摘要

摘要非洲文学文本的数字迭代提供了学术机会,可以质疑在数字媒体上制作和传播的文学是如何与数据化的资本主义政治纠缠在一起的。在文章中描述的数据范式中,文学表征受制于新自由主义资本的运作和算法系统的约束。通过将数字人文与非洲文学研究进行对话的后殖民方法,这篇文章超越了数字技术如何明显改变非洲文学,并解决了非洲数字文学文化和网络的成本问题。我通过非洲文学文化来研究数据关系,目前,非洲文学文化无可争议地展示了新的复杂元素的实现,包括在文本的生产和批判性接收中整合数字可供性。数字时代的非洲文学表达是如何在Facebook和YouTube等市场驱动的数字平台上传播的,这使得数据资本主义或数据殖民主义的主题对非洲文学的重要性与数字所带来的扩大的文学网络一样重要。

Digital African Literatures and the Coloniality of Data
Abstract Digital iterations of African literary texts present scholarly opportunities to interrogate how literature produced and circulated on digital media becomes entangled with the capitalist politics of datafication. In the data paradigm described in the article, literary representations are subject to the workings of neoliberal capital and the constraints of algorithmic systems. Through a postcolonial approach that puts the digital humanities in conversation with African literary studies, the article transcends how digital technologies have evidently changed African literature and tackles the costs of digital literary cultures and networks from Africa. I examine data relations through an African literary culture, which, in the current moment, indisputably exhibits the attainment of new and complex elements including the integration of digital affordances in the production and critical reception of texts. How African literary expressions in a digital age circulate in market-driven digital platforms like Facebook and YouTube makes the subjects of data capitalism or the coloniality of data as important for African literature as the expanded literary networks enabled by the digital.
