ABSTRACT Taking sport seriously in academic sociological writing bridged the gap between the sociology of sport and its mother discipline with a special edition in the South African Review of the Sociology in 2015. This paper addresses a global and national audience in critically reflecting on the discourses of gender, media and politics as they intersect in the construction of the Caster Semenya saga (2009–2010) through political cartoons. Reporting on female athletes in local South African newspapers mostly follows broad global trends of relative under-representation, marginalization and gender stereotyping with an exception of the Caster Semenya saga. This paper draws on the analysis of political cartoons portraying the controversies surrounding Caster Semenya during her 11-month ban and re-entry into competitive participation by July 2010. During that period, a total of 18 editorials were identified on SA Media that displayed cartoons referring to the saga under analysis. The choice of data provides visual imagery pertinent of gender ideology as it fluctuates according to dominant political discourses. These were analysed to explore layers of meanings that contributed to the hermeneutics of suspicion and constructed meanings related to prominent political, socio-cultural and gender discourses of relevance within the South African context. Descriptors (words) and images articulate to communicate powerful messages about anti-colonial sentiments, international unequal power relations that transcend sport but also impact on a nationalist agenda, the contention of fair competition and human justice within elite sport.
在学术社会学写作中认真对待体育,在2015年的《南非社会学评论》(South African Review of the sociology)上发表了一篇特刊,弥合了体育社会学与其母学科之间的差距。本文通过政治漫画探讨了性别、媒体和政治话语在卡斯特·塞门亚传奇(Caster Semenya saga, 2009-2010)的建构过程中的交叉点,以批判性的方式反思了全球和国内的观众。南非当地报纸对女运动员的报道大多遵循相对代表性不足、边缘化和性别刻板印象的广泛全球趋势,但卡斯特·塞门亚(Caster Semenya)的故事是个例外。本文分析了一些政治漫画,这些漫画描绘了卡斯特尔·塞门亚在11个月的禁赛期间的争议,并于2010年7月重新参加比赛。在此期间,SA Media上总共有18篇社论刊登了与该事件有关的漫画。数据的选择提供了与性别意识形态相关的视觉意象,因为它根据占主导地位的政治话语波动。对这些进行了分析,以探索对南非背景下与突出的政治、社会文化和性别话语相关的怀疑解释学和构建意义做出贡献的意义层。描述符(文字)和图像清晰地传达了关于反殖民情绪、超越体育但也影响民族主义议程的国际不平等权力关系、精英体育中公平竞争和人类正义的争论等强有力的信息。

ABSTRACT The argument centres around the notion that conventional biomedical healthcare models are behaviour change-orientated but do not cater for patients on an individual level. Healthcare systems need to acknowledge and support alternative medical therapy and also cater for the social aspect of the patient, which includes family support. This article attempts to make a case for the patient's social context to be incorporated in diabetes healthcare by proposing a new model for diabetes healthcare as a contribution to current literature. A qualitative case study design was used to explore individual patient perspectives on diabetic healthcare and treatment options within a South African public healthcare setting. Data were collected through interviews with diabetic patients, personal observation and document analysis. Findings indicate that problematic aspects related to issues of negligence and non-adherence need to be resolved by the healthcare professional, as recognizing patients’ social contexts and their lifestyle management can positively impact on such issues.

ABSTRACT HIV and AIDS continue to pose a global health and development challenge, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa has one of the largest numbers of people living with HIV in the world. Despite accelerated efforts to combat the HIV and AIDS epidemic there remains an unabated challenge, i.e. continuing new infections, particularly among young African adults. Studies suggest that risky sexual behaviours, including multiple sexual partnerships, are responsible for the spread of HIV. This study sought, among other objectives, to identify underlying socio-economic factors fuelling multiple sexual relationships occurring in the context of casual sexual partnerships known as “ukujola”. A generic qualitative study approach was used, drawing on in-depth interviews (n = 20), focus groups (n = 4) and key-informant interviews (n = 8) conducted with IsiZulu-speaking participants (aged 21–34) from KwaZulu-Natal. The study found that there are various socio-economic factors, including poverty and high levels of unemployment, sexual desire and the need for social approval, which promote multiple sexual relationships. In order to curb the further spread of HIV and AIDS, prevention efforts must target the reduction of partner concurrency.
