         Speaking with a Forked Tongue: Disgrace and the Irony of Reconciliation in Postapartheid South Africa  
 
Author   Roy,Sohinee (Author)
Journal Title   Modern Fiction Studies
Volume/ Issue   2012/WINTER V.58 N.4
Physical Description   p 699-722
Subject Area   Literature & rhetorice
Abstract   This essay uses Kierkegaard and Schlegel’s concept of philosophical irony to read J. M. Coetzee’s Disgrace. In the novel Coetzee uses irony to suggest that the contradictions of ethical representation are rooted in South Africa’s racial history. In effect, the novel argues that in South Africa ethical representation can be successfully achieved through irony because the other can be addressed only indirectly. Disgrace therefore speaks with a forked tongue, a deliberate avoidance of the priorities of literary realism by which Coetzee suggests that reticence about the other—and acknowledgement of the failure to capture the other as a complex being in time and space—is more ethical than realistic portrayal.... | View Full Abstract

         Toni Morrison’s A Mercy and the Counterwriting of Negative Communities: A Postnational Novel  
 
Author   Karavanta,Mina (Author)
Journal Title   Modern Fiction Studies
Volume/ Issue   2012/WINTER V.58 N.4
Physical Description   p 723-746
Subject Area   Literature & rhetorice
Abstract   Toni Morrison’s A Mercy is the counterwriting of a negative community, forged on affiliations and affects, as much as conflict and inequalities, which define the early beginnings of modernity in America; this community remains on the edges of the national imaginary and betrays another history of community in modernity, not yet bound or enchanted by the myth of the national community.... | View Full Abstract

         Mutating Toward the Future: The Convergence of Utopianism, Postcolonial SF, and the Postcontemporary Longing for Form in Amitav Ghosh’s the Calcutta Chromosome  
 
Author   O’Connell,Hugh Charles (Author)
Journal Title   Modern Fiction Studies
Volume/ Issue   2012/WINTER V.58 N.4
Physical Description   p 773-795
Subject Area   Literature & rhetorice
Abstract   This article examines the way that secrecy and silence are raised from the level of colonial imposition to postcolonial methodology in Amitav Ghosh’s The Calcutta Chromosome. Drawing on Ghosh’s claim that any attempt at forming a counter-modernity to the experience of imperial modernization would necessarily have had to operate without record, it argues that silence and secrecy form a counter-hegemonic practice to the instrumentalizing form of Western rationality. As such, the novel performs a postcolonial decentering of futuricity from Western capitalist epistemology, eschewing a mastery of the past to reopen the possibility of a future beyond imperial logic.... | View Full Abstract

         A New Biological Citizenship: Posthumanism in Octavia Butler’s Fledgling  
 
Author   Nayar,Pramod K. (Author)
Journal Title   Modern Fiction Studies
Volume/ Issue   2012/WINTER V.58 N.4
Physical Description   p 796-817
Subject Area   Literature & rhetorice
Abstract   This essay argues that Octavia Butler’s Fledgling traces, in the transformation of the protagonist Shori from mere zo? into b?os, the evolution of a posthumanist condition where vampires coevolve with humans. This occurs in three stages before climaxing in a posthumanist corporeality that involves a multispecies biological citizenship. Shori’s biovalue and biological citizenship is at once corporeal and moral. Biovalue in Butler’s posthumanist vision, I conclude, inheres in the moral enhancement of Shori and is the result of her multispecies citizenship.... | View Full Abstract
