Helene Strauss (HS): Thanks again for allowing me into the intricate spiritualmaterial work of "unburying" (2023, p. 55) that you do in Mine Mine Mine.The sacred alchemy by which you've turned the dust of South Africa's mines into this miracle of memory, rhythm, and sound, signals histories-in-waiting, an arrival in print of truths long ready to be told.The volume invites longoverdue scrutiny of mining as a site of racial, gendered, and environme…

Affective return
This paper turns to the critically entangled terms of form and feeling as a basis for exploring post-2012 South African protest and visual cultures. Against the backdrop of a newly ascendant political vernacular characterised by the reluctance to dichotomise emotion and reason in negotiating the terms of contemporary dissent, I examine specifically how the consequences of political disenchantment are affectively negotiated in and through document…
Marikana, Emoyeni, and the Chronopolitics of Happiness
On 16 August 2012, the South African Police Service opened fire on a group of striking miners at the Lonmin Platinum mine in Marikana, killing thirty-four and wounding a further seventy-eight. This
Contemporary African Mediations of Affect and Access
Managing public feeling
This paper analyses Rehad Desai’s documentary film Miners Shot Down in an effort to chart some of the ways in which public feelings were managed in both the run-up to and the aftermath of the Marikana massacre in South Africa. I suggest that the affective and temporal dimensions of current attempts at containing perceived threats to financial and political stability on the part of South Africa’s business and political elite are key to understandi…
Contemporary orientations in African Cultural Studies
This paper offers a glimpse of work generated by the 2014 John Douglas Taylor conference on ‘Contemporary Orientations in African Cultural Studies’. The conference generated a number of inquiries into the time and place of contemporary African cultural work, many of which theorised beyond the frameworks that postcolonial and globalisation studies frequently offer. Within the shifting paradigms of Cultural Studies, the work of this conference (as …
Contemporary African mediations of affect and access
Across Africa, new affective collectivities are shifting the terms within which access to economic opportunity, social belonging, and political agency have historically been understood. Recent years have seen powerful waves of civic mobilization sweep across the continent. Other, less prominent articulations of contemporary political desire have also found expression through the diffuse experiences of the African everyday and its cultural registe…
Spectacles of Promise and Disappointment
This paper reframes post-apartheid everyday life against the backdrop of the spectacles of promise and disappointment that have characterized South African public culture in the transitional and post-transitional periods. Inspired by recent work in the field of affect theory that reads negative affect as a potential political resource, I consider iconographies of struggle and difficult emotions in an effort to study disappointment as a form of po…
Postcolonial Intimacies
Energized by cross-disciplinary investigations, the field of intimacy studies generates epistemological sites akin to what Ann Laura Stoler, following Foucault's writing on the instrumentality of s

Comment évaluer une personne ? L'expertise judiciaire et ses usages moraux
L’expertise psychiatrique est un instrument d’évaluation devenu indispensable dans le champ judiciaire tout en étant régulièrement contesté. Comment comprendre ce paradoxe apparent ? En décrivant, répond l’article, comment le droit formalise une partie de la morale autour de la catégorie de personne. À partir d’une étude de cas fondée sur une observation des usages de l’expertise dans une chambre correctionnelle, la première partie montre comment…
Squirming White Bodies
This article explores some of the ways in which “whiteness” as a set of discourses is being revised in the post-apartheid cultural imagination. Through a reading of a comic strip by Anton Kannemeyer and of Ivan Vladislavić's novel The Restless Supermarket (2001), the article considers specifically the manner in which performances of whiteness are represented as responding to the pressures felt at the site of the post-apartheid interracial encount…
Listening Otherwise
From Afrikaner to African
Recent scholarship on race in South Africa reveals that post‐1994 performances of whiteness are plagued by considerable anxiety. Shifts in identification that have been taking place under the sign of whiteness since the end of minority rule can be ascribed, in part, to the fact that previously sanctioned stagings of whiteness are increasingly registered as untenable in the everyday post‐apartheid inter‐racial encounter. In the shadow of these cha…
Les enfants du voyage à l'école
Améliorer la scolarisation des enfants issus des communautés tsiganes nécessite de travailler en partenariat. Depuis trois ans, l’Académie de Strasbourg affiche cette volonté. Le cravie a mis au point et prête des outils pédagogiques qui facilitent l’entrée dans les apprentissages pour ces enfants, ainsi que la gestion de la classe pour les enseignants. La formation et l’information restent des clés de voûte de compréhension mutuelle, qui détermi…
