Abstract:

Fra titlen til de sidste scener i Helon Habilas roman Olie på vand (2010) præsenterer olie sig som stemning, miljø og atmosfære. Når fortælleren Rufus baner sig vej ind i Nigerdeltaet er atmosfæren tung med ”den luftbårne dunst af død materie… grene beklædt med døde fugle, de udstrakte vinger sorte og glatte af olie” og græs ”kvalt af en film af olie, hvert strå dækket med klatter, som leverpletter på en rygers hånd” (Habila 9f). Olie forsegler atmosfæren i Olie på vand i en sådan grad, at forskellige ting – lugte, fugle, græs – bliver udtryk for den samme ting. Når vi når til midten af romanen, er selv de indsatte i fængslet således dækket af olie som straf, i hvad romanen kalder en ”brutal salvelse” (Habila 60). I romanens sidste scene bliver ”litervis af olie, der flyder på vandet” beskrevet som en ”løkke, der strammer om halsen på enhver livsform, der befinder sig nedenunder” (Habila 238). I Abdelrahman Munifs Byer af salt (1984) – romanen, der inspirerede Amitav Ghosh til i en anmeldelse at opfinde begrebet petrofiktion – arbejder råolien derimod bag scenerne på betydningsfulde måder, men er aldrig fysisk tilstede (se Ghosh 138-151). Hvorfor denne overflod af fysiske beskrivelser af olie i romaner af nyere dato?

Abstract:

<p>A number of literary and linguistic researches have been carried out on post-independent Nigerian quagmire. The concerns of some of these studies range from investigating many of the topical issues that have come to define the country, particularly with regard to the issues of bad governance and socio-economic oppression, to the roles played by the masses in aggravating the nation’s predicaments. However, not many critics and scholars have paid the deserved attention to the ecological concerns of Nigerian novelists. This paper, therefore, examines Helon Habila’s Oil on Water as a testament to the environmental mindfulness of Nigerian novelists. The choice of Oil on Water is informed by the fact that there is a dearth of serious scholarly research on the novel. Using the sociological approach and adopting a content analysis method, this study finds out that Habila is not oblivious of the ecological implications of man’s exploitative tendencies on earth’s resources as he makes bare the grim effects of Man’s reckless actions on the environment, the society and other living things, thereby rousing the consciousness of his readers as a way of forcing them to contribute their quota towards making the earth a safe place to live in, free from further gratuitous exploitations by a few to the disadvantage of many. It is, nevertheless, found out that the author fails to suggest pragmatic solutions to the staggering challenges confronting the oil-polluted and violence-ridden nation of Niger Delta.</p>

Abstract:

This article analyses images of the refugee in the novel Travellers (2019) by Helon Habila and examines their connection to dignity and personal history. Travellers captures the complex and intricate situations of refugees and migrants in Europe, providing insights about urgent social issues such as inequality, racism and discrimination. The novel also raises questions relating to human rights discourses and how they connect with personal history. While Travellers does not explicitly deal with the refugee crisis in 2015, during which about 1 million people sought asylum in Europe, it does address the situation of thousands of people trying to enter Europe for a variety of reasons and in different contexts. The theoretical framework is partly built around the concept of postmigration which attempts to go beyond seeing the migrant as the perpetual other and to advocate views of migration as an inherent part of society. The analysis focuses on instances of uncertainty and lack of unity, on migration as a separating, dividing experience, but also examines to what extent Travellers manifests and reinvents the postmigrant condition with its focus towards the future and seeing society itself as postmigrant, particularly through its depictions of dignity.

