DESCRIPTION:\nWorkshop: The will to be governed\n\nDepartment of Social A
 nthropology\n\n10.00-17.00\n\n20- 21 March 2018\n\nLimiting Government R
 eforms: from land to credit in South Africa\n\nForms of injustice left o
 ver when an authoritarian regime is in its dying throes are never easy t
 o eradicate. At moments of fundamental political transition\, there are 
 limits on the ability of new governments\, and the new laws they pass\, 
 to shape the activities and dispositions of citizens. Times of change\, 
 often preceded by struggle and suffering\, seem to offer the opportunity
  to rearrange political and economic regimes and to deliver justice to t
 hose who never before dared to hope for better\, but implementing ‘rever
 sionary legislation’ is difficult (Falk Moore 2011). What happens to tho
 se with an existing stake in the system? How far can new arrangements be
  forced to accommodate the continuation of certain older ones? When gove
 rnments use wide-reaching legislative programmes to implant new regimes\
 , their decrees sometimes simply exist alongside local mores: existing ‘
 ways of behaving … exist parallel to and under the eyes of a new governm
 ent’ (ibid: p.7). Alterations can seldom be forced by fiat. This paper l
 ooks through the prism of land reform\, which attempted to address one o
 f apartheid’s more notorious and obvious aspects of dispossession\, to e
 xplore some of these questions about the limits to planned and legislate
 d intervention in a related\, less obvious\, and lesser-known aspect of 
 South Africa’s discriminatory system: ‘credit apartheid’.\n\nKeynote spe
