Sound in the landscape, a study of the historical literature. Part 1
While many landscapes have made an impression upon people more through visual impact other senses might also be involved, one of which was that of hearing. In the first of a series of essays this will be examined through the literature and place-names of the early medieval period. Indeed, while we cannot see the landscape as it was then seen, we can through such sources be brought closer to the actual sounds that might have been heard
Phantoms of hysteria—Novelistic phantasmagoria in Lesego Rampolokeng’s whiteheart
This article examines how the narrator in Lesego Rampolokeng’s Whiteheart: Prologue to Hysteria (hereafter designated as W/H) deploys spectres of hysteria as a novelistic phantasmagoria to challenge the subject in the fictive post-apartheid South Africa and re-examine how spectres of Apartheid devour the country through veiled repressive juridical structures. The novel is written in paragraphs/sections which appear to be disjointed, and this form…

The study proposes to rediscover the dialectics of the revolutionary element in the Egyptian identity from the perspective of sports and to crystalise its vital role in constructing the national identity. Through sports, the characters in Yusuf Al- Seba’i’s distinguished novel My Heart is back (1954) shoulder the task of disentangling themselves from the shackles of subalternity; they take of sports an instrument that rewrites their individual li…

In this essay, I scrutinize the impact of gendered politics on female bodies and interrogate the written articulation of revolutionary feminist participation. I s…
Bioterrorism in the literature of the nineteenth century
This article analyzes H.G. Wells’ The Stolen Bacillus, one of the first works of fiction to deal with bioterrorism. Although the use of biological agents by armies in warfare is probably as old as mankind, since the last Iraq War, the fear of biological agents being used in terrorist attacks has increased. Although bioterrorism might seem a problem beginning in the late twentieth century, Wells’ short story, written in 1894, foreboded the threat …
Representing Beasts in Early Medieval England and Scandinavia
Writ in water, lines in sand
Historians and archaeologists often take connectivity for granted, and fail to address the problems of documenting patterns of movement. This article highlights the methodological challenges of reconstructing trade routes in prehistory and early history. The argument is made that these challenges are best met through the application of modern models of connectivity, in combination with the conscious use of comparative approaches
