15. Alpha Female?: Redefining Heroism and Environmental Sustainability in Jeta Amata's Black November.

Author

Olajide, Salawu

Subjects
*COURAGE, *SUSTAINABILITY, *SOCIOHISTORICAL analysis
Abstract

Using Jeta Amata's Black November, this paper argues that even when the environmental struggle of the region is more speculated and centred on male-ness, the selected film adequately deconstructs heroism and gender in the socio-historical history of the Niger/Delta environmental struggle. As a theoretical drive for this paper, auteur theory is adopted, and furthermore, the paper also uses Spivak's postcolonial postulation, Can the Subaltern Speak?, as a model of evaluation for the assumed gender silence, as a response to the issues of ecology in Nigeria.

Abstract

How do we contemplate solitude? With silence, hands cradling chin, eyes staring into space in an empty room without articles of interest, an atmosphere of quotidian existence of devotion to matters of the heart? The matters of the mind, perhaps, might be a more fitting description. The heart is often misconstrued as software; it is rather a fist-size muscle lodged in a rib-cage compelled to whip the body into inevitable exhaustion. The mind is the place of memories, the parlour of thoughts, the hacienda of imaginations, the bedroom of introspection, the bar room of puzzlement. The go-to place when confusion dares one’s sanity, when insecurities threaten, when decisions are to be made, when expositions are to be grieved. Here at Saraba, it might have sufficed to approach the “Solitude” issue as a blank document made available for download. We could have made our readers write their remarks on solitude. Self-help. Solitude is best experienced not read about—silence makes home in the crevices of the mind, not outside it. Find here a cache of short poems and short stories from promising writers from Africa, writing in Africa. Follow them as they grapple with different phases of solitude: from avulsion of romantic partners to a search for solitude that leads to a brief stint in a mental institution. And in your solitary experience, while you grasp at the realities of others, ask yourself what it means to be alone., https://www.librarystack.org/solitude/?ref=unknown
