Stone Town’s busy streets in the 1950s became a set for photographer Ranchhod Oza, proprietor of Capital Art Studio (1930–83). I was aesthetically drawn to the numerous bicycles portrayed in these Zanzibari images, just as Oza had been at an earlier time and place. I am less interested in reading the subject of bicycles as simply a sign of Zanzibari modernity, an accoutrement that projects a fantasy of advancement via technological things. Instead, I focus on their ability to reflect various material aspects of daily life in Stone Town. Some bicycles carry people, others transport things, while still others appear as stage props, leaning up against walls while waiting (im)patiently for their owners to return. Yet in all these Oza images, they are moving still, ready to reach another chosen destination. What does the content of bicycles say about Oza’s photographic style? Can these bicycles potentially speak to Zanzibar’s placeness as a cosmopolitan Indian Ocean port city?
20世纪50年代,石头镇繁忙的街道成为摄影师Ranchhod Oza的拍摄地,他是资本艺术工作室的老板(1930-83)。我被这些桑给巴尔岛照片中描绘的众多自行车所吸引,就像奥扎在更早的时间和地点一样。我不太想把自行车这个主题简单地解读为桑给巴尔现代化的标志,一种通过科技产品投射出进步幻想的装备。相反,我关注的是他们反映石头城日常生活的各种物质方面的能力。有些自行车载客,有些自行车运输物品,还有一些自行车充当舞台道具,靠在墙上,耐心地等待主人回来。然而,在所有这些Oza图像中,他们仍然在移动,准备到达另一个选择的目的地。自行车的内容说明了Oza的摄影风格是什么?这些自行车能潜在地说明桑给巴尔作为一个国际化的印度洋港口城市的地位吗?

Experiments in cinematic biography: Ken Gampu’s early life in the cinema 电影传记的实验:肯·甘普在电影中的早期生活

Contemporary scholarship on South African film is yet to address the participation of Black actors in film production, exhibition and publicity. The actors’ interpretive roles in the films, their memories and experiences, and the contradictions of their participation in colonial films and beyond, form part of an unexplored and hidden archive in South African film scholarship. This article focuses on Ken Gampu’s early life in the cinema by reflecting on his participation in two films: a western The Hellions and the drama Dingaka. Gampu was a well-known South African actor and also the first Black actor from that country to succeed in Hollywood. This article proposes an experimental methodology of life-writing called ‘cinematic biography’. It shows that the cinematic lives of the marginalized and colonized actors harbour critical potential in enriching the critical perspectives on the cinema and cinematic cultures in South Africa and beyond.
当代关于南非电影的学术研究尚未涉及黑人演员在电影制作、展览和宣传中的参与。演员在电影中的解释性角色,他们的记忆和经历,以及他们参与殖民电影和其他电影的矛盾,构成了南非电影学术中未被探索和隐藏的档案的一部分。本文通过回顾肯·甘普参与的两部电影:西部片《恶狮》和剧情片《丁卡卡》,重点介绍了肯·甘普的早期电影生涯。甘普是一位著名的南非演员,也是第一位在好莱坞取得成功的南非黑人演员。本文提出了一种名为“电影传记”的人生写作实验方法。它表明,被边缘化和被殖民的演员的电影生活在丰富南非及其他地区电影和电影文化的批判性观点方面蕴藏着批判潜力。

Political economy of Nollywood: A literature review 奈莱坞的政治经济学:文献综述
IF 0.1 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-12-01 DOI: 10.1386/jac_00039_5

Political economy studies control and survival in social life. It is simply defined as the study of production and exchange and how these activities relate with the state and its laws. It is interested in how politics interacts with economics. Extensive essays and texts on the political economy of the film industry in general, and of Hollywood in particular abound. Such studies on Nollywood, the Nigerian film industry, remains scarce. But in recent times, authors, both indigenous and foreign, are beginning to give increased attention to the struggle for power and control within the industry. This study is interested in how economic activities in Nollywood interact with the law and government. It searches existent scholarship to interrogate what has been discussed on aspects of the political economy of the industry. It discusses these studies under production, distribution and consumption. It reviews other important industry matters like policies, interrogating briefly the place of MOPICON in the political economy of Nollywood. This review forms an important document for research on Nollywood, to curb and forestall consistent repetition of studies within Nollywood scholarship.
政治经济学研究社会生活中的控制和生存。它被简单地定义为研究生产和交换,以及这些活动如何与国家及其法律联系起来。它感兴趣的是政治如何与经济相互作用。关于电影业,尤其是好莱坞的政治经济的大量文章和文本比比皆是。对尼日利亚电影业诺莱坞的此类研究仍然很少。但近年来,本土和外国作家开始越来越关注行业内的权力和控制权斗争。本研究关注的是诺莱坞的经济活动如何与法律和政府互动。它搜索现有的学术来质疑在工业的政治经济学方面所讨论的内容。它在生产、分配和消费三个方面讨论了这些研究。它回顾了其他重要的行业事务,如政策,简要询问了MOPICON在诺莱坞政治经济中的地位。这篇综述是诺莱坞研究的重要文件,旨在遏制和防止诺莱坞学术界不断重复研究。

