Abstract

ABSTRACT Some Marxist political economists use accumulation by dispossession to explain processes in which natural resources are enclosed and their users dispossessed through extra-economic means. However, accumulation by dispossession takes an overly omnibus and materialistic approach in trying to cover a wide range of global processes. This article therefore distils accumulation by dispossession’s three central features of coercion, non-voluntary consent and corruption to enhance its local explanatory power of material and incorporeal dispossession in post-apartheid South Africa. This approach magnifies how a triumvirate of traditional leaders, state officials and Ivanplats platinum mine dispossessed people living on customary land in Limpopo, with detrimental effects.

后种族隔离时代南非的采矿、资本和剥夺

摘要一些马克思主义政治经济学家用剥夺积累来解释自然资源被封闭和使用者通过额外经济手段被剥夺的过程。然而，剥夺积累采取了一种过于综合和物质主义的方法，试图涵盖广泛的全球进程。因此，本文提炼了剥夺积累的三个核心特征，即胁迫、非自愿同意和腐败，以增强其在种族隔离后的南非对物质和非物质剥夺的地方解释力。这种方法放大了传统领导人、国家官员和伊万普拉茨铂矿三巨头如何剥夺生活在林波波传统土地上的人们的权利，并产生了有害影响。
