| dc.description.abstract | Speculative fiction, South Africa, entanglement, social commentary, post-Apartheid, folktales, tropes, Africanfuturism, Africanjujuism, Mohale Mashigo Abstract Globally, speculative fiction is a popular genre, but it has not gained much traction in the contemporary South African literary sphere. In this thesis, I argue that speculative fiction allows for the exploration of social configurations of South African society because of its speculative and experimental nature. I will do so through an analysis of Mohale Mashigo's collection of short stories, Intruders (2018), using Sarah Nuttall’s concept of entanglement as a rubric. | en_US |
