Fújì music, a Yorùbá popular art, has over the time been criticised as a local musical idiom devoid of any sophisticated aesthetic and functional values, and meant only for the illiterates. This study investigates the multiplicity of aesthetic performances in this Yorùbá art through close examination of a range of Fújì musical song texts in a bid to articulate Yorùbá socio-cultural realities. Engaging an aspect of Ackerman’s concept of hybridity, this study analyses selected works of two Nigerian Fújì musical artistes, Sikiru Ayinde Balogun (a.k.a. Barrister) and Rasaki Kolawole Ilori (a.k.a. Kollington Ayinla) who are representatives of the first generation of Fújì musical artistes. I argue that Fújì music possesses utilitarian relevance to Nigerian audiences as it is engaged in various ways to generate multiple meanings in linguistic, literary and musicological senses through syncretic complexities of postcolonial socio-cultural dialectical practices in Nigeria. The study concludes that Fújì song performance inherently possesses and articulates an array of social values and aesthetics.
Fújì音乐,一种Yorùbá流行艺术,长期以来一直被批评为缺乏任何复杂的审美和功能价值的地方音乐习语,只适合文盲。本研究通过对一系列Fújì音乐歌曲文本的仔细研究,探讨了这种Yorùbá艺术中美学表演的多样性,以阐明Yorùbá社会文化现实。从阿克曼的混合概念的一个方面入手,本研究分析了两位尼日利亚Fújì音乐艺术家的作品,他们是第一代Fújì音乐艺术家的代表人物Sikiru Ayinde Balogun(又名Barrister)和Rasaki Kolawole Ilori(又名kolington Ayinla)。我认为Fújì音乐与尼日利亚观众具有实用的相关性,因为它通过尼日利亚后殖民社会文化辩证实践的融合复杂性,以各种方式在语言、文学和音乐学意义上产生多种意义。该研究得出结论,Fújì歌曲表演固有地拥有并表达了一系列社会价值观和美学。

A Literary Analysis of Memory Books 记忆书的文学分析
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-20 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05202002

This study analyses, based on field research and textual analysis, memory book projects in Uganda as a folk-literary form. The memory book is a formatted workbook written by a parent, often a widowed mother living with HIV, for their child, about their family history, the parent’s life experiences, and their early memories of the child. This study first discusses the collective writing of memory books and how writers help each other in group writing sessions. It then analyses two memory books written by a 66-year old HIV-positive widowed farmer. It discusses her orality-imbued written narrative of history and daily life, and examines her representation of HIV. Instead of confronting her pain with a pen, like many literate writers, she contains the pain by embedding the passages on HIV within her broader life story. Thus, she surmounts and survives HIV and lives harmoniously amid her community, her family, and their history.
本研究以田野调查和文本分析为基础,分析记忆书在乌干达作为一种民间文学形式的项目。记忆书是由父母(通常是感染艾滋病毒的丧偶母亲)为他们的孩子写的一本格式化的工作手册,内容包括他们的家族史、父母的生活经历以及他们对孩子的早期记忆。本研究首先探讨记忆类书籍的集体写作,以及作者如何在小组写作中互相帮助。然后,它分析了一位66岁的艾滋病病毒阳性寡妇农民写的两本记忆书。它讨论了她对历史和日常生活充满感染力的书面叙述,并审视了她对艾滋病毒的表现。她没有像许多文学作家那样用笔来面对自己的痛苦,而是把关于艾滋病的段落嵌入到她更广泛的生活故事中,从而遏制了痛苦。因此,她战胜并战胜了艾滋病毒,在她的社区、她的家庭和他们的历史中和谐地生活。

The Poetics of Place and Belonging in Joe Ushie’s Poetry 论乔·乌什诗歌中的场所与归属诗学
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-20 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05202006

