Title A name given to the resource Contract Labour System and Farm Labourers’ Experiences in Pre-Independent Namibia: Historical Reflections, Perspectives and Lessons Description An account of the resource "This paper centrally uses the recorded oral interviews of former contract labourers from the Kavango in northeast Namibia, supplemented with archival sources from the National Archives of Namibia (NAN) and written sources to reflect on the experiences of farm labourers under the contract labour system during the South African colonial period. The paper explores journeys to and from the farms, the living and farm work experiences and farm workers’ perception of their experiences under the contract labour system. The aim is to provide a historical basis to extract lessons to understand the current challenges presented by farm labour practices in postcolonial Namibia where the plights of farm workers remains a pertinent and persistent labour issue. The paper points that the paradigm of exploitation, suppression and entrapment under the contract labour system remain dominant in the narratives of former farm labourers. Furthermore, many farm labourers viewed their mistreatment under the contract labour system as colonial exploitation at its worst as the wages were too low. Although many of them extended their contracts in the hope to accumulate more money to improve their social and economic conditions, this remained an everlasting hope and a permanent failure."

Title A name given to the resource Influence of Geomorphology on the Physiognomy of Colophospermum mopane and its Effect on Browsing in Central Namibia Description An account of the resource Colophospermum mopane is a characteristic tree species indigenous to Southern Africa, where it forms 'mopane vegetation.' Mopane plays an important role in livestock farming, and the physiognomy of mopane influences the availability of feed. This study clarified the relationship between the difference in mopane physiognomy and the browsing activity of goats with reference to geomorphology. The physiognomy of mopane corresponded to geomorphological characteristics of surface structures and soil layer thickness. Consequently, the landscape based on the physiognomy of mopane was more diverse in the mountainous study area. Short, multi-stemmed mopane dominated the pediment and crest surface, while tall, single-stemmed mopane trees dominated the flood plain and ephemeral river bed. We determined that people recognize the differences in vegetation and geomorphology and use this knowledge to ensure good browsing for their goats. Most browsing occurred on pediment, where many short, multi-stemmed mopane plants, an important browsing resource for goats, can be found. The physiognomy of mopane at the study site corresponded to geomorphology and was related to browsing activity.

Title A name given to the resource Recent Grain-Size Coarsening of Floodplain Deposits and Forest Decline along the Kuiseb River, Namib Desert, Namibia Description An account of the resource We investigated the flood plain deposits of the middle reach of the Kuiseb River in order to reveal the recent fluvial environment changes and forest decline. For the conservation of watershed environments, it is important to examine the relationship between environmental and hydrological changes. Fluvial deposits are useful for this as they record the past environmental changes in a catchment. Grain size coarsening was seen in the upper flood plain deposits in many places. The cause of the deposit coarsening was considered to be a relative increase in the supply of coarse material. The frequency of floods seems to have been decreased by the construction of many dams in the upper stream area, but sand dunes continue to advance on the river bed, increasing the relative supply rate of coarse material (dune sand). Notable forest declines were observed at the places where marked deposition of coarse sand had occurred, as such coarse deposits cannot retain water and are desiccated rapidly. The subsequent severe dry conditions at the roots induce tree death.

Title A name given to the resource LANDFORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE MIDDLE COURSE OF THE KUISEB RIVER IN THE NAMIB DESERT, NAMIBIA Description An account of the resource The hyperarid to arid Namib Desert extends along the west coast of southern Africa. The Kuiseb River is one of the major ephemeral rivers originating in the interior highland, and crosses the Namib Desert. Fluvial terraces are well developed along the middle reaches of the Kuiseb River near Gobabeb, and are classified into four surfaces: upper (H), middle 1 (M1), middle 2 (M2), and lower (L). Layers of calcrete are founded on the M1 and M2 surfaces, and gypcrete layers are founded on the H surface. Dead tree matter, buried by dune sand on the L surface, dates to 300±60 years BP and 550±50 years BP. The calcareous crusts on the M1 surface date to 5, 300±60 years BP and 6, 450±50 years BP, and those of the M2 surface date to 22, 070±260 years BP. The presence of calcrete suggests that the ground water level was higher when the M1 and M2 surfaces were formed than it is at the present time. Tree size distribution on the L surface demonstrates that the L surface was also formed during a relatively wet period. It may be concluded, therefore, that these fluvial terraces record the humid periods of ca 22 ka, 5–6.5 ka, and 300–600 years BP in the catchment area of the Kuiseb River. The presence of a water-soluble gypsum crust on the H surface suggests that the paleohydrologic environment of these terrace-forming periods probably involved increased rainfall in the interior highland east of the desert.

