The study is based on Teun van Dijk’s socio-cognitive approach to discourse, which attempts to show how the relation between discourse and society is cognitively mediated by way of the mental representations created by language users as members of society. The data for this study are Nigerian comedies about the novel coronavirus, purposively selected from YouTube. The study finds that Nigerians consider the guidelines published by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) as ridiculous, hence the humorous responses found in comedies. The study also finds that this attitude may be based on people’s views of the intrigues surrounding the pandemic, and that the laughter generated signifies audience involvement in the humour created when the comedies reference the NCDC guidelines.","PeriodicalId":41471,"journal":{"name":"English Academy Review-Southern African Journal of English Studies","volume":"62 1","pages":"76 - 92"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89225623","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 project draws on Gregory Bateson’s mood-sign, a signifying emotional response to stimulation; Erving Goffman’s theory of social frames; and Arthur Schopenhauer’s notion of suffering owing to human beings’ innate and perpetual cruelty to their fellows. Goffman’s notions of key, keying, fabrication, and primary frameworks untangle the different social signifying practices drawn on to present Nigerians’ painful encounters with Covid-19, while Schopenhauer’s work assists in unveiling the mode of suffering encountered. Each skit provides a perspective on the suffering experienced. The skits that are most versatile in their incorporation of transformative keys, framing elements, and suffering during that uneasy period are analysed. The results indicate that the primary frameworks were transformed in order for Nigerian comedians to represent the suffering experienced by Nigerians.","PeriodicalId":41471,"journal":{"name":"English Academy Review-Southern African Journal of English Studies","volume":"51 1","pages":"21 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88728251","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}

This iconoclastic satire was published originally in Afrikaans in 1994, the year of the first democratic elections in South Africa. This article offers a close reading of “Peace on Earth”, a chapter that desublimates significant sacred icons in Afrikaner cultural mythology and offers a critique of the intricate workings of ideology. Notably, this critique relies upon the abjection of the male Afrikaner’s body, in particular that of Treppie Benade. Treppie, the satirist, is found sitting upon the “throne” (toilet) as he purges himself of the lies and illusions of apartheid ideology through a lengthy scatology. This article begins by situating the novel in terms of its commentary on the apartheid government’s attempt to rehabilitate the abject of the Afrikaner volk: poor white “trash”. It highlights excrement as a master trope of the satirist before analysing the allusions to Judeo-Christian iconography and (e)scatology (invoked in the Great Trek narrative) in terms of their resonances with Louis Althusser’s and Slavoj Žižek’s concepts of ideology. Further, I explore Treppie’s faecal tapestry in terms of an immanent sublime, drawing on Julia Kristeva’s theory of abjection and Friedrich Nietzsche’s Dionysian sublime. In conclusion, I consider Treppie’s final words and orientation at the end of the novel, and the implications of his Dionysian approach to an uncertain future.","PeriodicalId":41471,"journal":{"name":"English Academy Review-Southern African Journal of English Studies","volume":"180 1","pages":"25 - 38"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77323004","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}
