In an unusual merging of academic and literary practices this volume attempts to identify a form (or forms) that is congenial with the subject of interrogation: the world in transition with South Africa as the main focal point. Approaching anthropology from the position of the literary writer Oscar Hemer here takes the reader through a kaleidoscope of perspectives-a stream-of-consciousness understanding of writing the city of Johannesburg embedding ethnography in subjectivity a challenge to binaries both temporal and gendered in examining the growth of the IT metropolis Bangalore to a combusting mega-city an auto-ethnographic interweaving of fictional reportage with a close-reading of anthropological and philosophical treatises including Mary Douglas's Purity and Danger and Edouard Glissant's Poetics of Relation among others-to interrogate themes of transition identity purity and variation in the Western Cape. As the form transcends boundaries to create a methodological hybrid creolization comes to the fore as a theoretical concept and as cultural practice.
