Identity, belonging and ecological crisis in South African speculative fiction

This paper uses some early maps of South Africa to raise a number of historical and theoretical issues-about power over nature, about representations of travel, of the role of hunting and safari in the European consciousness, and about the use of multi-media in representations of travel and nature. In doing this, the paper addresses issues raised by historians of animals in maps (George, 1969, Stone and Aberdeen University African Studies Group, 1988) and by post-colonial critics of cartographic traditions, particularly those focusing on the links between cartography and power (Bell et al. 1995; Stone and Aberdeen University African Studies Group 1988; Stone and Aberdeen University African Studies Group 1994; Stone 1995; Carruthers 2003; Penn 1993; Gregory 1994). As Jane Carruthers suggests, we have important reasons to examine the origins of our environmental cartographic tradition:

The Kruger Park and Jacob Dlamini’s Safari Nation: A Social History of the Kruger National Park

Jean-Jacques Rousseau, drawing on accounts of the Cape, shaped arguments and discourses about animal and human nature in the nascent disciplines of ethology and anthropology. This paper examines how the discourses of ethology and anthropology mesh and separate in South Africa by looking at two of the most important early South African writers on primates: late eighteenth century French explorer Francois Levaillant and early twentieth century Afrikaans writer and naturalist Eugene Marais. It examines their own attitudes towards, and their epistemological stance in, our unsettled primate universe. Levaillant and Marais, in writing of captive and wild baboons, find they are writing more generally of the cost of domestication, of the loss of some original power. In the case of Levaillant, the stance he produces – that of the intermediary between nature and civilization – forms part of his highly influential contribution both to anthropology and to the developing genre of safari or wildlife documentary writing. For Marais, the temptation to crude racial thinking seems to have been counteracted, to some extent, by his own addiction and self-awareness of characteristics he shared with other races and other primates.
