Awkward Activisms: Gender and Embodied Mobilization in a Postapartheid South African Social Movement

The focus of this article, however, is not primarily disciplinary
paradigms or the tension of inhabiting incompatible orientations with regard
to the ethnographic context of my research. Such considerations extending
from Strathern’s reflexive insights have been fruitfully explored elsewhere
(e.g., Zavella 1996; Patico 2013). Rather, I am concerned with the discordance
between activist practices—specifically, the avowed commitments to
gender equity in a postapartheid South African coalitional organization—
and feminist activism practiced by an offshoot group that exposed and challenged
that organization. My focus, then, is primarily feminism’s orientation
not toward anthropology but rather toward the conditioned practices
of coalitional activism.
