Of Dommes and Night Queens
This article analyses the representations of kink and BDSM in two non-BDSM mainstream games in the Ryu Ga Gotoku franchise, known in the West as Yakuza and Like a Dragon: Yakuza 0 (Ryu ga Gotoku Studio, 2015) and Yakuza: Like a Dragon (Ryu ga Gotoku Studio, 2020). For this purpose, this paper adapts a methodology of myth-analysis and the identification of recurrent motifs to analyse the discourses that these games generate around kink and BDSM as…
Ludomythologies
Spaces of Self and Madness
This article analyses the two feature-length films by Signe Baumane, Rocks in My Pockets (2014) and My Love Affair with Marriage (2022). For this purpose, this article discusses theories of autofiction and its representation in different forms and media and pays particular attention to the potential of animation to represent fictionalized selves. Drawing on genre and gender theories, as well as the study of memory and self, this article shows how…
Zadie Smith and Postcolonial Trauma
This monograph analyses Zadie Smith’s White Teeth, On Beauty, NW, The Embassy of Cambodia, and Swing Time as trauma fictions that reveal the social, cultural, historical, and political facets of trauma. Starting with Smith’s humorous critique of psychoanalysis and her definition of original trauma, this volume explores Smith’s challenge of Western theories of trauma and coping, and how her narratives expose the insidiousness of (post)colonial suf…
Transience and Waiting in Mohsin Hamid'sExit West
This article explores the central themes in Mohsin Hamid’s Exit West (2017) by focusing on the complexities of finding oneself placeless and seeking refuge in an unwelcoming global world with porous borders. It examines different aspects of the experience of time, such as transience and waiting, by drawing on postcolonial and refugee studies and theoretical approaches to vulnerability, time, and being. Set in an unnamed city in an unnamed country…

This article examines the role of intertextuality in Zadie Smith’s NW (2012) and the novel’s questioning of authorship, authenticity and identity. Relying on intertextual and postcolonial theories, the article lays bare how Smith’s novel questions the fixity and stability of selves and how she situates herself as an inherently intertextual author disrupted by others and potentially disruptive of (post)colonial ways of being and one that plays wit…
Who Made Your Phone? Compassion and the Voice of the Oppressed in Phone Story and Burn the Boards
Burn the Boards (Causa Creations, 2015) portrays the life of an Indian worker who recycles electronic waste in a precarious environment. Phone Story (Molleindustria, 2011) simulates the journey and process of production and consumption of mobile phones, from Congo and China to Pakistan. Whereas Phone Story is described as ‘an educational game’ that addresses the player directly as a consumer, Burn the Boards is a resource management puzzle that c…
Decolonizing Trauma
The present article analyses Zadie Smith’s short story “The Embassy of Cambodia” (2013) as a narrative that contributes to the decolonization of trauma studies. In the introduction I will lay out briefly the state of affairs in trauma studies and the relevance of trauma in Smith’s work as represented in White Teeth and NW. For the purpose of this paper, I will provide a close reading of “The Embassy of Cambodia” and I will rely on Michael Rothber…
