Dear Gustav and Thandi,
Thanks for posting your proposals. Please go to your original texts to view my comments.
In general, it is time to start refining your research into the "discourses" you are analysing. For Dusklands, these have to do with imperial and colonial language; for Black Hamlet, gaining a detailed knowledge of the early language of psychoanalysis, and its deployment in the service of (or against) racial science will be key.
We all need to have read Black Hamlet for our meeting next Monday. There is an article by Adam Sitze on Google drive which explores the question of scapegoating in careful detail. It is a very sophisticated philosophical set of reflections. If you are interested in the links between Black Hamlet and the Rex v Mbombela court case, Sitze offers the details of the story in a section of his article. You may wish to follow up this element of his discussion.
I look forward to Thandi's presentation on Black Hamlet on Monday.
Have a great week.
Lannie
