- Description: In this paper I assume the relevance of Foucauldian insights for conducting socio-cultural critique and I argue the significance of genealogical work in relation to understanding the present. Thus, I seek both to establish what could constitute a genealogical investigation and to illustrate this by describing and discussing a study, undertaken within a genealogical frame, into literacy practices within a specifically South African context. I investigated the differing schooled literacies in KwaZulu-Natal province in South Africa over three decades along the language lines of Afrikaans, English and Zulu. The findings propose that the differing sets of literacy practices validate different subjects – and that they are implicated in constructing dis/advantage.
