This talk will examine the complex social intersections between cultural rights and individual rights in post-Apartheid South Africa, using intergenerational relations between elders and youth as a primary focus. The lecture will look at the ways in which, by making provision for both individual rights and cultural rights, the 1996 Constitution of post-Apartheid South Africa left women and children in particular squarely in both categories. This resulted in several complex cultural orientations to rights, meaning for example that women could only argue themselves out of one category at the expense of young people and vice versa. |
