Others, Otherness, Othering
Who are the others who live in the townships just up the road? Who are they who buy luxury penthouses jutting over the ocean? Who are the others who crawl the water pipes at night? Who are they who sip champagne from a five-star hotel patio at sunset? Who are the others who lick takeaway containers thrown in gutters? Who are they who order designer sneakers from abroad?
I have seen others with large kind eyes, wild demented eyes and skillfully made-up eyes. I have seen others with scars and rashes who scramble into bushes at dusk. And those who saunter, hips swinging, heels clicking, along main road pavements just for show.
Who are the others? Why are some people ‘the other’ who eat from trash bins? Why are some people the ‘others’ who fly in jet planes to luxury destinations? Why was I born me, he was born he and she was born she? Why is my skin light and your skin dark?
The Other and Apartheid
I remember growing up during Apartheid. I could roam freely, safely, across the open veld, into the huge tunnels under the main roads, along the railway lines and into the pine forests. A Zulu woman worked for us, cleaning our house. She lived over the hill, in a completely different vicinity. Flora was ‘the other’, a stranger in our home. I was so naïve.
The Ethics Centre explains it like this:
The Other is a term used to capture the ways other people are different from us. It’s also used to describe the people who we keep distant from us because we decide they’re not like us. The process of Othering occurs when we turn fellow humans into abstract entities we can distance ourselves from or treat as less-than-human.
For Flora, we were ‘the other’, too. We had a large house with a large garden, hot water, electricity and cupboards full of food. During Apartheid, the process of “Othering” was exacerbated by a system that classified all South Africans into four racial categories: White, Black (Bantu), Coloured (mixed race), and Indian/Asian. Here, the Other was treated as “not me” or “not us,” often viewed as inferior or threatening to the in-group.
Opposites Attract
Zygmunt Bauman suggests that the idea of otherness is essential to the way in which society creates categories of identity. He argues that identities are structured as a division or contrast between two things that are represented as being entirely different.
‘Woman is the other of man, animal is the other of human, stranger is the other of native, abnormality the other of norm, deviation the other of law- abiding, illness the other of health, insanity the other of reason, lay public the other of the expert, foreigner the other of state subject, enemy the other of friend. ‘This reminds me of the Yin and Yang of life. The incessant attraction and repulsion of forces we live with every minute of every day. Think about black and white, male and female, day and night, summer and winter, high tide and low tide, fatigue and energy, sun and moon. One cannot exist without the other. They flow in and out, infinitely, from soft to hard, the calm to the storm. Without depression, we would not experience joy.
Think about it: “No matter what you do, there will always be a dark and light side to it. The hard truth is that you are only pretty because someone else is considered ugly, you’re only rich because someone else is poor. Because without the opposites, there is nothing that can establish your hierarchy in this world. At any time, the black can become white and the white can become black. Hope can become despair and despair can become hope. Just like how if you keep traveling east, you will eventually arrive at the west. “
Thinking about Others
Philosopher Simone de Beauvoir believed that “Otherness is a basic category of human thought”. You are who you think you are. When you compare yourself to others, you are entrenching your ego in a world full of diverse humans. Thoughts and opinions can make or break us. Yet, they are far from real. Think about the last time you travelled to another country. You were a foreigner entering someone else’s native land – you saw them as ‘the other’, and they perceived you as ‘the other’. Think about how wars start and how couples divorce.
As soon as we think about what something is, we think about the opposite – the Other. We tend to place ourselves in context according to those around us. This helps us to define who we are at any given time. However, natural or not, Othering isn’t a neutral process – it tends to lead to the mistreatment of the people we decide are Other.
We see it playing out every day in our worlds – your world, my world, the others’ worlds. On the bus, the train, in the traffic and in the coffee shops. On the sidewalks, at work and in the gym. Keep it to yourself if you regard someone as different from you. Count your blessings that you are indeed different! Amen!
Who ARE the Others?
I know people who live in the townships just up the road. I don’t know people who buy luxury penthouses jutting over the ocean. I often see people who lick takeaway containers thrown in gutters? And I see people wearing designer sneakers from abroad. Like me, you too have seen it all. Maybe I have passed you on my morning walks? Maybe you have met my eye in your rags, or was that you in the Porsche spinning by?
Have you ever wondered why you are you and not me? When I see green do you see it too or do you see blue? Have you ever noticed how many of ‘you’ there are? The ‘you’ that greets your mother, the ‘you’ that drinks coffee with your friends and the ‘you’ that meets with colleagues in a boardroom. So, who ARE the others?
The pursuit of otherness, the sense that we are somehow different than our brothers and sisters, no matter where we find them, allows for all the other great evils: racism, sexism, homophobia, violence against gay people and against women – Anna Quindlen

Others, Otherness, Othering
Who are the others who live in the townships just up the road? Who are they who buy luxury penthouses jutting over the ocean? Who are the others who crawl the water pipes at night? Who are they who sip champagne from a five-star hotel patio at sunset? Who are the others who lick takeaway containers thrown in gutters? Who are they who order designer sneakers from abroad?
I have seen others with large kind eyes, wild demented eyes and skillfully made-up eyes. I have seen others with scars and rashes who scramble into bushes at dusk. And those who saunter, hips swinging, heels clicking, along main road pavements just for show.
Who are the others? Why are some people ‘the other’ who eat from trash bins? Why are some people the ‘others’ who fly in jet planes to luxury destinations? Why was I born me, he was born he and she was born she? Why is my skin light and your skin dark?
The Other and Apartheid
I remember growing up during Apartheid. I could roam freely, safely, across the open veld, into the huge tunnels under the main roads, along the railway lines and into the pine forests. A Zulu woman worked for us, cleaning our house. She lived over the hill, in a completely different vicinity. Flora was ‘the other’, a stranger in our home. I was so naïve.
The Ethics Centre explains it like this:
The Other is a term used to capture the ways other people are different from us. It’s also used to describe the people who we keep distant from us because we decide they’re not like us. The process of Othering occurs when we turn fellow humans into abstract entities we can distance ourselves from or treat as less-than-human.
For Flora, we were ‘the other’, too. We had a large house with a large garden, hot water, electricity and cupboards full of food. During Apartheid, the process of “Othering” was exacerbated by a system that classified all South Africans into four racial categories: White, Black (Bantu), Coloured (mixed race), and Indian/Asian. Here, the Other was treated as “not me” or “not us,” often viewed as inferior or threatening to the in-group.
