Bare life and subjectivity in post-Independence era
The demise of Apartheid and colonialism in South Africa and Zimbabwe ushered in hope among the masses, who expected transformation to improve their economic, political and social conditions. However, context and history conspired to orchestrate persistent suffering, uncertainty and existential angst, which find expression in literary works. Drawing from Agamben’s concept of biopolitics, we interrogate fictional representations of economic and soc…
Exploring Africanisation of the University Curriculum in Zimbabwe
Conversations about Africanisation of university curriculum are part of the epistemic crisis and efforts to debunk Eurocentric thinking characterised by binarisms, racial biases and discriminatory attitudes towards Africans. An Afrocentric perspective troubles conceptualisation of notions of African humanity vis-à-vis the vexing question of epistemological trajectories undertaken in postcolonial Zimbabwe. This study focuses on African efforts to …

Classification of African migrants in South Africa as undesirable, economic parasites, illegals, among other derogatory terms, characterises current xenophobic discourses and foregrounds frontiers that divide people in Africa. Xenophobia violates the philosophy of ubuntu/Vumunhu/Umunhu and the parable of the Good Samaritan which define humanity as diverse but collective. Drawing from this philosophy and parable as prisms through which xenophobic …
Representations of rhizomatic identitarian trajectories in selected contemporary Southern African narratives
The subject of identity is a very complex one as highlighted by the amount of scholarship on this topic as well as a varied range of perspectives that have been used to approach it. Probably, it is because identity is a life-long process that it continues to take new forms and new directions through deterritorialisation and reterritorialisation, the ‘lines of flight’ from Deleuze and Guattari’s vocabulary. Furthermore, identification takes place …
One supervisor, two students
Today, colleges and universities offer master's and doctoral degrees in increasing numbers. Many students enrol in these programmes and, in many cases, such students are without appropriate guidance and support in conceptualising, conducting and writing original research. The lack of support and guidance during the M&D journey results in students taking more than the required duration for the programme, withdrawal or abandonment and, consequently…