Title A name given to the resource Labour Resource and Research Institute (LaRRI) Description An account of the resource The Labour Resource and Research Institute (LaRRI) is a vibrant Namibian based research and education institute committed to the overall political and economic independence of all working people in Namibia and beyond. The institute fights for a fair, just social and economic Namibian society through labour research,education, and lobbying and advocacy. The institute believes that the nature and scope of labour research is informed by the struggles and experiences of the working people and consequently shaped by their values, principles and their world view. It is no doubt that labour is the primary source of value but many workers continue to be exploited and undervalued. LaRRI was therefore established in 1998 to seek answers to the existing economic and social order with a view to provide alternative developmental agenda in favour of the working class. Unionization rates in Namibia are high. 30 trade unions grouped into two federations represent over 100,000 workers. Namibia has no minimum wage, but trade unions have managed to negotiate minimum wage agreements in both the agricultural and construction sectors. Despite some success in the traditional sectors, Namibian Unions still face many challenges, and will have to improve their recruitment strategies and organize their workers in non-traditional sectors. Unions need to develop effective strategies to influence socio-economic policies in favor of the workers and the poor that span beyond the workplace. LaRRI offers a range of short and medium term courses for trade union leaders, organizers, and shopstewards in Namibia and the Southern African Development Community (SADC) region. Courses offered include: political economy, globalization, export processing zones (EPZs), structural adjustment programmes (SAPs) collective bargaining, affirmitive action, and gender issues. In addition, LaRRI offers an accredited labour diploma course, which is run in cooperation with the Workers College, the University of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa, and the University of Namibia. Besides its research reports, LaRRI has published a range of seminar papers and articles for local and international publications. LaRRI has also produced popular booklets for trade unions, most of which are available on LaRRI’s website and the resource center. LaRRI is a founding member of the African Labour Research Network (ALRN), which carries out research projects for trade unions across Africa. LaRRI continuously updates and expands its resource centre, which now contains a range of books and periodicals on various topics like trade unions in Namibia and the SADC region, industrial relations, gender equality, international trade unions, HIV/Aids, the Namibian economy, occupational health and safety, as well as UNDP and ILO publications. The resource centre serves as a library for trade unions, NGOs, students and the general public. The institute engages in public debate by organizing and being invited to public discussions, book presentations, lectures, and workshops. Media appearances are also frequent. Furthermore, the institute will expand its engagements by actively disseminating the ongoing initiatives through poster campaigns, periodic public gatherings with community members, cultural events, and social media.

