The real issue, for writers, is to find the right story, or at the very least to get the story right. This article takes a view of South Africa’s reconstituted public sphere after 1994 and finds it riddled with symptoms of criminal pathology. Crime writing’s generic inclinations come conveniently to hand, since the crime story typically sets out to pinpoint the ‘culprit,’ or, in the crime narrative’s implicitly wider terms, the sources of social and political perversity. This article sees such acts of writing as works of social detection; the underlying context that gives rise to them may be related to both immediate pressures on the ground and more extensive transnational conditions. The diagnostic works of crime writers refract a real but perverted transformation in which the postcolonies of the late modern world are awash with criminality despite a heightened preoccupation with law and (dis)order. In particular, the “criminalisation of the state” is hardly peculiar to South Africa, but rather a common feature of postcolonial polities, of which the post-apartheid state is but a belated example. Post-apartheid writing constitutes an investigation into, and a search for, the ‘true’ locus of civil virtue in decidedly disconcerting social conditions, in an overall context of transition. In the course of this article, two main operating principles in post-apafrtheid writing in general are discussed, namely ‘overplotting’ (crime writing; creative nonfiction); and ‘underplotting’ (“fiction’s response” to the abovementioned conditions).","PeriodicalId":52015,"journal":{"name":"Current Writing-Text and Reception in Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1013929X.2019.1618085","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45580722","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 years in-between 2008–2011, he presided over ACLALS.) All who attended academic gatherings during these periods, or in the previous decades, when he was a loyal and enthusiastic participant, will have had the chance to benefit from his knowledge in a number of areas, notably African literatures, but also from his cheerful generosity, his keen welcoming of young members into the field and his endless energy and creativity. Geoff’s vast contribution to our studies is also found in his own publications and through his editing of journals such as Matatu, and of the critical series “Cross/Cultures. Readings in the Post/Colonial Literatures and Cultures in English,” which he co-edited with Gordon Collier from 1990 and which holds such significant work for postcolonial studies. As members of the present EACLALS Board, we have shared many conferences, happy moments and worries with Geoff, and we are in shock at the news that this will not continue to be so. At this sad moment, we can only thank him publicly and most sincerely for his work and feel grateful that we shared interests and some part of his life with him. We will be dedicating a place in the EACLALS webpage to tributes to Geoff, as a much-deserved homage to an essential member. In grief, and in fond memory of Geoff and his multiple achievements.","PeriodicalId":52015,"journal":{"name":"Current Writing-Text and Reception in Southern Africa","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2019-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/1013929X.2019.1618083","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47819388","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}
