Migration and the South in J.M. Coetzee’s 'Jesus' novels
April 2023
|
Journal article
|
Journal of Modern Literature
The first two novels in South African and Australian writer J.M. Coetzee's Jesus novel trilogy invite being read as studies in migration that explore the ambiguities of crossing over and arriving in a seeming "new life," as it is repeatedly called. The Childhood of Jesus (2013) and The Schooldays of Jesus (2016) dramatize this arrival as a one-way experience, with no possibility of return. Moreover, key features of the migrant crossing—contingency, isolation, an inarticulable mystery and strangeness, and repetition—are evoked through what we might term a southern poetics, following Coetzee's own definition of the "one south." This southern framing in turn throws light on the provinciality of the trilogy's settings, on the provisional and derivative nature of the lives lived there, and on the precarity of migrant crossings, not least in the south, including the Global South, today.
The importance of being open: publishing OA monographs
March 2023
|
Conference paper
Long form research, including monographs, is starting to feature in research funder policy mandates. UK Research and Innovation have recently announced a monographs component to their open access policy, starting from 2024. This developing form of publication has many exciting advantages in making research openly available, but also comes with its own set of challenges.
<br><br>
This session will explore Open Monograph publishing primarily from a researcher’s point of view, and the alternative approaches and new models that are being developed. Chaired by Professor Chris Wickham, you will hear from a range of speakers who have published OA monographs or are involved in supporting the transition to them. This session will:
<br><br>
<ul><li>Give an overview of the current situation with OA for long form research.</li>
<li>Explore challenging areas within Open Monograph publication, especially the aspects of reputation and prestige, copyright, and the wide variety of publishing models.</li>
<li>Hear from traditional publishers and an independent Open Access publisher on how they view the challenges and opportunities of Open Monograph publication.</li>
<li>Discuss with Oxford Academics their experiences and the opportunities and challenges they faced with OA book publishing.</li></ul>

Immigration, Border Crossing, and the Postcolonial Studies in Britain: An Interview with Elleke Boehmer
August 2021
|
Journal article
|
Foreign Literature Studies
Elleke Boehmer is Professor of World Literature at the English Department, University of Oxford. She is a founding figure in the field of colonial and postcolonial studies, known internationally for her research in Anglophone literatures of empire and anti-empire, while also being a novelist and short-story writer. She is the general editor of the book series, Oxford Studies in Postcolonial Literatures (OUP). Many Chinese scholars came to understand the postcolonial studies through her book, Colonial and Postcolonial Literature: Migrant Metaphors (1995), when this field began to be introduced into China. This interview, conducted in two parts before and during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, addresses a number of important issues in postcolonial studies in the UK, such as the history of the postcolonial literary studies in Britain, the core issues the British scholars are currently concerning about, the relationship between colonial and postcolonial studies, the influence of the ethnic and immigrant writers on contemporary British literature, the prospects of the postcolonial studies, and the impact on it of the COVID-19 pandemic. While indicating "immigration" as the key topic all along, she emphasizes the importance of border-crossing in postcolonial studies and its methodological improvement on interdisciplinary studies.

Worlding the south: nineteenth-century literary culture and the southern settler colonies
Centring its insights in the border-traversing, world-opening capacities of imaginative southern writing and reading, this chapter offers a closing meditation on some of the more elusive meanings and heuristics of the south that the collection calls up. Inspired by the same critical orientations that the collection explores, it questions the extent to which the conceptual and historical remoteness of the south can ever be fully perceived and understood in geo-epistemological terms, arguing that southness will perhaps always elude northern analysis to some degree, its local and indigenous detail always slipping just beyond the frame. Efforts to re-territorialise global intellectual production therefore face a significant philosophical challenge that cannot be solved by a critical theory predicated on dominant northern constructs. To see the ‘south in the world’ means not just contemplating the world from the various perspectives and orientations of its different southerly regions and their histories, but also looking to the side, beyond ‘centres in modernity’, towards ‘composite and overlapping’ Black and Indigenous realities. The south thus both invites and makes possible archipelagic readings and heuristics, encouraging us to think connectively and fluidly through and across its spaces. Resistance emerges out of the structural flaws, gaps, broken links, and ellipses that are endemic to any colonial-type assertion of planetary consciousness.

Interventions: International Journal of Postcolonial Studies
This essay sets out to show how stories can help shape and change people’s understanding of their environment and how it impacts upon them. We report on how these ideas of storytelling informed a March 2020 UKRI GCRF funded Accelerate Hub workshop in Cape Town, South Africa, on narrative and adolescence in Africa, and point to related examples of storytelling interventions from elsewhere on the continent. We then explore questions that the workshop raised about the kinds of storytelling available to young people on the continent today and how understanding people’s stories is important for social policy design. The essay draws on the work of the Black Consciousness thinker and activist Steve Biko (1946–77), and of Kenyan writer and activist Binyavanga Wainaina (1971– 2019), to outline the significance of storytelling to projects of individual and collective emancipation. We build the case that there is an uneven geography of stories: that different people have different access to narrative making and therefore to self-envisioning. The essay closes by exploring how better access to infrastructures of storytelling might provide grounds for transformation in young people’s lives in Africa, and so might condition our approaches to policy intervention in African contexts. We suggest that linking storytelling, agency and social context to the field of social development and intervention can have important practical benefits for young people across Africa.

