摘要

给一件艺术作品颁发奖项是为了传达这件作品在世界上的价值。但艺术奖项总是会引发一些难以轻易回答的问题:奖项的目的是什么?当我们选择一本书而不是另一本书时，会提升什么样的生活愿景?评委们是如何做出选择的呢?这个回答部分讲述了评审一个文学奖的过程，以及是什么影响了决策过程。我把这种练习定义为一种启发性的沉浸在南非出版的文学作品的情绪和感觉中。

Feeling towards the Contemporary: Judging New South African Fiction

The awarding of a prize to a work of art is meant to convey something about the value of that work in the world. But art prizes always provoke questions that evade easy answering: what purpose do prizes serve? What visions of life are promoted when we choose one book over another? How do the judges arrive at their choices? This response tells a partial story about the process of judging a literary award and what informs the event of decision-making. I frame the exercise as an illuminating immersion in the mood and feeling of the literature currently being published in South Africa.

期刊介绍： Current Writing: Text and Reception in Southern Africa is published bi-annually by Routledge. Current Writing focuses on recent writing and re-publication of texts on southern African and (from a ''southern'' perspective) commonwealth and/or postcolonial literature and literary-culture. Works of the past and near-past must be assessed and evaluated through the lens of current reception. Submissions are double-blind peer-reviewed by at least two referees of international stature in the field. The journal is accredited with the South African Department of Higher Education and Training.
