The Japanese Hornpipe: Creative Alteration and Palimpsestic Identity in the Whistling Tradition of Ireland
Irish traditional music is typically characterised as an ‘oral tradition’ which has been handed down from one generation to the next. Though the process of reworking has been considered central to its transmission, little consideration has thus far been given to the ways in which the music develops diachronically and what factors influence these performance decisions. Cottrell considers the act of performance as a palimpsest where traces of earli…

Jacob Rogozinski, The Logic of Hatred: From Witch Hunts to the Terror
With gripping archival detail, The Logic of Hatred scrutinizes the witch hunts and the Great Terror during the French Revolution to elaborate a theory and critique of what Jacob Rogozinski names the persecution apparatus. When this process is set into motion, sovereign power excludes and persecutes minoritized groups of humans deemed unworthy of inclusion, ultimately annihilating them. The author's purpose is to break the seemingly inexorable cyc…
Coral and Catastrophe
Drawing on Michaël Ferrier’s concept of the “coral writer,” this article uses the idea to think about catastrophe and the ways in which Ferrier writes unflinchingly about disasters, but never succumbs to hopelessness, preferring instead to think, as a coral writer, of the tenacious regeneration of natural things, human as much as non-human.Keywords: Michaël Ferriercoral writercatastrophedisasterregeneration(non)-human Notes1 Raoul Hilberg.

Governing with or against the grain? Challenges confronting African governments and foreign players in Africa's extractives sector
This article introduces a special issue which contributes to the governance debates pertaining to the extractive sector in Africa, where the EU seeks a major role. Better governance is clearly required to meet the objectives of the Africa Mining Vision and the EU’s Raw Materials Initiative; however, there is growing recognition that better formal regulations on paper will not necessarily result in better outcomes on the ground. Greater awareness …
Eyes Wide Open: What the Eye of History Compels Us to Do
In this contribution, I plumb the depths of Georges Didi-Huberman’s abiding notion of the “eye of history” and, in particular, I explore to which responsible acts this notion might hold us. Does a reader of texts or viewer of an image have a right to claim a certain status as witness if the experience of being present at the crime is “merely” by the proxy of a text or an image? This is a fundamental ethical question and, consequently, a profoundl…

South Africa's Racial past: The History and Historiography of Racism, Segregation, and Apartheid
A unique overview of the whole 350-year history of South Africa’s racial order, from the mid-seventeenth century to the apartheid era. Maylam periodizes this racial order, drawing out its main phases and highlighting the significant turning points. He also analyzes the dynamics of South African white racism, exploring the key forces and factors that brought about and perpetuated oppressive, discriminatory policies, practices, structures, laws and…
Les Yeux dans les yeux: La poléthique de Michel Deguy aujourd'hui
This essay will examine, in turn, the three practices that appear to guide “polethics”—Michel Deguy's system for orienting the subject's relationship to other subjects in the world. By closely following Michel Deguy's lifelong attention to Baudelaire's insights into seeing and sight, which anchor modernist experience, our exploration will lead us to better understand that—far from a pastime or passive activity—gazing at the other is the very cond…

Standing Vigil for the Day to Come
Michel Foucault’s “Standing Vigil for the Day to Come” was a review of Roger Laporte’s novel, La Veille, published by Gallimard earlier that year. Although Laporte’s work never received the wide readership it deserved, Foucault held it in high esteem, praising it in his assessment as one of the “most original” and “most difficult” of his time and, subsequently, urging Derrida to read it. This article is most appropriately situated in the series o…
Natural resource rents and elite bargains in Africa: Exploring avenues for future research
This article explores the recent debate over the quality of Africa's growth episode of the past decade, specifically insofar as it pertains to the pitfalls of commodity-dependent growth and the hypothesised ‘resource curse’. In addition, the article focuses on why political and economic institutions are important, and why they are indicators for the likely development impacts of Africa's evident mineral and hydrocarbon wealth. Third, it suggests …

Safety Begins at Home
No different from the populations of any other nation, Americans aspire to comfort and safety. This essay contends that the citizens of the United States have for generations suffered from a collective historical amnesia that makes them compliant to successive political administrations bent on disastrous foreign policy. This neurosis has become acute since the 9/11 attacks. The need to analyze the problem is therefore urgent. The author attempts …

Sartre/Cinema: Spectator/Art That Is Not One
Cinematic spectatorship and its relation to questions of gender has been the focus of numerous articles and theoretical projects since the early 1970s.' Laura Mulvey's 1975 article, Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,2 spelled out the implications of Lacanian-Althusserian models of spectatorship (Metz, Baudry) for a critique of patriarchal cinema.3 Her original argument is well-known: with predictable success, commercial filmmakers lure spectat…
The Sartrean Viscous: Swamp and Source
As Jean-Paul Sartre's L'Age de Raison (The Age of Reason) opens, Mathieu learns that he has inadvertently impregnated his long-time lover, Marcelle. The primordial given of individual freedom, thrown into crisis by vagaries of human reproduction, constitutes guiding theme in this 1945 novel. The next several hundred pages are like a dissection table upon which Sartre lays bare workings of Mathieu's mind, where repulsion at female anatomy intermin…

Lyotard in Passing
Today, after what some had been whispering was an inordinately long time without a new book, Jean-Francois Lyotard has left us with three late works of consequence, in quick succession. A posthumous essay on Saint Augustine is forthcoming. Chambre sourde, an exquisite spare disquisition on aesthetics in the wake of Andre Malraux, appeared earlier this year in France. And both of these are bright bursts out of the crucible that is Signe Malraux (G…

Most Secret Conduit
The only channel of communication between the two sides, other than that between Mandela and Coetsee, was Consolidated Goldfields’ Michael Young, who on Tambo’s prompting had embarked on his one-man mission, showing extraordinary persistence, against a backdrop of intransigence, burning townships and wailing sirens. Young had been asked to set up a channel of contact by the real leader of the guerrilla struggle. It was rather like trying to act a…
The Thatcher Opportunity
Britain’s stance under Mrs Thatcher had been unambiguous. It was also one of the few areas where she was at odds with her foreign secretary, Sir Geoffrey Howe. Thatcher’s approach was characteristically straight-forward. As she wrote in her autobiography: Admitted that fundamental changes must be made in South Africa’s system, the question was of how best to achieve them. It seemed to me that the worst approach was to isolate South Africa further…
