Learning to Belong Here in an Altogether Different Way”
Crimes against Reproduction
Secular animal trials were coincident with witch trials across Europe from the 1200s-1700s, peaking between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. The trials' similarity extends beyond simultaneity. Both forms of trials were preoccupied with what we call reproductive crimes: criminalized perceived deviance from reproductive norms that codified into an order facilitating the rise of capitalist modernity. In this paper we discuss secondary source…
Imaginando O Futuro Para Existências Quare
O Norte e o Sul globais oferecem desafios distintos? Se a elaboração de uma resposta a essa questão tocar, ainda que minimamente, a problemática do colonialismo e de seus impactos, ela será categoricamente afirmativa.

The Resilience of the Pest
The Resilience of the Pest Jesse Arseneault (bio) and Rosemary-Claire Collard (bio) Introduction: Colonial Worlds, Animality, and the Production of the Pest A chorus from world leaders and experts is calling for people, cities, economies, and ecosystems to be resilient amid the climate change and runaway biodiversity loss that characterize the Anthropocene. In the critical social sciences and humanities, this pursuit of resilience has been widely…
African fictions, animal figures and anthropocentric frameworks
This chapter considers how animal figures emerge as concerns within African fictions, and discusses several texts for the different tropes of animal and human–animal relations they engender, varied in their geopolitical context and thematic content precisely to give a broad survey of these concerns. Any attention to nonhuman lives in African literature will find precedence in its long history of orature. Set in Nigeria and post-war Britain, Buchi…
Contemporary orientations in African Cultural Studies
This paper offers a glimpse of work generated by the 2014 John Douglas Taylor conference on ‘Contemporary Orientations in African Cultural Studies’. The conference generated a number of inquiries into the time and place of contemporary African cultural work, many of which theorised beyond the frameworks that postcolonial and globalisation studies frequently offer. Within the shifting paradigms of Cultural Studies, the work of this conference (as …
Queer Desire and the Men of the Nation
This article examines John Greyson’s film, Proteus, for the way it figures queer masculinity and race in South Africa’s national historical narrative. The film offers an esthetic rendering of an eighteenth century interracial sodomy trial set on Robben Island. Drawing on contemporary queer theory and recent South African narratives of masculinity that privilege heternormativity and nationalism, this paper argues that the film carves out a space f…
