'Post-colonial Creativity: Language, Politics and Aesthetics', Special ISSUE,
Anglistica: An Interdisciplinary Journal, www.anglistica.unior.it, Ranking: A

Guest Editors: Bill Ashcroft (b.ashcroft at unsw.edu.au) and Katherine E.
Russo (kerusso at unior.it)

Description:

The aim of the issue is to explore creativity, as it opens the linguistic and
aesthetic space of post-colonial cultural production. If we accept the
definition that creativity is the result of the combination of previously
unrelated areas of knowledge" what Arthur Koestler calls 'bisociation,' then
conditions of conflict and disruption engendered by colonization have the
potential to enhance creative work. Creativity may be the constitutive process
of post-colonial language variation, for instance in the coining of novel
lexical items and the creativity inherent in word formation, or the phonetic
variation in creatively-coined words. On the other hand, post-colonial
aesthetics may be envisaged as a transcultural space of meaning. The issue
welcomes papers that bridge the divide between aesthetics and ideology in
postcolonial creative production. Although creative modes and media do not
have the power of policies, the issue hopes to demonstrate that they have
contributed to the recording, spreading, codification and stabilization of
vernacular codes and aesthetics, since as Azade Seyhan notes creative arts "as
social documents resist the erasure of geographical, historical, and cultural
differences".
 
Specific topics may include, but are not limited to:
-Creativity vs systematisation, creativity vs canonization
-Politics of post-colonial standardisation, regularisation
-Creativity and lexicography etc.
-Post-colonial aesthetics
-Post-colonial texts and transcultural communication
-The contribution of creative arts to the creation of small and large language
corpora
-Post-colonial creativity in advertising, the daily press, electronic
communication, literature, spoken interaction, cartoons

Deadline for abstracts: 15 April 2013
Deadline for completed articles: 15 October 2013
