Over dit product
Product Information
Post-apartheid South Africa still struggles to overcome the past, not just because the material conditions of apartheid linger but because the intellectual conditions it created have not been thoroughly dismantled. The system of 'petty apartheid', which controlled the minutia of everyday life, became a means of dragooning human beings into adapting to increasingly mechanized forms of life that stifle desire and creative endeavour. As a result, apartheid is incessantly repeated in the struggle to move beyond it. In Undoing Apartheid , Premesh Lalu argues that only an aesthetic education can lead to a future beyond apartheid. To find ways to escape the vicious cycle, he traces the patterns created by three theatrical works by William Kentridge, Jane Taylor, and the Handspring Puppet Company - Faustus in Africa , Woyzeck on the Highveld , and Ubu and the Truth Commission - which coincided with the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of apartheid. Through the analysis of these works, Lalu uncovers the roots of modern thinking about race and affirms the need to revitalize a post-apartheid reconciliation endowed with truth - if only to keep alive the rhyme of hope and history.

Reviews
"In this stunningly original work of intellectual and aesthetic history, Premesh Lalu offers a powerful theory of petty apartheid as a process of deindividuation and objectification through the manipulation of the senses. By excavating the psychotechnics of a century-long biological racism and its revelation in contemporary object-theatre, Lalu's book illuminates a path towards an aesthetic education from which a post-apartheid world can emerge. An extraordinary achievement by South Africa's leading historian and humanist." Debjani Ganguly, University of Virginia "I read Undoing Apartheid over the weekend - what a fantastic discussion. I've been inspired by it - not only how it reads Seamus Heaney's The Cure at Troy but the insights into so many other works (the Danby painting included). Building it around the trio of performances works brilliantly: I could understand not only the petty apartheid thesis but also the crucial segue of grand apartheid into techno-capitalism. And I am already borrowing from the discussion of slapstick from the Ubu and the Truth Commission section. It reflects pertinently on the genres which have responded to the parallel situation in Northern Ireland. Abdullah Ibrahim too...superb." Professor Eve Patten, Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute , Trinity College, "In this stunningly original work of intellectual and aesthetic history, Premesh Lalu offers a powerful theory of petty apartheid as a process of deindividuation and objectification through the manipulation of the senses.

Professor Eve Patten, Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub Arts and Humanities Research Institute , Trinity College "[A]n important book, beautifully written, challenging and rewarding." John K. Noyes in Freund Humanus "Brilliant and necessary. In this luminous book, Premesh Lalu uncovers the brutal legacies of apartheid's assault on sensual and perceptual life. Only an aesthetic education, he argues, can open up the true hope of post-apartheid future. Written with astute theoretical attentiveness, and with poetry at its heart, Undoing Apartheid is an inspiring blueprint for the aesthetic education it urges. In an era when attacks on the arts and humanities across the world are blatant, Lalu suggests where criticism and creativity might begin again: in Athlone, Cape Town, and in all the other communities across the world where partition and violence have wreaked their worst." Lyndsey Stonebridge, author of Placeless People: Writing, Rights, and Refugees "a wonderfully provocative and fascinating read" Garth Stevens, Afrika focus "Occasionally, an intellectual product sees the light of day which forces the reader to rethink many of their cherished assumptions, thereby providing a new perspective on an old problem. Premesh Lalu's Undoing Apartheid is such a book."

As far as shipping and everything in the sellers end, everything was to be expected. The book itself is completely worthless. It’s a complete waste of money. It tells you what to do, but doesn’t explain how to do it. There’s no DIY projects. No explanation that is even remotely helpful. It says things like, collect water, get food, build a fire, you need shelter, but never tells you any helpful ways to do these things. Burning the book to stay warm is the only useful thing about the book.
