales en diversos niveles. Su discurso se estudia a partir de una publicación micro-local, como lo era el periódico, primero quincenal y luego trimestral, Horizontes, órgano exclusivo de dichos barrios. En el trabajo se realiza una lectura crítica del periódico de las Villas y se efectúa un seguimiento de algunos conflictos desarrollados en torno a problemáticas tales como la Higiene, el desarrollo barrial y urbanístico, las características morales de la población, varios reclamos a la Municipalidad de Junín, etc.

La rabdomancia en la Nueva España. Práctica, apología y ridiculización
Authors: Strobel del Moral Héctor Manuel
Published: June 2020

La rabdomancia fue practicada en la Nueva España por personas de las clases populares. Se tiene noticia de ella durante los siglos XVII y XVIII gracias a denuncias hechas ante el Santo Oficio. Si bien tuvo algunos adeptos, frecuentemente se le consideró como algo ridículo. Lo interesante es que dicha opinión coexistió con otra, la religiosa, que la concibió como pecado. Pese a ello, la primera postura primó sobre la segunda, de modo que los rabdomantes comúnmente fueron puestos en burla, pero nunca castigados. Este artículo busca explicar tal fenómeno, pero también se interesa en reconstruir e interpretar la forma como se practicó dicho “secreto y ciencia”.
Las huellas del ganado en el valle de Matlatzinco en el siglo XVI a través de los mapas hispanoindígenas
Authors: Ruz Barrio Miguel Ángel
Published: June 2020

En este artículo, se presentan los efectos que tuvo sobre el paisaje del valle de Matlatzinco o de Toluca la introducción de la ganadería europea. Para ello, se recurre sobre todo a mapas antiguos del siglo XVI en los que quedó fijada la presencia de diversos elementos (corrales, estancias de ganado, majadas, pastizales, etc.) que modificaron el espacio y que nos ayudan a localizar qué zonas de esta región se dedicaron a determinados tipos de ganado. Asimismo, se identificarán algunas construcciones (cercas) que trataron de frenar los agravios que sufrían los pueblos de indios en sus sementeras. Estas cercas se realizaron por todo el valle y supusieron una modificación importante en el paisaje que tuvo también un impacto sobre el territorio.

La sociología, como ciencia que estudia los procesos de movilización social y acción colectiva, ha encontrado en la guerra civil de El Salvador un modelo explicativo de la evolución de los conflictos políticos, así como de los procesos de diálogos y construcción de sociedades democráticas. El Salvador, país centroamericano que en el marco de la guerra fría se convirtió en el último escenario de esta en el hemisferio occidental. Sin embargo, no fue solamente un contexto más del enfrentamiento ideológico de las grandes potencias del siglo XX; las formas creativas de organización social y política en miras de resolver las problemáticas de pobreza, acceso a tierras, desigualdad, desempleo lograron conformar toda una red de apoyo y solidaridad durante años previos a la guerra civil, que permitió crear una base solida de militancia política.

Amoebic liver abscess in a 45-day-old baby: a case report
Authors: Shahzadi Nagina , Rubab Uzma , Hashmat Nadeem , Satti Naureen Kanwal
Published: June 2020

Background:

Liver abscess has been reported in children, but amoebic liver abscess is very rare in infants. This is a rare case report of an amoebic liver abscess in a 45-day-old baby.

Case Presentation:

A 45-day-old male baby was referred to the gastroenterology department with an 8-days history of fever and vomiting off and on. His feed intake was less than usual, but otherwise did not have any other systemic complaints. On examination, the liver was enlarged 3 cm below the coastal margin. Routine labs were conducted along with liver ultrasound and Computed tomography (CT scan) of the abdomen. Ultrasound revealed multiple liver abscesses. CT scan showed cystic lesions in the right lobe of the liver. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test was positive for amoebiasis. The baby was treated with antibiotics and discharged after 2 weeks. He was advised to take oral metronidazole for 4 weeks. After a month, he was reviewed in the follow-up clinic with complete recovery and normal ultrasound.

