| Shrnutí: | This paper will investigate the means by which these authors probe, notably through generic instability, the construction, internalisation and rejection of the nation (both that from which they have fled and that in which they seek solace) and its accompanying ideologies, along with the politics of truth-telling, on a personal and a public level. Relying on Jacques Rancière’s work on dissensus, I would like to show how both McLiam Wilson and Chikwava expose the interaction of politics, economics and otherness at both the centre of the Commonwealth (London) and its margins (Belfast and Harare). |
