Remaking Mutirikwi

Focuses on how claims and practices of belonging and autochthony articulate with practices of authority and power through the materialities of water and landscape. Deploying both anthropology and history it examines how local contests provoked by land occupations around Lake Mutirikwi in the 2000s were animated by the entangled material and imaginative remnants of the past colonial and postcolonial regimes of rule through the form and substance of landscape.