Conclusion:

Amoebiasis is endemic in developing countries [1]. It is the second most common cause of mortality after malaria [2]. It is common in adults but rare in small children [3]. Awareness about good hygiene and drinking clean boiled water should be emphasized.
Acute compartment syndrome as a complication of mosquito repellent toxicity—a case report
Authors: Sharma Aman , Bhattacharya Atanu B. , Asati Gauri Shankar , Roy Sudipta
Published: June 2020

Background:

The aim of this study was to understand the local manifestations and complications of mosquito repellent toxicity.

Case presentation:

A 16-year-old female presented to the emergency department with the complaints of severe pain over the left upper limb, with tense swelling and difficulty in movement. On the evaluation of history, the patient confirmed to have injected 2 ml of mosquito repellent “Good Knight” liquid into the flexor aspect of the left forearm just above the wrist joint a week back, and she gradually developed swelling and pain, for which she was being treated elsewhere. She was brought with restricted movement of the wrist joint with moderate pain and swelling extending up to the elbow region.

Conclusion:

In this case, the patient had injected around 2 ml of mosquito repellent liquid into the anterior compartment of the forearm above palmar carpal ligament. This solution is an acidic, toxic solution that causes irritation in skin tissues, in which one gets a direct exposure. This patient developed acute compartment syndrome which could have further led to Volkmann’s contracture. Such chemical irritants can lead to life-threatening scenarios if left untreated and may irreversibly damage the structures that they have been exposed to. Timely intervention to release the compartment pressures may help to save the limb deformity or limb loss.

Authors: Sánchez-Medina Ricardo , De la Rosa-Gómez Anabel , Enríquez-Negrete David Javier , Velasco-Hernández Dulce María
Published: June 2020

El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar si la comunicación sobre temas sexuales y el estilo de negociación de colaboración-equidad predicen el uso del condón en las relaciones sexuales de hombres privados de la libertad, para lo cual se retomó el modelo de Información, Motivación y Habilidades Conductuales como marco de referencia. Se evaluó a 687 hombres internados en un centro varonil de reinserción social de la Ciudad de México. Se encontró que la comunicación y el estilo de negociación para usar condón centrado en la colaboración y equidad son variables que predicen el uso de este preservativo en las relaciones sexuales. Las variables de información y motivación que predicen la comunicación son la intención, la autoeficacia, las actitudes y las creencias hacia el uso del condón, así como los conocimientos sobre el VIH/sida; en cambio, los predictores del estilo de negociación fueron las creencias, la autoeficacia y las actitudes hacia el uso del condón y la información sobre el VIH. Los resultados indican la necesidad de desarrollar las habilidades centradas en la comunicación con la pareja y los modos de negociar el uso del condón en las relaciones sexuales en los programas de intervención en dicha población.

Si bien se han desarrollado y validado algunos instrumentos para medir la calidad de vida en adolescentes y adultos colombianos, y en otros países también se han realizado investigaciones en niños; cabe mencionar que, no hay evidencia de estudios similares en Colombia. Por tal motivo, el objetivo de la siguiente investigación fue describir las propiedades psicométricas iniciales de la versión en español del Children Well-Being Scale [CPWS] en una muestra poblacional de 229 niños preescolares colombianos entre 3 y 6 años de edad. Se desarollaron análisis descriptivos, análisis de dimensionalidad de los modelos a través de análisis factorial confirmatorio, análisis de correlaciones de Pearson, y una serie de análisis de varianza y de pruebas t de los factores de la CPWS según la información sociodemográfica de los participantes. Los resultados indicaron que los análisis factoriales confirmatorios realizados apoyan la estructura factorial del CPWS propuesta en la validación original en Irán. Adicionalmente, los indicadores psicométricos obtenidos en la traducción colombiana corresponden con los criterios de bienestar psicológico en niños definidos por la teoría que sustenta este tipo de instrumentos. Finalmente, el CPWS como un cuestionario original, mantiene tres factores: autoconcepto, satisfacción con la vida y resiliencia, con validez y confiabilidad aceptables.
In Search of the Truth: Uncovering Nursing’s Involvement in Colonial Harms and Assimilative Policies Five Years Post Truth and Reconciliation Commission
Authors: Symenuk Paisly Michele , Tisdale Dawn , Bourque Bearskin Danielle H. , Munro Tessa
Published: June 2020