Abstract:

AbstractSince its establishment more than a decade ago, the cultural and political debate on Afropolitanism has been characterized by several different positions. In particular, the Afropolitan opposition to any kind of essentialism (Eze 2014) has been counterweighed by the necessity of a connection to “knowable African communities, nations and traditions” (Gikandi 2011, 9). This debate has been reproducing a typical oscillation of postcolonial theory and criticism between the celebration of hybridity (Bhabha 1994) and the interpretation of postcolonial texts as “national allegories” (Jameson 1986). At the same time, Afropolitanism appears to be related to a more recent phenomenon, which has been defined as “national failure” in political analysis (Zartman 1995; Rotberg 2004) and “failed-state fiction” in literary criticism (Marx 2008). The latter sheds a different light on Afropolitanism, by showing its advantages and its limits both on a national and transnational level. In view of this, Afropolitan literature – including the paradigmatic works by Helon Habila (2002, 2007, 2010) and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (2006, 2013) here analyzed – appears to be based on the persistence of “old names,” or categories, in an uneven but fruitful coexistence with the “new” ones (Eze 2016).

Abstract:

The Niger delta of Nigeria has been besieged by a lot of crises, which have posed serious security risks to the region. This has adversely and seriously affected not only the region, but Nigeria in general. The processes of crude oil extraction in the Niger delta have resulted in ecological degradation and oil pollutions, thereby doing a lot of damages to the farmlands and fishing waters of the people, whose major occupations are farming and fishing. Petroleum, the main source of Nigeria’s revenue is obtained in the Niger delta. Yet, Deltans are confronted with a lot of problems; they are impoverished, exploited, neglected and marginalized despite the economic value of the region to the Nigerian economy. No serious or commensurate efforts are made by the government or the multinational oil companies operating in the region to compensate the people for the losses they suffer through oil pollutions. This has resulted in a lot of protests and violence, culminating in the social unrest in the region. To this effect, there have been reactions to the crises in diverse ways. Though such efforts have yielded little dividends, the crises have persisted. Niger delta deserves priority attention in terms of human and infrastructural developments. In the literary circle, some Nigerian literary artists have expressed concern over the issue with a view to creating awareness on the seriousness of the crises, and advancing suggestions that will proffer permanent solutions to the problems. This paper examines and expounds how Helon Habila deploys the mood system as a language tool in his novel, Oil on Water, to address the Niger Delta crises. He advances suggestions to put an end to the crises in order to restore peace, and enhance sustainable development in Nigeria.

Abstract:

At first sight there appear to be three human participants in the Niger Delta struggle in Helon Habila’s novel Oil on Water. The soldiers sent by the federal government keep the oil business running; the armed rebels fight to protect the environment and for a say in the distribution of petrodollars; and the local villagers find themselves wedged in-between. This article claims that the fourth actor in the ecodrama is the brutalized landscape. Far from assuming a passive role, nature in Oil on Water strikes back through Habila’s prose. The devastated land is given a powerful voice in order to demand an urgent need for action to stop any further destruction caused by mindless oil extraction.

Abstract:

La littérature nigériane du début du XXIe siècle repositionne la notion d'identité dans un contexte d'immigration et de mondialisation qui la complexifie et la remet en question. Si l'affirmation de l'identité nationale n'est plus une priorité, la troisième génération d'écrivains nigérians met l'accent sur des représentations de l'identité comme parcours et dynamique.L'identité est d'abord envisagée comme une construction spatio-temporelle axée sur l'héritage des cultures traditionnelles, les représentations de l'espace et le rapport à l'Histoire. Toutefois, cette construction est remise en question à travers l'expérience traumatique et l'immigration. L'entre-deux spatial et culturel qui en résulte engendre une crise des liens familiaux et de la filiation, qui deviennent ainsi l'objet d'un conflit entre l'identité héritée et l'identité créée. Enfin, cet élan vers l'avenir des possibles donne à l'identité une configuration kaléidoscopique, à l'image de la pluralité linguistique et l'intertextualité. L'écriture du soi est associée à une chambre d'écho de langues, de voix et de formes littéraires enchâssées.Pour conclure, l'époque de la mondialisation et de la mobilité traduit aussi une transformation de la notion d'identité en raison des multiples espaces culturels où vivent les individus. Ainsi, l'écriture de l'identité comme « donnée initiale » évolue vers une écriture de la somme des possibilités d'être
Nigerian literature at the dawn of the 21st century places the notion of identity in a context of immigration and globalization which complexifies and questions it. If the affirmation of national identity is no longer a priority, the third generation of Nigerian writers focuses on representations of identity as process and dynamics.Identity is first envisaged as a spatial and temporal construction around the heritage of Nigerian traditional cultures, the representations of space and its relation to History. However, this construction is questioned through the traumatic experience and immigration. The resulting spatial and cultural in-between space entails a crisis of the family ties, which become the object of a conflict between inherited and created identity. Finally, this momentum towards the future gives identity a kaleidoscopic configuration related to linguistic plurality and intertextuality. The writing of the self is associated to an echo chamber of languages, voices and embedded literary forms.To conclude, the age of globalization and mobility entails a transformation of the notion of identity due to multitude of cultural spaces where individuals live. The writing of the self as « initial data » thus evolves towards a writing of the sum of the possibilities of being

