Literary space/creative practice: Reading Ityala Lamawele in English today
- Abstract:
- The new English translation of SEK Mqhayi's Ityala Lamawele (1914), The Lawsuit of the Twins (2018), is a major cultural event. Seen against the background of Ityala Lamawele's long and complex history as a published work, however, the new translation raises several important questions for readers today. Above all, by bringing the tensions between the intermediaries who shape the space of the literary and the creative practice of writers sharply into focus, it obliges readers to ask who conceptualises the literary, by what means, and to what effect? The article concludes by considering how the new translation creates opportunities for rethinking Anglograph literary and African studies in productive ways.
