Subject: Authorship and Print Sociability in African and African-American Newspapers

Dear Wits and Michigan colleagues:

I am happy to say that the latest publication arising out of our ongoing Mellon-funded collaboration has just appeared in _Social Dynamics_, volume 45, no. 1.

https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/rsdy20/45/1

This special issue-which we have entitled 'Authorship and Print Sociability in African and African-American Newspapers'-arises out of a June 2016 workshop held in the Maropeng Hotel in Sterkfontein. It draws together scholars of African-American and African print cultures, exploring how the practice of reprinting, plagiarism, and archiving helped to constitute novel forms of sociality.

The essays are as follows:

Isabel Hofmeyr and Derek Peterson, 'The Politics of the Page: Cutting and Pasting in South African and African-American Newspapers'

Judith Irvine, 'Minerva's Orthography: Early Colonial Projects for Print Literacy in African Languages'

Madhumita Lahiri, 'The Pose of the Author: Colonial Africa and the Operations of Genre'

Natasha Erlank, 'Umteteli wa Bantu and the Constitution of Social Publics in the 1920s and 30s'

Corinne Sandwith, 'Well-seasoned Talks: The Newspaper Column and the Satirical Mode in South African Letters'

Bhekizizwe Peterson, 'Imagining and Appreciating the Long Eye of History: Race, Form, and Representation in Drum Magazine's Serialisation of Wild Conquest'

Aston Gonzalez, 'William Dorsey and the Construction of an African American History Archive'

Marry Kelley, 'The Difference of Colour: Reading and Writing Abolitionism'


The introductory essay by Isabel and myself can be downloaded here:

Delighted to have this in print!

With good wishes,

Derek
