Notations : From the cityscapes of Nairobi, Johannesburg, Luanda, Mogadishu, and Tangier, to the Indian Ocean, Mount Kilimanjaro and small coastal villages reminiscent of colonial rule passing through cafés, bars, Kasbahs, public squares, war ruins, and high-rise buildings, Africa – Space – Literature studies several „species of space“ to reveal their significance for the production and reception of literature.
The objective of this bilingual volume is twofold. First, it seeks to put African spaces in the center of literary research. Second, it aims to transcend disciplinary, geographical, and linguistic boundaries by bringing together different fields of research, methodologies, theories, and conceptual languages: those developed and proposed in Anglo-American spatiality studies, influenced as they are by postcolonial theory, and the matching sectors in German studies. |
