Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pastels Under the Southern Cross It an error to suppose that a person who has only spent a few months in a country must necessarily have nothing to say about it which is worth saying. Once people put too much faith in the Man who had been there. Now, if we wish to pass for intelligent, we sometimes fall into the Opposite error. For it may often happen that though the inhabitant knows most, the visitor sees most. He sees those broad outlines which eyes necessarily riveted on details, end by losing. And a visitor is there to see. In places where we live our energies are largely spent in doing. A visitor is freed from cares and occupations. All his mental energies, all such knowledge of life and powers of observation as he may have acquired elsewhere, are focused on the country and people with which he is making acquaintance. Although myself an Oxonian of long standing, I have often found articles on Oxford by foreigners who had spent but a short time there, illuminating, even when many of their facts were wrong or misapprehended. As to scenery, without doubt those characteristics of a landscape which differentiate it from other landscapes are more obvious to strange than to accustomed eyes, however much these latter may miss of its intimate secrets. There are not a great many far-off places in the world which are worth visiting solely for the beauty of their scenery. To begin with, the sense of beauty may be feasted high within the.

Download or read book Lifebuoy Men Lux Women written by Timothy Burke and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do people come to need products they never even knew they wanted? How, for example, did indigenous Zimbabweans of the 1940s begin to believe that they required Lifebuoy soap? Offering a glimpse into the intimate workings of modern colonialism and global capitalism, Timothy Burke takes up these questions in Lifebuoy Men, Lux Women, a study of post-World War II commodity culture in Zimbabwe. With particular attention to cosmetic products and the contrast between colonial and pre-colonial ideas of cleanliness, Burke examines the role played by commodity culture, changing patterns of consumption, and the spread of advertising in the making of modern Zimbabwe. His work combines history, anthropology, and political economy to show how the development of commodification in the region relates to the social history of hygiene. Within this framework, and drawing on a wide variety of historical sources, Burke explores dense interactions between commodity culture and embodied aspects of race, gender, sexuality, domesticity, health, and aesthetics in a colonial society. Rather than viewing the production of needs simply as an imposition from above, Lifebuoy Men, Lux Women shows what heterogeneous and complex processes, involving the aims and histories of both colonizers and colonized, produced these changes in Zimbabwean society. Integrating political economy, cultural studies, and a wide range of the social sciences, Lifebuoy Men, Lux Women will find readers among scholars of colonialism, African history, and ethnography as well those for whom the problem of commodification is a significant theoretical issue.
