Deconstructing the 'sugar daddy': A critical review of the constructions of men in intergenerational sexual relationships in South Africa
(Routledge, 2013)Since a recent Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC) prevalence study highlighted the relationship between intergenerational sex and risk of HIV infection, a range of studies in Southern Africa have documented the commonality ... -
Deconstructing the Leviathan: Derrida’s The Beast and the Sovereign
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2012)Derrida’s The Beast & the Sovereign volume I, explores the contradictory appearance of animals in political discourse. Sometimes, as he points out, political man and the sovereign state appear in the form of an animal, and ... -
Deconstructing ‘the foreign’: The limits of citizenship for explaining price competition in the Spaza sector in South Africa

Deconstruction and law: Derrida, Levinas and Cornell
(University of Windsor, 2007)Drucilla Cornell’s book The Philosophy of the Limit has for a long time been an important reference point in attempting to understand the relation between deconstruction and law. This article examines some of the themes ... -
Decorum in nature: Impala (Aepyceros melampus melampus) dung middens follow spatial point patterns in Mukuvisi Woodland, Zimbabwe
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023)Guided by the Optimum Foraging Theory,the Avoidance Concept, and assuming that the impala Aepyceros melampus melampus defecate purposevely at dung middens, we hypothe-sized that the impala’s dung midden locations do not: ... -

A deep radio view of the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate density from a stellar-mass-selected sample in VLA-COSMOS
(Royal Astronomical Society, 2022)We present the 1.4 GHz radio luminosity functions (RLFs) of galaxies in the Cosmic Evolution Survey (COSMOS) field, measured above and below the 5σ detection threshold, using a Bayesian model-fitting technique. The radio ... -
Deep Extragalactic Visible Legacy Survey (DEVILS): evolution of the σSFR –M relation and implications for self-regulated star formation
(Advance Access, 2021)We present the evolution of the star formation dispersion–stellar mass relation ( σSFR –M ) in the DEVILS D10 region using new measurements derived using the PROSPECT spectral energy distribution fitting code. We find ... -
