<title>Introduction. Decolonizing Academia through Feminism</title>

<publisher>:none</publisher>
<publicationYear>2024</publicationYear>
<descriptions>
<description descriptionType="Other">Decolonization as a process has long ceased to refer only to the ‘official’ withdrawal of European colonial powers from various parts of the world. Rather, the concept of decolonization has been increasingly used and reinterpreted to refer to the inequalities and power mechanisms that guide our world, to challenge them, and thus to open new debates. The concept of decolonization can be
stretched, formed, and used in new ways, as the Rhodes Must Fall movement in South Africa in 2015 and 2016, and the Decolonizing the Curriculum movement in UK since 2015 have indicated. Thus, in the fallist movements, #feesmust fall, and #rhodesmustfall at South African universities in 2015 and 2016, feminist, and queer activists stood up for thinking decolonization beyond race as a liberation from multiple and intersecting oppression based on gender, race, class, sexual identity, and other factors.</description>

<title>Towards a Decolonized and Transformed Academia and Community through Snail-sense Feminism, an Indigenous Model</title>
</titles>
<publisher>:none</publisher>
<publicationYear>2024</publicationYear>
<descriptions>
<description descriptionType="Other">One of the issues trending in scholarship today is “decolonization of knowledge”. How can knowledge be decolonized in tertiary institutions to make allowances for an integrative and inclusive future that makes for social justice? In the world: Whose knowledge counts and whose knowledge is being undervalued? In 2002, I became Head of the English Department at the University of Lagos, Nigeria, and it was my responsibility to manage the affairs of the Department, including ensuring the smooth delivery of lectures and the general welfare of students and staff. Out of twenty teaching staff, only three were females in a Department where most of the students were girls. One year in office, I ensured that three new qualified female lecturers were employed. The aim was to decolonize notions of gender, promote inclusion and increase women’s contribution to knowledge. The works of more female authors were included in the curriculum. Based on my sometimes painful experiences as a woman operating in a patriarchal society, I have devoted significant research effort to the lives of women of my community – past and present – in order to make their experiences known for the purpose of individual and societal re-orientation and re-education. In this paper, I intend to highlight my own home-grown feminist theory known as Snail-sense feminism which has been effective in dismantling gender hierarchies and transforming patriarchal attitudes in tertiary institutions and communities in my country – an indigenous model that allows the tenets of inclusion, equity, negotiation and dialogue to thrive in the academia and the society at large. I conclude by asserting that there is much modern society can learn from workable feminist concepts in order to create positive change in society.</description>

<title>Theorizing 'omumu' as an Indigenous African Concept of Power</title>
</titles>
<publisher>:none</publisher>
<publicationYear>2024</publicationYear>
<descriptions>
<description descriptionType="Other">This research presents 'omumu' as an Igbo concept of female power that connects mother, child (male, female, others), and the conceptual Earth Mother. This principle that propelled women to heights in pre-colonial times was grounded in the biologicality of a
female body that was not Othered or defective, but normative in Igbo communities that centered on Mother Earth culture. The 'omumu' principle empowered pre-colonial Igbo women to participate in arenas of public authority in religion, economy, and politics. Female power is often invoked today through women achievers, but the ideology that created and maintained such influence not only among women leaders, but also among ordinary women, needs to be studied in greater depth. Deconstructing the concept of 'omumu' as the basis of human power in pre-colonial Igbo society is important for decolonizing people’s minds, and it has the potential to dispatch its regenerative power for African peoples with similar cultural agency as the Igbo. What exactly is 'omumu'? Is it a relevant discursive constitution for liberating the African mind, opening new ways of thinking about the past, future, and gender inclusivity? This paper addresses these questions while clarifying the theory of 'omumu'.</description>

<title>Integrative Dynamics of Femalism in African Feminist Discourse</title>
</titles>
<publisher>:none</publisher>
<publicationYear>2024</publicationYear>
<descriptions>
<description descriptionType="Other">African feminism is as integrative as it is holistic and phenomenological. When the production of texts by anglophone female African writers commenced in the 1960s, critical works and theoretical formulations ensued. It became obvious that Western critics of African female texts did not fully appreciate the historical and socio-cultural environment that produced these works. Accordingly, African feminist theorists have made varied inputs in decentering and dismantling hegemonic Western postulations while accentuating the fabrics of African cosmology and world view. In this essay, the integrative dynamics of femalism, a hue of African feminist theory, will be explored in consonance with gynandrism. Tropes of female individuation such as the foot, womb, belly and breast will be underscored as transcendent body icons, denoting spirituality, vibrancy and nurturance. Spirituality will be deftly linked with Nudity in N/n principles which associate nakedness with social problems.</description>

<title>Black Women in the History of Philosophy – Methodological Considerations</title>
</titles>
<publisher>:none</publisher>
<publicationYear>2024</publicationYear>
<descriptions>
<description descriptionType="Other">Worldwide, pre-nineteenth-century philosophical works by women are almost entirely undocumented – particularly with respect to the African continent. However, this fact has so far caused little concern to the vast majority of authors. Due to a predominantly masculine perspective in the discipline, the exclusion of women from the canon of the history of philosophy continues to this day. This also applies to attempts to reconstruct the history of African philosophy. Reconstructing the lives and works of Black women philosophers in Africa and the African diaspora is particularly difficult because there are few surviving pre-nineteenth-century philosophical texts written by women. Furthermore, philosophy in oral traditions – and the role of women therein – raises difficult methodological questions. A contemporary revision of the canon of the history of philosophy, however, cannot take place solely from an intercultural or global perspective; it must also address and correct patriarchal structures of exclusion in all regions of the world. The paper discusses the specific challenges of reconstructing the history of Black women philosophers in oral as well as in written traditions, in the latter case, with the help of two examples: Walatta Petros and Phillis Wheatley.</description>

