These demands reject curricula that are considered narrow and unreformed and cultures that position many in the university as unwelcome outsiders. In response to these calls, there have been attempts at a renewal of the South African higher education system, and several universities are currently revising their curricula in an endeavour to be responsive to students’ concerns. Drawing on Michel Foucault's idea of the “episteme”, this article narrates a university professor's quest to reconceptualise the undergraduate and postgraduate international law curricula at the university where she lectures, and highlights the lessons she has learnt in the process about the boundaries of her and other international law scholars’ knowledge and ways of knowing.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"23 1","pages":"20 - 27"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125441.2019.1621925","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48585380","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 frequent attacks made by crocodiles on these people as they attempt to enter the country by crossing the Limpopo River are a fitting, if gruesome, metaphor for such prejudice. Against this background, I read Zoo City's own crocodile as a central figure in Beukes's engagement with discourses of prejudice. The animal familiar of a murderous human, this crocodile is blatantly politicised. Anthropomorphising nonhuman animals, as Beukes does here, is generally criticised for perpetuating anthropocentric ways of looking at the world. However, I read Zoo City's crocodile in light of work carried out by scholars such as Neel Ahuja, Nandini Thiyagarajan, and Kari Weil, who suggest that this contested practice might yet be of value to wider efforts to combat prejudiced and hierarchical ways of thinking about others. Straddling the boundaries between human and nonhuman, predator and prey, Beukes's crocodile dramatises the extent to which humans and nonhumans are entangled with and connected to one another, not only through prejudiced language and imagery, but also through their shared vulnerability. Acknowledging such shared vulnerability is, I suggest, a good way for humans to begin to rethink themselves and their place in the world. Through her nonhuman animals, and in particular her crocodile, Beukes explores, then, the potential for human prejudice that has infiltrated the rest of the animal kingdom to be reappropriated as a tool for ethical progress. Indeed, if nonhumans are already present in the biopolitical fold on account of the human prejudice they bear, then they might just be able to help challenge, from the inside, the very human hierarchies of being on which prejudice is founded. This, I argue, is precisely the work performed by the complex figure of the crocodile in Beukes's Zoo City.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"23 1","pages":"22 - 34"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125441.2017.1408676","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43958719","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}

I also examine how, as places, the cities are related to her identity formation. In the paper I put forward a social constructionist paradigm of Coloured identity and hold that, as places, Bulawayo and Harare play an important role in Lindiwe’s construction and maintenance of a Coloured identity as well as her identity as a city dweller. Through inhabiting and navigating Zimbabwe’s two major cities, Lindiwe inscribes herself upon these places and constructs and reifies a Coloured identity, thereby highlighting her quest to belong to a racial category and community that offer better prospects and privileges than blackness does.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"23 1","pages":"60 - 72"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125441.2018.1489891","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45109806","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}

One such memoir is Don’t Let’s Go To the Dogs Tonight by Alexandra Fuller (published in 2002). Recent criticism has focused on the discourse in the memoir, arguing that it represents settler discourse (or Rhodesian discourse) and draws on colonial imagery and ideology. This view is based on the memoir’s representation of nostalgia and belonging in southern Africa. This article challenges some of these notions and suggests that the question is whether the memoir performs or portrays colonial ideology, and in what ways. Furthermore, “settler discourse” has not been properly defined in this context, despite being widely applied. Redefining settler discourse in the context of Fuller’s memoir raises questions about white Zimbabwean writing in general, and demonstrates how inherently controversial the literature remains. Fuller’s narrative voice, which switches between that of the child and the adult, is central to the analysis. My discussion shows that the child’s voice performs Rhodesian discourse to a large extent, but that the adult narrator merely portrays such discourse and ideology.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"23 1","pages":"73 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125441.2018.1491620","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47809276","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 discusses these meanings through an analysis of the subjectivities projected in John Kani's play Nothing but the Truth (published in 2002). This play is one of the few theatrical projects that boldly address the elastic concepts of (dis)locations and disjunctures, memory, and reconciliation both spatially and temporally. Zakes Mda asserts that “the past will always be a powerful presence in the present” (Nothing but the Truth. Johannesburg: University of Witwatersrand Press, 2002, 3) and concludes that Kani's play intricately unpacks the perplexities of freedom. Freedom ceases to be perceived as a monolithic experience: it is as personal as it is socio-political and as vexed as it is taken for granted. Post-apartheid experiences convey a lot more than dreams of freedom. Arjun Appadurai's concept of “vernacular globalization” is used to frame this article.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"23 1","pages":"47 - 59"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125441.2018.1483417","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44272718","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}

I use the term “literary journalism” to foreground the generic instability of Krog’s texts, which weave together journalism, memoir, travel writing, social commentary, the poetic, and fictional elements. In Krog’s writing, the form, style, and structure of her texts are as important in the process of creating meaning as her language choices and content. By writing at the messy, contested border between literature and journalism, Krog is able to explore the intangible and affective aspects of identity and belonging. I conclude by suggesting that, as Krog moves from a preoccupation with “the voice” and “the body” to the concept of “skin”, she is able to draw on the notion of the “in-between” to address her most pressing concerns surrounding questions of white identity and national belonging.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"23 1","pages":"21 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125441.2018.1508246","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45783745","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 the work of both poets, the reader encounters contemporary South African black womxn subjects, constructed in the matrix of global coloniality. The works articulate issues of identity and belonging, with which many young South Africans are undoubtedly grappling. Both poets identify, interrogate, and resist what might be termed the realms of coloniality—namely coloniality of power, coloniality of knowledge, and coloniality of being—in a process of “unlearning”. A close reading of the themes and aesthetics of these two poets suggests that the site of enunciation for the speaking subjects that emerge is located at the fault lines between two or more very divergent knowledge frameworks.","PeriodicalId":41487,"journal":{"name":"Scrutiny2-Issues in English Studies in Southern Africa","volume":"23 1","pages":"35 - 46"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/18125441.2018.1505937","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46482951","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}
