L’œuvre d’Ousmane Sembène est devenue un vecteur de lutte sociale dans l’Afrique postcoloniale suite à l’émergence de problèmes sociaux et politiques endémiques à la postcolonie. De ce chaos est également né Le dernier de l’Empire, un roman dans lequel Sembène explore l’utilisation de l’émeute dans les luttes de classe africaines. Cet article examine comment Sembène représente cette émeute dans le roman comme un outil efficace pour le prolétariat dans la lutte des classes au Sénégal, tout en la décrivant comme une conséquence délibérée de la répression violente orchestrée par la bourgeoisie contre la dissidence de la classe ouvrière. Sembène y parvient par le biais d’un récit fictif qui gagne notre reconnaissance en tant que préservation de la mémoire dans laquelle nous voyons le roman comme une représentation de la réalité. Nous voyons également comment le prolétariat, tout au long du roman, est opposé à la bourgeoisie, et comment l’émeute devient une solution ultime à la lutte des classes. Considérant que Le dernier de l’Empire se concentre sur la lutte des classes (après l’indépendance), l’article déploie une critique marxiste dans son analyse du roman. Ceci est pareillement conforme à notre propre compréhension de Sembène en tant qu’écrivain marxiste renommé. Cependant, l’article utilise également la désillusion postcoloniale dans son analyse puisque le roman traite des défis de l’État postcolonial africain. Ousmane Sembène’s work became a vector for social struggle in postcolonial Africa following the emergence of social and political problems endemic to the post-colony. Out of this chaos also emerged Le dernier de l’Empire, a novel in which Sembène explores the use of riot in African class struggles. This article is an examination of how Sembène represents this riot in the novel as an effective tool for the proletariat in the class struggle in Senegal while at the same time describing it as a deliberate consequence of violent repression orchestrated by the bourgeoisie against working-class dissent. Sembène achieves this through a fictional narrative that gains our recognition as a preservation of memory in which we see the novel as a representation of reality. We also see how the proletariat throughout the novel is pitted against the bourgeoisie, and how riot becomes an ultimate solution to the class struggle. Considering that Le dernier de l’Empire focuses on class struggle (after independence), the article deploys a Marxist critique in its analysis of the novel. This also aligns with our understanding of Sembène as a renowned Marxist writer. However, the article equally uses postcolonial disillusionment in its analysis since the novel deals with the challenges of the African postcolonial state.
随着后殖民时代特有的社会和政治问题的出现，奥斯曼-桑贝内的作品成为后殖民时代非洲社会斗争的载体。塞贝内在这部小说中探讨了暴乱在非洲阶级斗争中的应用。本文探讨了塞贝内如何在小说中将骚乱表现为塞内加尔无产阶级在阶级斗争中的有效工具，同时又将其描绘为资产阶级针对工人阶级异议精心策划的暴力镇压的蓄意后果。森贝内通过小说叙事实现了这一目的，小说作为记忆的保存获得了我们的认可，我们在小说中看到了现实的再现。我们还看到，在整部小说中，无产阶级如何与资产阶级对立，暴动如何成为阶级斗争的最终解决方案。考虑到《帝国最后的辉煌》聚焦于（独立后的）阶级斗争，文章在分析这部小说时运用了马克思主义的批判方法。这也符合我们对桑贝内作为著名马克思主义作家的理解。然而，由于小说涉及后殖民时期非洲国家所面临的挑战，文章在分析中也使用了后殖民幻灭论。 随着后殖民时代特有的社会和政治问题的出现，奥斯曼-桑贝内的作品成为后殖民时代非洲社会斗争的载体。塞贝内在小说《帝国的最后一天》（Le dernier de l'Empire）中探讨了在非洲阶级斗争中如何利用暴乱。本文将探讨胜贝内如何在小说中将暴乱表现为塞内加尔无产阶级在阶级斗争中的有效工具，同时又将其描述为资产阶级针对工人阶级的不同意见而精心策划的暴力镇压的蓄意后果。森贝内通过小说叙事实现了这一目的，小说作为记忆的保存获得了我们的认可，我们在小说中看到了现实的再现。我们还可以看到小说中无产阶级如何与资产阶级对立，暴动如何成为阶级斗争的最终解决方案。Le dernier de l'Empire》关注的是阶级斗争（独立后），因此文章在分析这部小说时采用了马克思主义的批判方法。这也符合我们对桑贝内作为著名马克思主义作家的理解。 然而，由于小说涉及非洲后殖民国家所面临的挑战，因此文章在分析中同样使用了后殖民幻灭论。

This editorial explores the value and viability of interdisciplinary approaches within African humanities scholarship. It argues that complex contemporary issues require perspectives spanning traditional disciplines. However, African humanities faculties remain largely siloed in colonial-legacy models limiting theoretical synergy. Pursuing meaningful interdisciplinarity has the potential to dismantle ideological constraints, better comprehend multidimensional African realities, restore epistemological cohesion severed through Western knowledge fracturing, and develop contextual, analytical tools. However, the paper cautions against superficial interdisciplinarity lacking methodological rigor or merely signalling trendiness. It stresses retaining a disciplinary base while leveraging scoping reviews to chart relevance for other fields in addressing complex questions. Harnessing interdisciplinarity’s potential requires institutional structures and incentives to facilitate humanities scholars to cross boundaries without abandoning specialisation. This editorial seeks to continue the debate on pursuing deliberate, purposedriven interconnection.

