الوصف: Travelling on foot still constitutes, in the midst of the twenty-first century, a fundamental moment in a great number of current migrants’ journeys, both across Africa and Central America, fleeing from miserable living conditions and violence. This article compares an in-depth narrative approach to the issue with the mainstream coverage of the Central American caravan by the end of 2018, in order to reflect on the invisibility and vulnerability of walking migrants. While the caravan empowered and brought migrants the opportunity to struggle for a safe journey, this hypervisibility has not been translated into a better-contextualised account in mainstream media. In contrast, the non-fiction books and series of reportages published by Óscar Martínez, and by Xavier Aldekoa with co-author Ruido Photo, focus on the effects of the European Union’s and the United States’ externalisation of borders and securitisation policies, which force migrants to walk in order to avoid border surveillance and criminal organizations’ attacks, and, in the open desert, to face deportation.

الوصف: After 13 years of selecting situations, the International Criminal Court (ICC) has thus far only investigated conflicts in Africa. This has led to accusations of the Court having an African bias when selecting which conflicts to prosecute. Some African leaders have even accused the court of simply being a tool of western imperialism. This article attempts to determine the veracity of the Africa-bias allegations by examining the ICC’s current practice of selecting situations, as well as by placing the debate within the broader context of international criminal tribunals and conflict selectivity.

الوصف: Denne artikkelen analyserer Erlend Loe og Alice Bjerknes Lima de Farias bildebok Rumpemelk fra Afrika (2012). Her foretar vi en tematisk analyse av det imaginære Afrika som presenteres gjennom hovedpersonens Afrika-reise. Reisen er en jakt etter det som blir betegnet som «rumpemelk». Bildeboka er postmoderne og plasserer seg i en tradisjon etter fabelen, der fantasi, lek og besjelte dyr er sentrale element, men parodi og intertekstualitet spiller også en sentral rolle i hvordan det imaginære Afrika gestaltes. Målet med artikkelen er å foreta en tematisk lesning som undersøker hvordan bildebokas intertekstuelle og parodiske dialog med tidligere Afrika-forestillinger i barnelitteraturen danner grunnlaget for det imaginære Afrika som presenteres i denne spesifikke boka. This article on Erlend Loe og Alice Bjerknes Lima de Faria’s picture book Rumpemelk fra Afrika (2012) is a thematic analysis of the imaginary Africa which is portrayed through the protagonist’s journey to Africa in search of what is termed “milk from the bum.” The picture book is a postmodern picture book, and can be placed in the tradition of the fable, where play and fantasy and animated animals are central ingredients, but parody and intertextuality also play a central role in how the imaginary Africa is rendered. This article’s intention is to analyse the way in which this picture book forms an intertextual and parodic dialogue with previous myths and pretexts of the tales of Africa in children’s literature in the creation of the specific imaginary Africa of this book.

مصطلحات موضوعية: anti-slavery, colonisation, Africa, political economy, eighteenth-century, Modern history, 1453-, D204-475
الوصف: This article is an analysis of the Swedish abolitionist and Swedenborgian Carl Bernhard Wadström’s (1746–1799) writings in the British anti-slavery debate in the years between 1788 and 1795. Previous historical scholarship has seen Wadström primarily as a Swedenborgian visionary on a quest for religious fulfilment in Africa. An alternative perspective on Wadström’s writings is offered in this article by highlighting his comparatively overlooked polemical publications and Parliamentary testimonies in the British anti-slavery debate. Instead of treating Wadström’s writings and colonial plans as manifestations of his Swedenborgian dreams, they are reassessed as contributions to the contemporary anti-slavery debate. The focus is on how Wadström participated and argued in this debate in order to show the ideological tenets underlying his views. Wadström is linked to the Scottish Enlightenment discourse by showing how he uses the concepts of classical political economy in his argumentation for the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade. Through this alternative reading of Wadström’s writings, it is possible to gain another entry point into the complex and motley character of late eighteenth-century political thought in Northern Europe.

الوصف: Selim och Kalulu: Africa as Imaginary Place and Object of Knowledge in the Swedish Translation of Henry Stanley’s Children’s Book My Kalulu. This article focuses on the dual status of Africa in a Swedish translation of British-American explorer Henry M. Stanley’s children’s book My Kalulu (1973). In Stanley’s original as well as in Henrik Wranér’s translation, Selim och Kalulu (1907), Africa and Africans are coded as objects of knowledge – a place and people that the reader gets to learn about. At the same time, Africa is given the status of a setting for children’s stories – a place that is opened up for the reader’s imagination. The African, likewise, is presented to the reading child as a literary character that is radically other. This dual status allows for an analogical reading of the text: The »ascent« of one of the two main characters, an African youth called Kalulu, from savagery towards civilization is possible to read, via his dual status, as an analogy for the Swedish child’s passage from childhood to adulthood. This article discusses certain pedagogical debates about children’s literature that took place in the context in which Selim och Kalulu was published. In order to demonstrate the dual status that the African is endowed with already in the original text, it also traces the story about Kalulu in the preface to My Kalulu and Stanley’s travel writing. The character Kalulu was partly modelled on a child that Stanley employed as a carrier on one of his expeditions and brought to Europe and who eventually died when Stanley attempted to sail down the Congo River on a subsequent expedition. By means of these readings, the author of this article attempts to place the text into a tradition of Swedish and European children’s literature about Africa and show on some of the ideological and pedagogical functions of this literature.
