Out of Africa
This article explores the literary imagination that emerged around the paperwork of the South African apartheid state, especially the bureaucratic ephemera-such as dompasses, passports, passport applications and exit permits-that limited the free movement of black individuals. It turns to the case of the South African journalist Nat Nakasa (1937-65). In a first step, I argue that, in Nakasa's writings, apartheid's bureaucratic papers are viewed a…
The Edinburgh Companion to First World War Periodicals
The first reference book on First World War newspapers and magazines from the home front to the front lines While literary scholars and historians often draw on the press as a source of information, First World War periodicals have rarely been studied as cultural artefacts in their own right.

On and off the page, these experiments disarmed the deadly objects of an industrial conflict, turning them into peculiar products of everyday life at the front. I argue that this reappropriating impulse also underwrote …

Time on the Pulse
Time is a constitutive feature of modernism, which developed in a period when the stability of the self was disintegrating. This paper considers the link between modernist temporality and affect by looking at the wristwatch, the first timepiece worn on the body. I focus on its emergence in World War One and go on to discuss two encounters with the timepiece in Siegfried Sassoon's ‘Attack’ (1918) and Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse (1927). In t…
