“…Many researchers have already developed context-specific and power-sensitive studies that go to justify the relevance of the proposed methodologies. For instance, Jackson (2013) and Porsanger (2004) have conducted studies from indigenous perspective, whereas Chilisa (2005) and Boswell and O’Kane (2011) have applied postcolonial methodologies. Jackson (2013) examined indigenous research within international and cross-cultural management studies with particular reference to sub-Saharan Africa.…”

“…The article reveals the interventions to prevent the spread of HIV/AIDS in Botswana, legitimized by Western research knowledge and framework, and had alienated the people from the struggle to prevent the spread of the virus. On their part, Boswell and O’Kane (2011) used postcolonial analysis to assess heritage and tourism management in Africa and revealed that heritage management was still influenced by legacies of postcolonial and post-apartheid.…”

Still the Dark Continent? Towards contextual methodological approaches to management development research in foreign multinational firms in Africa

Following the widespread implementation of liberalization policies across the continent and resultant 'subsidiarity' of the industrial sectors by mostly Western multinational firms, management development in Africa has been dominated by Western approaches. The alternative is contextualization of research approaches that take into account the cultural and societal values of the people being researched. The article therefore proposes two methodologies believed to be contextual to management development research in multinational firms in Africa. These include indigenous methodology and postcolonial methodology. The two methodologies are complemented by appropriate data collection and analytical approaches, which have also been suggested. Data for this conceptual paper were mainly from review of extant popular and academic literature. The article concludes that applying the proposed methodologies could help tackle the neocolonial influence in African industries to decolonize indigenous people from Western hegemony and management development approaches that do not tackle the development problems of indigenous managers. Theoretically, the article contributes to literature on postcolonial management and organizational studies and, practically, contributes to alternative and appropriate approach to research into managerial skills development problems in Africa.

“…In that sense, the article considers memory as a phenomenon of the present rather than the past (cf. Boswell and O'Kane, 2011; Brown, 2013), as well as one of spatial and temporal continuity. The contemporary mnemonic re‐interpretation of history gives insights into the present views of migrant labour and the uses of memory as a political instrument (cf.…”

Curating (im)mobility: Peri‐urban agency in the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum

This article focuses on the ways in which museums perform peri‐urban agency in urban peripheries. The latter are defined as meeting points between rural and urban economies and zones of transition and precariousness, shaped by intersectional inequalities. In South Africa, the experiences of migrant workers include governed (im)mobilities, living on the urban periphery and seeing the continuation of colonial practices in a neoliberal economic environment. A mnemonic reading of the ways in which migrant labour is interpreted and curated by the Lwandle Migrant Labour Museum near Cape Town reflects the extent to which the control of mobilities continues to operate in the country's post‐apartheid neoliberal system. The manner in which the museum curates the experience of migrant‐labour casts light on the performance of a particular form of peri‐urban agency as a way of interpreting the experience of migrant labour beyond Cape Town's city centre. Such agency is not free from contestation but instead an articulation of mnemonic agency in a post‐colonial political setting.

“…Kültürel miras, "somut kültürel miras ve somut olmayan kültürel miras" olarak iki grupta toplanmaktadır (McKercher vd., 2005;Kültür Turizm Bakanlığı, 2009;Birleşmiş Milletler Eğitim, Bilim ve Kültür Örgütü, 2011;Rodzi vd., 2013). Somut kültürel miras, anıtlar, yapı grupları ve sit alanlarından oluşmaktadır (UNESCO, 1972;Boswell ve O'Kane, 2011;Skounti, 2011). Somut olmayan kültürel miras ise, belli bir toplumda geleneğe bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan geleneksel, popüler veya halk kültürünün, başka bir ifadeyle kolektif eserlerin bütün şekillerini kapsayan bir terimdir.…”
