In a world altered by the technocratic paradigm, has our realist optic, founded on a witnessing that focuses on the surface appearance of things and a rhetoric framed by neo-liberal epistemology and desires, blinded us to the current changeable nature(s) and layerings of war and conflict? War is either seen as an abnormal happening in a faraway country, often defined as a dispute and not a war, or else it alters from a spectacular coordination of brute violence to a socio-economic inducement of fear, panic, social mobilisation/dispersion, and control in the particles of everyday life. During long periods of slow conflict nations leak away, people become metronomes, cultures are sapped of resilience, languages evaporate, existences are rendered irrelevant. How does writing bear witness to this spectrum of violence and reveal the technocratic paradigm underlying the sutures?","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"27 1","pages":"3 - 32"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49461765","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 argues that the text exhibits generic, stylistic, and thematic entanglements with its precursor texts, particularly Tsitsi Dangarembga’s Nervous Conditions (Harare: Zimbabwe Publishing House, 1988) and Dambudzo Marechera’s Mindblast, or, the Definitive Buddy (Harare: College Press, 1984), and with the post-2000 Zimbabwean context, in ways that enrich and extend current and earlier understandings of these texts. It establishes that, besides generic and stylistic entanglements, Chairman of Fools dialogues with these precursor texts in the representation of the figure of the non-conformist artist, discourses of gender, and discourses of mental breakdown. It also engages with discourses of the post-2000 Zimbabwean crisis, inclusive of the “crisis of masculinity”. The symbiosis of this intertextuality makes visible the non-hierarchical relationships that exist amongst these related texts, both literary and non-literary, and brings into focus the instability and permeability of the boundaries often used to order and create demarcations within and between these texts. The intertextuality also points at some of the literary continuities and discontinuities in the Zimbabwean literary canon—and hence its evolution—together with social and ideological shifts in Zimbabwean society.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"27 1","pages":"33 - 47"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49477427","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, twenty-four Grade 12 learners, who are conceptualised as living human bodies closely connected through intergenerational memory, responded to an indigenous literary body, the set novel The Uncertainty of Hope (Harare: Weaver Press, 2006) by Valerie Tagwira. The learners’ responses were in the form of poems and symbolic poem-drawings. Participants created their own literary bodies, which reflect and re-member their individual and intergenerational experiences of the set text and of literature in general. Importantly, these multimodal literary bodies of learner “re-memberings” represent the interplay among embodied intergenerational experience, the set text as a literary body, and the discussion of the findings as a body of interpretive work.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"27 1","pages":"48 - 74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46580896","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}

Male authors, like Narayan Wagle in his work Palpasa Café, Yug Pathak in Urgen ko Ghoda, and D. B. Gurung in Breaking Twilight, deploy the form of the heterosexual love story in order to provide certain explanations and resolutions for the political conflict. In doing so they open up a host of issues related to gender in Nepal, as their texts seek to contain and confine the female characters. On the other hand, female authors, like Tara Rai in Chapamar Yuwati ko Diary and Radha Paudel in Khalanga ma Hamla, use the form of the memoir to bring forth a different idea of community love. This article demonstrates how love, within the love story format presented by the male authors, becomes restrictive and confining to female characters, while the form of the memoir allows women not only to redefine love but also to create a new identity for themselves in post-war Nepal.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"26 1","pages":"20 - 35"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41636429","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 Albinic Body and the Architecture of Resilience in Ben Hanson’s Takadini and Petina Gappah’s The Book of Memory 本·汉森的《塔卡迪尼》和佩蒂娜·加帕的《记忆之书》中的白化体与弹性建筑

Persons with albinism are often subjected to social exclusion, rape, and ritual killing due to misconceptions about the aetiology of their condition. The albinic body—regarded by ableist society as either unpigmented or wrongly pigmented—inhabits a precarious liminal space between whiteness and blackness, normalcy and abnormality, and ultra-visibility and invisibility. This ambivalent positionality deconstructs the ideological construction of difference based on pigmentation and shows that albinism cannot be essentialised as inferiority. Using Ben Hanson’s Takadini (1997, Kampala: East African Educational Publishers) and Petina Gappah’s The Book of Memory (2015, London: Faber and Faber), I offer a context-specific discussion of the architecture of resilience exhibited by persons with albinism, with a particular focus on how misconceptions about albinism are disconnected from the lived realities of albinic characters. While the texts are alive to the medical challenges confronting the albinic body, they also underscore its resilience and full functionality in the face of culturally mediated disablement. To explore this dynamic in these two novels, the article formulates an aesthetic of resilience that draws on resilience theory in structural engineering. I argue that the albinic body has resilience properties that can turn its vulnerability into a creative force that unsettles notional understandings of what it means to be albinic.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"26 1","pages":"36 - 53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42804447","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}

His most famous works— Beyond the Devil’s Teeth, The Caliph’s House, In Arabian Nights, and many more—describe his journeys to various places in India, Africa, and Latin America, valuable sources of knowledge about the cultures and societies of these places.

South African War Poetry of the Twentieth Century: Poetic Bodies Flexing “Muscular Demonstrations” 二十世纪南非战争诗歌：“肌肉示范”的诗意体

These bodies are conduits for Fanonian “muscular demonstrations”. They embody reaction and resistance to world conflicts and colonial oppression of the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries and carry textual traces of intergenerational memory construction and trauma. The construct of poetic bodies serves as a conceptual framework through which to analyse the war experiences of civilians and soldiers. In this article, the major forms and themes of South African war poetry are discussed as embodiments of these poetic bodies, which consist of language and memory traces within various historical milieus. These contexts include the South African War (1899–1902), the 1906 Zulu rebellion, the First World War (1914–1918), the Second World War (1939–1945), the civil war in the townships (ca 1961–1994), and the Angolan/Namibian Border War (ca 1966–1989).","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"26 1","pages":"1 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48317398","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}
