Abstract

Global technological advancements in transport and communication have led to a compression of time and space, but some populations are confined to their geographic regions. This paper uses a qualitative approach to conduct an intersectional analysis of music by Zimbabwean migrants in Johannesburg South Africa to explore how migrants respond to this phenomenon. It presents the ways in which the migrants construct identities and spatial imaginaries as a form of claiming space in Johannesburg and globally. Xenophobia in South Africa and the migrants’ memories of the Zimbabwean State violence necessitates the narration of identities and spatial imaginaries where the migrants can claim belonging. The paper argues that even where the identities imagined do not carry currency in the contemporary world. They work to critique the current racialised global hierarchy that does not include the migrants in its power geometry.

要求空间:约翰内斯堡恩德贝勒津巴布韦移民音乐的个案研究

全球运输和通讯技术的进步导致了时间和空间的压缩，但一些人口被限制在他们的地理区域内。本文采用定性方法对南非约翰内斯堡津巴布韦移民的音乐进行交叉分析，以探讨移民如何应对这一现象。它展示了移民在约翰内斯堡和全球范围内构建身份和空间想象的方式，作为一种要求空间的形式。南非的仇外心理和移民对津巴布韦国家暴力的记忆需要对身份和空间想象的叙述，移民可以在其中宣称属于自己。本文认为，即使是想象中的身份在当代世界也不流行。他们致力于批评当前种族化的全球等级制度，这种制度没有将移民纳入其权力几何中。
