Artistic Synergism And Disruptive Continuity In Nol Alembong's "The Beginning", Oscar C. Labang Jun 2015

Artistic Synergism And Disruptive Continuity In Nol Alembong's "The Beginning", Oscar C. Labang

Dr. Oscar C. Labang

The analytical trajectory of this paper narrows the general, complex and complicated spectrum of intertextuality discourses to a form of intertextual reworking and playfulness, which is called narrative intertextuality. It examines the intertextual matrix upon which the Anglophone Cameroon poet, Nol Alembong, engages a dialogue between texts from different cultural, mythological, philosophical and narratological perspectives. Through textual exegeses of the short poem “The Beginning”, this paper argues that Alembong develops a poetic narrative on the frame of older narratives not necessarily to invite the reader to contemplate the old text but intriguingly to situate the poetic piece within the collective …

Where they were straight, and strong, he was twisted, and weak. He had been born, with a birth defect that twisted his spine, and caused him to have a hump in his back. He walked different than the other children, and that caused him to be late to numerous classes, as well as, didn't allow him to participate in a lot of physical activities. The only reason he hadn't been destroyed at birth, was because …

Decolonising Spaces And The Exemplary Life Of Tess Brill's Activism, Julie-Ann Paredes Jun 2011

Decolonising Spaces And The Exemplary Life Of Tess Brill's Activism, Julie-Ann Paredes

Julie-Ann Paredes

Statistics continue to show that quantifiable disadvantages still exist today between Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations in Australia, collectively referred to in common vernacular as ‘the gap’. This situation may be understood as an ongoing ‘echo factor’ of colonisation, but when ‘the gap’ is considered as metaphor, it may represent the ‘space of disconnect’ between Indigenous and non-Indigenous knowledges and ‘alternative ways of knowing the world.’ By exploring this space through a lens of reflexivity, this thesis will consider not only the links between Australia’s colonial past and status as a settler nation but the potential of reflexivity as a decolonising …
