Postcolonial Fictions Span Reading Room What'sNew ... CRCC SPAN Journal of the South Pacific Association for Commonwealth Literature and Language Studies Number 36 (1993) Postcolonial Fictions Edited by Michèle Drouart Spectral Tattoo: Reconstructive Fictions Aritha van Herk 1. Refusal Within what Diane Freedman calls the "wounding" (Freedman, 3) democracy of language, fiction must now - if it wishes to enjoy continuing affectivity - engage in an alterative struggle to evade both the powerful allurement of genred annointment (which has done much to institutionalize all literary forms), and to escape its gentling restraints. The difficulty for any fiction is to negotiate its own terminality, the material ideology which proposes that if an imagined world does not give a reader pleasure, it will at least offer an implied if not overt solution to the enterprise of meaning and its doubtful politics. The seductions of closure, even metafictional closure capable of swallowing itself in reverse, are posited by the narrative momentum. The girdle of chastity which has resisted picking its own lock is fiction's willingness to mollify and to tame, to collaborate in a fetish of commodification (Lentricchia, 325). 2. Aloof
