  • They Called You Dambudzo: A Memoir

    Flora Veit-Wild, Flora Veit–wildBOOKThey Called You Dambudzo2022

    Compelling memoir of Flora Veit-Wild and her relationship with the Zimbabwean novelist, poet, playwright, and essayist Dambudzo Marechera, one of Africa's most innovative and subversive writers and a significant voice in contemporary world literature. How shall I tell our story? I hear your voice ringing in mine. I struggle to disentangle a dense tapestry of memories. One thread will be caught up in another. Early images will embrace later ones. …

  • Mabasa, Ignatius T.: Mapenzi

    Open AccessFlora Veit-Wild, Flora Veit–wildCHAPTERKindlers Literatur Lexikon (KLL)2021

    Der 1999 erschienene Erstlingsroman des Autors stellt einen spektakulären Einschnitt in der Entwicklung der Shona-Literatur dar. Thematik, Erzählstruktur und Sprachstil brechen radikal mit literarischen Konventionen. Zwar knüpft Mabasa an die Tradition der Städteliteratur an, in der seit den 1960er Jahren unmoralisches Verhalten und der Zerfall der Familienstruktur beklagt werden. In Mapenzi aber wird die innere Korrosion der simbabwischen Gesell…

  • Introduction: Digging into Language

    Flora Veit–wild, Flora Veit-Wild Flora Veit-Wild et al.ARTICLEResearch in African Literatures2017

    Introduction: Digging into Language Flora Veit-Wild and Clarissa Vierke The original impetus for this special issue arose out of the research project “Changing Patterns of the Shona Novel from Zimbabwe: A Linguistic Literary Analysis” directed by Flora Veit-Wild at Humboldt University in Berlin. Starting from the premise that one of the glaring gaps in contemporary African studies is the fact that linguistic and literary scholarship have largely …

  • Hearing Voices: The Linguistic and Narrative Design of Three Eminent Shona Novels

    Flora Veit–wild, Flora Veit-Wild Flora Veit-WildARTICLEResearch in African Literatures2017

    In this essay, I suggest a new methodology for the analysis of literary texts in Afrophone languages. Focusing on the concept of voice , I use a computer-generated linguistic corpus for exploring the linguistic and narratological set-up of three Zimbabwean novels from distinctly different historical and literary periods: Patrick Chakaipa’s Pfumo Reropa [ Spear of Blood ] (1961), Charles Mungoshi’s Ndiko Kupindana Kwamazuva [ How Time Passes ] (19…

  • Zimbolicious' - The Creative Potential of Linguistic Innovation: The Case of Shona-English in Zimbabwe

    Flora Veit-Wild, Flora Veit–wildARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies2009Cited by: 4

    Code-switching and the emergence of new hybrid languages are common in contemporary urban culture in Africa. While the linguistic and sociological aspects of switching between Shona and English in Zimbabwe has been widely analysed, this article proposes that the new linguistic usages entail highly creative and at times subversive potential and energy. The widespread use of new media such as the internet not only strongly enhances the blending of …

    Le corps grotesque de la « postcolonie » : Sony Labou Tansi et Dambudzo Marechera La notion de « postcolonie » (Achille Mbembe) définit la trajectoire historique de sociétés venant d’émerger de l’expérience de la colonisation et de la violence qui la caractérise. Par l’analyse d’œuvres de Sony Labou Tansi (Congo-Brazzaville) et de Dambudzo Marechera (Zimbabwé), l’article montre que l’état postcolonial est incarné par la figure du dictateur énorme…

  • Carnival and hybridity in texts by Dambudzo Marechera and Lesego Rampolokeng

    Flora Veit‐wild, Flora Veit–wildARTICLEJournal of Southern African Studies1997References: 1

    In the post‐independence era, a multi‐layered perception has replaced the dichotomies of the anti‐colonial struggle. But white Africanists still have a bias towards a nation‐based outlook and favour writings which reflect some kind of African identity. African writers have rejected such patronising classification. They have moved away from unilateral ways of thinking and developed modes of writing which surpass the realism of the literature of re…
