- W3142775425 abstract "This study, supervised by Prof. Michaela Pelican and supported with a research grant of the Thematic Network 'Remapping the Global South - Teaching, Researching, Exchanging' of the Global South Studies Center Cologne (GSSC), addresses the 2018-2019 water in Cape Town. It foregrounds the experiences of Capetonians whose voices, so far, have received little attention in the discourse surrounding the water crisis: that is, Capetonians living in the townships who, irrespective of the crisis, have been living with limited water supplies and inadequate urban infrastructure. Teresa Cremer investigates how the political framing of the acute water shortage as a crisis was perceived by different actors and social groups, and which new scopes of action and social practices it has engendered. She argues that while the portrayal of water scarcity as a crisis and the measures of the city administration primarily reflect the interests and perspectives of Cape Town's privileged middle and upper classes, the needs of poorer and marginalized residents are hardly heard. At the same time, she shows that the discourse not only reinforces existing inequalities, but also opens up new spaces for creativity and action. In her ethnography, Cremer focuses on the public water collection point in the Newlands neighbourhood and vividly describes how it is valued and made use of by different groups of actors as a site of dense social interaction and creative income-generating strategies. The end of the water in 2019 and the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in the spring of 2020 led to the closing of the Newlands water collection point. Yet Cremer's very well-informed and lucidly argued analysis is instructive also in view of other situations, such as the current COVID-19 pandemic. The study demonstrates the strength of empirically grounded, ethnographic research to critically question discourses, and recognize alternative perspectives and the emergence of new productive spaces." @default.