Abstract:

This thesis examines the causes and consequences of habitat selection and timing of breeding of the Great Blue Heron (Ardea herodias). My general hypothesis was that the duration of low tides and seasonal abundance of prey strongly influenced the location of colony-sites; timing of the breeding season; habitat shifts; and the use of space by foraging herons of different age- and sex-classes. I studied Great Blue Herons along the Pacific coast of Canada for five breeding seasons and four winters. Breeding herons were studied at a colony of 85 to 100 pairs on Sidney Island near the town of Sidney, and periodic visits were made to about 40 other colonies around the Strait of Georgia, British Columbia. At Sidney, I studied the foraging behaviour, food availability, habitat use and reproductive success in detail. At other colonies, I recorded the reproductive success of herons, located their main feeding areas and searched for nests of a predator, the Bald Eagle. In the non-breeding season, I investigated the foraging behaviour, dispersion pattern and habitat shifts of juvenile and post-breeding adult herons in the Fraser River delta. I hypothesized that heron colony-sites were located near food supplies or away from predators. Twenty-nine of 33 colony-sites were located within 6 km of their main feeding site. The number of heron pairs was slightly greater where eagles nested in high abundance than where eagle abundance was low, contrary to the hypothesis that breeding herons avoid areas with active eagle nests. I hypothesized that herons began breeding in spring shortly after females acquired enough food energy to make eggs, or so chicks were in nests when food was most plentiful to their parents. Egg-laying began about 9 days after a female's daily food intake crossed an energy threshold of 1715 kJ/day, whereas the peak availability of food energy to adults occurred about 35 days before the peak food demands of their chicks. Food intake rates by adults increased gradually in March and April with the increasing duration of low tides and the inshore movement of fishes. Adult food intake rates reached a peak in May when sea perch were most abundant, and diminished through June and July. Most juvenile and adult female herons foraged on beaches from February to October and in marshlands and grasslands from November to January. Some males returned to territories along riverbanks in August and remained there until the start of the next breeding season in March. I tested the hypothesis that herons leave foraging habitats in autumn when they can no longer catch enough food or when interference from conspecifics reduced foraging intake rates below a threshold required to maintain their energy balance. In October and November adults moved to marshlands and juveniles moved to grasslands when they could no longer maintain daily energy balance on beaches as a result of declining duration of low tides and food intake rates. Interference competition was too infrequent to explain habitat shifts by adult or juvenile herons in autumn.

Abstract:

