The Namibian Genocide: Reframing the Conflict to Explore Intercultural Connectivity, Inclusiveness and Accurate Memorialization
No full textThis study examines how technology used by the German colonizers of South West Africa affected native peoples during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. More specifically, the research shows how German attitudes and misclassification of native people, of not only the Herero and Nama tribes, but multiple tribes throughout Namibia, affected the levels of violence shown toward all the indigenous tribes, and not just the two listed in the official documentation of the 1904-1908 genocide. German theories about race, power, and civilization affected the actions of the colonizers toward each of the indigenous groups of people in what is today Namibia. Essential to the reframing of the German genocide of the Herero and Nama people to a broader application to include the San, Ovambo, and Damara tribes are the interviews with perpetrators, court reports, victim testimonies, and archival photographs from the National Achieves of Namibia. The author applies the framework of Michel Foucault’s bio-power and Lonnie Athens’ violentization theory to show the effects of a German imperial organization directing missionaries, settlers, and military in methods to control native tribes. The ensuing violence linked to the takeover of native lands, displacement of the people, and assignment to forced labor camps, with shackling, torture and mutilation accompanied by deaths of the innocent. This form of exploitation was completed under the guise of scientific racism, and was used to exploit precious minerals from the area. This study contributes new insights into the experiences of Namibian people subject to technologies applied by violence to attain power. Finally, the lasting legacy of the genocide is presented in the form of memorialization. Not only does the research show that different tribes have been removed from the previous stories of the genocide, but in a literal sense, the names of the indigenous casualties have been removed from the historical record
The Nation-State & Biopower: Impacts on Individuals, Empowerment and the Limitations of Liberty
No full textThe emergence of radical biotechnological advances in food, science and medicine fundamentally challenge the relationships among individual humans, science and governance in the Western liberal democratic Nation-State. Both in concept and in practice, the post-Westhpalian Nation-State is poorly situated to deal with the scope, pace, diversity and linkages between individual choice, societal mores and norms, scientific potential, and the requirements of effective governing. The purpose of this research was to identify possible convergences – and collisions – of governmentality, medical science, and individual agency, choice and liberty in the liberal democratic Nation-State. While much has been written on each of these three fields independently, few authors have grappled with the complex interplay of these three. This is a qualitative study with extensive research in the fields of philosophy, science, and theories of government. The findings indicate there is a Medical Renaissance in progress that has significant impact not only on individual lives, but in the living of life as part of societies and structures. This study advances our understanding of effective governance in an era of rapid biotechnological change and counters the belief of some that the Nation-State is an archaic construct. The findings provide insights into the challenges and opportunities for a new framework of governance. There is fertile ground for further research – this dissertation aims to illuminate the questions to guide that discourse of discovery
