Introduction
Dialogic remembering as method
This article develops a method for understanding and activating relationality in practices of sharing memories in groups. Our conceptualization of this approach, which we have called “dialogic remembering,” is grounded in empirical research on memories of the 1980s–1990s postsocialist “transitions” as a case of a recent past that has been increasingly instrumentalized for political contestation but that comprises multifaceted “living memories.” T…

Reanimating/Resisting Late Soviet Monstrosity
Remembering late socialism through child perspectives in (auto)fictional writing has been a prominent practice in contemporary Russian literature. In particular, the early 1980s focalized by young protagonists have become the subject of three recent novels, by Alexei Ivanov, Shamil’ Idiatullin and Alexander Arkhangelsky. This article closely examines one of these novels, Alexei Ivanov’s Pischeblok [The Food Unit] published in 2016, asking how it …
Performances of motherhood and migration
Despite the growing currency of migrant experiences among African women and the prominence of motherhood in reflections on African womanhood, literature and the performing arts have rarely addressed the challenges of mothering and migration together. Engaging with responses to these challenges in South African theatre, this article discusses representations of motherhood and mother–daughter relations in Yaёl Farber’s A Woman in Waiting and Magnet…
Political killings in the contemporary world
This essay offers a reading of South African Anglophone play, Sizwe Bansi is Dead, through biopolitical lenses, with a view to shedding light on dis-embodied political killings prompted by racism in the contemporary world, and to interrogating the means by which these murders are recurrently restructured and justified. Although the play is under the spotlight of scholarly attention, it is scarcely read through biopolitical lenses, especially thro…
Confronting disillusionment
In recent years, South African literature, art, and cultural criticism have been registering the feelings of disappointment, nostalgia, and of a general impasse that signify a crisis of postapartheid imaginations. At the same time, we can observe a turn in cultural production toward reexamining South Africa’s socialist archives and reconnecting them to the present-day predicaments and emerging social movements. Reading these processes in Imraan C…
Anything is Possible’
The metaphor of transition has produced one of the most powerful images that captured the global historical momentum of the late twentieth century. Even though its teleological implications have been critiqued, we still live in the shadow of transition, or rather its incipient failures, as the global media represent countries that embarked on processes of transformation as relapsing and returning to primordial states. This article inquiries into …
African studies at a crossroads
African studies in South Africa is currently at a crossroads – of making choices in the process of establishing itself institutionally and reconstituting itself as a discursive and epistemological field, including an interrogation of its histories and a decolonisation of its scholarly legacies. But being at a crossroads does not imply being at a loss; on the contrary, for African studies it means realising its potential of being a hub of critical…
Svetlana Boym. Budushchee nostal'gii. M
«Будущее ностальгии» Светланы Бойм – одна из самых известных работ в области исследований памяти, оказавшая со времени ее публикации в 2001 году огромное влияние на изучение форм и практик переживания и выражения тоски, желания вернуть прошлое (или вернуться в него) и ощущения неадекватности настоящего. Написанная на английском языке и получившая признание во всем мире, книга «вернулась» к российскому читателю в переводе Александра Стругача тольк…
