It has proven to be an apt framework for scrutinizing literary productions by diasporic authors who, through their unique positionality had acquired cultural insight into their country and their fictional representations gain additional credibility. This credibility is a legacy of centuries of Orientalist discourse which dominated the way knowledge was produced about the Orient and its peoples via political speeches, scientific works, travel literature and fiction. In this article, we aim to illustrate how a diasporic author, Amulya Malladi in her The Mango Season (2003) exemplifies how Orientalism was perpetrated by an Oriental author. The novel not only makes use of Orientalist tropes commonly used in literary representations of the Orient but also positions its protagonist and narrator as a distant observer who regards her own country as an exotic destination where she cannot feel a sense of belonging.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"76 - 91"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/SCR.2021.0004","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41652249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The novel contends that people don't help because they don't know, don't care, or aren't moved enough to act. It proposes that powerful storytelling can make people aware, care, and act. It embodies this solution by telling a moving story of Valentino, who needs help. At the same time, however, the novel is uncertain if skillful storytelling about those in need will be enough.I argue that What is the What's solutions to its two key concerns, while admirable, ultimately fall short because the novel overlooks a key factor that affects whether we meet our moral duties to humanity—our picture of morality. Our standard picture of morality codes and socializes us to fulfill our duties to family first, nation next, and finally humanity. This key insight is provided by Alexandre Lefebvre's Human Rights as a Way of Life: On Bergson's Political Philosophy (2013), an interpretation of Henri Bergson's The Two Sources of Morality and Religion (1935). This article contributes to a gap in the scholarship on What is the What as well as the scholarship on literature and human rights that to date has predominantly focused on the aesthetics and ethics of representing human wrongs rather than the conditions that might allow for the righting of those wrongs","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"38 1","pages":"1 - 100 - 101 - 104 - 105 - 107 - 108 - 110 - 111 - 112 - 113 - 113 - 23 - 24 - 36 - 37 - 57 - 58 -"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/SCR.2021.0000","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45308556","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It considers pleasure represented in, and provided to audiences by, commercial cultural forms from Africa, which are expanding the boundaries of African subjectivity, the African future, and as I discuss here, African feminism. Pushing against the current of the dominant gender discourse, the Ghanaian media company Sparrow Productions has pioneered women-centered content built around the new Ghanaian women, a feminist ideal who is unapologetically passionate about and takes pleasure in her career, and who seeks sexual pleasure without shame and despite censure. Drawing on feminist theory as well as on Michel Foucault’s notion of the entrepreneurial subject, this article attends to the relations between pleasure and power as imagined in screen media made by Shirley Frimpong-Manso’s Sparrow Productions. It situates Sparrow Productions historically to better appreciate the advances and limitations represented by Sparrow’s new Ghanaian woman.","PeriodicalId":42938,"journal":{"name":"South Central Review","volume":"37 1","pages":"15 - 4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1353/scr.2020.0011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47226929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
