This article analyses the Slovak novel “René mládenca príhody a skúsenosti” (1783–1785) by Jozef Ignác Bajza as a frontier orientalist fantasy. Unlike in Western European orientalist texts, where images of alien Muslim cultures served as a justification for imperialism, here they are used to fashion a Slovak modernity, confirming the Slovak people’s Christian, European and Slavic identity at a time when it was politically just starting to come into being as a nation. It is further argued that the novel departs from the typical Western orientalist fantasy, figured as a heterosexual heroic romance, towards the narrative of homo-social nationalist self-fashioning.

The article analyses cultural prejudices faced by women writers in Uganda since their belated entry into Ugandan literature in the 1990s, facilitated by the non-governmental literary organization FEMRITE. The censorship discussed is not official or institutional, but is part of traditional cultural discourses about women. Drawing on Judith Butler’s (1998) theorization of implicit censorship present in the social regulation of discourse and her term foreclosure, the article analyses the ways in which this censorships works to create norms of constructing a social and political female subject. It is created, on the one hand, by an atmosphere of trivializing women’s experience (which simultaneously masks and normalizes patriarchal violence against women) and on the other by perceiving fiction as personal confession, i.e., overvaluing its meaning. The article shows that despite the explicit feminist orientation of FEMRITE publications, these texts often reveal the authors’ internalization of traditional patriarchal dis-courses.
