Densities of meaning in west Namibian landscapes: genealogies, ancestral agencies, and healing
This chapter draws on an oral history and cultural mapping project in west Namibia that has documented remembered former dwelling places, particularly in today's Sesfontein and Purros communal-area Conservancies and the Palmwag Tourism Concession. The research draws into focus past practices of dwelling, mobility, livelihood and environmental perception amongst Khoekhoegowab² -speaking peoples who refer to themselves as Damara / ‡Nūkhoen and ||Ubun³ , who lived into at least the recent past as hunter-harvesters and small stock pastoralists throughout the wider west Namibian landscape.
