Vilakazi's poetry in Zulu; on the Dhlomo-Vilakazi dispute, which concerned also the language of Bantu literature, see Attwell 2002. On Dhlomo and 'modernity' see Masilela's monograph, entirely dedicated to highlighting how the Zulu writer "actually constructed the theoretical edifice of South African modernity" (2007,5).…”

Well-seasoned talks: the newspaper column and the satirical mode in South African letters

In this article, I examine the popular satirical column "R. Roamer Esq." written by R.R.R. Dhlomo which appeared in The Bantu World newspaper. The study seeks to reassemble the archive of African intellectual and political life by foregrounding a hidden history of print culture practices and traditions. I assert the historical importance of the newspaper column and the satirical gesture in South African letters and emphasise the significance of the modes of humour and irony as forms of political resistance. In directing attention to the rhetorical and performative aspects of South Africa's protest history, the article expands on the political role of the African press in the aftermaths of colonialism in articulating new modes of agency, resistance and critique. In particular, Dhlomo's satirical column is approached as a space of literary expression in which opposition to various aspects of 1930s South African society is articulated in elusive, indirect and coded ways. As such, I advocate a reading of South African literary history that goes beyond the published literary text, one which can accommodate the idiosyncratic form of the newspaper column. In this sense, the newspaper itself is reimagined as an important site of linguistic and genre-based experimentation, invention and play.

The Quiet Editor: Ivan Vladislavić and South African cultural production

This article examines the literary and sociological significance of Ivan Vladislavić's "double life" as both editor and writer. With reference to a number of his editorial roles as well as the joint projects he has worked on with writers and visual artists, the article considers how Vladislavić's work with others spreads symbolic value. Described by one of his clients as the "quiet editor", Vladislavić can be read as a new kind of author; what he terms "creative editing" as a new kind of writing, through which more traditional models of authorship and literary production are thrown into question -less Bourdieu's "field of literary production" or Casanova's "world literary space", red in tooth and claw, and more Howard Becker's "art world": a convivial "network of cooperating people, all of whose work is essential to the final outcome".
