- W4229503514 abstract "Images of gender and sexuality in Southern Africa are important markers of gender relations, but they also reflect prevailing historical, political, and cultural circumstances. In this entry, they are examined in three contexts: (1) symbolizing the “primeval” or “original” sexuality of all humanity; (2) symbolizing Africans as different and potentially promiscuous sexual others; and (3) using bodies and body imagery as powerful symbols for social and cultural purposes. The first context is centered on the imagery of the Bushmen or San as members of “an original affluent society,” as well as on the story of Sara Baartman, who was exhibited in London and Paris in the early nineteenth century as “The Hottentot Venus.” The second aspect concentrates on colonial representations, primarily of African women, and the whole mythologizing of “native” (African) alleged promiscuity by colonial photographers. The third aspect is reflected in the representations dealing with health and social issues, especially when it comes to the prevalence of HIV infection. Dealing with sexual violence is also crucial, as it represents one of the more obvious forms of gender inequality. Representations in the media tend to objectify and essentialize African women, such as in the Land Rover advertisement in 2000." @default.
