Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2021Sara Paretsky
Detective fiction as trauma literature
by Cynthia Hamilton
Sara Paretsky is known for her influential V.I. Warshawski series, which transformed the masculine hard-boiled detective formula into a vehicle for feminist values. But Paretsky does more than this. Her novels also illustrate the extent to which detective fiction acts as a literature of trauma, allowing Paretsky to address the politics of agency in ways that go beyond the personal, for trauma always has a social and a political dimension. Paretsky's work also exploits the way detective fiction mirrors the writing of history. Here, Paretsky uses the form to expose the partiality of historical accounts - whether they be personal, institutional, or national - that authorise 'forgetting' of a particularly insidious kind. Significantly, all these issues are explored within the framework of the traditional hard-boiled detective novel. As a result, Paretsky's achievement forces us to acknowledge the deeply subversive potential of detective fiction.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Ordering Africa
Anthropology, European imperialism and the politics of knowledge
by Helen Tilley, Robert Gordon
African research played a major role in transforming the discipline of anthropology in the twentieth century. Ethnographic studies, in turn, had significant effects on the way imperial powers in Africa approached subject peoples. Ordering Africa provides the first comparative history of these processes. With essays exploring metropolitan research institutes, Africans as ethnographers, the transnational features of knowledge production, and the relationship between anthropology and colonial administration, this volume both consolidates and extends a range of new research questions focusing on the politics of imperial knowledge. Specific chapters examine French West Africa, the Belgian and French Congo, the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, Italian Northeast Africa, Kenya, and Equatorial Africa (Gabon) as well as developments in Britain, France, Germany, Italy, and Switzerland. A major collection of essays that will be welcomed by scholars interested in imperial history and the history of Africa.

May 2016La mujer de la guarda
by Sara Bertrand, Alejandra Algorta
Jacinta wants to know how her mother is able to breathe inside the coffin, but her aunts tell her it’s better if she concentrates in taking care of her brothers. Jacinta remembers some things about her mum, like the sound of the spoon in the cup when she stirred the milk until it was smooth. When her father arrives early, Jacinta and her brothers eat together and laugh at dessert time when he draws milk toffees and chewing gum from behind their ears. Jacinta is a weirdo in a world where other children have a mother. Jacinta has no guardian angel, but a woman traveling on a blue horse watches over her.

March 2010Die Wahrheit über die Zukunft
Erzählungen
by Samanta Schweblin, Angelica Ammar
Ein kurzer, spitzer Schrei, dann das Rauschen des Wasserhahns. Sosehr sich der Vater der jungen Sara auch bemüht wegzuhören, Saras grausiges Essensritual läßt sich nicht leugnen: Seine Tochter verspeist lebendige Vögel. Nur so, scheint es, bewahrt sie sich einen rosigen Teint und glänzende Augen. Wovor es sie noch bewahrt, kann man erst nach und nach erahnen. Verstörende Momente bilden den Kern von Samanta Schweblins zupackenden Erzählungen. Wo die Grenzen zwischen Realem und Phantastischem verschwinden, taucht der Leser ein in eine aberwitzige Welt, die traumartig überscharf die unsere spiegelt. Keine andere literarische Gattung ist in Argentinien so beliebt und hat eine so lange Tradition wie die der Erzählung. Samanta Schweblin, von der argentinischen Literaturkritik bereits als die beste Erzählerin ihrer Generation gefeiert und mit Cortázar und Bioy Casares verglichen, schafft mit starker Stimme und starken Bildern einen eigenen, wundersamen Erzählkosmos.
