Literature Struggles 文学斗争

Literature struggles in South Africa—or, struggles of interpretation?—evince, and continue to evince, a thematic and stylistic impulse to belong to a common society, but, paradoxically, a society that is often more disjunctive than conjunctive. How, then, to belong? I trace the trajectory from the black-and-white voices of the 1970s to a more heterogeneous conception of the society, after apartheid, and particularly over the last decade, or so. What is peculiar about literature struggles is that the heroic mode has played a relatively marginal role in sense-making or imaginative projection; rather, the critical insight ensures that political language—too often crude in its singularities of either/or—has seldom enjoyed the unalloyed assent of literary language. Considerations of nation-building hardly feature alongside the concerns of living in a functioning society.
南非的文学斗争——还是文学阐释的斗争?-表明,并继续表明,主题和风格的冲动,属于一个共同的社会,但矛盾的是,一个社会往往是分离多于连接。那么,如何归属呢?我追溯了从20世纪70年代的非黑即白的声音到种族隔离之后,特别是在过去十年左右的时间里,一个更加多元化的社会概念的发展轨迹。文学斗争的特殊之处在于,英雄模式在意义建构或想象投射中所起的作用相对边缘;相反,这种批判性的洞察力确保了政治语言——往往因其非此即彼的独特性而过于粗糙——很少得到文学语言的纯粹赞同。对国家建设的考虑很难与生活在一个运转良好的社会中的关切相提并论。

After a South African air raid attack against the liberation-struggling independence movement of their parents, more than four hundred young Namibian refugees—preschoolers, primary school pupils and teenagers—arrived in the German Democratic Republic in 1979. This chapter evaluates representations of the deportation of the children and their experiences in the GDR by looking at (auto)biographical depictions. With regard to the question of whether their spectacular life stories have (co-)shaped the prevailing post-independence national narrative of Namibia or not, their own perspective yields both an unambiguous and, given the conditions under which they had been sent on their odyssey in the first place, surprising result. While the former exile children have ultimately been denied the privilege of being part of the country’s elite, they do not seem to resent their near invisibility in these self-images of the nation, and seem to have come to terms with their situation (and identity) as Africans with a German past.
1979年,在南非对他们父母争取解放的独立运动发动空袭后,400多名年轻的纳米比亚难民——学龄前儿童、小学生和青少年——抵达德意志民主共和国。本章通过观察(自动)传记描述来评估儿童被驱逐出境的表现和他们在德意志民主共和国的经历。至于他们精彩的人生故事是否(共同)塑造了纳米比亚独立后流行的民族叙事,他们自己的观点得出了一个既明确又令人惊讶的结果,考虑到他们最初被派往奥德赛的条件。虽然这些前流亡儿童最终被剥夺了成为这个国家精英的特权,但他们似乎并不怨恨自己在这个国家的自我形象中几乎被忽视,而且似乎已经接受了他们作为拥有德国历史的非洲人的处境(和身份)。

Namibian Life Stories from the ‘Struggle Days’ 纳米比亚人的“奋斗岁月”

This article analyses representative life stories that reflect the experiences of people who participated in the Namibian liberation struggle, as well as one narrative that reflects the traumatic effect of the brutal murder of her mother witnessed by a five year old girl. The stories detail the vicious nature of settler colonialism in South West Africa and the motive that drove youths to abscond from school to join SWAPO camps in neighbouring countries. Two of the male authored texts focus on the political dimensions of the struggle, with minimal personal details; the two accounts penned by women who obtained secondary and tertiary education in exile and underwent military training foreground the personal dimension that is understated in the male accounts. The human side of war, suffering and discrimination is captured in all the accounts, in differing degrees. The strong Christian beliefs of the selected authors are a striking feature in most of the life stories.
本文分析了一些有代表性的人生故事,这些故事反映了参与纳米比亚解放斗争的人们的经历,也反映了一个五岁女孩亲眼目睹了她母亲被残忍杀害的创伤。这些故事详细描述了西南非洲殖民者的邪恶本质,以及驱使年轻人从学校潜逃到邻国SWAPO营地的动机。其中两篇由男性撰写的文章聚焦于这场斗争的政治层面,个人细节极少;在流亡期间接受过中等和高等教育并接受过军事训练的女性所写的两篇文章突出了男性文章中被低估的个人层面。战争、苦难和歧视的人性一面在所有的叙述中都有不同程度的体现。入选作者强烈的基督教信仰是大多数人生故事的显著特征。