The year 2020 marks five years since the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) of Canada released its Calls to Action, directing nursing to take action on both “truth” and “reconciliation.” The aim of this article is to examine how nurses have responded to the TRC’s call for truth in uncovering nursing’s involvement in past and present colonial harms that continue to negatively impact Indigenous people. A narrative review was used to broadly examine nurses’ responses to uncovering nursing’s complicity in five colonial harms: Indian hospitals, Indian Residential Schools, child apprehension, Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls (MMIWG), and forced sterilization. The paucity of results during the post-TRC period demonstrates a lack of scholarship in uncovering the truth of nursing’s complicity in these systems. Based on findings, we explore two potential barriers in undertaking this work in nursing, including a challenge to the image of nursing and anti-Indigenous racism.
Towards a Multi-theoretical Approach on the Board and Firm Performance Relationship
Authors: Tien Nguyen Thu Thuy
Published: June 2020

Recent reviews of research on company boards and firm performance relationship tend to criticise three of the main traditional theories on boards, namely Agency Theory (AT), Resource Dependence Theory (RDT), and Managerial Power Theory (MPT) for their narrow assumptions and focuses on a limited range of board tasks. This study provides a critical review on these above theories and promotes a direction towards an integrated approach with three important governance factors, namely board capability, board incentives, and CEO power for a better understanding of board-firm performance relationship.
Jeopolitik Risk ve Borsa Endeksinin Nedensellik Analizi: Gelişmekte Olan Ülkeler Üzerine Bootstrap Panel Nedensellik Testi
Authors: ÜÇLER Gülbahar , ÖZŞAHİN Şerife
Published: June 2020

Jeopolitik risk, ekonomik belirsizlik ve siyasi belirsizlik, ekonomide yol açtıkları olumsuz etkilerden dolayı “belirsizlik üçlüsü” olarak anılmaktadır. Jeopolitik risk unsuru sadece yerel terör saldırılarının değil, aynı zamanda savaş riskleri, askeri tehditler ve Orta Doğu gerginlikleri gibi tüm küresel belirsizlikleri kapsamaktadır. Jeopolitik riskler yatırım kararlarının belirleyicilerinden biri olması nedeniyle tüm finansal piyasaları etkilemektedir. Yüksek jeopolitik riskin borsa endeksinde düşüş, yabancı sermayenin ülkeden çıkışı, ekonomik faaliyet hacminde daralma şeklinde sıralanacak makro ve mikro ölçekli pek çok olumsuz etkisinden bahsedilmektedir. Jeopolitik riskin etkilerini ampirik olarak test etmeye yönelik çalışmaların sayısı ise oldukça sınırlıdır. Bu durumun en temel nedeni, jeopolitik riskin ölçümüne yönelik tutarlı bir göstergenin olmayışından kaynaklanmaktadır. Caldara ve Iacoviello (2016), ABD, İngiltere ve Kanada’da basılan 11 gazetenin arşivlerini tarayarak ülkeler arası savaş, terörist atak ve askeri gerilimleri konu eden haberlerin sayımını yapmışlar ve 1985 yılı Ocak ayından başlamak üzere jeopolitik risk ölçütünü (Geopolitical Risk-GPR) geliştirmişlerdir. Bu çalışma Aralık 1987-Ağustos 2018 döneminde 9 gelişmekte olan ülkede Caldara ve Iacoviello (2016) jeopolitik risk ölçütü ve borsa endeksi arasında nedensellik ilişkisinin varlığını araştırmaktadır. Bu amaçla her bir ülke için bootstrap ve Wald istatistiğinin hesaplandığı SUR sistemine dayalı bir yöntem olan Kónya (2006) panel nedensellik testi uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen ampirik bulgular Arjantin, Brezilya, Meksika ve Tayland’da jeopolitik riskten borsa endeksine doğru tek yönlü nedensellik olduğunu göstermiştir.
Finansal Tablolarda Hile Riskinin Belirlenmesi Üzerine Bir Model Önerisi: BIST Uygulaması
Authors: ÖZEVİN Onur
Published: June 2020

