Fantastisk litteratur (også kalt undringslitteratur) fra Afrika har i mange tiår vevd sammen fortid og nåtid. Forfattere har kombinert afrikanske myter og legender med samfunnskritikk og reiser i verdensrommet, i en type fiksjon som utvider rammene for både fantastisk litteratur og litteratur fra det afrikanske kontinentet.I dette nyskrevne foredraget, bestilt av Litteraturhuset og fremført digitalt, presenterer den nigerianske forfatteren Wole Talabi en tidslinje for afrikansk fantastisk litteratur, fra spede begynnelser og frem til vår samtid.

Novellene hans har vært nominert til og vunnet en rekke priser, blant annet Sidewise-, Nommo- og Locus-prisen. Han har også mottatt Caine-prisen for afrikanske forfattere.Talabi har også satt sammen en database med utgitte verk innen afrikansk spekulativ fiksjon, som han var redaktør for fra 2015 til 2021.

Today I talked to Chikodili Emelumadu about Dazzling (Harry N. Abrams, 2023). Treasure and Ozoemena are young Nigerian girls forced to deal with spirits after losing their fathers. Treasure is forced to beg in the marketplace as her mother lies bedridden and depressed, and a wicked spirit finds her there and tries to make her his wife. He promises to bring her father back to life if she helps him by finding other girls for his friends. Ozoemena's father has disappeared, leaving the family with questions and responsibilities. She learns from her grandmother that she is descended from a wild, ancient beast, the Leopard from an Igbo legend, which gives her terrible dreams and sometimes takes over her body. Touching on Igbo mythology and African folklore, Emelumadu's dual-voiced stories focus on family, traditions, growing up, and the forces that conspire to prevent people from overcoming their grief. Chikodili Emelumadu was born in Worksop, Nottinghamshire and raised in Awka, Nigeria. Her work has been shortlisted for the Shirley Jackson Awards (2015), the Caine Prize for African Literature (2017 & 2020) and has won a Nommo award (2020 & 2024). In 2019, she emerged winner of the inaugural Curtis Brown First Novel prize for her debut novel, Dazzling. Her short fiction is available in many magazines and anthologies such as Isolation: The Horror Anthology (2022), Screams from the Dark (2022), Experimental Writing: A Writer's Guide and Anthology (2024) and as part of the Royal Literary Fund's Writer's Mosaic.

«For meg har science fiction som sjanger alltid vært koblet til kritikk av maktstrukturer,» har forfatter Masande Ntshanga uttalt. Som ung leste han mye science fiction, og hans seneste roman, Triangulum, henter flere elementer fra sci-fi-sjangeren.Science fiction, spekulativ fiksjon og afrofuturisme er litterære sjangre som er på frammarsj i mange land, inkludert her i Norge og i Ntshangas hjemland, Sør-Afrika.Hva er det som gjør science fiction til en foretrukket form for å utforske mulige framtidsscenarier eller plukke fra hverandre dagens maktstrukturer?I dette personlige foredraget vil Ntshanga snakke om hva science fiction-bøker har betydd for ham som leser og forfatter, og om sjangerens betydning for forfattere som vil forestille seg en annen verden.Masande Ntshanga er en sør-afrikansk forfatter, poet og redaktør for tidsskriftet New Contrast Magazine. For debutromanen The Reactive vant han debutprisen Betty Trask Award, mens andreboka Triangulum ble nominert til Nommo-prisen for beste spekulativ fiksjonsroman skrevet av en afrikaner. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Året er 2043, og en astronom ved det sør-afrikanske romsenteret får tilsendt en pakke full av dokumenter, med en advarsel om at verden vil gå under om ti år.Dokumentene er dagboksnotater og lydfiler som skildrer oppveksten til en jente, først på 1990-tallet, mens hun lever ut ungdomstiden, utforsker egen seksualitet og forsøker å spore opp moren, som forsvant sporløst da hun var liten, og deretter når jenta har blitt voksen.Gjennom jentas historie ser vi hvordan Sør-Afrikas mørke fortid er med på å forme nåtiden, og hvordan den speiles i en dyster framtid, der miljøproblemene florerer og fattigdomsproblemer skal løses med å etablere arbeidsleire omkring i landet.I romanen Triangulum fletter Masande Ntshanga sammen ulike sjangre i en fortelling som på overbevisende vis illustrerer at Sør-Afrikas dystopiske fortid ikke er et tilbakelagt kapittel.Ntshanga er forfatter av to romaner. For debuten The Reactive vant han debutprisen Betty Trask Award, mens Triangulum ble nominert til Nommo-prisen for beste spekulativ fiksjonsroman skrevet av en afrikaner.På Litteraturhuset møter Ntshanga forlegger og oversetter Julia Wiedlocha til en samtale om oppvekst og teknologi, framtidsdystopier og kolonialismens mørke skygge.Arrangementet er støttet av NORAD.

