Abstract
Understandings of how water access is shaped in the negotiation of time, space and gender and how South Sudanese refugees experience those negotiations, offers some insight in current problems related to water use inside refugee settlement BidiBidi, located north of Uganda. To get any closer to such understanding, one first has to analyse underlying theoretical concepts and therefore this thesis consists of a thematic axis that is shaped by concepts like the hydro social cycle, spatially and temporality of a refugee camp and gender water relations. It demonstrates how water access is shaped by the constant negotiation of gender and other roles and the experiencing of time and space. It reflects on concepts like national order of things (Malkki 1995), state of exception (Agamben 1992), and non-places (Augé 1996). Three life stories of refugees are being used as a way to analyse the dimensions of spatiality and temporality of a refugee settlement, the notion of suffering for water and the exploration of gender water relations. This thesis offers a perspective on shaping water access through the experiences of South Sudanese refugees who negotiate time, space and gender on a daily basis. For the purpose of this research I used the power of the visual, a technique called Story-Mapping and a video reflection of my fieldwork. |