Title A name given to the resource Reintegration as Recognition: Ex-combatant and veteran politics in Namibia Description An account of the resource PhD Dissertation - "This is a study of Namibian ex-combatant and veteran policies after the country s transition to independence in 1990. Instead of assessing the successfulness of reintegration against its stated objectives or the perspective of post-conflict policy discourses, it examines the politics of reintegration as a process of multiform negotiation over recognition and entitlements for the ex-combatants, and political authority and legitimacy for party and government leaders. The study interrogates the ways in which this process reflects and contributes to postcolonial Namibian politics, state formation and citizenship. It is based on nine months of fieldwork in 2002, 2003 and 2009 and its main sources include ethnographic observation, life historical interviews with ex-combatants, thematic interviews with politicians and civil servants, grey literature as well as Namibian newspapers and internet sources. The study finds that instead of being a neutral exercise in post-conflict management and peacebuilding, Namibian reintegration has been motivated by more exclusive ideas of the nation and by the special bond between the ruling party and the former liberation movement Swapo and its formerly exiled cadres. This close tie and the characterization of Swapo combatants as heroes who hold a special place in the Namibian narrative of national liberation have repeatedly enabled Swapo ex-combatants to demand recognition, employment, monetary compensation and other benefits. Coupled with this, the relative strength of the Namibian state and economy has made it possible to plan and implement ex-combatant reintegration as a predominantly domestic process without the close involvement of international agencies. Hence, it has been possible to diverge from mainstream disarmament, demobilization and reintegration (DDR) programmes and attempt to solve the ex-combatant question by broad-based public employment. After most ex-combatants were employed in the late 1990s and early 2000s, however, their demands and policy responses shifted towards monetary compensation. The domestic character of Namibian reintegration also made it possible to implement ex-combatant and veteran policies selectively so that former Swapo exiles have gradually been transformed into an officially recognized group of veterans while their former enemies, Namibian fighters of South African surrogate forces, have been sidelined. This process of domestically driven, selective reintegration has multiple broad implications. First, as Namibia has recently emerged from a long period of violent conflict, security concerns and the imperative to control organized violence are clearly visible. The targeting of Swapo ex-combatants in reintegration and their recruitment to the public service, particularly the uniformed services, have relinked their fates with that of the Swapo government, pacifying them and making them useful in consolidating the hold of the regime over the security agencies and the marginal and frontier areas and populations. Indeed, a key reason why the demand politics of the ex-combatants have been so successful is that their interests have been largely congruent with the perceived interests of the political elite. Second, the tendency of Namibian reintegration to entrench involvement in liberationist history as a criterion of full membership in the political community, creating an ever-widening circle of veterans versus others, provides and interesting comparison with struggles over recognition and citizenship elsewhere in Africa which are often framed in terms of language, religion, ethnicity, race or historical origins. The movements thus generated may adopt anti-national stances but they are as likely to seek to reformulate and colonize nationalism itself. Namibian ex-combatant reintegration, on the other hand, exemplifies a situation where nationalism as a supposedly unifying force still has salience but has been appropriated by a particular narrative of belonging. Thus, instead of representing a break from inclusive citizenship towards increasingly codified particular identities that compete within the national space, the Namibian case demonstrates the coexistence of a legal concept of universal national citizenship with a pervasive ideology of national belonging. The