SUMMARY:FAH-DENG Guest Lecture: 'Christopher Okigbo and the Legacies of Modernism in Post-Colonial Africa'
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: \nNigerian poet Christopher Okigbo\, known for his early attachment to aestheticism and modernist poetics and for his apparent late turn to more socially committed poetry\, occupies a unique place in the debates about aesthetics and politics in postcolonial Africa. Contrary to frequent attempts to portray Okigbo’s development in terms of conversion from an aesthete into a political poet\, I demonstrate that even at his most political Okigbo continued to rely on poetic techniques derived from T.S. Eliot and on the doctrine of aesthetic autonomy in order to safeguard his work from the encroachments of Afrocentrism and cultural nationalism. \n  \nBiography: \nAleksandar Stević is assistant professor of English at Lingnan University in Hong Kong. Primarily a historian and theorist of the novel\, he is the author of Falling Short: The Bildungsroman and the Crisis of Self-Fashioning (University of Virginia Press\, 2020) and the editor of several volumes\, including a forthcoming special issue of Genre on Aestheticism Now. His essays have appeared in such venues as New Literary History\, Victorian Literature and Culture\, Journal of Modern Literature\, Comparative Literature Studies\, and ELH. He is also the Serbian translator of Djuna Barnes’s Nightwood and has recently completed a book on the afterlives of aestheticism in twentieth-century literature.
