Abstract:

I am a black South African in my late twenties; had I been slightly younger, I would have been a "born-free". I was raised on the master narrative that South African history in the twentieth century was a struggle against apartheid. Memories of the struggle had been mediated to me via the school curriculum, national holidays, public commemorations, public spaces, popular literature and television. This social memory of South Africa's black people having overcome the hardship, humiliation and trauma of apartheid makes little provision for the years prior to 1994 being remembered with fondness.

Abstract:

Artificiality, as a manifestation of the pursuit of escape, saturates the city and landscapes of Johannesburg. It is the narrative from which the city spawned, constructs and relentlessly perpetuates itself. This first artificial landscape is the materialization of escape, the synthetic, nostalgic reproduction of the known. Brixton cemetery is nostalgic remnant existing in Johannesburg. Looming in a state suspended animation, it is an embodiment of the amnesic material and urban blight which pervades the city, created from desire to escape. The nostalgic artificiality inherent in this cemeter

Comprising three novellas and critical research, this project defines and examines the possibilities of creative writing to expound upon and provide insight into issues of citizenship, belonging and memory. This interplay of narratives (creative and critical) speaks to the complex and intertextual nature of my research and is reminiscent of bricolage, defined by Matt Rogers as a 'multi-perspectival, multi-theoretical and multi-methodological approach to inquiry […] based on notions of eclecticism, emergent design, flexibility and plurality'.

The notion of deterritorialization occupies a central role in contemporary interpretations of immigrants’ home-related consumption engagements. Through their work on home maintenance, consumer researchers have unveiled a remarkable set of insights related to consumption patterns immigrants develop with the purpose of maintaining previous home-ties. Consumer researchers have for instance demonstrated how immigrants transform and get transformed by the home-related consumption goods available in host countries. The notion of home maintenance has been largely applied with the meaning of immigrant

Abstract:

For most writers who deal with displacement, rewriting themselves, articulating and communicating their sense of estrangment is their lifetime work. For displacement forces one to leave behind the familiar and embrace the unknown. In this process of deconstruction, the concepts of home, belonging and identity are renegotiated and questioned constantly. Le Grand Voyage – the working title for the draft of a novel that is presented in conjunction with this exegesis – is a fictional work that is produced out of the implications of displacement, which inscribes itself in a series of explorations I

Abstract:

My dissertation examines three novels by Colombian author Fernando Vallejo: La virgen de los sicarios (1994), El desbarrancadero (2001), and La rambla paralela (2002). Vallejo is considered by many to be the most controversial Latin American novelist of our time. His literary work is filled with harsh criticism towards key pillars of civilization, from religion and democracy to motherhood, making him a symbol of the "politically incorrect" in contemporary Latin American narrative. This dissertation proves that there is much more to Vallejo's work than the controversy it generates, which has be

Abstract:

During the nineteenth-century “Golden Age” of children’s literature, many British writers conceptualized childhood through the lens of restorative nostalgia, writing books that attempted to re-create an idealized version of childhood that never actually existed. This has led critics of children’s literature from this era to characterize many Victorian authors’ depictions of childhood as a fictionalized adult product that serves to colonize child readers, interpellating them into adult narratives and ideologies. Edith Nesbit was well aware of this tendency, and in The Story of the Treasure Seek

Recent Mexican narrative has produced a good number of novels where the sense of nostalgia becomes prevalent. The megalopolis that Mexico City has become with all the maladies that urban growth implies (continuous demographic and territorial growth, pollution and abuse of natural resources at the expense of many other regions of the country), is analogous to places like Rio de Janeiro, Calcutta and even Los Angeles. But beyond these, the sorrow and frustration expressed in several recent novels, points to the frustration of the middle classes portrayed in these narratives. At issue is their re