Opening the wound: Receptions and readings of Inxeba in South Africa 打开伤口:南非接待和阅读英塞巴
IF 0.1 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-12-01 DOI: 10.1386/jac_00035_1

This reading of Inxeba (2017) foregrounds the relationship between the #RhodesMustFall and #FeesMustFall movements in South Africa with the theme of wounding as an enduring social affliction in a country caught up in the midst of redefining itself after apartheid. Overtly narrated in the telling of Inxeba (2017) is the striking, amplified distinction between tradition and modernity among isiXhosa. Indeed, the polarized reception of the film among South African audiences shone a light on the slow burn of this most enduring trope. At universities across the country, Black students called for an end to the symbols of imperialist and colonialist White domination, as well as the desire to decolonize higher education by redressing Eurocentric canons of knowledge production. On the heels of the #Fallist movements, a White director makes a film about Xhosa initiation, and folds into this story a tale of homoerotic love. Notwithstanding the film’s official entry for best foreign language film at the Oscars, multiple forms of wounding came quick and heated upon the showcasing of the film’s trailer on social media.Film: Inxeba (English: The Wound): 2017 South African dramaDirector: John TrengoveLanguage: XhosaCast: Niza Jay Ncoyini as KwandaNakhane Touré as XolaniBongile Mantsai as Vija
Inxeba(2017)的这篇文章突出了南非#RhodesMustFall和#FeesMustFall运动之间的关系,主题是在种族隔离后重新定义自己的国家,伤害是一种持久的社会痛苦。Inxeba(2017)的讲述中公开讲述了伊西科萨人传统与现代之间惊人的、放大的区别。事实上,南非观众对这部电影的两极分化反映了这一最持久的比喻的缓慢燃烧。在全国各地的大学里,黑人学生呼吁结束帝国主义和殖民主义白人统治的象征,以及通过纠正以欧洲为中心的知识生产准则来实现高等教育非殖民化的愿望。继#Fallist运动之后,一位白人导演拍摄了一部关于科萨入会的电影,并在这个故事中加入了一个同性恋爱情的故事。尽管这部电影正式入围奥斯卡最佳外语片,但在社交媒体上展示这部电影的预告片时,多种形式的伤害迅速而激烈。电影:Inxeba(英语:The Wound):2017南非剧情片导演:John Trenggove语言:XhosaCast:Niza Jay Ncoyini饰演KwandaNakhane Touré饰演XolaniBongile Mantsai饰演Vija

Presence and exhibition of African film in Harlem 哈莱姆区非洲电影展

Throughout the twentieth-century American history, the circulation of African arts in the New York City runs parallel with African American activism. The African on-screen presence in Harlem needs to be examined in this broader context in order to better grasp the historical trajectory of its development in the neighbourhood and also the encounters and exchanges between Africans and African Americans. Today, the increased interest in African screen media productions result from the confluence of two phenomena: the current Black renaissance and the reconfigurations of African cinema under the influence of migration. Harlem is once again playing a pivotal role in the dissemination of African culture, specifically African cinema in the New York City.
在整个20世纪的美国历史上,非洲艺术在纽约市的传播与非裔美国人的激进主义并行。需要在更广泛的背景下审视非洲在哈莱姆区的银幕形象,以便更好地了解其在该地区发展的历史轨迹,以及非洲人和非裔美国人之间的相遇和交流。如今,人们对非洲银幕媒体制作越来越感兴趣,这是两种现象共同作用的结果:当前的黑人复兴和移民影响下非洲电影的重组。哈莱姆区再次在传播非洲文化方面发挥着关键作用,特别是在纽约市的非洲电影。

Drawing on debates on materiality, this article investigates the lives and multiple afterlives of prison identification photographs of individuals hanged by the apartheid state in South Africa during the 1960s for crimes framed as political. In recent years these photographs have been recovered and repurposed as part of post-apartheid nation-building and memorialization projects. Under the auspices of the Gallows Memorialization Project, bureaucratic records and photographs have been recovered from the apartheid state archives, reinterpreted and placed into different and new ‘presentational circumstances’ that desires to overturn their original oppressive logic. However, as the photographs and documents are used to fix the identities of particular individuals that the project seeks to commemorate, the logic that drives their reproduction in the new configurations and contexts seems to replicate the bureaucratic rationality that produced them.
基于对物质性的争论,本文调查了20世纪60年代南非种族隔离国家因政治犯罪而绞死的个人的监狱身份照片的生活和多种后遗症。近年来,这些照片被回收并重新用作后种族隔离国家建设和纪念项目的一部分。在加洛斯记忆项目的赞助下,官僚记录和照片从种族隔离的国家档案中被找回,重新解释并放置在不同的、新的“表现环境”中,这些环境希望推翻他们最初的压迫逻辑。然而,由于照片和文件被用来固定项目试图纪念的特定个人的身份,在新的配置和背景下驱动他们复制的逻辑似乎复制了产生他们的官僚理性。