This week, we're reposting two awesome interviews with authors who were just nominated for the Hugo Award. Today's guest is Donald Oghenechovwe Ekpeki, a speculative fiction author from Nigeria, whose story 'O2 Arena' is nominated for both the Hugo and the Nebula. He has been awarded an honorable mention in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest, twice. His short story “The Witching Hour,” won the 2018 Nommo award for best short story by an African. He was longlisted for the 2019 Nommo award and the 2020 British Science Fiction Association award. He was also awarded the 2020 Horror Writers Association diversity grant and was nominated for best novella by the Nebula Awards. I usually don't give you a list of a guest's accomplishments, but in this case it is relevant. We've talked in this podcasts with guests about the way the American and British SF&F world keeps out authors from other countries, about how so much SF&F gets lost by never being noticed in the world, and I guess you know that there is a lot of inherent racism towards Africans. But whatever we know, whatever we assume, Donald shows us in this interview today many of the ways that African writers are cut off from the rest of the world, from self-publishing, from the big publishers, and more. You can find Donald on: Website: odekpeki.com/ Twitter: Twitter.com/@penprince_ Also check out the books he edited that we talked about: 'The Year's Best African Speculative Fiction (2021)' and 'Dominion'.

Amadou Hampâté Bâ, quoting his teacher Tierno Bokar, suggest that “writing is one thing and knowledge is another. Writing is the photograph of knowledge but is not knowledge itself” [A. Hampâté Bâ, The Living Tradition, General History of Africa Vol. 1: 166]. According to Hampâté Bâ, “the world's earliest archives or libraires were the brains of men [and I must add women] … The written word is not without thought. The written word without being refined through action and interaction which is articulated through nommo is without power. Without nommo – the African conceptualization of the energy within the spoken word, the power that carries an energy that produces all life and influences everything is the principle upon which the world of meaning is built – power is debased [Nommo, Encyclopedia of African Religion, 2009]. According to Hampâté Bâ, “In African traditions … the spoken word had, beyond its fundamental moral value, a sacred character associated with its divine origin ... an exceptional conductor of magic, grand vector of 'ethereal' forces, it was not to be treated lightly. Contrary to what some may think, African oral tradition is not limited to stories and legends or even to mythological and historical tales, and the ‘griot' – what Bâ calls a wandering minstrel/poet as conceptualized by the French – is far from being its one and only qualified guardian and transmitter. What does all of this point to … for what purpose … and to what ends does this introductory exploration provide our current engagement that you will hear next … how does it connect? The simplicity of the answer is found in understanding its complexity. The simple answer is that it provides a frame within which we can identify and extract the multiple points where spirit and Black resistance converge, whether it is evident as the spark of the Haitian Revolution or found interwoven in the vibrations of John Coltrane's Love Supreme … deeper levels of spirit and Black resistance all always converging. While the complexity is found in our willingness to map its evolution and stand in its genealogy as it is sparked across space and time, evolving itself as it propels African/a peoples to intrinsically seek liberation … It is this space in between space, it is of spirit and Black liberation … one of the many places we can explore and utilize this ancient the praxis of nommo. AWNP's Tasneem Siddiqui recently sat down with Youssef Carter to discuss the interconnectedness of West African Sufi Islam and Black resistance … the embodiment of ancient ways of being articulated in forms of knowledge that 1st make sense of the conditions within which African/a peoples find themselves; and 2nd to struggle against the those conditions when moved out of balance. Dr. Youssef Carter is an Assistant Professor and Kenan Rifai Fellow in Islamic Studies at University of North Carolina- Chapel Hill.

