  • Roy Campbell, John Davidson, and "The Tlaming Terrapin"
    Roy Campbell, John Davidson, and "The Tlaming Terrapin" D. S. J. PARSONS IN MANY WAYS, John Davidson (1857-igog), a contributor to The Yellow Book and a member of the Rhymers' Club, was a typical late Victorian minor poet. Tennysonian and Pre-Raphaelite echoes abound in his collections of ballads, songs, and "Fleet Street" eclogues; continually his work is shot through with strains of Thomas Carlyle, Lord Byron, Walter Pater, and Oscar Wilde. Occasionally, however, he exhibited modernity in his use of language and choice of subject matter. Both T. S. Eliot and Hugh McDiarmid acknowledged the influence upon them of this as• pect of Davidson's poetry.1 In his comments, McDiarmid also indicated approvingly how a forceful individualism and a pas• sionately exacting temperament led Davidson in the last phase of his career to produce a poetry that treated science within a framework of Nietzschean and materialist philosophy. Another admirer of Davidson was the South African poet Roy Campbell.2 He too was especially struck by these last works of Davidson's, with results that are demonstrable in The Flaming Terrapin. As a youth at Oxford in ìgig, Roy Campbell had read Nietzsche eagerly and from then on was greatly affected by his ideas.3 One of the major results of Campbell's desire to convey Nietzsche's spirit and views in his own writing was his search for possible models expressive of Nietzsche in the work of other writers, principally Bernard Shaw and John Davidson. Shaw drew from Nietzsche in combining the doctrine of the superman with creative evolution and Davidson did so in linking heroic vitalism with materialism.

  • The Moral Aporia of Race in International Relations by Drawing Attention to the Imperialism Embedded in Much Liberal Thought

In reviewing several prominent periods of the past 100 years, I argue that (a) a powerful, ongoing moral aporia regarding race has marked the practice of international politics and the study of international relations over the century, despite important challenges and (b) it is critically important for the field as a whole to confront both the aporia and these challenges to understand its own moral precarity and to dent ongoing racialized injustices. Keywords aporia, colonialism, international politics, international relations, morality, race, racism Introduction: the aporia of (hidden) conviction1 My simple task in this contribution is to address and analyze morality in international relations (IR) over the past 100 years. I say ‘simple’, because the review process has poked a number of conceptual bears that each comprise layers and layers of assumptions about theories of international relations and practices of international politics (IP). Thoroughly investigating processes of socialization and resocialization in the field or discipline, and also providing openings to potentially new ontologies cannot be tackled in a single article, especially one that, according to the editors’ instructions, should make ‘big statements about critical themes’.

Abstract Since the transition from apartheid, there has been much discussion of the possibilities for the emergence of a truly ‘national’ literature in South Africa. This thesis joins the debate by arguing that Black Consciousness, a movement that began in the late 1960s, provided the intellectual framework both for understanding how a national culture would develop and for recognising it when it emerged. Black Consciousness posited a South Africa where formerly competing cultures sat comfortably together. This thesis explores whether such cultural equality has been achieved. Does contemporary literature harmoniously deploy different cultural idioms simultaneously? By analysing Black writing, mainly poetry, from the 1970s through to the present, the study traces the stages of development preceding the emergence of a possible ‘national’ literature and argues that the dominant art versus politics binary needs to be reconsidered.

    Untitled Document THE MOMENTS OF `VOORSLAG' AND `SESTIGER' IN OUR LITERARY HISTORY by Ntongela Masilela Always historicize! . But, as the traditional dialectic teaches us, the historicizing operation can follow two distinct paths, which only ultimately meet in the same place: the path of the object and the path of the subject, the historical origins of the things themselves and that more intangible historicity of the concepts and categories by which we attempt to understand those things. -Fredric Jameson, THE POLITICAL UNCONSCIOUS, p. 9. Since this presentation has been requested by the Conference Organizers, especially Robert Kriger, as a statement to facilitate a discussion, rather than as an exposition defining a particular literary problematic and in relation to which develop a thorough thesis or definitive statement, it will be short and elliptical and throwing out ideas for consideration. In many ways, to consider the literary moments of `Voorslag' and `Sestigers' from the perspective of today, that is, from the perspective informed of the political certainty that the victory of the democratic forces in South Africa is just around the corner, though complicated and complex, is to consider the theoretical constructs and cultural forms in the writing of a particular era of our literary history. How can one possibly theorize the cultural processes and cultural formation of South African literary history! The structure of South African literary history in the twentieth century is characterised by disconnections, discontinuities, abrupt breaks and seemingly irreconcilable ruptures. It is not difficult to see that the political determinants of this tragic process in our cultural history are largely and wholly determined, in their form and effect, by the political philosophy and ideology of Apartheid.

  • Olivia Manning's Gulliver in the Balkans
    AIC nr. 18 2/2016 British Travellers Stick ©2016 AIC Together – Olivia Manning’s Gulliver in the Balkans ILEANA OANA MACARI Universitatea „Alexandru Ioan Cuza”, Iaşi This paper involves discovering how Olivia Manning’s Balkan Trilogy has mapped the image of Romania and mostly draws upon the sections of the trilogy in which pre-war Bucharest was memorialized as a blend of Orient and Occident, where the native population coexists with an amalgam of various other nations. Upon the exa mination of Harriet Pringle, the central figure of the sequence, it becomes clear that there is a connection to Swift’s Gulliver in that both characters embark on a process of “literary colonisation”. This focus establishes Manning’s place among the British travel writers by reviewing the main ideas that stem from the substantial body of work concerned with her trilogy. The article makes frequent reference back to Olivia Manning’s biography, since her narrative is admittedly based on the writer’s personal odyssey in Bucharest. Through identifying the crossover character of Manning’s prose, this research highlights its relevance for the fictional construct. Keywords: centre; margin; alterity; literary colonization; Gulliver syndrome. Introduction Olivia Manning’s most notorious works, The Balkan Trilogy1 and The Levant Trilogy2, known collectively as Fortunes of War, are, paradoxically, at the same time much discussed and quasi-un- read. Although the collection was made famous by the 1987 BBC television adaptation Fortunes of War, a series that followed the original works relatively faithfully, Manning’s novels themselves (the trilogies included) have never enjoyed from the readership the enthusiastic reception their author felt they deserved3.
