Kreuzenstein Castle was built between 1874 and 1906 on the ruins of a medieval fortress. It was conceived as a family mausoleum and venue for preserving and displaying the owner's collection of medieval art, but it can also be interpreted as the idealized vision of a medieval castle from the perspective of the 19th century. This study clarifies to what extent our view of the medieval castle is contingent on the faults, fractures and “constructs” of modernity. Burg Kreuzenstein wurde zwischen 1874 und 1906 auf den Ruinen einer mittelalterlichen Festung errichtet. Der Bau sollte als Familienmausoleum ebenso wie als Aufbewahrungs- und Präsentationsort für eine umfangreiche Kunstsammlung dienen und kann als mittelalterliche „Idealburg“ des 19. Jahrhunderts bezeichnet werden. Ausgehend von Kreuzenstein macht die vorliegende Studie deutlich, dass unser heutiges Bild von der mittelalterlichen Burg in entscheidenden Bereichen auf „Konstruktionen“ der Moderne beruht.

Anxious Joburg focuses on Johannesburg, the largest and wealthiest city in South Africa, as a case study for the contemporary global south city. Global south cities are often characterised as sites of contradiction and difference that produce a range of feelings around anxiety. This is often imagined in terms of the global north's anxieties about the south: migration, crime, terrorism, disease and environmental crisis. Anxious Joburg invites readers to consider an intimate perspective of living inside such a city. How does it feel to live in the metropolis of Johannesburg: what are the conditions, intersections, affects and experiences that mark the contemporary urban? Scholars, visual artists and storytellers all look at unexamined aspects of Johannesburg life. From peripheral settlements to the inner city to the affluent northern suburbs, from precarious migrants and domestic workers to upwardly mobile young women and fearful elites, Anxious Joburg presents an absorbing engagement with this frustrating, dangerous, seductive city. It offers a rigorous, critical approach to Johannesburg revealing the way in which anxiety is a vital structuring principle of contemporary life. The approach is strongly interdisciplinary, with contributions from media studies, anthropology, religious studies, urban geography, migration studies and psychology. It will appeal to students and teachers, as well as to academic researchers concerned with Johannesburg, South Africa, cities and the global south. The mix of approaches will also draw a non-academic audience.

This book contests the negative portrayal of African immigrants as people who are not valuable members of South African society. They are often perceived as a threat to South Africa and its patrimony, accused of committing crime, taking jobs and competing for resources with South African citizens. Unique in its deployment of a deconstructionist theoretical and analytical framework, this work argues that this is a simplistic portrayal of a complex reality. Inocent Moyo lays bare, not only the failings of an exclusivist narrative of belonging, but also a complex social reality around migration and immigration politics, belonging and exclusion in contemporary South Africa. Over seven chapters he introduces new perspectives on the negative portrayal of African immigrants and argues that to sustain a negative view of them as the ‘threatening other’ ignores complex people-place-space dynamics. For these reasons, the analytical, empirical and theoretical value of the project is that it broadens the study of migration related contexts in a South African setting. Academics, students, policy makers and activists focusing on the migration and immigration debate will find this book invaluable.
