The Undisciplined Campus Forms of Université Cheikh Anta Diop
This article explores representations and lived experience of the Université Cheikh Anta Diop (UCAD), the largest public university in Senegal. While UCAD houses "disciplined" knowledges grounded in ideas of national development, this landmark institution also yields multidirectional forms of knowledge and solidarity located in student-led work and cultural production. Our analysis discusses the symbolic significance on campus of Cheikh Anta Diop…

The Cambridge Companion to the City in World Literature
This book forges new ground in the relationship between cities and World Literature. Through a series of essays spanning a variety of metropolises, it shows how cities have given rise to key aesthetic dispositions, acts of linguistic and cultural translation, topographic conceptualizations, global imaginaries, and narratives of self-fashioning that are central to understanding World Literature and its debates. Alongside an introduction and three …
Translation Imperatives
This Element explores the politics of literary translation via case studies from the Heinemann African Writers Series and the work of twenty-first-century literary translators in Cameroon. It intervenes in debates concerning multilingualism, race and decolonization, as well as methodological discussion in African literary studies, world literature, comparative literature and translation studies. The task of translating African literary texts has …

The role of intermediaries in low carbon transitions – Empowering innovations to unlock district heating in the UK
The literature on socio-technical transitions considers how technological innovations can be established within the context of an incumbent regime that is often resistant or inflexible to change. Strategic niche management is an approach to catalysing a transition to a new regime using protected ‘niche’ spaces to enable development and experimentation with an innovation. Intermediary actors play an important role in establishing these niches as t…

Introduction to special issue of Wasafiri magazine on contemporary African publishing
Publishing Africa in French
It has become commonplace to note that the global French literary marketplace is dominated by Parisian publishing houses and metropolitan kudos. This study probes the aesthetic and political implications of that assertion by revisiting the history of African literature in post-war France. Extensive archival research is combined with literary analysis to investigate the destabilizing impact of decolonization on legitimate notions of language, auth…
Mesdames, il faut lire
This article provides the first extended analysis of the earliest francophone African women's magazine, AWA: la revue de la femme noire, founded in Dakar in 1964 by a network of African women. This material predates what is often seen as the 'first generation' of francophone African women writers, harnessing the tropes of glossy magazine culture to test out plural ideas of African femininity. Through this experimentation, and with reference to th…
Francophone African Literary Prizes and the ‘Empire of the French Language’
Discussions surrounding the Caine Prize for African Writing and the Nobel committee’s apparent neglect of Africa both defend and challenge the role of prizes in a global literary marketplace. 1 While encouraging new writing in the continent and among its diaspora, the steep growth in literary prizes in the latter half of the twentieth century is bound up with the increased commercialisation and mediatisation of art. 2 Prize culture can reinforce …
Francophone African Literary Prizes and the â Empire of the French Languageâ
La littérature africaine de langue française, à quel(s) prix
L’article retrace l’histoire sociale du plus ancien prix littéraire octroyé aux écrivains de langue française issus d’Afrique : le Grand Prix littéraire d’Afrique noire. Cette marque de prestige, régulièrement mentionnée dans le champ littéraire africain, n’a encore fait l’objet d’aucune enquête empirique approfondie. Elle est remise chaque année depuis 1961 par l’Association des écrivains de langue française dont la création remonte à 1924, à de…
Le Monde s'effondre? Translating anglophone African literature in the world republic of letters
This article considers translations of African texts from English to French in the context of recent conceptualizations of world literature as a critical approach. Translation is a key mechanism, dynamic and metaphor in world literature. However, its idealized connotations should not distract from the material realities of a process governed by uneven structures of production and reception. Two cases are illustrative: Amos Tutuola's L'Ivrogne dan…