This essay probes the value of Nelson Rohihlahla Mandela’s career and life’s work as an ongoing object lesson or theory-in-practice. Using two case studies – of the 2019 ‘Official Exhibition’ and of a poem by Koleka Putuma referencing Mandela – the essay asks how South Africa’s first democratic president’s way of doing politics and his facility of interacting even-handedly with political enemies and friends lay down models for the country in the future. In particular, what might Mandela’s story continue to teach us about social justice, empathy and political transformation?

Making freedom: Jawaharlal Nehru's an autobiography (1936) and the discovery of India (1946)
June 2019

Chapter
|
Fighting Words: Fifteen Books that Shaped the Postcolonial World
This chapter considers Jawaharlal Nehru's autobiographies An Autobiography (1936) and The Discovery of India (1946) as at once nation- and self-making books. It suggests that the two books worked together to exert a shaping influence on the postcolonial world. In his autobiographies, Nehru (1889-1964) mobilized his readers to think of themselves as citizens and also supplied them with a new independent temporality with which to identify. As such, Nehru's two books became icons and models for the leader's (auto)biography across the postcolonial world.
Students exercised by decolonisation show us a new way of opening out English studies
Postcolonial Poetics is about how we read postcolonial and world literatures today, and about how the structures of that writing shape our reading. The book's eight chapters explore the ways in which postcolonial writing in English from various 21st-century contexts, including southern and West Africa, and Black and Asian Britain, interacts with our imaginative understanding of the world. Throughout, the focus is on reading practices, where reading is taken as an inventive, border-traversing activity, one that postcolonial writing with its interests in margins, intersections, subversions, and crossings specifically encourages. This close, sustained focus on reading, reception, and literariness is an outstanding feature of the study, as is its wide generic range, embracing poetry, essays, and life-writing, as well as fiction. The field-defining scholar Elleke Boehmer holds that literature has the capacity to keep reimagining and refreshing how we understand ourselves in relation to the world and to some of the most pressing questions of our time, including resistance, reconciliation, survival after terror, and migration.
The mind in motion: A cognitive reading of W.B. Yeats’s ‘long-legged fly’
January 2018
|
Chapter
|
Reading Beyond the Code: Literature and Relevance Theory
Drawing on insights from relevance theory, the chapter explores how W.B. Yeats’s late poem ‘Long-legged Fly’ creates an exemplary occasion for reflecting first on cognition and then on the ways in which cognition might be made manifest in poetic language; in particular, here, in a dominant simile that repeats as a refrain through the poem. Processing the three stanzas’ different inferential, sensorimotor, and intertextual effects, we as readers at one and the same time contemplate in each case a body in thought, and we contemplate ourselves thinking. The poem in this sense repeatedly performs how a history-changing reflective moment holds a range of creative energies in dynamic tension. Relevance theory’s ‘loose’ sifting of literal and other meanings, in Deirdre Wilson’s words, allows us to become aware of these two processes unfolding at the same time, and in relation to each other, as is demonstrated in this close reading.

Cambridge Journal of Postcolonial Literary Inquiry
This essay discusses the activity of reading in three postcolonial novels from three different national contexts (Dangarembga in Zimbabwe, Kapur in India, and Adichie in Nigeria). The essay considers the scenes of focused, respectful, even canonical reading staged in these novels, alongside the more selective or eclectic ‘reading’ and citation taking place at the level of the narration. On the basis of this contrast, it suggests that the postcolonial and transnational publics interpellated by the novels are sometimes different from the audiences or readers dramatized in the texts. It concludes by pointing to the particularly layered—at once deferential and exploratory—reading that is staged within, and by, the postcolonial novel. The essay is shaped by post-critical, cognitive, and hermeneutic approaches to narrative and reading drawn from Rita Felski, James Phelan, Dan Sperber, and Deirdre Wilson.

Book
The original essays in Oxford Twenty-First Century Approaches to Literature mean to provoke rather than reassure, to challenge rather than codify. Instead of summarizing existing knowledge scholars working in the field aim at opening fresh discussion; instead of emphasizing settled consensus they direct their readers to areas of enlivened and unresolved debate.
This volume opens up, in new and innovative ways, a range of dimensions, some familiar and some more obscure, of late Victorian and modern literature and culture, primarily in British contexts. Late Victorian into Modern emphasises the in-between: the gradual changeover from one period to the next. The volume examines shared developments, points out continuities rather than ruptures, and explores and exploits an understanding of the late nineteenth to the early twentieth centuries as a cultural moment in which new knowledges were forming with particular speed and intensity. The organising principle of this book is to retain a key focus on literary texts, broadly understood to include familiar categories of genre as well as extra-textual elements such as press and publishing history, performance events and visual culture, while remaining keenly attentive to the inter-relations between text and context in the period. Individual chapters explore such topics as Celticism, the New Woman, popular fictions, literatures of empire, aestheticism, periodical culture, political formations, avant-garde poetics, and theatricality.

