- Description: In post-development theory, ubuntu is often cited as an example of an “alternative to development”. This article investigates whether ubuntu can play this role and what to think of the demand for alternatives to development in general. In order to do this, the paper fi rst deals with central aspects of postdevelopment theory and the debate about ubuntu. Although the concept fi ts well into a post-development perspective, the attempts to contrast ubuntu with Western ideas and ways of life are often fueled by the desire to rekindle an original, pre-colonial, authentic African philosophy. Yet discourses on Africa are always embedded in Western discourses, so this opposition reproduces precisely those dichotomies it aims to fi ght. More generally, this also holds true for the idea of “alternatives to development”, which postulate an essential opposition to “development”. This, however, denies claims for equal rights and participation at the root of demands for “development”. The struggle for these claims cannot be fought beyond the existing global order. Instead of engaging in romanticizing projections about an Africa beyond “development”, people’s views and needs should be taken as the starting point for the struggle against injustice and inequality.

- Description: Samuel Beckett’s last few plays were all written by invitation and performed before specialist audiences who were familiar with his work and knew what they could expect from him. Arthur Rose quite rightly points out that such expectation is constitutive in nature, that these audiences approached the plays with the baggage of a “preconceived Beckett” (112–13). He is also right when he argues that Beckett, in the plays in question, evinces an awareness of his reification as an author and of the authority of reputation.

On Their Own: women, Urbanization, and the Right to the City in South Africa, by Allison GoebelUbuntu und die Post-Development-Debatte. A review

- Description: Allison Goebel's book gives much-needed attention to the experiences of women in South African cities. While there is plenty of literature on the urban experience in South Africa, such literature does not often give much attention to gender. Goebel's book draws on the experiences of poorer women living in informal and township areas in the Msunduzi Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal. Goebel has conducted extensive fieldwork in the area and uses this fieldwork to provide the reader with a sense of South African women's experiences of urban living.

- Description: From introduction: We have a bumper issue, with eleven research papers and one letter to the editor. 2016 was a difficult year for academia in South Africa with highly disruptive protests. 2017 was mostly better from that point of view, though the protest movement has not completely gone away. This issue contains some papers that were submissions to special issues that were not ready in time and hence to some extent is a catch-up issue. In previous issues this year, 29(1), published in July, contained nine research papers, of which five were extended papers from the 2016 SAICSIT annual conference. There was also a special issue on ICT in Education published in October, 29(2), which had five research papers. Two papers from the ICT in Education special issue spilled over to this issue. Overall, we have published 25 research papers this year, compared with four in 2016, fourteen in 2015 and nineteen in 2014. Numbers are therefore looking healthy again; I hope the underlying causes of protest are addressed so we do not have to endure another year like 2016. In the remainder of this editorial, I give an update on the effects of indexing in Scopus, list papers in this issue and end with changes in the editorial team.

One source of gender cues is fiction written for and consumed by children. The characters encountered in the pages of a popular book constitute the stuff of identity building and may become role models for thousands of young and impressionable readers.

Book Review: Losing the Plot. Crime, reality and fiction in postapartheid writing

- Description: In this wide-ranging and impressive ac¬count of postapartheid writing, De Kock describes the “dizzingly heterogeneous corpus” (1) of South African literature after apartheid with the aim of describing its distinctive features and complexity. The methodology is straightforward. De Kock has chosen to read particular liter¬ary works in order to identify broader ideas and trends. To contextualise the study, De Kock deploys the key, perva¬sive notion of “transition”. The notion is variously defined as a “transformative shift from one ‘state’ to another” (2), a “popular mythology” in the “collective consciousness” (3), and as containing a counter-discourse of disillusionment or disorientation, which De Kock refers to as “‘plot loss’” (3). This “plot loss” becomes a central trope in the book to express the social and political chaos of the country, evident in various criminal manifestations of neo-colonialism such as neo-liberal economic policies, new forms of racism, and corruption.

- Description: As a student uprising tears across the fabric of post-apartheid campuses, the class of 2015 conjures Black Consciousness to articulate the pervasive epistemic assaults they endure daily at the ivory tower. As if time stood still, as though 1976 never left the scene, the philosophy of Black Consciousness is no lurking spectre; but it is an indispensable affirmation, a restorative life force that gives elaboration and credence to the grammar of black suffering. This is, therefore, a timely book.

- Description: The objective of this paper is to assess the current state of Container-Based Emulator implementations on the Linux platform. Through a nar-rative overview, a selection of open source Container-Based emulators are analysed to collect information regarding the technologies used to construct them to assess the current state of this emerging technology. Container-Based Emulators allows the creation of small emulated net-works on commodity hardware through the use of kernel level virtualiza-tion techniques, also referred to as containerisation. Container-Based Emulators act as a management tool to control containers and the ap-plications that execute within them. The ability of Container Based Emu-lators to create repeatable and controllable test networks makes it ideal for use as training and experimentation tools in the information security and network management fields. Due to the ease of use and low hard-ware requirements, the tools present a low cost alternative to other forms of network experimentation platforms. Through a review of cur-rent literature and source code, the current state of Container-Based Emulators is assessed.

- Description: Banele Khoza grapples with short sharp emotions in his solo exhibition at the Pretoria Art Museum. Entitled ‘Temporary Feelings,’ the exhibition is very personal, yet critically engaging with issues of relationships, communication, social media and sexuality. He brings his vulnerability into the gallery space: what it means to be lonely, even though surrounded by people.

The limitations of current health literacy measures for use in developing countries:
- Authors: Dowse, Roslind

- Description: Health literacy measures have largely emanated from developed countries, reflecting the characteristics of their economies, populations, and health systems. In contrast, it is disconcerting that health literacy appears to be so under-researched in developing countries (DCs), despite the likelihood of inadequate health literacy being endemic. In this commentary, I highlight some challenges when using existing health literacy measures in DCs and conclude with a summary of considerations when using/developing a tool for these populations.

Applied theatre research. Radical departures

- Description: This book is part of the Applied Theatre series, which presents scholarship on different foci around applied theatre practices. The seven case studies of how applied theatre practices can be framed as research methodologies are practically and theoretically useful for students, practitioners and scholars engaged in community-driven, socially engaged theatre work. The book argues a particular approach to arts based research which offers alternatives to traditional research tools such as ‘the interview’ (which often result in participants giving a researcher what they think they want to know or hear) and provides a range of aesthetic research methodologies that aim to harness the language of theatre and performance as an empowering and resistant research tool.

- Description: There have been several attempts to develop a wetland classification for South Africa, with merit in each, but a system that satisfies the needs of a wide range of professionals has been elusive. This is partly to be expected since classification systems are often user-specific. Nevertheless, and at last, the authors of Classification System for Wetlands and Other Aquatic Ecosystems in South Africa. User Manual: Inland Systems (SANBI Biodiversity Series 22) have developed a robust and comprehensive wetland classification system for South Africa that likely will have broad appeal and be widely used. Working for Wetlands, the Water Research Commission (WRC) and SANBI provided considerable support for the development of this system and there was expert input from a wide range of stakeholders.
