"Afrindian" Writing and Indian Ocean Imaginaries

Many African nations have had to come to terms with a remarkable ethnic, linguistic and cultural diversity. The first part of this seminar (presented by Frank Schulze-Engler) will focus on the constitutive tension between diasporic consciousness and the struggle for citizenship in Indo-African writing from East and Southern Africa. The second part of the seminar (presented by Sissy Helff) will explore the writing of Farida Karodia, the grande dame of Indo-African literature who has always been interested in these conflicting dynamics.

Frank Schulze-Engler is Professor of New Anglophone Literatures and Cultures at the Institute of English and American Studies at Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt. Sissy Helff teaches English Studies at Goethe University and is the author of Unreliable Truths: Indian Homeworlds in Transcultural Women’s Literature (Rodopi).
