Young people and climate action in the Niger Delta
This study is a reflection on a participatory theatre workshop that took place in March 2023 in Otughievwen, an oil-producing community in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. In exploring this, I specifically engage with the process of creating this theatre workshop in a location that is clearly marked by climate crisis. Doing so allows me to consider, in greater depth, the particular context in which I worked with young people to create theatre, …
The poetics of radical consciousness in the drama of the Niger Delta
Early postcolonial Nigerian drama functioned as a medium to disrupt the socio-political dysfunction characterised by the Nigerian state. Dramatists such as Wole Soyinka and Ola Rotimi placed their dramaturgy in the service of socio-political reconstruction. Other playwrights like Femi Osofisan, Bode Sowande and Olu Obafemi that followed established a more radical dramatic repertoire, one that challenged existing Western capitalist economic struct…
Introduction to Indigenous Performance Ecologies and Ecological Power in the Global South
Human and non-human inhabitants in the global south are all gradually becoming refugees in their own local communities and the planet Earth. This is more visible in places in the extractive zone as Macarena Gomes-Barris refers to these locations, in Africa, Asia and Latin America, where multinational corporations and local extraction industries continue to cause harm to indigenous people, non-human lives, cultures and places. All these activities…
Decolonizing the Tropics
This special issue is a collection of papers that addresses and enacts the theme of decolonizing the tropics. Each article provides a sense of how we can untangle ourselves from entrenched colonial epistemologies and ontologies through detailed articulations of research practice. Drawing together humanities and social sciences, the papers collectively address questions of whose voices are heard or silenced, what positions we write from, how we ar…
Decoloniality and Tropicality
The papers collected together in this special issue on the theme 'decoloniality and tropicality' discuss and demonstrate how we can move towards disentangling ourselves from persistent colonial epistemologies and ontologies. Engaging theories of decoloniality and postcolonialism with tropicality, the articles explore the material poetics of philosophical reverie; the 'tropical natureculture' imaginaries of sex tourism, ecotourism, and militourism…
Queering the Nigerian Cinema and Politics of Gay Culture
The advocacy for gayism and lesbianism in Nigeria is informed by transnational cultural processes, transculturalism, interculturalism, multiculturalism and globalisation. Although critical dimensions on Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) are becoming recurrent subjects in Nigerian scholarship, scholarly works on LGBT, sexual identity and Nigerian cinema remain scarce. Perhaps, this is because of indigenous Nigerian cultural processes. …