latter, however, inherently contradicts the supposed universalism of legal citizenship. The long-term effects of Namibian veteran politics remain to be seen. On the one hand, the aim to reconcile and build a nation, evident in some of the decisions and statements associated with reintegration as well as in Namibian political discourse more generally, is countered by the persistence of pre-independence political logics and divisions, and a concentration of power according to liberationist fault lines. It is not surprising that a militant version of nationalism seems appealing to certain political elites in their bid to justify the current regime and entrench their own positions in it. On the other hand, in the long run the politics of ex-combatants and veterans may also offer a template for more broad-based demands that question entrenched patterns of economic and political privilege, and provoke responses that may lead towards more inclusive citizenship and more broadly legitimate authority. Tässä väitöskirjassa on tutkittu entisiä taistelijoita ja sotaveteraaneja koskevaa politiikkaa Namibiassa, eteläisessä Afrikassa. Entisten taistelijoiden reintegrointi eli sopeuttaminen yhteiskuntaan on nykyään oleellinen osa konfliktien jälkeisten yhteiskuntien jälleenrakennusohjelmia. Työssä ei kuitenkaan tarkastella namibialaista entisiä taistelijoita ja veteraaneja koskevaa politiikkaa ohjelmallisten onnistumisten tai epäonnistumisten näkökulmasta vaan osana laajempia valtionmuodostukseen ja kansalaisuuteen vaikuttavia poliittisia kehityskulkuja. Namibialainen veteraanipolitiikka näyttäytyy monimuotoisena ja pitkäaikaisena neuvotteluna toisaalta entisten taistelijoiden ja veteraanien ja toisaalta hallinnon ja valtapuolueen edustajien välillä, jossa yhteiskuntarauhaa ja poliittisen vallan oikeutusta on ostettu veteraanien tunnustamisella ja heille tarjotuilla eduilla. Työ perustuu yhteensä yhdeksän kuukauden kenttätyöhön Namibiassa vuosina 2002, 2003 ja 2009. Sen pääasiallisina lähteinä on käytetty etnografisia havaintoja, elämäntarinahaastatteluita, teemahaastatteluita, virallisia dokumentteja ja namibialaista mediaa. Työssä päädytään siihen, että entisiä taistelijoita koskeva yhteiskuntapolitiikka Namibiassa ei edusta neutraalia hallinnointia ja rauhanrakennusta, vaan juontuu maan lähihistoriasta kumpuavasta poissulkevasta kansallisuusaatteen tulkinnasta ja vapautusliikkeestä valtapuolueeksi muuntuneen Swapon ja sen maanpaossa eläneiden jäsenten välisestä pitkäaikaisesta erityissuhteesta. Tämä suhde ja Swapon veteraanien asema sankareina puolueen vaalimassa kansallisen vapautuksen tarinassa on yhä uudelleen suonut tälle veteraaniryhmälle mahdollisuuden vaatia tunnustusta, työtä, rahakorvauksia ja muita etuja. Koska Namibian valtion ja talouden suhteellinen vahvuus on tarjonnut maan hallinnolle vapauden suunnitella ja toteuttaa entisiä taistelijoita ja veteraaneja koskevaa politiikkaa verrattain itsenäisesti ja ilman mittavaa ulkopuolista puuttumista, pystyttiin Namibiassa poikkeamaan entisten taistelijoiden sopeuttamisen kansainvälisestä valtavirrasta tarjoamalla heille julkisen sektorin työpaikkoja. Laajamittainen työllistäminen ei kuitenkaan johtanut veteraanien vaatimusten loppumiseen vaan siirsi niiden painopisteen työstä rahakorvauksiin. Namibialaisen veteraanipolitiikan kotoperäisyys on tehnyt mahdolliseksi myös sen valikoivan toteuttamisen; Swapon veteraaneista on vähitellen tullut vakiintunut, merkittävä intressiryhmä kun puolestaan heidän sodanaikaiset vihollisensa eli Etelä-Afrikan miehityshallinnon riveissä taistelleet namibialaiset ovat jääneet enimmäkseen syrjään. Yllämainituilla namibialaisen veteraanipolitiikan toteutustavoilla on merkittäviä seurauksia. Ensinnäkin, Namibian itsenäistyminen pitkän väkivaltaisen konfliktin jälkeen ja siihen liittynyt poliittisen vallan vaihtuminen teki turvallisuudesta ja järjestyksestä keskeisiä kysymyksiä. Kohdistamalla veteraanipolitiikkansa ensisijaisesti omiin maanpaossa eläneisiin jäseniinsä ja työllistämällä heidät julkiselle sektorille, suureksi osaksi poliisiin ja asevoimiin, Swapon hallinto on sitouttanut heitä itseensä. Työllistäminen on myös kanavoinut heidän kykyään järjestäytyneen väkivallan käyttöön sellaisin tavoin, jotka ovat palvelleet valtion ja valtapuolueen vallan vakiinnuttamista alueilla, joilla se on aikaisemmin ollut heikko. Yksi olennainen syy sille, miksi Swapon veteraanit ovat toistuvasti saaneet vaatimuksensa hyväksytyiksi