Bu çalışmanın amacı, finansal tablolarda manipülasyona işaret eden belirli bir finansal bilgi kümesinin olup olmadığını araştırmaktır. Rapor, finansal tablolarda manipülasyon riskini tespit etmede anlamlı ve yüksek açıklama gücüne sahip bir model geliştirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Oran analizine dayalı karma modeller, BIST şirketlerinin finansal tablo verileri ve lojistik regresyon tarafından seçilen güçlü göstergelerle test edilmiştir. Risk ve kontrol gruplarını sınıflandırmak için Benford analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada önerilen model, finansal tablolardaki riskleri belirlemek için literatürde sıkça kullanılan üç modelin - Altman (1978), Beneish (1999) ve Spathis (2002) - güçlü ve zayıf yönlerinin incelenmesiyle oluşturulmuştur. Model, diğer modellerle karşılaştırıldığında modeller arasında% 10,4 ile en yüksek açıklayıcı güce sahiptir. Model, finansal tablolarda manipülasyon riski yüksek şirketleri % 16,7 oranında doğru tahmin etmektedir. Ayrıca, modeldeki tüm değişkenler % 95 anlamlılık düzeyinde anlamlıdır. Bu araştırma, BIST reel sektörünü ve 2008-2017 dönemini ticaret yapan 184 firma ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu makale, manipülasyon riski tespiti için kullanılabilecek karma modellere alternatif olarak original bir model önermektedir. Ayrıca model, risk ve kontrol gruplarını sınıflandırmak için Benford Analizini kullanarak yeni bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Bu modelin denetçilere, uzmanlara ve araştırmacılara denetim hedefleri için yararlı olabileceği değerlendirilmektedir.

Assessment of the impact of factors upon tourism revenue in Jordan
Authors: Shakra Moayyad , Shmidt Yuriy Davydovich
Published: June 2020

This article examines Jordan’s tourism revenue over the recent years. Tourism is a substantial source of national revenue and significantly contributes to the flow of foreign currency for the development of national economy. The economic theory claims that tourism revenue is affected by a wide range of factors. The article explores the impact of consumer price index and number of tourists upon Jordan’s tourism revenue. In the course of this study, the author used the statistical data of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund; applied Autoregressive Distributed Lag model (ARDL); and conducted necessary diagnostic tests in Eviews 9 software. The research demonstrated that high internal inflation ratios reduce the external demand for tourism services in Jordan, and thus significantly decrease the tourism revenue. Over a long-term, the author determines a negative influence of consumer price index upon tourism revenue in Jordan and the expected positive influence of the number of tourists thereof.  
A Critical Review of Religious Education Policies and Practices of Turkey from the Perspective of Inclusion
Authors: Sahin Idris , Kesik Fatma
Published: June 2020

This study presents a critical review of religious education policies and practices from the perspective of inclusion. In this sense, it raises the problematics of compulsory and optional religious education courses and Imam Hatip schools, which have an important place in state-religion relationships in Turkey as an inclusive education issue. Considering the education policies and practices that emerged as a result of these policies, it can be argued that no matter how objective, democratic, pluralistic and thus inclusive the discourses the authorities and governments used were, from the very beginning, they did not manage to be independent of any ideology and included exclusive practices in differing aspects. Accordingly, what is expected from the Turkish education system is to embrace an inclusive approach that encourages the representation of all religious groups and atheists and to prioritise “students,” not ideologies.
Resurrecting the “Black Archives”: Revisiting Benedict Wallet Vilakazi with a Focus on the Utility and Meaning of African Languages and Literatures in Higher Education
Authors: Zondi Nompumelelo Bernadette
Published: June 2020

