Nội dung

This article approaches Kgebetli Moele’s Untitled: A Novel (2013) as a distinctive instance of writing locality and feminine subjectivity through literary experimentation. Drawing together insights on world literature, globalization and locality, and experimental writing in South Africa, my reading of Untitled demonstrates how the subject position of the main character, like the novel itself, emerges at the crossroads of different forms as they circulate among multiple localities. Analyzing how the novel experiments with narrative, form, punctuation, and subject formation in relation to African literary imaginaries, I suggest that the poetics of Untitled inscribe a (black) feminine subject position against dominant narrative conventions of gendered violation and within the interstices of globality and locality.
