Crime takes place
Building on the early interests of scholars such as Hausladen (1995), recent academic writing on crime fiction has begun to give more credence to the significant role of place in the genre (see Schmid 2012), granting the form a sociocritical impact beyond assumed escapism. This article uses several krimi novels by Margie Orford to illustrate the genre's potential to move beyond descriptive “setting” in order to offer informed, located responses t…
Writing like life? ‘Life-like’ relation, femaleness and generic instability in Small moving parts
Small moving parts (Murray, 2009 Murray S (2009) Small moving parts, Cape Town: Kwela. [Google Scholar]) is a useful text through which to raise questions about women's writing, life writing and the re-presentation of female experience and subjectivity. The story of a white working-class Durban family of mother and two daughters, the book not only situates femaleness within a marginal white community uneasily located in apartheid, it foregrounds …
Lyric↔L/language
Using the deliberately provocative strategies of “essaying” and “error”, which have become central to the poetry and poetics of women experimental writers such as Kathleen Fraser, Lyn Hejinian and Rachel Blau DuPlessis, this essay charts the writer's slow understanding that lyric voice and linguistic-formal experimentalism in writing by women poets form a problematic, yet productive, interrelation. Lyric, suggests Kinnahan, is at once an apparent…
Ivan Vladislavić and what‐what
This essay is an experimental quodlibet on some recent Johannesburg imaginative writing. It works outwards from a creative ‘overview’ of Ivan Vladislavić's position in South African literature to a perspective on versions of citiness represented by newer, black authors such as Niq Mhlongo and Phaswane Mpe. Unable to deny the neighbourly appeal of Vladislavić's signature ‘white writing’, however, I turn to a discussion of Portrait with Keys: Johan…
On Ivan Vladislavić on Willem Boshoff on conceptual art
This paper uses Ivan Vladislavić's monograph Willem Boshoff, published by David Krut in the TAXI Art Series, as a means to explore the idea of art in relation to Vladislavić's prose. I attend to the representation of art ‘in’ a number of his works, and refer to his increasing body of critical work ‘on’ art, but the emphasis is on investigating his writing ‘as’ art. To this end, I acknowledge existing critical observations concerning Vladislavić's…
Relationships Between Population Density and the Perceived Quality of Neighbourhood
Working for Water's ‘AlienBusters’
This article analyses aspects of the ‘AlienBusters’ campaign against ‘invasive aliens’, initiated in 2000 by Working for Water in an attempt to communicate to a broad South African public the urgent national responsibility for the control of invasive alien plants. The campaign was envisaged by the South African Department of Water Affairs and Forestry as a creative intervention in the government's management of environmental issues because it use…

Achille Mbembe and Sarah Nuttall (eds). 2004. Public Culture 16(3), Special Issue, "Johannesburg: The Elusive Metropolis". Durham NC: Duke University Press. The general claim of "Johannesburg: The Elusive Metropolis" is that this city is influential by virtue of a human possibility presently in formation. This human potential is reconfiguring the limitations of the apartheid spatial inheritance, the volatility of the democratic street, and the ap…

An academic milling around ‘the mall’
English studies and cultural power
This paper suggests that the shifts of content and practice which characterise South African English studies are attributable to certain multicultural imperatives, the least acknowledged of which is the mass media. Yet I do not perceive English and cultural studies to be synonymous. While recognising that the “literary” is a category constructed in conflictual relation to other discourses, I argue for an English studies which, unlike many cultura…
