The volume includes contributions focusing on literature, theatre and film, all of which examine the relationship between the fictional and the political. Among the questions the contributors ask: what are the implications of reading a novel for its historical content or accuracy? How does the dictator novel interrogate ideas of veracity? How is power performed and ridiculed? How do different writers reflect on questions of authority in the postcolony, and what are the effects on their stories and modes of narration? This volume untangles some of the intricate workings of dictatorial power in the postcolony, through twelve close readings of works of fiction. 2018-10-01 23:55:55 2020-03-22 03:00:31 2020-04-01T11:59:54Z 2020-04-01T11:59:54Z 2017-04-30 book 1002321 OCN: 1082959126 9781787076822;9781787076839 http://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/27685 eng application/pdf n/a 1002321.pdf https://www.peterlang.com/view/title/61975 Peter Lang International Academic Publishers 10.3726/b11381 100664 10.3726/b11381 e927e604-2954-4bf6-826b-d5ecb47c6555 b818ba9d-2dd9-4fd7-a364-7f305aef7ee9 9781787076822;9781787076839 Knowledge Unlatched (KU) 100664 KU Select 2016 Front List Collection Knowledge Unlatched open access
