SUMMARY:The Comparative Literature Luncheon Series: Rita Barnard
DESCRIPTION:\nThis essay-in-progress has two distinct sections\, which I
try to bring together in the conclusion with a discussion of betrayal a
nd narrative form. The first section is about the history and meaning of
the word “revolution” in South Africa\; the second is about a film that
bears the marketing tagline: “FREEDOM IS A REVOLUTION”: Otelo Burning\,
directed by Sara Blecher.\n\nIt is available for viewing on Amazon Prim
e and is quite gripping—beautifully filmed and acted. If you can watch i
t\, great\; if that is asking too much\, take a look at the superb trail
er: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gek4b3x0TTQ).\n\nThe film\, which c
ame out in 2011\, is about young black surfers during the last turbulent
years of apartheid\, just before Mandela’s release from prison in 1990
and explores various ideas of freedom and its co-optation.\n\nFor more d
