Rebellious sons and bad fathers: White Male Jouissance in the Postcolony
The visual devices employed by the artists Anton Kannemeyer and Brett Murray to criticise apartheid-era patriarchal rule seemed to have remained intact in their satirical critiques of black male leadership, yet their later works generate markedly different affects. This difference in affect is explored through the application of key Lacanian concepts (primarily the RSI and jouissance). It is argued that a slippage in the operation of the signifie…

A poetics of redemption: Keith Dietrich's reinvention of the colonial archive
In this article, I question whether it is possible for white artists in a (post-)settler colony such as South Africa, to engage the colonial archive in a redemptive manner.

I ask, via Theodor Adorno and Michel Foucault, whether a redemptive aesthetic rereading of archival mate…
The Cambridge Companion to Nelson Mandela

Beyond the Tradition/Modernity Dialectic: African Nationalist Subjectivities in South African Print and Visual Culture of the Early Twentieth Century1
In this essay I explore the ambivalent subject positions manifest in South African black middle class visual culture of the early twentieth century. I contend that the way moderate assimilationism was articulated in public discourse (and particularly the black press), differed substantially from the way it was employed in individual black artists’ oeuvres. While advertisements in the black press advocated moderate assimilationism by appealing to …
