Fear, haunting, and the (un)making of borders in Eugène Marais’s “Die huis van die vier winde”
In this article, I bring “Die huis van die vier winde” (The house of the four winds), an uncanny Afrikaans short story written by Eugène Marais and published in 1927, into conversation with Gordonian hauntology and affect theory in order to examine whether, and in what ways, it gives notice of the…

Petrocapitalism, displacement, and (im)mobilities in Imbolo Mbue’s How Beautiful We Were
In this article, I analyse the movement of human and nonhuman bodies in Imbolo Mbue’s How Beautiful We Were (2021). I argue that the depiction of the environmental and social damage caused by oil extraction in the novel resists the dominant discourse of the Anthropocene by refusing to universalise…

Nous vivons à présent dans un monde marqué par une crise environnementale de plus en plus grave. Pendant que nous sommes tous touchés par le changement climatique progressant, son impact n’est pas distribué de manière égale. Les régions les plus vulnérables de la planète subissent déjà ce que les…

Toxic mobilities and the politics of unending in Henrietta Rose-Innes’s “Poison”
The few readings of Henrietta Rose-Innes’s short story “Poison” have so far focused on how it critiques the racial politics of eco-apocalypse and the ways narratives of the end are inflected by the privilege of whiteness. In this paper, I take a different approach, examining the eponymous poison…

Mens en klimaat soos uitgebeeld deur Katherine Graham en Abraham H. de Vries