Fictional Dreams and Harsh Realities 虚构的梦想和残酷的现实
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-02-13 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05002008

This paper looks at the novels by Joseph Diescho (Born of the Sun, 1988), Kaleni Hiyalwa (Meekulu’s Children, 2000), and Neshani Andreas (The Purple Violet of Oshaantu, 2001) with a special focus on the access to education and land, but also problems such as Gender Based Violence and poverty. By comparing how an independent Namibia is imagined during South African apartheid rule, during the Liberation Struggle, and post-independence, the novels open up perspectives that empirical studies may overlook or decide not to emphasise. Furthermore, this comparison also allows for a linear, yet non-chronological, view on how the literary visions evolve with concepts such as nation and liberation, but also modernity and nationalism as they ‘enter’ into the characters’ every day. With the protagonists deeply involved in the make-up of their respective villages, they can also be considered prototypical Namibians in their value systems and networks. Through their eyes, it is possible to trace how political promises that were envisioned and imagined prior to 1990 are either realised or disappointed.
本文着眼于约瑟夫·迪斯乔(生于太阳,1988年)、卡莱尼·海亚尔瓦(米库鲁的孩子,2000年)和内沙尼·安德烈亚斯(奥山图的紫紫罗兰,2001年)的小说,特别关注教育和土地的获得,以及性别暴力和贫困等问题。通过比较在南非种族隔离统治时期、在解放斗争时期和独立后,人们是如何想象一个独立的纳米比亚的,这些小说开辟了实证研究可能忽视或决定不强调的视角。此外,这种比较也允许一个线性的,但不是按时间顺序的,关于文学愿景如何随着民族和解放等概念的演变,以及现代性和民族主义,因为它们每天都“进入”角色。由于主人公深深参与了各自村庄的构成,他们在其价值体系和网络中也可以被视为典型的纳米比亚人。通过他们的眼睛,可以追溯1990年以前设想和想象的政治承诺是如何实现或失望的。

Untold Tales and Occluded Histories 不为人知的故事和闭塞的历史

The Herero Nama Genocide is a painful period in Namibian history and yet it is the period about which several novels have been written in the past ten years. This article examines one of the novels of this period, The Lie of the Land by Jasper Utley, with a view to exploring the ambivalence in its writing. Using witness bearing and the concept of the ‘Other’ in postcolonialism, I investigate the narrator’s language and lay bare the ambiguities in the novel. I trace the path of the eponymous hero from being a witness to the Nama Genocide to an active involvement in the rescue of a Nama woman whom he falls in love with.
Herero Nama种族灭绝是纳米比亚历史上一段痛苦的时期,但在过去的十年里,有几本小说都是关于这段时期的。本文考察了这一时期的一部小说——贾斯帕·厄特利的《土地的谎言》,以期探究其写作中的矛盾心理。我利用证人作证和后殖民主义中的“他者”概念,研究了叙述者的语言,并揭示了小说中的模糊性。我追溯了同名英雄的人生轨迹,从目睹纳玛大屠杀,到积极参与营救他爱上的纳玛女子。

(Un)sung Heroines (联合国)唱女英雄
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-02-13 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05002004

In the South African War (1899–1902), Boer women emerged as more heroic than their men folk. When Boer leaders succumbed to a truce, much discursive work ensued to domesticate Boer women anew in the face of their recalcitrance in accepting a peace deal with the British. But attempts to re-feminise Boer women and elevate Boer men to their ‘rightful’ position as patriarchs faltered in the topsy-turvy after the war. The figure of the volksmoeder, or mother of the nation, provided a nodal category that combined feminine care for the family and the volk, or fledgling Afrikaner nation, but the heroic narrative was increasingly displaced by the symbol of self-sacrificial, silent and passive motherhood, thereby obscuring women’s political activism. Today, a re-remembering of volksmoeder heroism, combined with feminist politics based on the democratic-era Constitution, opens up possibilities of Afrikaners breaking out of their white exclusivism to join the nascent democratic South African nation.
在南非战争(1899-1902)中,布尔妇女比他们的男人更英勇。当布尔领导人屈服于停战协议时,随之而来的是大量的论述工作,以重新驯服布尔妇女,因为她们拒绝接受与英国的和平协议。但是,在战后的混乱中,重新女性化布尔妇女和将布尔男人提升到他们“应有的”父权地位的尝试却步履蹒跚。“大众母亲”或“民族之母”的形象提供了一个节点类别,将女性对家庭和人民(或新生的阿非利卡民族)的关怀结合在一起,但英雄叙事逐渐被自我牺牲、沉默和被动的母性象征所取代,从而模糊了女性的政治激进主义。今天,对大众汽车英雄主义的回忆,加上基于民主时代宪法的女权主义政治,为阿非利卡人打破白人排外主义,加入新生的民主南非国家提供了可能性。

