dc.description.abstractI shall be addressing the question of the constitutive importance of sexuality, and specifically of articulations and representations of homosexuality, in the self-defining national imagination of post-apartheid South Africa. I shall be concerned with ways of thinking the representation of marginalised sexualities, as well as of the significance of the paradoxical or oxymoronic centrality of those marginalities within the project of fabricating a national identity. To this end, I shall consider the specific field of cultural production that might most conveniently bear the name "South African gay writing in English." I will, perhaps presumptuously, engage with the problematic of what an appropriate or productive political aesthetics of "gay writing" might be within our particular historical moment.