onkin ollut se, että heidän intressinsä ovat usein langenneet yksiin nykyisen poliittisen eliitin intressien kanssa. Toiseksi, namibialaisen veteraanipolitiikan taipumus nostaa osallisuus vapaustaistelun historiaan poliittisen yhteisön täyden tai etuoikeutetun jäsenyyden ehdoksi ja siihen liittyvä veteraaniuden vähittäinen laajeneminen koskemaan yhä useampia ryhmiä tarjoaa mielenkiintoisen vertailukohdan kansalaisuutta koskeviin kamppailuihin muualla Afrikassa. Näiden kamppailujen ilmiasu perustuu usein kielellisiin, uskonnollisiin tai etnisiin erotteluihin tai paikalliseen alkuperään. Niissä saatetaan omaksua sellaisia erityisiä identiteettejä, jotka vastustavat jotain olemassa olevaa kansakunnan mallia, mutta ne saattavat myös pyrkiä määrittelemään kansallisuuden ja kansalaisuuden kriteerit uudelleen. Namibialainen veteraanipolitiikka puolestaan ilmentää tilannetta, jossa ajatuksella yhtenäisestä kansakunnasta on edelleen huomattava poliittinen merkitys, mutta se kansallisen vapautuksen kertomus, jolla tuo kansakunta on historiallisesti kuviteltu tarjoaa tietyille ryhmille toisia paremmat mahdollisuudet käytännössä sitoutua ja kuulua siihen. Toisin sanoen tämä namibialainen tapaus ei edusta yleisen ja yhtäläisen kansalaisuuden rapautumista yhä ahtaammin määriteltyjen erityisten ryhmäidentiteettien kilpakentäksi vaan pikemminkin tilannetta, jossa voimakas kansakuntaan kuulumisen kriteeristö määrittää periaatteessa tasavertaisen, perustuslakiin kirjatun namibialaisuuden käytännön sisältöä ja toteutumista. Namibialaisen veteraanipolitiikan pitkän ajan seuraukset jäävät nähtäviksi. Toisaalta sota-ajalta periytyvät poliittiset ajattelutavat ja ryhmäjaot sekä vallan kasautuminen niiden mukaan rajoittavat mahdollisuuksia rakentaa kansallista sovintoa ja yhtenäistä kansakuntaa. Toisaalta veteraanien painostuspolitiikan onnistuminen saattaa tarjota esikuvan muiden ryhmien vastaaville vaatimuksille ja nykyisten taloudellisten ja poliittisten etuoikeuksien kyseenalaistamiselle, mikä puolestaan voi johtaa esimerkiksi yhteiskuntapoliittisten mekanismien laajempaan kattavuuteen ja siten sellaiseen poliittiseen valtaan, jolla on nykyistä laajempi oikeutus."

Title A name given to the resource The security-development nexus : expressions of Sovereignty and securitization in Southern Africa Description An account of the resource The link between security and development has been rediscovered after 9/11 by a broad range of scholars. Focusing on Southern Africa, the Security-Development Nexus shows that the much debated linkage is by no means a recent invention. Rather, the security/development linkage has been an important element of the state policies of colonial as well as post-colonial regimes during the Cold War, and it seems to be prospering in new configurations under the present wave of democratic transitions. Contributors focus on a variety of contexts from South Africa, Mozambique and Namibia, to Zimbabwe and Democratic Congo; they explore the nexus and our understanding of security and development through the prism of peace-keeping interventions, community policing, human rights, gender, land contests, squatters, nation and state-building, social movements, DDR programmes and the different trajectories democratization has taken in different parts of the region.

Title A name given to the resource Children Tell about Skin Colour – Small Stories from Namibia and Finland Description An account of the resource M.A. Thesis (Education) - "The aim of this research is to find out what kind of perceptions Namibian and Finnish children have on skin color. Previous research indicates that children actively use skin color –related vocabulary and are able to see differences amongst themselves. They are also aware of the power and meanings attached to different skin colors. I hope this research can offer early childhood educators and other people working with children new ideas and practical examples on how to discuss the topic with children. The research question is: what do Namibian and Finnish children tell about skin color? The foundation of the research lays on an interdisciplinary approach, which combines elements from cross-cultural and narrative research as well as childhood research. Two theoretical approaches, post-colonial theory and Critical Race Theory (CRT), form the theoretical framework for this research. The research data consists of 59 short, semistructured interviews of 5-6-year old