I am excited and challenged by the ideas in this project and I can see that it is in an advanced state of development in terms of critical engagement. As a non-South African, I feel I do not know enough about the terms and experiences being described. Here are some questions that would help me fill in some detail.
Are the suburban cultures that are embracing the term 'Luxion Kulta' different from other urban, rural and suburban cultures, and if so how?
Are the emerging terms "Luxion Kulta" and "e'kasi" evidence of a shift in the social landscape in South Africa? How are they shifting or not shifting the society?
What are the roles of the Internet for how these issues and how they are communicated to international audiences? Are there links to blogs, research, websites, forums that are discussing these challeneges?
