The Spectacle of Truth
The Worlding of the South African Novel
Subalternity and Scale in Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things
Reading subaltern agency in The God of Small Things (1997) according to environmentalist notions of “scale” produces more complex, potentially more empowering, refractions of subalternity than straightforwardly Marxist or postcolonial studies have afforded. I argue Velutha is both oppressed subaltern and prototypical eco-warrior of a new planetary order
Art and visual culture in Ivan Vladislavić’s Portrait with Keys
This article argues that South African author Ivan Vladislavić’s fictionalized memoir, Portrait with Keys: The City of Johannesburg Unlocked (2006), through its portrayal of visual culture and an enabling process of what the narrator, Vlad, calls “seeing and then seeing again” (2006: 89), “rehabilitates” (Coombes, 2003: 23) Johannesburg’s potentially alienating post-apartheid urban environment depicted in Portrait as having been indelibly inscrib…
J.M. Coetzee and the Paradox of Postcolonial Authorship
In her analysis of the South African novelist J. M. Coetzee's literary and intellectual career, Jane Poyner illuminates the author's abiding preoccupation with what Poyner calls the "paradox of postcolonial authorship". Writers of conscience or conscience-stricken writers of the kind Coetzee portrays, whilst striving symbolically to bring the stories of the marginal and the oppressed to light, always risk reimposing the very authority they seek t…
Cosmopolitanism and Fictions of “Terror”
With the end of apartheid, cultural commentators anticipated new directions in South African fiction that would place its narratives on a world stage, taking account of global concerns. The portrayal of “terror” is one such example. Yet in contemporary South African fictions of “terror”, this paper argues, postcolonial narratives embed anxieties that profoundly tie the local to the global. Indeed, in the two South African novels explored here, Zo…
Writing under pressure
Many critics have noticed a shift in emphasis in South African fiction from the public sphere of politics and protest during apartheid to the private sphere, post‐apartheid, to reflection and self‐questioning. Nevertheless, I argue, novelists are maintaining the principles of what I will call "engaged" writing, suggesting that the public/private dichotomy needs reformulating. Representations of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) serve …
