摘要

Chirikure Chirikule以其对政治经济不端行为的坚定批评而闻名，他还关注了Rukuvhute（1990）和Hakurarwi（1998）中过去的Shona实践和价值观。本文运用以非洲为中心的方法，分析了他在诗歌选集中对这些价值观和实践的刻画。报告指出，他利用了几种技巧来批评对他所认为的“维持生命”的做法和价值观的否定。然而，在鲁库夫胡特，他对遵守过去做法和价值观的渴望和希望似乎不再可能。在《哈库拉维》中，他对未来的悲观描绘给读者留下了弱点。这篇文章敦促艺术家帮助社会从过去选择最佳实践和价值观，并对他们的生活方式保持希望。

What Ado About Culture? Chirikure’s Exposition of Past Shona Practices and Values in Selected Zimbabwean Post-independence Poems

Known for his unwavering criticism of politico-economic misdemeanours, Chirikure Chirikure also focuses on past Shona practices and values in Rukuvhute (1990) and Hakurarwi (1998). Using the Afrocentricity approach, this article analyses his portrayal of these values and practices in selected poems. It observes that he exploits several techniques to criticise the repudiation of what he regards as “life-sustaining” practices and values. However, in Rukuvhute his yearning and hope for the observance of past practices and values seems no longer possible. In Hakurarwi his bleak portrayal of the future strikes the reader as a weakness. The article urges artists to assist society choose best practices and values from the past and as well to remain hopeful in their approach to life.

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.
