SUMMARY:Nancy Rose Hunt: Traces or Cases?
DESCRIPTION:What is the difference between traces or cases in historical wr
 iting? What is the value of each or of working with other such heuristic t
 erms (strands\, slices\, episodes\, the sutured)? How may each be used\, d
 eveloped\, or combined when writing about Africa? With a touch of a retros
 pective into my earlier work -- the reproductive\, the sadistic\, and the 
 acoustic -- I will share parts of a current attempt to investigate the psy
 chiatric and the turbulent in relation to Congolese colonial spaces and ab
 errant figures.\\r\\nNancy Rose Hunt is author of two prize-winning monog
 raphs\, A Colonial Lexicon (Duke 1999\; Herskovits) and A Nervous State (D
 uke 2016: Klein Prize)\, numerous essays and articles\, and the co-edited 
 Psychiatric Contours: New African Histories of Madness (Duke 2024). Suturi
 ng New Medical Histories of Africa (Lit Vertag 2013) began as her Carl Sch
 lettwein Lecture in Basel. A co-edited volume (with Pedro Monaville) devot
 ed to the Kinshasa-based comic artist\, Papa Mfumu’eto 1er\, will appear
  (Leuven) in 2025. After 19 years at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor
 )\, she moved to a professorship at the University of Florida. About the s
 ame time\, with Achille Mbembe\, she began Duke’s ongoing Theory in Form
 s book series.