In Bonheur d'occasion (1945), Hey Waitress and Other Stories (1989), Les enfants Beaudet (2001) and Lullabies for Little Criminals (2006), the characters struggle with exclusion, confinement and lack of social recognition in precarious environments. Moving in and out of home, they resist power structures that define and delineate their living spaces and they use strategies of transgression that allow them to make sense of their existence in relation to other people who share similar struggles. One aspect of the transgressive function of the texts is to represent alternative spaces in the lives of women and children that result from their experiences of struggle. The texts dramatize a desire for alternatives to dealing with spatial distress, economic crisis and sex-gendered boundaries. This desire is represented by the female and child characters' survival strategies, which show their capacity to surmount the socio-spatial difficulties. As Barbara Godard remarked, one of the aims of recent feminist research"coincides with the efforts of women writers to open new dimensions of space, to allow women freedom of movement, without hesitancy, or fear, or obstacle, through geographic and political spaces, but, more fundamentally, through cultural, conceptual and imaginary spaces" (Godard 2). Looking closely at how authors Gabrielle Roy, Helen Potrebenko, Isabel Vaillancourt and Heather O'Neill dramatize female and child characters' movement through and experience of daily living spaces, I suggest that, indeed, the texts open and question the geographical, material, sex-gendered, and imaginary spaces in which fictionalized subjects struggle to exist. By exploring the characters' experience of spatial, economic and psychosocial distress, I argue that the fictionalized subjects are able to build localized spaces of comfort both in the public and in the private sphere and thus to find a certain"freedom of movement" (Godard 2). Their survival strategies used for coping with social, spatial, economic, and physical boundaries show that they are agents of change and capable of finding and preserving minimum comfort in living spaces. For instance, the characters show ambivalence towards their sense of home, and, accordingly, they seek to rebuild and/or negotiate this living space through alternative sites such as embodied, fantasized or shared spatiality. I will read the texts according to the experiences of struggle of the characters, the represented survival strategies, and textual elements such as narrative point of view and discourses on space, gender and poverty. Bonheur d'occasion concentrates on the ways of using and creating space to get out of poverty and represents women's active, but subjugated, roles. The collection of short stories Hey Waitress and Other Stories gathers fictional voices of working-class, elderly, and poor subjects who experience sex-gendered, spatial, and economic struggle. These struggles create a space for alternatives and for resistance in living spaces that are open to change. Les enfants Beaudet fictionalizes the lives of children who, as a closed group, try to appropriate private and public spaces and use violence and revenge to cope with feelings of abandonment and injustice. Finally, Lullabies for Little Criminals , a first-person narrative, dramatizes the daily struggles of a pre-teenager who goes from one place to another, searching for recognition and a sense of home in Montreal. Each text represents particular living spaces and lived spatiality that situate and inscribe the agency of the female and child protagonists. Despite spatial crises, these stories dramatize how oppressed subjects are able to take action. Drawing on theories of space (Henri Lefebvre, Elizabeth Grosz, Kristinne Miranne and Alma H. Young), home (Catherine Wiley, Thomas Foster, Janet Zandy) and the fictional representation of poverty (Roxanne Rimstead), this thesis analyses home, the workplace, the body, and the shared space of solidarity as fragile, limited and conflicting sites. The four books dramatize the socio-spatial distress of characters that arise when precarious living conditions limit their opportunities for survival and subjecthood. I suggest, more particularly, that the negotiation of space is an important part of the process of identity formation through which the characters find a sense of home between the material and the psychological, the public and the private, and individuality and solidarity.

Abstract:

Helon Habila left Nigeria for the first time to receive the Caine prize in England in 2001 (The Guardian) and was at the time still working as a journalist. The narrator of his Novel Oil on Water (2011) is also a journalist. Rufus is a journalist seeking the truth. The purpose of this essay is to show how unsustainability manifests itself in Helon Habila's Oil on Water. Unsustainability is either economic, a form of neocolonialism, or ecological in Habila's novel. I use economic, neocolonialist and ecocritical references and theories to illustrate my interpretation of Oil on Water and to show that Habila denounces all the previously mentioned forms of unsustainability. In pursuing this aim I finally evoke potential ideas that could lead to the path of a more sustainable future for the Niger Delta.

