In addition, I locate the collection within a  tradition of short story sequences by women writers from marginalized groups, and focus on the ways in which the interlinked narratives it contains emphasize the notion that personal identity, community and place are inextricably connected. Ultimately, I maintain that, despite the bleak  socioeconomic circumstances, alcoholism and abuse that Phillips depicts in many of the stories, the dominant tone of the collection is not one of  disenchantment with contemporary South African realities. This is because of the gentleness and affection with which Phillips treats her subjects, and the  gleeful brand of raunchily direct humour she injects into her stories.","PeriodicalId":41428,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47912015","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 Road Not Travelled: Tracking Love in Frank Anthony’s The Journey: The Revolutionary Anguish of Comrade B 《未走过的路》：弗兰克·安东尼《旅程：B同志的革命痛苦》中的爱情追踪

The novel and its author  have been elided from South African history as a racialized  literary establishment and the defensiveness of the resistance organization of which he was a member reinforced each other in  tacit censorship. Anthony’s novel presents revealing insights into the  repression of the personal in the anti-apartheid movement, which  reflected the “liquidation” of love in leftist discourse of the period.  The importance of love, especially romantic love– the highly volatile  emotion which is often boundary-breaking and radically  transformative–has been recognized in contemporary postMarxism  and critical race theory. Blindness to the potential of love in  dominant struggle politics is reflected in the protagonist of The  Journey, whose passion for social justice leads, paradoxically, to  repression of the empowerment and emancipation of self(lessness)  through other(s), enabled by eros.   ","PeriodicalId":41428,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH IN AFRICA","volume":"51 41","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41244233","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}

Calvino prioritises the text as a stable object with inherent capacity to generate different reading experiences, while Bennett insists on the text’s multiplicity. What is clear from both scholars is that reading is a highly contested practice: who reads, what they read, when they read, how they read, what meanings they derive from reading, what meanings they should or shouldn’t derive from reading are concerns that have historically swirled around reading, in many cultural contexts. In this essay, I offer snapshots of the patterns these concerns have taken in my reading experience as a variously untutored, tutored, youthful and adult reader in Kenya and South Africa; both locations being discursively laden with ideological views on literature and its political labour. The essay surfaces the contradictions that flow through the English and Kiswahili narratives I read, their enmeshment in these ideological contestations and their imprint on my reading experiences across the tutored-untutored continuum.","PeriodicalId":41428,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45358592","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}

There and back again”: Reading Tolkien’s fantasy in South Africa 再回来”：阅读托尔金在南非的幻想

Tolkien’s fantasy1 is remarkable for its depth and groundedness, and this has established The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings as classics, although their place is still being defined. Tolkien’s work continues to offer new pleasures as it is re-read. Things that give me special pleasure range from individual phrases to the intertextual engagement of Tolkien’s fantasy with older motifs: these idiosyncratic pleasures appear to derive from the text itself and its participation in a tradition of textual influence, so that, for me, the pleasure is independent of where one reads Tolkien.2 University teaching of English literature should equip students to cope with literature that is not of their own place and time. Within the South African academy, we should not be seduced into reading only contemporary literature from Africa, or reading only according to the tenets of postcolonialism. Twentieth-century fantasy should be accessible to students independently of their background, because it is inherently and deliberately different from ordinary reality. However, when I have had the pleasure and privilege of guiding students writing on Tolkien’s work, I have found that their responses to it are enriched if they are equipped to read works that are older or in some way other. Tolkien’s classic fantasy is a source of pleasure in many ways, and this delight and discovery is not and should not be limited to readers from certain backgrounds only.","PeriodicalId":41428,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42090497","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 rejecting claims about the inherent value of certain literary works, I unravel my socially situated reading and responses, and therefore counter assumptions that literary value or acts of reading can be universalised. I reflect on personal encounters with Jane Austen’s novels and Emily Dickinson’s poetry,  demonstrating how this generated my cognitive, sensory and imaginative growth. Analysed memories of discovering and first reading particular works are connected to a critique of prescriptive decolonial discourse. The essay illustrates this by focusing on readers’ embodied encounters with certain books, affective responses and heterogeneous subject positions. These can lead to their finding emotionally satisfying, edifying and inspirational meanings – irrespective of the historical, geopolitical or cultural worlds delineated by the works’ authors.","PeriodicalId":41428,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44389517","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}

Antigone’s return: When a once-told story is not enough Antigone的回归：当一个曾经讲述过的故事还不够时

{"title":"Antigone’s return: When a once-told story is not enough","authors":"Miki Flockemann","doi":"10.4314/eia.v49i3.4","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.4314/eia.v49i3.4","url":null,"abstract":"Encountering an old story in a reimagined way is sometimes deliberately more unsettling than pleasurably familiar in its new guise. A case in point is a recent revisioning of Sophocles’ Antigone, arguably the most frequently recalled story from the classical canon, which has seen several local iterations over time – most notably in The Island by Athol Fugard, John Kani and Winston Ntshona (1973). The focus here is how the re-enactment of the Antigone story, Antigone (not quite/quiet) at the Baxter Theatre in Cape Town in 2019, produced as part of a project on Re-imagining Tragedy in the Global South, generates a multi-layered reading experience within the affect-laden and communal atmosphere of a live performance event. Reading here encompasses several dimensions: apart from reading the re-envisioned performative response in relation to its much-translated ‘original’ version, there is the experience of reading as an embodied, affective encounter in the context of the live performance event. In addition, this invites a process of reading around classic texts, which as I argue, can revitalise the intersections between current and apparently forgotten texts in one’s own reading history. In reflecting on Antigone (not quite/quiet) for instance, in relation to the contemporary need for ‘stark fictions’ of the past in developing an ethics of responsibility, I was struck by an unbidden recollection of Thomas Hardy’s preoccupation with tragedy in late nineteenth-century Victorian England. As I shall show, Hardy’s frequent rebuttals in response to often somewhat dismissive accusations of his over-determined pessimism reveal his foresight in understanding the necessity of a tragic sensibility, which in hindsight now makes sense ‘differently’ and even anticipates some current debates on the revelatory and critically urgent aspects of a tragic consciousness.","PeriodicalId":41428,"journal":{"name":"ENGLISH IN AFRICA","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49610739","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}