Although viewed (and dismissed) by many as primarily a tool for communication, language (and literature) cannot be understood only in relation to what it communicates. A study of how it is shaped uncovers the social forces that provide its broad and complex template in the acts of reading and writing. This article focuses on the utility and meaning of African languages and literatures in higher education, with Benedict Wallet Vilakazi’s (1906–1947) poetry at the centre. It argues how, by resurrecting “black archives”, in this article epitomised by revisiting the work of one iconic writer and scholar, Vilakazi, we could give further impetus to the prospect of intellectual efforts in African languages. In this context, the article upholds the value and meaning of this scholar while offering perspectives on the saliency of his work for inter alia the meanings and location of African languages and literatures with regard to epistemic diversity, the “transformation” of curricula, tradition versus modernity, gender, the meaning of identity, and the broader humanist project. In essence, therefore, the article suggests that in an academic context, African languages and literatures require a serious engagement with the “implied reader”, “the native subject” and consequently necessitates greater troubling, unsettling in the way we teach, the way we write, and the way we read. It suggests that acts of rereading (albeit preliminary) are an important intervention in the project of the intellectualisation of our discipline.
Reflexive Encountering and Postgraduate Research Training in South Africa
Authors: Du Plessis Gretchen Erika
Published: June 2020

This article, based on theoretical reflections and empirical examples, outlines dilemmas in the social positioning of postgraduate research when students are challenged with their locations as insiders and outsiders in terms of the issues they investigate in Development Studies. Encountering the “other” and oneself in, against and beyond the scholarship-activism binary offers fertile ground for engaged research yet is entangled with configurations of power and regulation in academia. This argument is developed by drawing on three recent examples of postgraduate research production and a quantitative rapid appraisal of postgraduate production at a tertiary institution. The analysis of quantitative data and case studies evinces particular issues in outsourcing of knowledge production, researcher reflexivity, possibilities for co-production and tenacious anticipatory-procedural ethics as embedded in institutional practices and orthodoxies that direct, enable and constrain such matters. The author questions the normalisation of knowledge-production power when the imperative to mutual, inclusive learning, coupled with critical self-reflection by researchers in Development Studies is thwarted. Possibilities to overcome these dilemmas in Mode three institutions are suggested.
Chaos Theory and the Neoliberal English-Based Dimension of the Polish Higher Education Reforms 2018/2019
Authors: Odrowaz-Coates Anna
Published: June 2020

This article draws on chaos theory to critically analyse the recent higher education reforms that have been taking place in Poland. The argument launched in this article aims to show that the reforms are based primarily on neoliberal foundations and to expose the linguistic dominance of the English language in neoliberal settings. The English language appears to be a strong tool of neoliberal power, used to empower or to marginalise local academics. The divisive power of English exploited by reformists creates a growing fissure between age cohorts, disciplines and academics representing diverse social backgrounds. The tension and uncertainty brought about by the reforms have increased the anxiety and competition between scholars, undermining solidarity and compromising joint agency. The long-term results of entering the neoliberal “rat race”, which is strongly reliant on English language skills, are yet unknown.
Madness, Masturbation and Masculinity in the Casebooks of the Grahamstown Lunatic Asylum, 1890–1907
Authors: Du Plessis Rory
Published: June 2020

Though there exists a wealth of scholarship dedicated to exploring the history and discourses of masturbation, a number of topics remain that still require ample academic attention and investigation. For example, only a handful of studies have engaged with exploring the concept of masturbation in the records of psychiatric facilities, and the history of masturbation in South Africa is still in its infancy. In this article, I seek to contribute to the scholarship of the aforementioned topics by exploring the discourses of masturbation in the casebooks of the Grahamstown Lunatic Asylum, South Africa, from 1890 to 1907. The exploration is a micro-study of masturbation that is delimited to a sample of men who were white, single and young. In doing so, I forgo offering a comparative analysis of the discourses of masturbation from different demographic groups, and instead aim to offer an in-depth exploration of the nuances, transformations and complexities in the discourse in only the aforementioned patient sample.
Transnational Habitus and Sociability in the City: Zimbabwean Migrants’ Experiences in Johannesburg, South Africa
Authors: Moyo Khangelani
Published: June 2020