children from Namibia and Finland. The interviews were partly based on pictures and storytelling. The data was analyzed inductively but theory-guided using modified content analysis. Part of the data was examined closer with a narrative approach to produce re-told small stories which were then examined together with the whole data by the means of dialogical re-telling. The results indicate that children talk about skin color if they are given the opportunity to do it. Finnish children in this research used more color-related vocabulary than Namibian children. Finnish children also linked together skin color, language and nationality, especially Finnishness with whiteness and nonwhiteness with foreign language. Children from both countries expressed colorblind views in their answers. They also talked about skin color -related beauty conceptions. Stories about skin color -based discrimination were told by both Namibians and Finns, but Namibian children were more open than the Finnish children to the possibility to be friends with a child whose skin color was different from their own. Practical conclusions of the research emphasize the educators’ ability to recognize the possible unequal stuctures and discriminating practices of the daycare environment and the courage to talk about skin color -related issues with children. Read-aloud situations, Storycrafting and picture-based conversations would be good starting points for the discussions with the children" Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Laura Ketonen Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available University of Oulu Format The file format, physical medium, or dimensions of the resource PDF Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2015 Language A language of the resource English Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived http://jultika.oulu.fi/files/nbnfioulu-201512082276.pdf beauty Critical Race Theory education Finland Laura Ketonen Oulu Race Schools Students Teachers https://namibiadigitalrepository.com/files/original/abcf9b6d9372ad0eee0c42614e34e961.mpg e673daf7869408c9c0c5239f84839877 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Suomalaisten lähetystyöntekijöiden toiminta ja kokemukset nälänhädän aikana Ambomaalla vuosina 1928–33 Description An account of the resource Trans: "Finnish Missionaries' Activities and Experiences during the Famine in Ovamboland, 1928-33." - Master's Dissertation: University of Eastern Finland - Tutkimustiedote Joensuun yliopisto Yhteiskunta- ja aluetieteiden tiedekunta/Yleinen historia Lisa Nyholm Suomalaisten lähetystyöntekijöiden toiminta ja kokemukset nälänhädän aikana Ambomaalla vuosina 1928–33 Pro gradu –tutkielma, 83 sivua, sekä lähteet ja tutkimuskirjallisuus. Yhteensä 87 sivua. joulukuu 2008 Tutkielman kohteena ovat suomalaisten lähetystyöntekijöiden työn muutokset, sekä heidän kokemuksensa vuosien 1929-1930 nälänhädästä. Tutkielma käsittelee nälänhädän kontekstissa myös lähetystyöntekijöiden suhtautumista paikalliseen väestöön eli amboihin, sekä lähettien suhteita Lounais-Afrikan siirtomaahallintoon. Aikarajaus tutkielmalle on 1928- 1933, sillä tarkoituksena on nimenomaan pyrkiä vertailemaan muutosta ennen, sekä jälkeen koetun kriisin. Lähteinä on käytetty Suomen Lähetysseuran tallettamaa materiaalia. Pääosan lähteistä muodostaa lähettien kokousten pöytäkirjat, jotka sisältävät muun muassa lähettien vuosiraportteja kentältä. Lisäksi on käytetty lähettien henkilökohtaisia kokoelmia eli kirjeenvaihtoa ja omia muistiinpanoja. Suomen Lähetysseuran lähteiden lisäksi tutkielmassa on hyödynnetty Lounais-Afrikan Kansainliitolle toimittamia vuosiraportteja hallituksen toiminnasta mm. Ambomaalla. Nälänhätä mullisti lähetystyöntekijöiden työnkuvan. Perinteisten työmuotojen, kuten koulu-, sairaanhoito- ja saarnatyön, kärsiessä varojen puutteesta ja haastavista olosuhteista, nousi uusia tapoja viedä kristinuskoa eteenpäin. Esimerkiksi hätäaputyömaat toimivat keinona saada lisää kuulijakuntaa kristinuskolle. Kuivuus kiristi lähettien ja paikallisten välejä. Lisääntyneet kirkosta eroamiset ja suomalaisten silmissä ei-kristilliset tavat aiheuttivat katkeruutta ja syytöksiä. Hallituksen suunnalla nälänhätä toimi yhteistyön tiivistäjänä. Lounais-Afrikan hallitus oli aktiivisesti liennyttämässä kriisiä ja lähetit olivat keskeinen yhteistyökumppani kentällä. Avainsanat: Nälänhätä, Suomen Lähetysseura, lähetti, Ambomaa, ambo, hätäaputyö, LounaisAfrikka.

