  • Summertime (David Attwell)
    Trauma, Memory and Narrative in the Contemporary South African Novel Abstracts “ To speak of this you would need the tongue of a god” : On Representing the Trauma of Township Violence (Derek Attridge) It is winter, 1986, on the Cape Flats, and the elderly white lady finds that she cannot produce words equal to the horror of the scene she is witnessing in the shanty­town, where the shacks of the inhabitants are being burned by vigilantes. In J. M. Coetzee’s 1990 novel Age of Iron, the author himself does, of course, describe the scene, reflecting in his choice of language Mrs Curren’s familiarity with classical literature and its accounts of traumatic events. It is an outsider’s description, evincing bafflement as well as shock. For what we are invited to read as an insider’s description of a similar scene occurring ten years earlier, we can turn to The Long Journey of Poppie Nongena, Elsa Joubert’s transcription/rewriting of a black woman’s experiences as narrated to her over a two­year period and first published in Afrikaans in 1978. This paper will compare the narrative strategies of the two authors in attempting to represent the trauma of township violence – marked not just by savage actions but by confusion as to who is friend and who is enemy – and consider the theoretical implications of their choices. Trauma Refracted: J.M. Coetzee’s Summertime (David Attwell) J.M. Coetzee’s Summertime completes a cycle of autobiographical fictions which begins with Boyhood and continues with Youth. In the third and most recent of these works, the protagonist begins publishing his early fiction.

  • A Postmodernist Reading of Nadine Gordimer’S None to Accompany Me and Gillian Slovo’S Red Dust
    International Journal of Humanities, Art and Social Studies (IJHAS), Vol. 2, No.2/3 MULTICULTURALISM AND NATIONHOOD: A POSTMODERNIST READING OF NADINE GORDIMER’S NONE TO ACCOMPANY ME AND GILLIAN SLOVO’S RED DUST. Eric Nsuh Zuhmboshi The University of Yaounde I (Cameroon) Department of African Literature and Civilisations ABSTRACT In order to forestall the trauma of the past, post-apartheid South African leadership has been legislating laws to reconcile cultural differences among its citizens in the hope of invigorating the spirit of nationhood. Thus for socio-political harmony to exist in this society, cultural pluralism and dialogue must be encouraged so that the different races and ethnic groups will see each other as part of the same nation. Using Nadine Gordimer’s None to Accompany Me and Gillian Slovo’s Red Dust, this paper verifies the place of multiculturalism in post-apartheid literary narratives and its influence in inculcating the spirit of national consciousness in South Africa. From the paradigm of postmodernist criticism, this paper sustains the premise that for social justice and harmony to reign in multicultural and multiracial societies, there should be the political will of state leadership to shun cultural exclusionism and articulate policies that will reconcile and accommodate cultural/racial differences thereby leading to what could be termed cultural ecumenicism. In other words, governmental policies in such societies should be directed towards bridging racial and ethnic cleavages in order to build a cosmopolitan society. KEYWORDS: nationhood, multiculturalism, postmodernist criticism, cultural ecumenicism, cosmopolitan society. INTRODUCTION In every human society, there is the tendency and temptation for one group to think that it is superior and more important than the others.

  • Ruth First: Lessons for a New Generation of African Scholars
    Ruth First: lessons for a new generation of African scholars by Tebello Letsekha∗ Abstract: The 17th of August 2012 marked the 30th anniversary of the untimely passing of South African sociologist Ruth First. Ruth First the investigative journalist and anti-apartheid activist is well-recognised as a celebrated and honoured figure in South Africa. This paper narrates the often untold story of First, the scholar, and the valuable scholastic contributions that she made. The paper also documents some of the lessons that can be drawn from her scholarship by a new generation of African scholars. As an academic, teacher and scholar First regarded her work as promoting a more just world; her scholarly work was informed and sharpened by her political activism. In allying herself with political movements such as the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, the Anti-Apartheid Movement in London and the Mozambique Liberation Front (Frelimo), First developed a kind of rationale for her intellectual labour. Engaging with her work as an intellectual and inserting her intellectual contributions – which like those of many African scholars have given way to debates from the global North – into curricula would perhaps be the real refutation of the assassin’s bomb. This engagement is also crucial because it extends much further than the prominent accolades which take the form of buildings and lectures established in her memory. Introduction Ruth Heloise First passed away on the 17th of August 1987, at her office in Eduardo Mondlane University in Maputo, Mozambique. The then 59 year old mother of three was killed by a letter bomb believed to have been sent to her office by the South African government.

    Benjamin Neumanni Benjamin Neumann Review of „Red Dust“ South Africa in Films University of Duisburg-Essen, Dr. Claudia Drawe pubished in cooperation with Düsseldorf 2007 Review of „Red Dust“ 1 Benjamin Neumanni Table of contents 1. Drum: Film review: More than telling Henry`s story 3 2. Film facts 12 3. references 13 Review of „Red Dust“ 2 Benjamin Neumanni Introduction: Red Dust (2004) South Africa some years after the end of apartheid. Three people are returning to the small dusty town of Smitsrivier. From New York comes South African- born lawyer Sarah Barcant (Hilary Swank), from a Cape Town prison former deputy-policeman Dirk Hendricks (Jamie Bartlett) and from the parliament politician Alex Mpondo (Chiwetel Ejiofor). And they all will face their own past... Red Dust first debuted on the cinema screens at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2004. The main theme of this festival was 'South Africa: Ten Years Later' . At the festival the new arising South African cinema was celebrated and also the tenth anniversary of the new South Africa after the end of apartheid. Ten South African made movies were shown to the audience. Three of these movies got a special screening. Thereby were Red Dust, the movie Yesterday (2004) and Hotel Rwanda (2004). Red Dust was receiving a stunning response by the audience at this festival. Was this response justified or not? Background: The Truth and Reconciliation Commission In 1995, one year after the end of the era of apartheid in South Africa, the Government of National Unity under president Nelson Mandela set up the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC).
