The Pan-African Nation: Oil and the Spectacle of Culture in Nigeria

The Pan-African Nation: Oil and the Spectacle of Culture in Nigeria
When Nigeria hosted the Second World Black and African Festival of Arts and Culture (FESTAC) in 1977, it celebrated a global vision of black nationhood and citizenship animated by the exuberance of its recent oil boom. Andrew Apter’s The Pan-African Nation tells the full story of this cultural extravaganza, from Nigeria’s spectacular rebirth as a rapidly developing petro-state to its dramatic demise when the boom went bust. According to Apter, FESTAC expanded the horizons of blackness in Nigeria to mirror the global circuits of its economy. By showcasing masks, dances, images, and souvenirs from its many diverse ethnic groups, Nigeria forged a new national culture. In the grandeur of this oil-fed confidence, the nation subsumed all black and African cultures within its empire of cultural signs and erased its colonial legacies from collective memory. As the oil economy collapsed, however, cultural signs became unstable, contributing to rampant violence and dissimulation. The Pan-African Nation unpacks FESTAC as a historically situated mirror of production in Nigeria. More broadly, it points towards a critique of the political economy of the sign in postcolonial Africa.

Defoe Companion (Macmillan Literary Companions)

Tue, 04 Sep 2012 07:48:11 -0400

Defoe Companion (Macmillan Literary Companions)
Daniel Defoe occupies a central place in the history of English literature. As the author of “Robinson Crusoe” and “Moll Flanders” he can claim, with some justification, to be the creator of the first novels in English. He was one of the earliest practitioners of the “desert island” myth which has had such a seminal influence on the human imagination. In “A Journal of the Plague Year” and “A Tour Through the Whole Island of Great Britain” he forged a distinctive documentary style which deeply influenced later writers including Wells and Orwell. In summarizing Defoe’s life and achievements, this book offers a critical overview of his contribution to the development of the novel and re-establishes him as a central figure in the history of literature.

IDC’s Beyond the Box PC Survey Reveals Attitudes on the Consumer Printing Market Opportunity
This IDC study, based on IDC’s Beyond the Box PC Survey, explores the buying habits of U.S. consumers when they are purchasing accessories for their PC. The theory was that consumers’ PC purchases often present upsell opportunities for related accessory items. While the collection of products that could be sold with a PC is large, this analysis focuses on the relationship between PCs and printer/MFP devices. Specifically, the study examines:PC and printer/MFP bundlingWhen is the printer/MFP purchased — same time as the PC or some post–PC purchase periodPrice paid for the printer/MFPPresence of a home network and how the Internet is accessed”While consumers may not always purchase a printer or MFP with a new PC, our survey results reveal significant insight into the bundling practices, purchasing/pricing trends, and home networking penetration that shape the opportunity for consumer printing devices,” says Sahaja Sarathy, senior analyst for IDC’s Hardcopy Peripherals Group.
