ABSTRACT

For South African author Mongane Wally Serote, art and activism can only operate in tandem. In the 1970s and 1980s, Serote took leadership roles in revolutionary and anti-apartheid organizations and movements, and in his writing and in these activist roles he mobilizes the one as a means to achieve the ends of the other. In his novel To Every Birth Its Blood, he uses narrative to experiment with chronology and perspective, and explore the physical spaces of township, exile, and state in ways that challenge the apartheid regime’s authority to regulate the lives of South Africans. Serote deploys the novel form against apartheid’s policies, social organization, and legacy. Through this work, he indicts the regime for human rights abuses, and imagines a new world order shaped by inclusive forms of community that carry forward the fight for equal rights.

文化与行动主义:Mongane Wally Serote的血统

摘要

对于南非作家Mongane Wally Serote而言,艺术和行动主义只能同时发挥作用。在1970年代和1980年代,塞罗特(Serote)在革命和反种族隔离组织和运动中担任领导职务,在他的著作和这些激进主义者的角色中,他动员了一个人来实现另一个目的。在他的小说《每一次生出它的鲜血》中,他使用叙述来对年代和角度进行实验,并以挑战种族隔离政权规范南非人生活的方式探索乡镇,流亡者和州的物质空间。塞罗特(Serote)将这种新颖的形式与种族隔离政策,社会组织和传统作对。通过这项工作,他对侵犯人权的制度提出了起诉,并设想了一个由包容性社区构成的新世界秩序,这些社区推动了争取平等权利的斗争。
