is thought as a diasporic practice.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Cultural Studies is, for this reason, conceived as a series of
dislocations, as events that need to be read “out of context”.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>In crafting this presentation through
the prism of the African diaspora, the intention here is to complicate how race
is understood in relation to Cultural Studies and, as importantly, to suggest
how by reading the diaspora Cultural Studies might produce a different
understanding of race.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>This
presentation culminates with a brief reading of (South) African author, now
resident in Australia, JM Coetzee's most recent novel, <I
style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal">Slow Man</I>, in which the very notion of
the (African) diaspora is complicated by race -- by the invocation of the Balkan
diaspora; by the residual presence of that Australian presence that "haunts"
Coetzee's work, Elizabeth Costello and her critique of the African diaspora;
and, by the ways in which “whiteness” can be said to dis- and rearticulate the
very nature of the African diaspora.<o:p></o:p></FONT></FONT></SPAN></P>
