New Literatures: Africa, Antonio Simoes Da Silva, Femi Abodunrin

Some significant items from 2007 re noted here as they were unavailable for review in time for the previous volume. Tejumade Olaniyan and Ato Quayson, eds., African Literature: An anthology of Criticism and Theory, chronicles the evolution of African literature as 'a propelling force in the growth of more global studies such as postcolonial literary and cultural studies'. However, the editors lament that while the continent's literature has grown in volume and reputation in the past few decades, African literary criticism and theory have attained far more modest degrees of recognition and success, especially in Europe and North America, even …

Under New Management: Whiteness In Post-Apartheid South African Life Writing, Antonio Simoes Da Silva
Tony Simoes da Silva
Alfred J. Lopez begins his introduction to postcolonial Whiteness: A Critical Reader on Race and Empire by stating "Whiteness is not, yet we continue for many reasons to act as though it is" (1). He is especially interested in "what happens to whiteness after empire," and proposes that it be understood as a dynamic relation of power. Despite the critical scrutiny it has attracted from whiteness studies, the racial category retains much of its ideological force. "The concept of whiteness as a cultural hegemon," Lopez argues, is manifest in "its lingering, if somewhat latent, hegemonic influence over much of the …

We're One And Many: Remembering Auto/Biographically: The Year's Work In Non-Fiction 2008-2009, Antonio Simoes Da Silva
Tony Simoes da Silva
This year as in years past, the story of self told by self or other is strongly represented in this article review, and ranges from Brian Dibble’s impressive and endlessly fascinating biography of Elizabeth Jolley, to the earnest memoir of Paul Crittenden, crafted with integrity but a little too much attention to the dross of life, to Kim E. Beazley Sr. monotonous but historically worthy recording of his time as a politician who attained high office at state and federal level.

Literature As Social Barometer In Post-Apartheid South Africa: Reading Contemprorary 'White Writing', Antonio Simoes Da Silva
Literature As Social Barometer In Post-Apartheid South Africa: Reading Contemprorary 'White Writing', Antonio Simoes Da Silva
Tony Simoes da Silva
Contemporary South African literature shows a renewed concern with the close bonds between land, place and people in the New South Africa. In the post-apartheid period, this is literature that reflects a close awareness of the need for an art that retains both a sense of creative integrity and the ethical and political demands of the narrative of the new, postapartheid nation. Often history is invoked not as the deterministic frame that regulates each character’s lives typical of so much of the country’s literature, but as the accumulated mesh of individual experiences encompassed by the historical narrative. More to the …

Paper(Less) Selves : The Refugee In Contemporary Textual Culture, Tony Simoes Da Silva
Tony Simoes da Silva
Refugees, the human waste of the global frontier-land, are the 'outsiders incarnate', the absolute outsiders, outsiders everywhere and out of place everywhere except in places that are themselves out of place - the 'nowhere places' that appear on the maps used by ordinary humans on their travels. (Zygmunt Bauman 2004 80)
Embodied Genealogies And Gendered Violence In Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Writing, Antonio Simoes Da Silva
Embodied Genealogies And Gendered Violence In Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's Writing, Antonio Simoes Da Silva
Tony Simoes da Silva
This essay examines two recent novels by the Nigerian writer, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie,Purple Hibiscus ([2003] 2005) andHalf a YellowSun (2006), placing themfirst in a dialogue with each other, and more broadly with selected Nigerian writing on the Biafra conflict. Arguing with Adesanmi that Adichie belongs to a ‘third generation’ of African literary work, it traces the novels’ work of historical revisionism through gendered and embodied discourses of pain and violence. Adichie returns the reader to an aesthetics of excess firmly grounded on potently disturbing images of the ‘body in pain’, in Elaine Scarry’s memorable phrase (1983): the battered, bruised and …

Special Issue: Australian Literature In A Global World - Introduction, Wenche Ommundsen, Tony Simoes Da Silva
Tony Simoes da Silva
This Special Issue of JASAL is based on the 2008 ASAL conference ‘Australian Literature in a Global World’ at the University of Wollongong, the conference theme in turn inspired by an ARC Discovery project, ‘Globalising Australian Literature’, currently conducted by a team of researchers at the same institution. The overall (and hugely ambitious) aim of both conference and research project was to explore the effects, on the national literature, of different aspects of globalisation: transnational flows of people, ideas and cultural forms; globalisation in the publishing and education industries; the global marketplace for cultural production. The papers tap into a …

Introduction: Currents, Cross-Currents, Undercurrents, Frances Devlin-Glass, Tony Simoes Da Silva

The similarities in an issue such as this one are often purely serendipitous; JASAL 10 brings together work submitted to a general, non-thematic issue and it should not surprise that the range of material is very diverse. Yet on occasion there are obvious points of contact between the various pieces and that is certainly the case here. The subtitle we have given to this brief Introduction seeks to capture some of the ways in which the essays interrelate, both complementing (and supplementing) each other and complicating particular readings. Essays included here range from critical examinations of well-known works, as is …
Myths, Traditions And Mothers Of The Nation: Some Thoughts On Efua Sutherland’S Writing, Tony Simoes Da Silva
Myths, Traditions And Mothers Of The Nation: Some Thoughts On Efua Sutherland’S Writing, Tony Simoes Da Silva
Tony Simoes da Silva
Focusing in some detail on three of her plays, this paper addresses the work of Efua Theodora Sutherland, arguably one of Ghana’s foremost literary figures, and one of Africa’s most influential dramatists. Specifically, the paper proposes that in spite of a considerable body of critical work devoted to her writing, she remains surprisingly little known outside the specialist fields of African literature, and indeed even theatre. I will then seek to relate this assertion to her status as a woman writer in Africa, and to the challenges her conflation of traditional African cultural forms and Western dramaturgy create. Sutherland incorporates …
