Jason Price argues that definitions of desire deployed by capitalist and colonial culture maintain social inequality by managing relations to ensure a steady flow of capital and pleasure for the dominant classes, whereas affective encounters with animals reveal the nonhuman nature of desire, a biopower that, in its unpredictability, can frustrate regimes of management and control. Price wonders how animals' different desires might enable new modes of thought to positively transform and resist the status quo. This book contends that South African literary works employ nonhuman desire and certain indigenous notions of desire to imagine a South Africa that can be markedly different from the past. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Animals and Literature,$x2634-6346 606 $aAfrican literature 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y21st century 606 $aLiterature 606 $aCritical theory 606 $aAfrican Literature 606 $aContemporary Literature 606 $aWorld Literature 606 $aCritical Theory 615 0$aAfrican literature. 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature, Modern 615 0$aLiterature. 615 0$aCritical theory. 615 14$aAfrican Literature. 615 24$aContemporary Literature. 615 24$aWorld Literature. 615 24$aCritical Theory. 676 $a809.6 700 $aPrice$b Jason D$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0871350 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910255061503321 996 $aAnimals and Desire in South African Fiction$91945279 997 $aUNINA
