Written from a partly autoethnographic perspective, this article investigates current and past South African government stances on HIV/AIDS, grounding them in their larger political and ideological contexts, and examining the broader repercussions. A comparative analysis of South Africa's loveLife and STEPS interventions problematizes the self-branding used by loveLife in favor of the uplifting and humanizing message of STEPS. The author highlights the dangers of favoring AIDS solutions seeped in racial and cultural discourse over scientific ones and calls for the country's current HIV/AIDS strategy to be (re)mediatized in terms of its local and global representations. The idea of sham reasoning is discussed in relation to the generation of pseudoscientific discourses.

This article continues Tomaselli's Kalahari story on issues of representation, research methodology, and reverse cultural studies. He discusses relationships between observers and observed in terms of dependency, inclusions/exclusions, and borders and Othering. Continuing with an auto-ethnography, Tomaselli reflexively analyzes tensions and contradictions set in motion by the writing of this article within both the San communities themselves and between himself, development, and other agencies working in one of these areas. Questions addressed relate to ownership of information, the relationship between the local/particular and the national/policy, and how to ensure campfire dissemination/involvement of the written product.

This article is a theorized diary of three field trips to a remote part of South ern Africa. It develops a reflexive argument for a reverse cultural studies in discussing problems in fieldwork, globalization, academic access, and research accountability. Academy-bound scholarship claiming to be study ing the popular is questioned. An argument is made for an empirical space in cultural studies for a greater acknowledgement of fieldwork done in the Third and Fourth Worlds vis-à-vis theory development in the Western metropoles. The narrative aims to forge a space in the global publications industry for kinds of cultural studies done in Africa, in which detail is as important as theory, in which human agency is described and recognized, and in which voices from the field, our subjects of observation, are engaged by researchers as their equals in human dignity and thus as pro ducers of knowledge. Theoreticism is questioned.

Most of the author's writing and film/video making until the mid-1990s was couched within an antiapartheid, explicitly Marxist framework. But, like all individuals, he has his contradictions. These are derived from his class, eth nic, and racial determinations. This reflexive article negotiates the author's experiences during the apartheid and postapartheid eras, from modernism to postmodernism. This chapter examines some of these influences on his professional experience, teaching, and research.