Coming to Terms in Namibia 在纳米比亚达成协议
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-02-13 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05002006
H. Melber
The South West African People’s Organisation (SWAPO of Namibia) had a unique status among anti-colonial movements. Fighting South Africa’s illegal occupation of South West Africa/Namibia, dubbed by the United Nations as a “trust betrayed,” it resorted to armed struggle in the 1960s. SWAPO was subsequently recognized as “the sole and authentic representative of the Namibian people” by a United Nations General Assembly resolution since the mid-1970s. The political culture in post-colonial Namibia is much characterized by the dominance of SWAPO as a former liberation movement and its official history. This paper summarizes the relevance of the armed struggle for the heroic narrative. It contrasts the glorification with some of the ‘hidden histories’ and trajectories related to some less documented realities of the armed struggle and its consequences which do not have much visibility in the official historiography. It thereby finally seeks to present a more nuanced picture by giving voice to some protagonists of a post-colonial political culture not considered as mainstream.
西南非洲人民组织(纳米比亚西南非洲人民组织)在反殖民运动中具有独特的地位。南非对西南非洲/纳米比亚的非法占领被联合国称为“背叛的信任”,它在20世纪60年代诉诸武装斗争。自1970年代中期以来,联合国大会通过一项决议,承认纳米比亚地方警察办事处是“纳米比亚人民唯一和真正的代表”。后殖民时期纳米比亚的政治文化很大程度上以SWAPO作为前解放运动及其官方历史的主导地位为特征。本文总结了武装斗争与英雄叙事的相关性。它将美化与一些“隐藏的历史”和轨迹进行了对比,这些历史和轨迹与一些较少记录的武装斗争的现实及其后果有关,这些现实在官方史学中没有太多的可见性。因此,它最终试图通过给一些不被认为是主流的后殖民政治文化的主角发出声音,来呈现一幅更微妙的画面。

From the Atlantic to the Indo-Pacific 从大西洋到印度太平洋

In this paper I attempt to tackle the issues of creolisation, magic, and mimesis, as well as colonialism. I will approach this last via the the first three. I begin by discussing two travel and ethnographic accounts, and then a piece by Diderot. I also discuss Taussig’s work. My overall argument, following closely on the heels of Diderot’s and Taussig’s work, but also somewhat expanding them, is that writing ethnography or any account of ‘others’ involves closely linked and complex processes of creolisation, mimesis, and magic. There is also, of course, a personal dimension to them. Such processes in fact affect not only ethnographic writing, but perhaps any writing. I also include myself in this narrative, albeit only marginally, as someone born and raised in Brazil, perhaps the most famous hub of creolisation ever, and who ventures not only across the South Atlantic, but eventually also into the Indo-Pacific world.
在这篇论文中,我试图解决克里奥尔化、魔法、模仿以及殖民主义的问题。我将通过前三个来处理最后一个问题。我首先讨论了两篇关于旅行和人种学的文章,然后是狄德罗的一篇文章。我也讨论了陶西格的工作。我的总体观点是,紧跟狄德罗和陶西格的工作,但也在一定程度上扩展了它们,即撰写人种志或任何对“他人”的描述都涉及到密切相关的、复杂的克里奥尔化、模仿和魔法过程。当然,这其中也有个人因素。事实上,这些过程不仅影响民族志写作,而且可能影响任何写作。我也把自己包括在这个故事中,尽管只是一点点,因为我在巴西出生和长大,巴西可能是有史以来最著名的克里奥尔化中心,我不仅冒险穿越南大西洋,最终还进入了印度太平洋世界。