The paper discusses the noun prefixes ka- and na-, specifically those used to derive nouns that trigger the agreement marker traditionally associated with noun class 1 in Chichewa. The motivation for conducting this study comes from the current partial understanding of these prefixes in Chichewa and many other Bantu languages. In the existing analyses, the noun prefixes ka- and na- are taken either to be marginal or ceased to be noun prefixes in the synchronic grammars of some Bantu languages. In the present paper, I show that these two prefixes are productive in the synchronic grammar of Chichewa. I provide three types of evidence to support this view, namely (i) Chichewa neologisms, (ii) Chichewa names of places and persons, and (iii) nominal lexicon evidence from the Chichewa Monolingual Dictionary. I conclude that ka- and na- are not marginal prefixes in noun class 1 but productive prefixes of present-day Chichewa grammar.

Human trafficking has been investigated in different fields of scholarship, including psychology, sociology, history and economics. However, its depiction in twentyfirst-century Nigerian novels has not been given critical attention. Hence, this paper examines postcolonial indices fuelling the emergence and continuance of this challenge, as narrated in Tina Okpara’s My Life Has a Price and Ifeanyi Ajaegbo’s Sarah House, to investigate push-and-pull factors responsible for the growth of modern-day slavery. Deploying postcolonial theory, with emphasis on postcolonialist concepts like alterity, othering/ordering, unhomeliness, subalternisation and dislocation to examine power relations between human traffickers and trafficked victims in the selected narratives, it is revealed that the push-and-pull factors amplifying the proliferation of human trafficking in Okpara’s My Life has a Price and Ajaegbo’s Sarah House include poverty, connivance of security personnel with human traffickers, unemployment, family disintegration, leniency of the judiciary, death of the breadwinner, corruption and trafficked victims’ materialistic inclinations. In Sarah House and My Life Has a Price, the factors aid the dispossession, subalternisation, inbetweeness, othering/ ordering and ‘exotopy’ or ‘outsideness’ of victims. Among other narrative strategies, homodiegetic narrative focalisation and preponderant multiple settings are employed to foreground the objectivity of the narratives and the migritudinal temper and restless lifestyle of the victims.
心理学、社会学、历史学和经济学等不同学术领域都对人口贩运问题进行过研究。 然而，二十一世纪尼日利亚小说中对人口贩运的描写却未得到批判性关注。因此，本文研究了蒂娜-奥克帕拉（Tina Okpara）的《我的生命有价》（My Life Has a Price）和伊菲亚尼-阿贾格博（Ifeanyi Ajaegbo）的《萨拉之家》（Sarah House）中所叙述的助长这一挑战的出现和持续的后殖民指数，以调查造成现代奴隶制增长的推拉因素。运用后殖民主义理论，重点是后殖民主义概念，如改变性、他者化/排序、不归属感、次等化和错位，来审视所选叙事中人口贩运者和被贩运受害者之间的权力关系、在奥克帕拉的《我的生命有价》和阿贾格博的《莎拉之家》中，贫困、安全人员与人贩子的勾结、失业、家庭解体、司法机构的宽大处理、养家糊口者的死亡、腐败和被贩卖者的物质主义倾向等推拉因素加剧了人口贩卖的泛滥。在《莎拉之家》和《我的生命有价》中，这些因素助长了对受害者的剥夺、亚文化化、介于两者之间、他者化/秩序化以及 "外在性 "或 "局外性"。除其他叙事策略外，《萨拉-豪斯》还采用了同调叙事聚焦法和多重背景，以突出叙事的客观性以及受害者的移民气质和不安分的生活方式。

Critics of Wole Soyinka’s works have always identified the cultural impulses of his Yoruba origin in his dramaturgy. This engagement can be segmented into slants that seek a renaissance of his culture through his use of its tropes to intervene in the social malaises mirrored in his works and through a commitment that seeks the survival of his culture in the postcolonial milieus. This paper focuses on Soyinka’s engagement with the subject of cultural renaissance through a postcolonial reading of Childe Internationale and Alápatá Àpáta. While underscoring Soyinka’s commitment to the survival of his culture in the hybridised contexts presented in the plays, the paper points out that Soyinka’s dominant discussions on cultural renaissance have been primarily associated with his ‘Children plays’. The paper exhibits some of the critical aspects of culture that the playwright has isolated to validate his quest for a cultural renaissance. The paper’s conclusion gives accreditation to the playwright’s concerns about the dwindling fortunes of his Yoruba culture and language but doubts if there is any remedy in sight on account of some other overwhelming adverse social conditions in the plays.
