  • Cause of Death: the Role of Anthropology in the Enforcement of Human Rights
    Forward The Fellows Program in the Anthropology of Human Rights was initiated by the Committee for Human Rights (CfHR) in 2002. Positions provide recipients with strong experience in human rights work, possibilities for publication, as well as the opportunity to work closely with the Committee, government agencies, and human rights-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs). 2003 CfHR Research Fellow Erin Kimmerle is a graduate student in anthropology at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville. Kimmerle came to the position with a strong background in the practice of anthropology in international human rights. Between 2000 and 2001 she served on the forensic team of the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia in its missions in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia. In 2001 Kimmerle was made Chief Anthropologist of that team. Janet Chernela, Chair Emeritus (2001-2003) Cause of Death: The Role of Anthropology in the Enforcement of Human Rights Erin H.

  • Celebrating Afropolitan Identities? Contemporary African World Literatures in English
    Anglia 2017; 135(1): 159–185 Birgit Neumann* and Gabriele Rippl Celebrating Afropolitan Identities? Contemporary African World Literatures in English DOI 10.1515/anglia-2017-0010 Abstract: Against the background of today’s debate on Afropolitanism, this article discusses three contemporary African novels as instances of world literatures, focusing on their creative modelling of open, non-Eurocentric worlds in motion. Taking existing research in the field of world literature into account, we argue that the affective and effective uniqueness of world literatures only comes to the fore when considering their distinct power to creatively make worlds. We suggest understanding world literatures in terms of their capacity to create open, poly- centric worlds, which enmesh diverse places, multiple temporalities, situated practices and locally grounded experiences into open networks of reciprocal change. In theorizing world literatures as pluralized and multiple, we also try to overcome the privileging of western literature. The final section negotiates how these imaginative worlds interact, intersect and possibly collide with that world which is configured by labelling, marketing and canonizing a specific text as ‘world literature’. 1 “Being African in the World” In the last fifteen years or so a considerable number of diasporic African litera- tures have made their entry into the world literary space, reminding us once again of the complex and volatile dynamics underlying the making of world literatures. Comprising authors as diverse as Teju Cole, Taiye Selasi (born Taiye Tuakli- Wosornu), Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, NoViolet Bulawayo and Dinaw Mengestu, these “young and creative cosmopolitan African immigrants” (Hassan 2012: 3) have readily been subsumed by critics under the label ‘Afropolitan’.

Paradigms of Migration: The Flight and the Fall Abstract I: Il saggio analizza i paradigmi che defniscono l’esperienza della migrazio- ne nel romanzo di NoViolet Bulawayo (n. 1981, Zimbabwe), Abbiamo bisogno di nomi nuovi (trad. it. 2014), un esempio della nuova letteratura africana, (o ‘afropolitan’?). La migrazione verso gli Stati Uniti, vista dagli occhi di una ragazzina, assume il valore di un volo emancipatorio, soprattutto visti i falli- menti di altri fussi migratori interni (forzati), oltreconfne (Sudafrica), o per- sino verso l’Inghilterra. Per contrappunto, al volo si alterna il paradigma della caduta. La prima esperienza americana è la neve che cade, in seguito sarà l’inciampare nella lingua inglese a essere paragonato ad una caduta; infne, la caduta fsica e psichica dei migranti illegali nell’invisibilit di lavori indesi- derabili e nella ‘bugia’ (Mehta 2016) lascia il posto alla caduta nella psicosi e nel disordine mentale, visto attraverso gli studi di etnopsichiatria di Roberto Beneduce (2015-2016) e un recentissimo racconto sulla migrazione, di Maaza Mengiste, “This is What the Journey Does” (2018). Abstract II: This essay analyses paradigms of migration in We Need New Names (2013) by NoViolet Bulawayo (b. 1981, Zimbabwe), a recent example of new Afri- can (or ‘Afropolitan’?) literature. A teenager idealises migration to the United States as a fight to emancipation, if compared to internal fows of forcedly removed people, or unsuccessful fows to South Africa, or even to Britain.
