While there is nothing wrong with this framework, what this dominant approach does is flatten out and elide other complex ways of reading through what these texts have constructed as fearful and monstrous. This essay relies on the framework of Rebecca Duncan, who suggests a way of conceptualizing Afro-gothic that does not rely on the postcolonial theory paradigm. Following Abiola Irele, Duncan proposes Afro-gothic to be dependent on the influence of African orality where the “supernatural figures associated with particular cosmologies or mythologies … are presented in gothic terms” in the literary texts (Duncan 158). Using two canonical texts and a recent text based on Yoruba and Igbo oralities, the supernatural substrate, ogbanje/abiku from Igbo/Yoruba cosmologies within these texts will be excavated to reveal the Gothic dimensions that have previously been overlooked. I will engage in this analysis by closely reading Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, the poem “Abiku” by JP Clark, and Freshwater by Akwaeke Emezi.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130219317","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}

Post-Apartheid Same-Sex Sexualities: Restless Identities in Literary and Visual Culture 种族隔离后的同性性行为:文学和视觉文化中不安分的身份

These cinematic works, as well as the film festival experience, demonstrate that even as queer Africans remain bound to violent heteropatriarchal systems that attempt to erase queerness, there are opportunities from within vulnerability for pleasure and life building, and to anticipate future freedom. Take, for instance, the promotional poster for OFF 2018. As Green-Simms explains, “the Rafiki ticket stub [featured on the poster], which marks the absence of the film itself, is a way of understanding defeat as political potential” (189). Just like the creative, subversive work discussed within, Queer African Cinemas represents the transformative potential of queer scholarship on Africa in the United States and West. I am completely impressed by Green-Simms’s apparent desire to resist conventions of Western queer scholarship, for instance, and her exemplary attention to the intricacies of queer African cultural production, which clearly informs her approach to cinematic close-reading. As a result, she presents to her audience a set of tools for interpreting queer and African art that can be simultaneously, and self-reflexively, applied to cultural analysis in/of the United States and the West. Green-Simms’s writing is wholly accessible, so I anticipate this book being able to impact readers in the academy, as well as beyond.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115608346","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}

It describes and argues against “expulsion exceptionalism,” or the ways that expulsion is understood as a singular event and through discourses of African-Asian racial estrangement, the racial victimization of Asians, the excesses of military dictator Idi Amin, and illiberal framings of Uganda, Africa and African governance. Rather, the expulsion is a global critical event and a continuous reality that remains unresolved yet is central to new practices of South Asian noncitizen incorporation by the current government. The “insecurities of expulsion” refer to: 1) the effects and affects of expulsion; 2) the imaginaries, memories and meaning-making around expulsion; and 3) the practices and performances of Ugandan Asian/South Asian citizenship that have emerged since expulsion. This research contributes to Afro-Asian futures and to anthropological and other disciplinary engagements with global/transnational “Afro-Asian study.”","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"148 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116341699","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}

In this study, I examine the agentic difference between forced outing and self-outing among male homosexual characters in selected African fictional narratives. The texts employed are Jude Dibia’s Walking with Shadows and Tendai Huchu’s The Hairdresser of Harare. I argue that in forced outing, male homosexual characters undergo sexual oppression, are subjected to psychological oppression, and are denied their individual agency. In order to survive homophobia, these characters become liars, deceivers, and cheats. In their quest for social acceptance, they knowingly suppress their homosexual identity and pretend to perform societally normative heterosexuality. What is obvious in these novels is that queer visibility still represents a major challenge for members of minoritized sexual communities who consequently have to explore non-conventional measures in order to survive.","PeriodicalId":116895,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the African Literature Association","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115286898","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}