Battered bodies: Characterizing Johannesburg’s apartheid past and present in Gavin Hood’s Tsotsi 残破的尸体:加文·胡德的《Tsotsi》描绘了约翰内斯堡种族隔离的过去和现在

Narratives of traumatic citizenship not only raise questions about the past, but also they give voice to contemporary stories about this past. In post-apartheid South Africa, these questions, markers of apartheid temporality, are embodied in, among other sites, the representation of battered Black bodies in cinema. This article critiques the characterization of Blacks as narrative spaces to illustrate the temporality of distress and trauma from apartheid to post-apartheid Johannesburg in Gavin Hood’s Tsotsi. It argues that the film posits Black characters as latent archives of intergenerational historical narratives that probe the apartheid past and speculate on the post-apartheid future in the city of Johannesburg. Consequently, the juxtaposition of embodied narrative archives and apartheid temporality, the article posits, is a crucial model in the theorization of battered Black bodies’ contiguous nostalgia.
对创伤性公民身份的叙述不仅引发了对过去的质疑,而且为当代关于过去的故事发声。在种族隔离后的南非,这些问题,种族隔离暂时性的标志,在电影中被殴打的黑人身体的表现中得到了体现。本文批评了加文·胡德的《措西》中黑人作为叙事空间的描述,以说明从种族隔离到后种族隔离约翰内斯堡的痛苦和创伤的时间性。它认为,这部电影将黑人角色定位为代际历史叙事的潜在档案,这些叙事探讨了种族隔离的过去,并推测了约翰内斯堡市种族隔离后的未来。因此,文章认为,具体的叙事档案和种族隔离的时间性的并置,是被殴打的黑人身体持续怀旧理论的一个关键模型。

The role of place and identity as core contributing success factors in Jayan Moodley’s Keeping up with the Kandasamys and Kandasamys: The Wedding 在Jayan Moodley的《跟上Kandasamys》和《Kandasamys: The Wedding》中,地点和身份作为核心成功因素的作用
IF 0.1 Q2 Arts and Humanities Pub Date : 2020-12-01 DOI: 10.1386/jac_00038_1
Sogen Moodley, Arushani Govender
Keeping up with the Kandasamys (Moodley 2017), a family comedy co-written and directed by Jayan Moodley, was the first cinematic feature to be set in the post-apartheid Indian township of Chatsworth, Durban and generated R16.3 million at the box office. The film delves into the matriarchal rivalry of neighbouring families while showcasing the unique Chatsworth subculture. This box office success prompted the release of the sequel Kandasamys: The Wedding (Moodley 2019), which broke its own sales record, earning R18.9 million. As filmmakers who were intimately involved in the production of the sequel, and who engaged with viewers and community members, we provide a critical analysis, reflecting on why the films attracted large audiences and galvanized an outburst of fandom. This article postulates that Indian South African audiences identified with the authentic portrayal of the nuances of every-day life in Chatsworth, resulting in feelings of visibility and nostalgia. In attempting to explain the phenomenal support from these audiences, the authors examine theories of place identity and literature on Indian South African identity, inferring that the intersection of place, and the representation of Indian South Africans in the features, is significant to the films’ success.
《与坎大萨米相随》(穆迪利2017)是一部由贾扬·穆迪利联合编剧和导演的家庭喜剧,是第一部以后种族隔离时代的印度小镇德班查茨沃斯为背景的电影,票房收入为1630万兰特。这部电影深入探讨了邻近家庭的母系氏族竞争,同时展示了独特的查茨沃斯亚文化。这一票房成功促使续集《Kandasamys: the Wedding》(Moodley 2019)的上映,打破了自己的票房纪录,收入1890万兰特。作为电影制作人,我们密切参与了续集的制作,并与观众和社区成员进行了接触,我们提供了一个批判性的分析,反映了为什么这些电影吸引了大量的观众,并激发了粉丝的爆发。本文假设印度裔南非观众认同对查茨沃斯日常生活细微差别的真实描绘,从而产生可见感和怀旧感。在试图解释这些观众的惊人支持时,作者考察了地方认同理论和印度裔南非人认同的文献,推断地方的交集,以及印度裔南非人在故事片中的表现,对电影的成功至关重要。

The film delves into the matriarchal rivalry of neighbouring families while showcasing the unique Chatsworth subculture. This box office success prompted the release of the sequel Kandasamys: The Wedding (Moodley 2019), which broke its own sales record, earning R18.9 million. As filmmakers who were intimately involved in the production of the sequel, and who engaged with viewers and community members, we provide a critical analysis, reflecting on why the films attracted large audiences and galvanized an outburst of fandom.