Drawing on field research and a survey of 150 Zimbabwean migrants in Johannesburg, this paper explores the dimensions of migrants’ transnational experiences in the urban space. I discuss the use of communication platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook as well as other means such as telephone calls in fostering the embedding of transnational migrants within both the Johannesburg and the Zimbabwean socio-economic environments. I engage this migrant-embedding using Bourdieusian concepts of “transnational habitus” and “transnational social field,” which are migration specific variations of Bourdieu’s original concepts of “habitus” and “social field.” In deploying these Bourdieusian conceptual tools, I observe that the dynamics of South–South migration as observed in the Zimbabwean migrants are different to those in the South–North migration streams and it is important to move away from using the same lens in interpreting different realities. For Johannesburg-based migrants to operate within the socio-economic networks produced in South Africa and in Zimbabwe, they need to actively acquire a transnational habitus. I argue that migrants’ cultivation of networks in Johannesburg is instrumental, purposive, and geared towards achieving specific and immediate goals, and latently leads to the development and sustenance of flexible forms of permanency in the transnational urban space.
Gender, the Indian Rural Economy and the Household Historical Perspectives on Migration from British India to Africa
Authors: Hiralal Kalpana
Published: June 2020

In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the poor socio-economic and political conditions in India facilitated the migration of both indentured and free or “passenger” Indians to Natal, South Africa. The latter unencumbered by contractual labour arrived under normal immigration laws and hence were referred to as “passenger” Indians. Whilst the “push” and “pull” factors of indentured Indians to some extent have been documented, this has been largely absent for “passenger” Indians. This article examines male-centred “passenger” Indian migration in the context of gender, the rural household and economy in western India in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This paper highlights that the male outmigration to a very large extent was governed by two factors: gender relations within the household and women’s role in the rural economy. Women were left behind in the towns and villages not because they were absent from the decision-making process during migration, but because their domestic activities were central in augmenting the rural household. This article obliterates the myth of the “passive” and “docile” female in historical migrations in the Indian diaspora by shifting the migration narratives from the traditional ports of settlement to the untapped ports of departure to acquire better insights to historical “push” factors that facilitated “passenger” Indian migration. It makes the colonial rural household, of which women were an integral part, the centre of analysis, thereby providing new perspectives on gender relations and how they shaped and influenced male-centred migration.
Renegotiating Gender Identities and Sexual Bodies: Zimbabwean Migrant Women’s Narratives of Everyday Life in South Africa
Authors: Batisai Kezia , Manjowo Lylian
Published: June 2020

A wide range of literature reveals that women in many African societies have historically been faced with the challenge of patriarchy and lack of freedom in their households—a challenge also mirrored in institutions of education, the economy, law and politics. This gendered position produces gendered inequalities which lead women to experience poverty more severely than men. The feminisation of poverty has over the years resulted in the feminisation of migration, which implies a change in women’s migratory identities and roles, where women are increasingly migrating as independent migrants rather than to rejoin male family members. Often, women migrate due to a desire for greater autonomy and a decrease in social restrictions on their productive and reproductive bodies. They also migrate to enhance their economic opportunities and seek new survival strategies in their endeavour to cater for their family’s needs and those that pertain to their being. It is against this backdrop that this article explores the experiences of migrant women and the strategies they employ as they, against all odds, renegotiate and reconstitute their gendered identities and sexual bodies in order to survive the complex realities of living in a “foreign” space. The article focuses on 15 Zimbabwean migrant women’s experiences of feminised poverty that pushed them out of the boundaries of their homeland, and the sexual and gendered livelihoods that emerged as part of their survival strategies in South Africa. As the article engages with Zimbabwean migrant women’s experiences prior to and after moving to South Africa, it is at work to illuminate how sexuality and migration shape and reshape one another. The article analyses the role of sexuality in gender and migration research that has not been given the pre-eminence it should in the Global South. Overall, the article reveals that the often subsumed and hidden role of sexuality in gender and migration research adds another complex layer of vulnerability to the bodies, identities and roles of Zimbabwean migrant women in South Africa.
