The aim of this study was to capture the experiences of WWD in a rural setting. Inspired by critical feminist disability theory, this study conducted semi-structured interviews with 25 WWD (in particular, women with visual and physical impairments) in Mberengwa. Their stories demonstrate limited access to education, employment, information, land, and other productive resources. All of the research participants grappled with inaccessible public transport and buildings. Accessing grants, land, farming knowledge, funding for trade, water and toilet facilities became daily struggles. Contextual, socioeconomic, historic, and gendered power relations intersect to heavily limit their functioning. None of the research participants embraced victimhood, but instead resisted pity. Their push-back against abjection took various forms, such as attempting to earn an income, achieving reproductive aspirations, or working the land. Such actions, however, were often met with negative perceptions that equate disability with inability. Based on the findings, it is recommended that institutions responsible for WWD be restructured and better financed. In addition, the study calls for improved mainstreaming, advocacy and awareness-raising about the rights of WWD in rural Zimbabwe.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"52 1","pages":"84 - 100"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85233104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Results from the structured survey indicated that students’ race and levels of religiosity were not associated with the extent to which they viewed metrosexuality as acceptable. By contrast, in relation to sex/gender, female students exhibited more accepting attitudes towards metrosexuality than their male counterparts. Furthermore, the more importance students ascribed to media portrayals of orthodox masculinity as well as to primary gender-role socialisation, the less likely they were to accept metrosexuality. The study contributes to current research on masculinities by investigating metrosexuality as the primary theme, underscoring the similarities between South African and Anglo-American theorisation on the topic, foregrounding the perceptions of millennials in conceptualising and understanding contemporary masculinity, and problematising notions that South African students ascribe to homogenous or monolithic views of masculinity.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"11 1","pages":"20 - 39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91210349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper offers lessons for the current conjuncture by exploring radical democracy and educational experiments in two other contexts: Brazil, as a point of close comparison, and Rojava (northern Syria), as a point for dissimilar comparison but which offers a “real utopia”. The Brazilian student movement (2015–16) involved several waves of mass school occupations in the “student spring” (primavera secundarista), with students demanding free, quality public education and, within the occupations, experimenting with democratic, dialogical, caring educational spaces. The Revolution in Rojava, emerging in 2012 and continuing to date, offers an alternative model of social organisation guided by women’s liberation, ecological harmony, and “Democratic Confederalism”, a form of anti-capitalist radical democracy. It has provided fertile ground for a profoundly different education system from the statist, authoritarian models previously imposed in the region. This paper draws out several prominent themes from each context, drawing these into conversation with the contemporary South African context. First, the movements demonstrate the pedagogical importance of language and culture, history and social dynamics, the decommodification of education, feminism and ecology. Second, they highlight the political importance of education for self-organisation in relation to broader processes of social transformation.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"1 1","pages":"131 - 151"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88630276","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Judging by what we are beginning to see around the globe, the indication is that we are slowly entering what we would call a “post-pandemic” phase. Although not certain what the future looks like after emerging from one of the worst experiences that we have gone through for the past two years, it seems we are living in a tumultuous society. Locally, the deadly floods in KwaZulu-Natal, the growing incidences of anti-immigrant vigilantism, and the constant loadshedding episodes are but a few indicators. Globally, the war in Ukraine serves to illustrate the same. Given all these, the scope of interrogation and analysis for our journal (SARS) remains wide but honing down to some of these issues that our society continues to grapple with. For this, we remain eternally grateful to our contributors and reviewers, who are not merely spectators of the many social, political and economic processes unfolding within our society. It is clear these processes resemble not only a “tumultuous society” but “a society in transition,”. And making sense of this “society” requires deep methodological and theoretical reflections. To decipher what these changes/processes mean, and their significance, innovative sociological theory and methodology are required. Our journal has over the years been instrumental in shaping public discourse on several issues in South Africa and beyond. With every issue that we publish, we seek to continue the tradition of sharing highly engaging (both theoretical and empirical) scholarship. For instance, in one of our last volumes (vol. 51, issue 3–4), we published detailed empirical work on homelessness in South Africa, and the Covid-19 pandemic. This was followed by our volume 52 (issue 1) which also contained fascinating articles.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"31 1","pages":"1 - 3"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80368457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This followed the government’s implementation of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, which enforced strict regulations including closure of businesses, restricted movement, banning of informal trade and a wide range of social activities to curb the spread of the virus. While these actions were necessary to deal with the imminent threat of the pandemic, they had unintended effects on the livelihood of vulnerable groups such as migrant women who rely on informal work such as street vending, hair dressing and other menial jobs to fend for their families. Beyond disruption of their mode of economic survival, this was compounded by migrants’ non-eligibility to access social grants or benefits from the Disaster Relief Fund. This yielded unprecedented psychosocial uncertainties with increased potential for distress resulting from food insecurity, unstable accommodation, and isolation due to closed borders. Qualitative data were collected based on snowballed in-depth interviews with migrant women to saturation levels. Inference to the social presence and media richness theories was made to explicate the relationship between social media utilities and participants’ actions. The findings reveal that, migrant women relied on social media networking, particularly WhatsApp to receive updates on lockdown regulations; facilitate psychosocial support and empathise with fellow migrants elsewhere in the country; share survival strategies, and mobilise donations to mitigate the socioeconomic impact of the lockdown among migrant women in the province.","PeriodicalId":44730,"journal":{"name":"South African Review of Sociology","volume":"52 1","pages":"4 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81919511","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
