Zoë Wicomb's Ghosts. Uncanny Translocations in David's Story and The One That Got Away

This essay analyses Zoë Wicomb's novel David's Story and her latest collection of short stories, The One That Got Away, through the lense of cosmopolitanism and Jacques Derrida's concept of ‘hauntology’. Wicomb is a cosmopolitan author in a very precise sense: an author who embeds locally specific stories in a complex intertextual, historical and transnational web of cross-references. As settings, characters and objects move between Scotland and South Africa, it appears that the histories of these countries are mutually haunted by each other. Uncanny encounters with the past, and with memorials and art objects that take on a spectral quality, evoke an increasing sense of disorientation on the part of protagonists and readers alike. Assumptions about place, history and identity are thus constantly undermined and reconfigured.

Melodrama and Narrative Fiction: Towards a Typology

Recent research on melodrama has stressed its versatility and ubiquity by approaching it as a mode of expression rather than a theatrical genre. A variety of contexts in which melodrama is at work have been explored, but only little scholarly attention has been paid to the relationship between melodrama and novels, short stories and novellas. This article proposes a typology of melodrama in narrative prose fiction, examining four different categories: Melodrama and Sentimentalism, Depiction of Melodramatic Performances in Narrative Prose Fiction, Theatrical Antics and Aesthetics in Narrative Prose Fiction and Meta-Melodrama. Its aim is to clarify the ways in which melodrama, ever since its early days on the stages of late eighteenth-century Europe, has interacted with fictional prose narratives, thereby shaping the literary imagination in the Anglophone world.

Antes que el guión. Sobre estrafalario/1 de Rafael Azcona

El presente artículo analiza el libro de relatos de Rafael Azcona anunciado en el titulo, con especial detenimiento en la utilización que el autor hace de procedimientos propios del grotesco. Asimismo propone una explicación de la ausencia del nombre de Azcona en las principales historias de literatura española a partir de dos ejes fundamentales: el desvío del canon narrativo hegemónico de posguerra y la divisoria existente entre el campo disciplinario del cine y el de la literatura.

Grand Theft Auto & Other Stories

Grand Theft Auto & Other Stories is a collection of six linked vignettes and four short stories. The overall theme of the work revolves around the concept of doubt as a destructive force, be it self-doubt or doubt toward others. This work is also about transformation that comes as a result of battling and overcoming doubt. This creative work is introduced by a reflective paper which highlights the writing process, discusses literary influences, and explores the idea of writing as a craft and an art. In its entirety, this project is the culmination of coursework for an advanced degree in liberal studies. This manuscript is a work in progress.