Joe Ushie’s poetry is highly expressive of a poet persona’s place consciousness. In this paper I interrogate selected poems that articulate a sense of place and belonging in his four collections of poems: Popular Stand and Other Poems (1992), Lambs at the Shrine (1995), Hill Songs (2000), and A Reign of Locust (2004). Utilising the theoretical provisions of postcolonial ecocriticism, I see his imagery as a creative strategy to express his belongingness, foreground a marginalised cultural space, and draw attention to the vagaries of a once idyllic environment in the throes of vain postcolonial politics, commercial greed, and poverty. Thus, while remaining close to the poet’s indigenous imagination, I conclude that Ushie’s aesthetics of place and belonging is anchored firmly in the environmentalist ethics of pursuit for a healthy environment.
乔·乌什的诗歌高度表现了诗人人格的地方意识。在这篇论文中,我对他的四部诗集中的一些诗进行了考察,这些诗表达了一种地方感和归属感:《大众立场和其他诗歌》(1992年)、《神社里的羔羊》(1995年)、《山歌》(2000年)和《蝗虫统治》(2004年)。利用后殖民生态批评的理论规定,我认为他的图像是一种创造性的策略,以表达他的归属感,突出边缘化的文化空间,并引起人们对在徒劳的后殖民政治,商业贪婪和贫困的阵痛中曾经田园诗般的环境的变幻性的关注。因此,在接近诗人的本土想象的同时,我得出结论,乌什对地方和归属感的美学牢牢地扎根于追求健康环境的环境主义伦理。

The Personal is Political 个人就是政治
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-20 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05202008
Felicia Annin
In this article, I posit that Ngũgĩ’s oeuvre presents numerous instances of love, betrayal, and adultery. While love and adultery are limited to personal spaces, betrayal occurs in both the personal and political spheres in Ngũgĩ’s works. In the novel A Grain of Wheat, betrayals in the personal sphere are juxtaposed with betrayals in the political sphere. The betrayal within the political sphere has implications for the personal relations of the characters. Political ideals are betrayed by the complex and divided characters in Ngũgĩ’s narratives. The characters are not spared betrayal on personal and political levels. The personal and political betrayals thus are conflated and make it a critical area of study. This study seeks to emphasise that both forms of betrayal are crucial and the relationship between them is inseparable. The personal betrayal in Ngũgĩ’s A Grain of Wheat (1967) occurs in romantic relationships; more specifically, the betrayal is represented by adultery in marriage, while the political betrayal emerges as betraying one’s country.
在这篇文章中,我假设Ngũgĩ的全部作品呈现了许多爱、背叛和通奸的例子。虽然爱情和通奸仅限于个人空间,但在Ngũgĩ的作品中,背叛同时出现在个人和政治领域。在小说《一粒麦子》中,个人领域的背叛与政治领域的背叛并行不悖。政治领域内的背叛对人物的个人关系有影响。在Ngũgĩ的叙事中,复杂而分裂的人物背叛了政治理想。剧中人物在个人和政治层面上都难逃背叛。因此,个人背叛和政治背叛被混为一谈,使其成为一个关键的研究领域。这项研究试图强调两种形式的背叛都是至关重要的,它们之间的关系是不可分割的。Ngũgĩ的《一粒麦子》(1967)中的个人背叛发生在恋爱关系中;更具体地说,背叛表现为婚姻中的通奸,而政治背叛表现为背叛自己的国家。

In Search of a Future 寻找未来
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2022-10-20 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05202001
J. Akung
The contemporary Nigerian novel is much about the accentuation of the theme of despair, drawing on issues of unemployment, harsh economic realities, political crises, insurgency and corruption. It also explores this despondence and the search for a better life. The choice of Chika Unigwe’s On Black Sisters’ Street and Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani’s I Do Not Come to You by Chance illustrates this point. The paper explores the despair that the youths encounter in the face of changing times and the struggle to scale through the despair. The critical textual analysis undertaken in this article reveals that lack of gainful employment has caused the youths in On Black Sister’s Street to flee the country in search of greener pastures where they are forced to work as prostitutes. The protagonists of the two novels are caught in one web of despair, but have the hope of leading a better life. The novels illuminate how despite the characters’ predicament, they are ready as well as willing to press on in order to change their precarious situations. This tenacity of hope serves as the novelistic vision of the authors.
当代尼日利亚小说更多地强调了绝望的主题,涉及失业、严酷的经济现实、政治危机、叛乱和腐败等问题。它还探讨了这种沮丧和对更好生活的追求。Chika Unigwe的《On Black Sisters’Street》和Adaobi Tricia Nwaubani的《I Do Not Come to You by Chance》的选择就说明了这一点。本文探讨了青年在面对时代变迁时所遭遇的绝望,以及在绝望中挣扎求生的过程。本文进行的批判性文本分析表明,缺乏有收入的工作导致《黑姐妹街》中的年轻人逃离这个国家,寻找更绿的牧场,在那里他们被迫从事妓女工作。两本小说的主人公都陷入了绝望的网中,但都有过上更好生活的希望。这些小说阐明了尽管人物陷入困境,但他们准备好并愿意继续努力,以改变他们岌岌可危的处境。这种顽强的希望是作者的小说愿景。