Incarceration and Torture in Eastern African Fiction 东非小说中的监禁与酷刑
Q3 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2018-06-14 DOI: 10.1163/18757421-05001003
A. Gagiano
This article assesses representations of imprisonment without trial and inmates’ torture in three novels depicting severely repressive, murderous regimes—Malawi’s under Hastings Banda, Ethiopia’s under the Derg, and Kenya’s under colonial and successive post-colonial rulers. In The Detainee (Kayira 1974), the narrative of a naïve, apolitical villager’s unjust detention highlights unrestrained power abuse through minions and gradually uncovers atrocities. Under the Lion’s Gaze (Mengiste 2010) depicts several visceral, appalling scenes of torture as a technique of intimidation. Dust (Owuor 2014) has fewer, but harrowingly intense scenes of pain infliction on prisoners as a political tool to silence opposition. All three texts establish their importance as archival evaluations of under-reported regimes, African literary artworks, and morally responsible evocations of undeserved suffering, communicating effectively with both local and international readerships.
这篇文章评估了三部小说中对未经审判的监禁和囚犯酷刑的描述,这些小说描绘了严重镇压、凶残的政权——黑斯廷斯·班达统治下的马拉维,德格统治下的埃塞俄比亚,以及殖民和连续的后殖民统治者统治下的肯尼亚。在凯拉1974年的《被拘留者》中,讲述了一个naïve,一个不关心政治的村民被不公正的拘留,突出了通过奴才无限制地滥用权力,并逐渐揭露了暴行。《在狮子的注视下》(Mengiste 2010)描绘了几个发自内心的、骇人听闻的酷刑场景,作为一种恐吓手段。《尘埃》(Dust, 2014)中,作为压制反对派的政治工具,对囚犯施加痛苦的场景较少,但却令人痛心。这三个文本都确立了它们的重要性,作为对未被报道的政权的档案评估,非洲文学艺术作品,以及对不应有的痛苦的道德上负责任的呼唤,与当地和国际读者有效沟通。

In The Detainee (Kayira 1974), the narrative of a naïve, apolitical villager’s unjust detention highlights unrestrained power abuse through minions and gradually uncovers atrocities. Under the Lion’s Gaze (Mengiste 2010) depicts several visceral, appalling scenes of torture as a technique of intimidation. Dust (Owuor 2014) has fewer, but harrowingly intense scenes of pain infliction on prisoners as a political tool to silence opposition. All three texts establish their importance as archival evaluations of under-reported regimes, African literary artworks, and morally responsible evocations of undeserved suffering, communicating effectively with both local and international readerships.","PeriodicalId":35183,"journal":{"name":"Matatu","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81600392","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Zakes Mda is not only one of South Africa’s most significant post-apartheid novelists, but has worked in diverse media such as theatre, film, opera, painting and music. His prolific creativity in forms other than the novel needs to be taken into account when evaluating his writings. This article proposes an intermedial analysis of Black Diamond (2009), a novel which has largely been given unfavourable critical attention, and suggests that it needs to be considered as a mixed medial text that is shaped by a cinematic mode of narration. The novel is also re-interpreted in the light of a postcolonially inflected “surface reading,” which makes the pervasive visuality of Mda’s prose visible. Finally, it is argued that texts such as Black Diamond raise questions about the interpretive methodologies and reading practices in English literary studies, pointing to future challenges and opportunities in the discipline.
扎克斯·姆达不仅是南非后种族隔离时代最重要的小说家之一,而且在戏剧、电影、歌剧、绘画和音乐等多种媒体上都有作品。在评价他的作品时,需要考虑到他在小说以外的其他形式上的丰富创造力。本文对《黑钻石》(2009)进行了中间分析,这部小说在很大程度上受到了不利的批评,并建议将其视为一种由电影叙事模式塑造的混合媒介文本。这部小说也被重新诠释为后殖民时期的“表面阅读”,这使得姆达的散文无处不在的视觉可见。最后,作者认为《黑钻石》等文本对英国文学研究中的解释方法和阅读实践提出了质疑,指出了该学科未来的挑战和机遇。
