    Narrating post-colonial crisis: the post-colonial state and the individual in the works of Sony Labou Tansi

    No full text
    Thesis (M.A.)--University of the Witwatersrand, 1999.In this study I will examine two texts by the Congolese author Sony Labou Tansi, namely The Seven Solitudes of Lorsa Lopez and Parenthesis of Blood. The aim of the research is to examine how and why the author uses techniques of allegory and magic realism instead of realism in his work. By closely examining the two texts and with the help of comparisons with his other works, I intend to show that the world he is representing is too fabulous to be rendered in a realistic manner. The use of allegory and irony in the text is a strategy that helps the author to challenge the oppression and despair in his society. The issue of gender is also important in both texts, therefore, I will examine how Labou Tansi portrays women in his works. I will do this by comparing his presentation of women to other female characters found in African canonical works by male writers

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902

    No full text
    In Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.

    Un véritable écrivain se reconnaît au fait que ceux qui ont rencontré son œuvre deviennent des initiés, qui sauront se battre contre les grands déterminismes éditoriaux pour la faire vivre envers et contre tout. La publication de trois livres d’inédits de Sony Labou Tansi, dix ans après la mort de l’écrivain congolais, est le signe que cette œuvre est encore active, qu’elle commence à peine à parler au monde.

    Writing against extraction: Petroleum resistance in Sony Labou Tansi’s Je, soussigné cardiaque

    No full text
    This paper analyses the presence of petroleum in the 1977 play Je, soussigné cardiaque by Congolese writer Sony Labou Tansi. The play relates petroleum extraction led by the Spanish colonist Perono in the imaginary country of Lebango. The main character, Mallot, is a new teacher in town. He is accompanied by his pregnant wife and their young daughter. Mallot realizes that Perono rules over this petro-imperial tyranny, where the Lebangolese ecosystem is shaped and voided by resource exploitation. My reading focuses on the presence of petroleum beyond an anthropocentric perspective that sees it only as a resource, as I argue that petroleum offers new possibilities of nonhuman resistance to extraction.Cet article analyse la présence du pétrole dans la pièce Je, soussigné cardiaque publiée en 1977 par l’écrivain congolais Sony Labou Tansi. Cette pièce décrit l’extraction du pétrole menée par le colon espagnol Perono dans le pays imaginaire du Lebango. Le personnage principal, Mallot, nouvel enseignant fraîchement arrivé en ville avec sa femme enceinte et leur petite fille, se rend rapidement compte que Perono est à la tête d’une tyrannie qui s’appuie sur l’extraction du pétrole et menace l’écosystème lebangolais. Cette lecture se concentre sur le pétrole qui, loin d’être réduit à une simple ressource, offre une résistance proprement non-humaine à la tyrannie de l’extraction