A Discursive Contextualisation of Hustling in Nigerian Hip-Hop 尼日利亚Hip-Hop中“忙活”的话语语境化
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-12-20 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05202005
P. Onanuga
One of the endearing qualities of the Hip-Hop genre is its penchant for crass materialism where artistes lyrically brag about their successes while unabashedly flaunting the ostentatious proceeds of their newfound fame. This resonates with the contemporary constructs of individualism and self-realisation in line with social expectations. However, beyond the photo ops, these artistes indeed go the extra mile in achieving success. In this article, the portraiture of hustling, which indexes survival in any form, is explored. Fifteen purposively selected songs by Nigerian Hip-Hop artistes constitute the data. For one, many of the popular Hip-Hoppers defied the stranglehold of poverty before recording personal successes. They thus reference the street as a domain of hustling and recount their experiences. Different contextual or social orientations of hustling in Nigeria are discursively constructed by the artists. It is framed as a prerequisite for achieving success (regardless of how!); as a necessity to meet familial responsibility; and as combat with perceived enemies. Additionally, Nigerian Hip-Hop artistes annex hustling as a psychological/mental activity as well as a metaphor for God’s blessings. The study concludes that hustling typifies the underground economy and the almost limitless extent to which Nigerian Hip-Hoppers work for their successes.
嘻哈音乐类型的一个可爱之处是它对粗鄙物质主义的偏好,在这种类型中,艺人们抒情地吹嘘自己的成功,同时毫不掩饰地炫耀他们新获得的名声所带来的炫耀性收益。这与当代个人主义和自我实现的结构产生了共鸣,符合社会期望。然而,除了照片之外,这些艺术家确实在取得成功方面付出了额外的努力。本文探讨了以任何形式的生存为指标的“忙活”的形象。数据由尼日利亚Hip-Hop艺人有意挑选的15首歌曲组成。首先,许多受欢迎的嘻哈歌手在取得个人成功之前,都不顾贫穷的束缚。因此,他们把街道称为一个忙碌的领域,并讲述了他们的经历。在尼日利亚,不同的背景或社会取向是由艺术家们话语建构的。它被设定为获得成功的先决条件(无论如何!);作为履行家庭责任的必需品;在与敌人的战斗中。此外,尼日利亚Hip-Hop艺人将忙碌作为一种心理/精神活动以及上帝祝福的隐喻。该研究的结论是,卖淫是地下经济的典型,而尼日利亚hip - hop者为获得成功而努力的程度几乎是无限的。