European Journal of English Studies
This essay analyses Coetzee’s success as a world literary author, from two distinct angles. The first stems from his non-European ‘southern’ position (and self-positioning) as a South African and then Australian writer with South American links, and his subscription to an ‘imaginary of the South’. The second looks beyond the colonial indebtedness to Europe, focusing instead on some of the ‘minor’ European cultures to which the oeuvre refers, and then on the ways in which it evokes Asia. As will be seen, Coetzee’s work from the very start acknowledges the pivotal role of Asia in the formation of Western identity.

Reading between life and work: reflections on ‘J.M. Coetzee’
January 2016

Textual Practice: an international journal of radical literary studies
JM Coetzee has remarked that all autobiography is story-telling and also that all writing is a kind of autobiography. Exploring this link between (auto)biography, and fiction as 'writing', this essay will offer critical reflections on J.M. Coetzee’s longstanding life-writing or ‘autre-fictional’ project as it intersects with two recent biographical studies, John Kannemeyer’s <em>J.M. Coetzee: A Life in Writing</em> (2012), and David Attwell’s <em>J.M. Coetzee and the Life of Writing: Face to Face with Time</em> (2015). I will consider the links that are drawn between the author’s life and his writing in the Kannemeyer biography and in Attwell’s book historical study, and will set these against the interplay between self-masking and self-retrospection that marks Coetzee’s oeuvre, not least the <em>Scenes from Provincial Life</em> trilogy. This reading will shed light on the tireless oscillation in Coetzee’s work between the ’expressive function’ of language on the one hand, and the concealment that metaphor and symbolization allow on the other.

Indian Arrivals, 1870-1915 Networks of British Empire
September 2015
|
Book
Indian Arrivals 1870-1915: Networks of British Empire explores the rich and complicated landscape of intercultural contact between Indians and Britons on British soil at the height of empire, as reflected in a range of literary writing, including poetry and life-writing. The book's four decade-based case studies, leading from 1870 and the opening of the Suez Canal, to the first years of the Great War, investigate from several different textual and cultural angles the central place of India in the British metropolitan imagination at this relatively early stage for Indian migration. Focussing on a range of remarkable Indian 'arrivants' ― scholars, poets, religious seekers, and political activists including Toru Dutt and Sarojini Naidu, Mohandas Gandhi and Rabindranath Tagore ― Indian Arrivals examines the take-up in the metropolis of the influences and ideas that accompanied their transcontinental movement, including concepts of the west and of cultural decadence, of urban modernity and of cosmopolitan exchange. If, as is now widely accepted, vocabularies of inhabitation, education, citizenship and the law were in many cases developed in colonial spaces like India, and imported into Britain, then, the book suggests, the presence of Indian travellers and migrants needs to be seen as much more central to Britain's understanding of itself, both in historical terms and in relation to the present-day. The book demonstrates how the colonial encounter in all its ambivalence and complexity inflected social relations throughout the empire, including at its heart, in Britain itself: Indian as well as other colonial travellers enacted the diversity of the empire on London's streets.

Journal of Postcolonial Writing
This article explores the ways in which postcolonial literary and other cultural texts navigate, decode and in some cases re-imagine the infrastructures that organize urban life, particularly in the postcolonial cities of Johannesburg, London and Delhi. Readings of Ivan Vladislavić, Mark Gevisser Brian Chikwava, Selma Dabbagh, Rana Dasgupta and Manju Kapur consider the constantly shifting relationship between urban planning, the organization of public space, and various other forms of human intervention, and suggest that the ways in which urban spaces are mapped in creative practice can explore, negotiate and at times disrupt and reconstruct that relationship.

It looks at the journal’s relations to the emerging and rapidly changing field of postcolonial literary studies, when <em>JCL</em> shifted from offering fairly predictable close readings of writers still predominantly described as “Commonwealth”, to more prominently theorized accounts of migrant and national narratives.

The paper examines the increasing competition in the academic market between conventional terms like <em>postcolonial</em> and <em>anglophone literature</em> and their cognates, and the newly current term <em>world literature</em>. Even in postcolonial studies circles, world literature is increasingly taken to refer not only to ‘the best ever written’, as before, but to literature produced within and in response to a globalizing world. The paper explores the different valences of this shift, and the tensions and contradictions it has generated within the wider anglophone literary field.