Title A name given to the resource Faszination Landschaft – Landschaftsphotographie in Namibia Description An account of the resource "In der heutigen Vorlesung möchte ich Sie auf eine etwas andere Reise durch namibische Landschaft nehmen, und ich möchte Ihnen dazu ein paar Dinge ins geistige Gepäck mitgeben: 1) Die anfänglich gezeigte Bilderschau hat verdeutlicht, dass namibische Landschaftsdarstellungen und -wahrnehmungen gegenwärtig wie historisch auf unterschiedlichen Medien basieren: Photographie und Malerei (auf Film kann ich heute nicht eingehen). Hinzu kommen literarische Texte, Reiseberichte, Abenteuerromane, usw. (Sie erinnern sich an meinen Hinweis auf Blixen und van der Post). All diese verschiedenen Medien und Genres tragen zu den realen und imaginären Bildern namibischer Landschaften bei. 2) Weder Malerei, Literatur, noch Photographie sind hermetische, in sich abgeschlossene und voneinander getrennte Medien. Vielmehr haben wir es historisch wie zeitgenössisch mit Intermedialitäten zu tun, also mit der gegenseitigen Durchdringung von Malerei, Photographie und Text. Diese Verflechtung und Verdichtung ist mit Blick auf Landschaft etwas ganz entscheidendes. 3) Die eben gezeigte Bilderschau spiegelt den europäischen (oder westlichen) Blick auf namibische Landschaften. Landschaft ist aber ein Genre und Medium, das in allen Gesellschaften und Kulturen vorkommt; es ist bei weitem kein „europäisches Phänomen“. Obschon ich heute in dieser Vorlesung nicht näher darauf eingehen kann, sind im südlichen Afrika afrikanische Perspektiven, Wahrnehmungen und Darstellungen von Landschaft etwas ganz zentrales, das sich wiederum in unterschiedlichen Medien artikuliert. Dag Henrichsen hat zum Beispiel auf die Bedeutung mündlicher Tradierungen, von Preisliedern und topographischem Wissen hingewiesen, die in Zentralnamibia im 19. Jahrhundert zur Formulierung historisch geschichteter Topologien führen: Narrative also, die Landschaft strukturieren, imaginieren und bei Bedarf sowohl ideologischen wie politischen Visionen zudienen können. 4) In der rezenteren theoretischen Diskussion über Landschaft hat sich eine These des bereits erwähnten Kulturwissenschaftler W.J.T. Mitchell durchgesetzt, dass nämlich Landschaft weniger als Genre zu verstehen, sondern vielmehr als Medium zu betrachten ist, also als ein System kultureller Codes, symbolischer Formen und Zeichen, mittels derer der Mensch seiner Umwelt Bedeutung zuschreibt und mittels derer er diese Bedeutung darzustellen und zu vermitteln sucht. Landschaft, so fasst es Mitchell prägnant zusammen ist also kein Substantiv, keine Sache, sondern ein Verb, etwas das man macht."

Title A name given to the resource The Elephant Shooting: Inconsistencies of Colonial Law and Indirect Rule in Kaoko (North-Western Namibia) in the 1920s and 1930s. Description An account of the resource This paper is concerned with the emergence and making of a criminal case in Kaoko between 1929 and 19357 and its bearing on the development of colonial native administration in the territory. I first heard of the ‘elephant case’ in interviews I did with residents of Kaoko Otavi and nearby villages in 2001/2002. The elephant shooting and the alleged murder of Petrus Kakuyu had not been an issue in my research in the beginning, but had been actively raised by some of the men I interviewed, as an instance of significant political conflict. Only after recording their accounts, I went to the National Archives in Windhoek to look for archival information on the case and was immediately captured by the amount of documentation the South African administration had produced in the course of their inquiry. What was particular, both with contemporary oral information and with the archival sources, was a strong ambivalence and contradiction, the fragmented and inconsistent nature of knowledge about what had happened and who had been involved in the case. As a matter of fact, the administration’s search for evidence remained unsuccessful and neither the remains of the elephant nor Petrus Kakuyu were ever found. Nevertheless, there was a case, a huge number of witnesses were interrogated and people were prosecuted, charged and sent to prison. Beyond this, the ‘elephant case’ and its aftermath remained an issue of vivid debate among residents of Kaoko Otavi and one of the central tropes in male oral accounts of the region’s past.