South Africa to India 从南非到印度
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-22 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05201011
Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie
This article focuses on the repatriation of Indians from South Africa, first under indentured labour contracts, and then under modified schemes between 1914 and 1975 applicable to all Indians. While the historiography of Indian South Africans prioritises movement of Indians to South Africa, this article is about reverse movement to India. It analyses narratives of repatriation that emerge from official sources in India and South Africa such as statistics, reports of officials in India, petitions and letters from repatriates and observations of public figures. It then shifts focus to a Cape-based immigration archive that focuses on Cape Town repatriates, thus drawing Cape Town more closely into the scholarly field of Indian Ocean mobilities but also firmly into the historiography of Indian South Africans, hitherto predominantly focussed on the former provinces, Natal and the Transvaal. By bringing Cape Town repatriates into the fuller story, an alternative narrative to the dominant one of coercion and suffering is offered.
这篇文章的重点是印度人从南非的遣返,首先根据契约劳动合同,然后根据1914年至1975年间适用于所有印度人的修改计划。虽然印度裔南非人的史学优先考虑印度人向南非的运动,但这篇文章是关于向印度的反向运动。它分析了来自印度和南非官方来源的关于遣返的叙述,如统计数据、印度官员的报告、被遣返者的请愿书和信件以及对公众人物的观察。然后,它将焦点转移到以开普为基础的移民档案上,重点关注开普敦的遣返者,从而将开普敦更紧密地纳入印度洋流动的学术领域,同时也坚定地纳入印度裔南非人的史学,迄今为止主要集中在前省份纳塔尔和德兰士瓦。通过将开普敦遣返到更完整的故事中,提供了另一种叙事方式,以取代主导的强迫和痛苦。

An Afrasian Entanglement 非洲人的纠缠
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2021-11-22 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05201005
K. Padayachee
The establishment of the Phoenix Settlement and the Gandhi Development Trust (GDT) in South Africa was an experiment in self-sufficient communal living and the promotion of the values and principles of Mahatma Gandhi and South Africa’s democratic Constitution, respectively. While both entities are the result of Gandhi’s South African connection, they serve to embody, through the Mahatma, an Afrasian Entanglement. Gandhi’s time in South Africa made a remarkable impact on him and the country, transforming his political and social positions and influencing its struggle for freedom. In post-apartheid South Africa, the shared mission of both organisations is to advance a culture of nonviolence, peace and social responsibility through a range of transformative programmes. This article details Gandhi’s South African journey, his evolving ideas of passive resistance and social reconstruction there, and the resultant legacy programmes that resonate with the spirit of Ubuntu and the South African Constitution to reinforce democracy.
在南非建立凤凰城定居点和甘地发展信托基金(GDT)分别是对自给自足的社区生活和促进圣雄甘地和南非民主宪法的价值观和原则的实验。虽然这两个实体都是甘地与南非关系的结果,但通过圣雄甘地,它们体现了一种非洲纠缠。甘地在南非的时光对他本人和这个国家产生了显著的影响,改变了他的政治和社会地位,影响了争取自由的斗争。在后种族隔离时代的南非,这两个组织的共同使命是通过一系列变革性项目推进非暴力、和平和社会责任的文化。这篇文章详细介绍了甘地的南非之旅,他在那里发展的消极抵抗和社会重建思想,以及由此产生的与乌班图精神和南非宪法共鸣的遗产项目,以加强民主。

Memories of global wars are often anything but global: counterfactual notions of a “white man’s war” continue to present a one-sided account of World War II centred on Europe and North America that sidelines the contributions and sacrifices of millions of soldiers from all over the world and negates their manifold agendas and forms of agency. This is particularly true of the “Afrasian” war experiences of tens of thousands of African soldiers who fought in Asia which are the subject of Biyi Bandele’s novel Burma Boy. The following essay highlights how Bandele’s text counteracts Eurocentric accounts of World War II, explores the complex motivations of African soldiers and their equally complex encounters with Asians in Burma, and draws on transregional imaginaries to produce a challenging non-heroic account of “Afrasia at war.”
全球战争的记忆往往不是全球性的:“白人战争”的反事实概念继续对以欧洲和北美为中心的第二次世界大战进行片面的描述,忽视了来自世界各地数百万士兵的贡献和牺牲,并否定了他们的多种议程和代理形式。这尤其体现在成千上万在亚洲作战的非洲士兵的“亚洲”战争经历上,这些经历正是比伊·班德尔的小说《缅甸男孩》的主题。下面这篇文章强调了班德尔的文本是如何抵消以欧洲为中心的第二次世界大战的叙述的,探讨了非洲士兵的复杂动机,以及他们在缅甸与亚洲人同样复杂的遭遇,并利用跨区域的想象,为“战争中的非洲”创造了一个具有挑战性的非英雄主义的叙述。