Abstract:

A phenomenon of large, upland breeding colonies of cattle egrets in residential areas of Central Texas has been observed since the early 1960s. These large concentrations of breeding birds can be a nuisance to nearby residents and their management has been difficult. To help understand why cattle egrets choose upland, residential breeding sites, and predict where these might occur, the geographic extent of the phenomenon was bounded within Texas, a habitat suitability model constructed, and reproductive success compared by breeding habitat type to evaluate if residential nesting confers an adaptive advantage.. Records of upland cattle egret colonies were found only in Central Texas, not other parts of the state. The habitat suitability model was constructed using total edge of three land use classes: water, forest, and developed classes. The model classified 78.6 % of upland colonies in very high or high suitability classes and 7.1% of colonies in low or very low suitability classes. This distribution was significantly different than expected considering the overall ratio of suitability scores in the entire raster model (p = 0.036). Nineteen active colonies were found in or bordering the Post Oak Savannah and Blackland Prairie ecoregions. Colonies were in residential, urban, island, and flooded tree and shrub habitat. Nests were found in 12 different tree and shrub species. Residential colonies had more breeding pairs, greater nest survival, and were less productive than non-residential colonies on average, but these differences were not statistically significant. Colonies where nest substrate was removed were not reused and no breeding was initiated nearby the next year. Propane cannons discouraged reuse of colony after prolonged application. Herons and egrets likely use residential sites when wetland habitats are limited. Their overall breeding distribution reflects state wide rainfall and wetland availability patterns with upland nesting in Central Texas, wetland nesting in eastern and coastal regions, and little large scale nesting in western Texas. Egrets and herons may use edges of development as breeding sites to limit predation by ground predators when flooded tree and shrub or island habitats are absent, but this hypothesis needs more testing.

Abstract:

This chapter describes Wolff's childhood and formative years in the world of music. Born to cellist Kurt Wolff and his wife Helen in 1934, Christian Wolff grew up during an era of political unrest, which later culminated in the Second World War. Though born in France to German parents, Wolff would spend a significant part of his life in the United States, where he had begun an informal education in music, and where he would eventually study under his mentor John Cage, from whom Wolff would draw the fundamental ideas, habits, and relationships that would guide the rest of his compositional career. Here, the chapter shows how Wolff's early opus—which set the pattern for all his subsequent compositional periods—were formed and influenced through Cage's instruction. Yet the chapter shows that this influence proved reciprocal, with Wolff likewise leaving his own lasting impacts upon Cage's compositional career.

Abstract:

This chapter examines texts about the Niger Delta in several genres (Ogaga Ifowodo’s poem The Oil Lamp; fiction by Uwem Akpan, Helon Habila, and Ben Okri; the photo-essay anthology Curse of the Black Gold; Sandy Cioffi’s film Sweet Crude). Juxtaposing political ecology’s analysis of natural resource conflicts with Benedict Anderson’s notion of imagined communities, the chapter argues that the relationships among petroleum extraction, literary production, and national imagining in Nigeria are better described as un-imagining, a corollary of underdevelopment as a transitive process of unmaking. Postcolonial citizenship entails a struggle over key questions: What is the state for? To whom do natural resources belong? Oil hijacks the imagination, promising wealth without work, progress without the passage of time. This dynamic manifests as petro-magic-realism, a literary variant of the resource curse hypothesis that blames the ills of resource extraction on the substance rather than social relations. The execution of Ken Saro-Wiwa in 1995 galvanized world attention on the Nigerian petro-state; the subsequent explosion of violence in the Niger Delta can be read as a perverse realization of some of his demands for ethnic autonomy and resource control.

Abstract:

Showing how elegy thrives as vibrantly in contemporary narrative as in its natural habitat of poetry, Chapter 3 reads two grief-memoirs—Julian Barnes’s Levels of Life (2013) and Helen Macdonald’s H is for Hawk (2014)—alongside Colm Tóibín’s 2014 historical (and implicitly autobiographical) novel, Nora Webster. Together they ask not only whether grief’s intricacies can ever be captured in language but also whether the quest for such a language reaches for aesthetic consolations of its own, setting up an internal competition in these works between bereavement’s ingenious description and the proviso of inexpressibility that elegies often thematize. The chapter revisits critical accounts of elegy as a genre that has traditionally fostered solace, in order to show how Barnes, Macdonald, and Tóibín intensify elegy’s reflexivity and its capacity to resist the simplification of consolation itself as a flimsy remedy bent on resolution.