Title A name given to the resource The Witbooi Description An account of the resource "Shortly after the ecstatic victory celebration in Windhoek came the first bad news. Hendrik Witbooi had by no means fled precipitately with his warriors, but had gathered them together, and secretly followed the withdrawing Germans. He succeeded in taking 40 horses from the Germans' baggage train. The Germans now had only 70 horses available; in a country where the horse was the fastest means of travel, this was a difficult situation. Curt von Francois therefore immediately opened negotiations with a German dealer and bought from him 120 good horses, which had however the great disadvantage that they were far away on pasture in the savannah. The very next day one of the herdsmen appeared in Windhoek and reported that the Witbooi had stolen these horses too. Thus only a few days after the attack on Hoornkrans, Hendrik Witbooi regained the initiative. He now had 300 horses compared with the 70 of the German troops. Then 200 Witbooi fighters actually appeared before the gates of Windhoek and involved the German troops in a typical engagement: they made a lightning strike from several sides, and as soon as the German troops started shooting at them they turned away waving their hats - mocking the German soldiers - and rode off. Von Francois undertook some incursions into the country, but his soldiers did not know the terrain. They did not know where the watering-places were. So they moved laboriously with their ox-wagons through the region - and they failed to discover the Witbooi, who were fast and mobile, who knew their land thoroughly, and who did not mind hunger and thirst. So von Francois sat most of the time in Windhoek and waited longingly for the cannon that he had ordered from Germany. In this way control over the country passed to Hendrik Witbooi. A German trader who wanted to drive 500 oxen to the south applied not to von Francois for protection but to Hendrik Witbooi. He said later: 'Witbooi knew very well that we were Germans, with whom he was at war, and that he could capture the oxen without firing a shot, but we also knew that Hendrik would keep his word, and we were not disappointed. In August 1893 the Witbooi made a great coup. A large transport was on its way from Walvis Bay to Windhoek, where it was awaited with longing. More than 20 teams of oxen fell into the hands of the guerrilla fighters. Windhoek ran into serious supply difficulties. The Germans seethed with powerless rage. Hendrik Witbooi's success had a mobilizing effect upon the Nama in the country. People moved from all sides to join him. When he had to leave Hoornkrans, he had some 200 men capable of carrying weapons. Six months later they had increased to 600, with 400 guns and 300 horses. Now Hendrik Witbooi was the real master in Great Namaqualand. The German farmer Hermann had to learn this too. On the instruction of the German Colonial Society for South West Africa, Hermann had built up a model farm at Kubub in the south of the country. Hendrik Witbooi sent a messenger to tell him that he did not have the Witbooi permission to farm there. Hermann considered this an insult, and turned to von François for protection. He was not in a position to protect this farm, which lay many hundreds of kilometres from Windhoek. Shortly afterwards Hendrik Witbooi attacked the farm. Breeding animals to a value of 80,000 marks - an enormous amount then - fell into his hands. He immediately bartered them with traders for guns and ammunition.

Title A name given to the resource Good Magic in Ovambo Description An account of the resource History plays an increasingly important role in anthropological discussions. Historical sources for the cultures and societies traditionally studies by anthropologists are, however, scant. This not only affects anthropological research but it greatly affects identity building processes int eh independent nations of the Third World. Most of the early descriptions of the different cultures have been produced by travellers, traders and missionaries. The value of these sources has been recognized for a long time among the experts, but most of the collections have been buried in the archives of the former colonial powers, Finnish missionaries have worked in Namibia for more than a hundred years. From the very beginning they accumulated information about the local cultures. Maija Hiltunen has made a great contribution in this volume to the study of the area by publishing her account of magical practices. She thus continues the work begun earlier with Witchcraft and Sorcery in Ovambo, 1986. Both works make vast amounts of information collected by Finnish missionaries accessible not only to researchers able to read Finnish but also to a wider audience.