<title>What Is “She” Like? Reflections on Indigenous Experiences of Gender and Feminism in the Study of Literature in Kenya and Canada</title>

<description descriptionType="Other">Abstract
In universities around the world, an effort has been made to include works by female writers on the primary reading lists of literature units at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels. In this article, I will examine the primary reading lists of undergraduate and graduate literature units at Kenyatta University, Kenya, and Carleton University, Canada, eventually focussing on research articles that deal with creative work produced by female authors: Kenyan female authors and aboriginal Canadian female authors. It is effectively an examination of how research articles deal with the female characters in creative works such as Yvonne Owuor’s 'Dust'; Rebeka Njau’s 'The Scar'; Jeannette Armstrong’s 'Slash'; and Beatrice Culleton’s 'April Raintree'. This research on gender aspects of university literature curricula will be guided by the critical lens of intersectional feminism; and argues that in carrying out research on creative work by female writers, and focussing on the female characters in those works, critics contribute to intersectional feminism and push the feminist agenda forward; thereby encouraging female writers to keep writing and fostering a positive attitude towards the female gender: thus contributing to reversing discrimination and misogyny.</description>

<description descriptionType="Other">Transformative discourses in academia expose the increase in internal violence and aggression by men against women in African societies. The survival of African women and their children requires many strategies and there is always a limit to human patience, and endurance in the struggle for survival. Survival has been the driving force that compels African women to take drastic decisions to free themselves from violence and psychological trauma caused by colonialism in most parts of the African continent. Through African feminism, silence, and decolonial theories, this study explores African feminist writers’ conceptualization of modern women in their works and their weapons for social discourse on African women and opposing the patriarchal powers that have marginalized them. The knowledge and appreciation of Africans’ cultural heritage has provided African feminist writers with the tools to articulate Indigenous feminist theories. This article aims to show how African feminist writers reconstruct the image of women through the creation of radical female characters who speak out for women’s rights as well as those who are powerful in their silence to affirm that even those who are mute always speak. The article also highlights the significance of Indigenous African feminist theories in promoting innovative research and social transformation.</description>

<title>The Black Community and the Female Child in Toni Morrison's 'The Bluest Eye'</title>

<description descriptionType="Other">Black women writers have majorly articulated the denigrations, subjugation, and oppression that Black people, especially Black women, have had to contend with in their writings, which continues to impact their overall development as human beings. Toni Morrison’s novel, 'The Bluest Eye' brings to the fore the unfavourable conditions of Black people in Ohio of the early 1940s and the obliteration of a growing girl in a harsh racist environment. Morrison questions the attitude of the Black family and the Black community in protecting the female gender, particularly an innocent girl. This study interrogates the failure of the Black community in providing the much-needed survival strategy for the vulnerable Black girl, Pecola. The abdication of this responsibility opens the young girl to the vagaries of discrimination and the far-reaching consequences that negatively impact her persona. Using Black Feminist and psychoanalytic theory, this study reveals how the dysfunctional manifestation of the Black community hastens the
female child's descent to destruction. Through literary analysis, this study argues that the Black communities need to address the preconception – which is even held in Black homes – that Black is inferior and that only 'white' standards of beauty are the acceptable parameters for a viable existence.</description>

<description descriptionType="Other">Nenadović, Ana. 2023. Zwischen Schweigen und Sprechen. Sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Frauen in lateinamerikanischer und südafrikanischer Literatur. Bielefeld: transcript Verlag, 303 Seiten. ISBN: 978-3-8376-6739-4.
'Zwischen Schweigen und Sprechen' ist eine 2023 im transcript Verlag erschienene Monographie von Ana Nenadović, in der die Darstellungen sexualisierter Gewalt gegen Frauen in fünf Romanen aus Südamerika und Südafrika analysiert und in ihren literatur- und sozialwissenschaftlichen Kontext gesetzt werden. Die Dissertation kann sowohl als übergreifende Betrachtung des Konzepts 'Schweigen' in postkolonialer mexikanischer, brasilianischer und südafrikanischer Literatur allgemein als auch als komparatistische Analyse der einzelnen Werke gelesen werden. Konkret sind dies Roberto Bolaños '2666' (2004), Cristina Rivera Garzas 'Nadie me verá llorar' (1999, übers. 'No One Will See Me Cry' von Andrew Hurley, 2003) Zoe Wicombs 'David’s Story' (2000), Zakes Mdas 'The Madonna of Excelsior' (2002) sowie 'Sinfonia em branco' von Adriana Lisboa (2001, übers. 'Der Frühling der Schmetterlinge' von Enno Petermann, 2016), die durch die Lupen der feministischen Standpunkttheorie, postkolonialer (literarischer) Theorie und aktueller Forschung zu Trauma betrachtet werden. Nenadović schlägt für die Analyse das von ihr geschaffene Konzept der 'vergewaltigten Informantin' vor, das sie in Anlehnung an das Konzept der:s 'native informant' bei Gayatri C. Spivak definiert.</description>
