Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

The Seminar wants to look into the possible benefits of Conservation for local communities. Ecotourism and Ethnotourism (cultural marketing) will attract special attention. The various papers should focus on concrete examples in Southern Africa, particularly Conservancies in Namibia and the TFC of Isimangaliso in South Africa. Partcipants will be able to use research material from both cases. Other topics are also possible (as for instance the largest conservation area of KAZA (the Kavango Zambezi TF Park).

Art der Leistungskontrolle und erlaubte Hilfsmittel

Papers shall be presented in the Seminar with a length of 15 pages.

Mindestanforderungen und Beurteilungsmaßstab

Conservation once thought of as a self-evident category has proven a quite slippery paradigm when actually applied in the political agenda of social change. Conflicting views of various stakeholders on conservation range from benign concepts of an ultimate global saviour to a neo-colonial land-grabber. Arguably, far-ranging plans for Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs) have further contributed to a ‘bewildering kaleidoscope’ of multi-legal fields and intertwined legalities within and across national boundaries (cf. F. von Benda-Beckmann 2001: 129).
