AFRO-ASIAN LITERATURE

The criticism of African literature awakened and grew by means of controversy during the 1970s and 1980s, with some of the critics taking the view that African literature can only competently be addressed by African critics, as if being an African provided one a special key to these literary artefacts. The prejudice in this is that what one studies is not literature, but Africanness, or what some call ‘the African experience’; and it has led to constructing instrument of analysis which are incapable of uncovering the literary qualities of the works. This has a negative effect on the literary tradition itself since it encourages the production of works displaying the features the critics have called African. This paper argues that the entire tradition – the literature, the criticism, and the literary theory – needs to connect to and stay engaged with other literary traditions of the world in dialogue, highlighting the fact that they are all things of the same kind.

Black poetry adheres to certain, identifiable values-political and aesthetic-that are open to adoption, enjoyment by anyone." (Jordan 50) "The gift of poetry […] is a sacred thing. It should never be misused. Only when the poet's heart is in what he says should he create poetry." (Woodruff 220

Reading is considered as one of the best raptures people get to experience in their lifetime. The art of reading is not only a task to be done during leisure. It is perceived almost as a necessity verisimilar to the process of breathing that is done in order to live. As readers, it is important not only to read the lines but also to read beyond it with slow deliberate carefulness. This is where the importance of analysis takes place. With this being said, this output focuses on the piece of literature, entitled Red Sorghum by Mo Yan as the subject of analysis. This includes the background of the novel, the author, summary, and relevance of the novel to modern times. Moreover, this analysis aims to probe, critique, and interpret the work using different approaches in literature such as Formalism, Marxism, and Feminism literary theory.

The present work includes the coupled electromagnetic/thermal analysis of a threephase system composed of three single-core cables in trefoil configuration. The cable system is analyzed in thermally stationary and non-stationary state, taking into account the non-linearity of heat conduction in the soil surrounding the cable. The complex model of heat transfer in soil, caused by soil drying in the cable’s surrounding, has been made by applying two zones of different heat conductions.

This article discusses the tension between social relationality and self-relationality central to Heidegger’s ontology of Dasein and the possible ways of reconciling this tension. Arguing that this is a tension between communicability and existential commitments, the article poses the question: How are existential commitments responsive to communication? After problematizing the quasi-Kantian and communitarian ways of settling the tension, the article uses Heidegger’s early reading of Aristotle to develop a third hermeneutic model of ethical relationality according to which existential commitments are shareable in communication, since ethos – the existential posture towards the good – arises out of pathos that exposes Dasein to coexistence. The account of ethical relationality found in Heidegger’s interpretation of Aristotle thus takes the world to be a shared and dynamic ontological condition and emphasize that the world constitutes selfhood in a way that is constantly at stake in ethical communication.

The book accompanies the solo exhibition at MUAC of Ursula Biemann's ecological video works between 2013 and 2023. Biemann's work proposes to rethink our relationship with nature and our position in cohabiting different contemporary ecologies and political landscapes. In her field research she explores the ecologies of forests and oil, as well as the consequences of extractivist projects on the global ecostyems and the climate. Engaging with the intelligence of nature, her work expands the limits of the epistemological and brings Western science and ancestral knowledge into a meaningful conversation. The exhibition Becoming Earth explores the possibilities of transformation through a poetics of images, sounds and words that heighten our awareness of the interconnections with the natural world and affirm the need to hold multispecies dialogues to enhance our role in maintaining healthy ecosystems. Probing the boundaries between ways of thinking, sensing and knowing, Biemann’s enveloping, sensitive and theoretical proposal immerses us in an experience in which images and testimonies powerfully interpellate the world we inhabit.
