Self, World, Environment
Michel Henry (1922–2002) et Yves Bonnefoy (1923–2016) théorisent tous deux une scission entre le monde de l’expérience quotidienne et celui d’une ontologie sous-jacente (Henry 1963; Bonnefoy 1990). Leurs projets explorent ce substrat et orientent notre attention vers lui, en troublant la division entre celui-ci et le monde ordinaire. Toutefois, leurs démarches les conduisent à des modèles radicalement différents de la relation du soi au monde. Al…
Henrietta Rose-Innes and the politics of space
In “Falling”, a short story from Henrietta Rose-Innes’s 2010 collection Homing, there is a productively unresolved tension between the aesthetic demands of spatial form and the spatially segregated nation of post-apartheid South Africa. I track why spatial politics remain central to understanding contemporary South Africa and its literature, and set this against W. J. T. Mitchell’s expanded conception of Joseph Frank’s theory of spatial form, in …
Concrete fragments”
South Africa has a long and rich tradition of short story writing, stretching from the early oral-style tale (MacKenzie, 1999), through the writing of the “fabulous fifties” (Driver, 2012; R. Gaylard, 2008), to the most recent post-apartheid texts. In this interview, Henrietta Rose-Innes describes her practice as a short story writer, noting how it differs from that of writing novels or poetry. For Rose-Innes, the short story offers a way to capt…
The Late Nadine Gordimer
Towards the end of her writing life, Nadine Gordimer’s style became increasingly marked by characteristics that Theodor Adorno and Edward Said have attributed to ‘late style’: syntactic and interpretational difficulty, structural fracture, and a heightened degree of self-reflexivity. I discuss some of the critical formulations that have developed around late style, then analyse Gordimer’s individual late style in the titular stories from her thre…
Sticking Together
“Propaganda by Monuments” was published in Staffrider magazine in 1992, and is the first example of Ivan Vladislavić’s experiments with collage techniques, an interest he has sustained through to his recent work in The Loss Library and Other Stories (2011). From “Propaganda” to The Loss Library’s “The Cold Storage Club,” there is a shift in how he uses collage, from emphasizing juxtaposition to foregrounding absence. Vladislavić’s texts and the i…
