New” Nollywood Video Films and the Post/Nationality of Nigeria's Film Culture
Nollywood, Nigeria’s signature video-film culture, has had its fortunes significantly impacted or improved since the early 1990s when it emerged as a powerful cultural production site in the national imaginary. Nollywood has since travelled from its aboriginal Nigerian homeland and transgressed national boundaries to become a truly global film phenomenon with post-national aspirations and global ambitions. The global enactment of energies by this…
Exile, exilic consciousness and the poetic imagination in Tanure Ojaide’s poetry

The encounter between Africa and Europe during the historical reality of the colonial and imperial enterprise has fashioned an elaborate corpus of knowledge systems. These knowledge systems have been produced and circulated by Europe as standard and they have become part of the European regime of universal truth-telling. Thus those who are defined as Others, and are marginal to the Empire, are constituted as outside of culture and civilisation. T…
