Katrak pertinently aligns the interventions and cross incubatory impulse of Pather’s curatorial projects (such as “Infecting the City” in Cape Town) with the performance research fostered by, for instance, the GIPCA (Gordon Institute for performance and Creative Art) “Great Texts/Big Questions” events which bring together scholars and artists from various fields. In Chapter 5, “A New Kind of Performance—Curation of Live Artists,” Katrak shares the abundance generated in the conception and creativity that Pather mentors on these performance platforms. Key to Pather’s vision for Live Art and Public Art is the questioning of the reception of performance events. For him, these performance insertions are about “unlocking communal spaces and giving ordinary citizens access to extraordinary art” (Pather qtd on 302). This chapter begins to pose urgent questions around what Pather identifies as the “limit of forms” in his essay entitled “The Impossibility of Curating Live Art” (2019)—the “death of the curator” (329). Pather seems poised to re-animate “new directions” for Live Art or to keep instilling a turbulence for change, captured in his words, “the curation of anarchy or crisis is a contradiction in terms” (Pather qtd on 325). This text invites the reader to absorb both the mysterious and magical aspects of Pather’s vision; to conjure up stirring practices of freedom both in the name of and in resistance to somatic thresholds that continue to retain an ambiguous presence which becomes visible, not only in performance art, but also in the lived power struggles that are enacted daily on bodies in a still revolting South Africa.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123567037","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, he gives Sarraounia the latitude to experience it through men because “A nankhi hi bolo gnan nangbè, fara folo fin néyé” ([They will be your tools for pastime, for unwinding your body] my translation).

This article considers these projects in light of Sarr’s disciplinary origins as an economist and his early transdisciplinary forays into literature. I argue that Sarr’s first three literary works – Dahij (2009), 105 rue Carnot (2011), and Méditations africaines (2012) – subtly interweave economic analysis with representations of African subjectivity and relationality. I show that Sarr’s early literary work critiques the existing global systems of values, symbols, and narratives that have always constructed Africa as a site of crisis, impoverishment, and exploitation. They then center intimate humanistic concerns as dissenting acts against global capitalist ideologies. This analysis shows Sarr’s literature to be emblematic of contemporary reconfigurations of African literary engagement.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133747997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nelson Mandela as poetic trope 纳尔逊·曼德拉是一个诗意的比喻

As with the “shape-shifting quality” (Barnard 5) of his political iconicity, so his representation in poetry has varied over time. More often than not, the meaning of “Mandela” in any given poem tells us as much about the poet’s attitudes as about Mandela the (once-)living man, but the sheer frequency of the references attests to his unique stature. This essay illustrates the range of meanings ascribed to Mandela by poets from the 1960s to the present day: the stoic embodiment of resistance during his imprisonment, the messianic figure leading his people to freedom in 1990, the potentially compromised/compromising politician following his release, and finally the revered elder trapped by his own iconicity and weighed down by the burden of public (over-)expectation. The essay concludes by suggesting that Mandela’s name will continue to be invoked in the future as a kind of touchstone of personal character, political probity, and national promise.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114747444","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The tyranny of normative hedonism in postcolonial Cameroon: literary explorations 后殖民时期喀麦隆规范享乐主义的暴政:文学探索

It borrows critical perspectives from Achille Mbembe’s notion of the chaotic plurality of the postcolony. It contends that normative hedonism is a pervasive feature of Cameroonian anti-dictatorial literature. It focuses on Francis Nyamnjoh’s The Travail of Dieudonné, A Nose for Money, and Married but Available. The story in all the novels is set in the fictional land of Mimbo, ruled by a power-drunk elite, characterized by political corruption, kleptomania, and sexual excess, discussed here as examples of tyrannical normative hedonism. In Mimboland, the pleasures of power and the pain of domination are multidirectional and status-less. Reading these texts from this perspective allows the reader to explore the links between power and tyrannical pleasure-seeking as well as powerlessness.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115141897","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
