Reading affect in post-apartheid literatureSouth Africa's wounded feelings /[electronic resource] :by Mark Libin. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2020. - xii, 263 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Palgrave studies in affect theory and literary criticism,2634-6311. - Palgrave studies in affect theory and literary criticism..

Chapter One: Apartheid's Bitter Fruit -- Chapter Two: Domestic Bliss -- Chapter Three: "Revealing is Healing": Ubuntu, the TRC Hearings, and the Transmission of Affect -- Chapter Four: Seeing and Time: Durational Time in Ubu and the Truth Commission and Long Night's Journey into Day -- Chapter Five: Compassion Fatigue: White Empathy and White Guilt in Antjie Krog's Country of My Skull and J.M. Coetzee's Disgrace -- Chapter Six: Shame, Guilt, and Complicity in Mark Behr's The Smell of Apples and Sindiwe Magona's Mother to Mother -- Chapter Seven: Conclusion: How Close is Too Close? Anger, Reconciliation, and the "Born Free" Generation.

This book examines South Africa's post-apartheid culture through the lens of affect theory in order to argue that the socio-political project of the "new" South Africa, best exemplified in their Truth and Reconciliation Commission Hearings, was fundamentally an affective, emotional project. Through the TRC hearings, which publicly broadcast the testimonies of both victims and perpetrators of gross human rights violations, the African National Congress government of South Africa, represented by Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, endeavoured to generate powerful emotions of contrition and sympathy in order to build an empathetic bond between white and black citizens, a bond referred to frequently by Tutu in terms of the African philosophy of interconnection: ubuntu. This book explores the representations of affect, and the challenges of generating ubuntu, through close readings of a variety of cultural products: novels, poetry, memoir, drama, documentary film and audio anthology.