Today's guest is Donald Oghenechovwe Ekpeki, a speculative fiction author from Nigeria. He has been awarded an honorable mention in the L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Contest, twice. His short story “The Witching Hour,” won the 2018 Nommo award for best short story by an African. He was longlisted for the 2019 Nommo award and the 2020 British Science Fiction Association award. He was also awarded the 2020 Horror Writers Association diversity grant and was nominated for best novella by the Nebula Awards. I usually don't give you a list of a guest's accomplishments, but in this case it is relevant. We've talked in this podcasts with guests about the way the American and British SF&F world keeps out authors from other countries, about how so much SF&F gets lost by never being noticed in the world, and I guess you know that there is a lot of inherent racism towards Africans. But whatever we know, whatever we assume, Donald shows us in this interview today many of the ways that African writers are cut off from the rest of the world, from self-publishing, from the big publishers, and more. You can find Donald on: Website: https://odekpeki.com/ Twitter: Twitter.com/@penprince_ Also check out the books he edited that we talked about: 'The Year's Best African Speculative Fiction (2021)' and 'Dominion'.

People have been reporting inexplicable things flying in the sky for 100s of years. When did the U.S. government start to sit up and pay attention? In the 1940s and early 1950s, UFO investigators seemed genuinely interested in listening to witnesses and finding answers. Then there was a period of denial. The focus was no longer on finding the truth, or leaving cases “unidentified”, but on providing an answer to every sighting, no matter how absurd it sounded. So, where do things stand now? The U.S. government in 2021 finally admitted that it has credible witnesses and physical proof of UFOs or UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomenon) that are “unidentified”. Thanks for the 360 that brought us all the way back to 1947. Now let's take a look back at where it all started and where things changed. There were probably three critical moments that lead to the US government to focus on UFOs. 1. World War II ending and the start of the Cold War with the Soviet Union. 2. Kenneth Arnold's historic 1947 sighting of a UFO. 3. The Roswell incident the summer of 1947. The Fantastically Terrible Character or Creature are the Nommo, the ancestral spirits venerated by the Dogon people of Mali. According to French anthropologists Marcel Griaule and Germaine Dieterlen who consistently stayed with the Dogon in the 1920s and 1930s, the tribe was aware of the existence of Sirius B, which is where the Nommo game from....on spaceships. They knew every detail of the white dwarf near Sirius B. They knew the length of its orbit in years, the shape of its orbit and the fact that the white dwarf is quite dense.

This is a black arts and culture site. We will be exploring the African Diaspora via the writing, performance, both musical and theatrical (film and stage), as well as the visual arts of Africans in the Diaspora and those influenced by these aesthetic forms of expression. I am interested in the political and social ramifications of art on society, specifically movements supported by these artists and their forebearers. It is my claim that the artists are the true revolutionaries, their work honest and filled with raw unedited passion. They are our true heroes. Ashay! 1. Patricia Nunley, Ph.D.—ABPsi, joins us to talk about "the Political Climate and How it is Effecting Our World."

Did the Dogon people of Mali, in west Africa, preserve a tradition of contact with intelligent extraterrestrial beings from the Sirius star system?  Did these beings, who are known as The Nommo, teach the arts of civilization to humans, and are "they" the source of the systems of the Pharaohs of Egypt, the mythology of Greek civilization, and the Epic of Gilgamesh, and other anciant astronomical information?  Do these things pertain to Bible Prophecy?  These are the questions that MUST be asked, in a purely Biblical light. come and see...

Issue 22: This issue explores the immortal, Doctor Mist. CBN Season 2 | Issue 22 | Doctor Mist Over 11,000 years ago, Nommo, the wizard-king of the African nation Kor, stood in the rolling pillar of life which gave him incredible power and immortality. He would later take the name Dr. Mist. Before he founded his ancient African empire. Doctor Mist is an immortal due to the special rites he performed earlier on in his life. Doctor Mist can cast mystical spells, convincing illusions, and beguiling enchantment. However he does need preparation time for these spells and only has certain memorized at any given time. Doctor Mist can also absorb all forms of magic and use it as his own. ** Rhayne’s Guest Appearance on the Choppin It Up w/Q Podcast: [ Spreaker bit.ly/2qd2tIN ] *Choppin It Up w/Q: [ @_Q_the_Great ] Email: carefreeblacknerd@gmail.com Twitter: twitter.com/carefreeblerd + @rhaynecoleman Instagram: Instagram.com/carefreeblacknerd Tumblr: tumblr.com/carefreeblacknerd SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/carefreeblacknerd ITunes: https://itun.es/us/aXGRfb.c Live tweet this issue using the hashtag #CBNpod Subscribe, Rate and Review the show on iTunes and SoundCloud Download past Issue and subscribe to future issues of Carefree Black Nerd by visiting CarefreeBlackNerd.com

In this month's Africa: Stories in the 55, we take a look at the new Nommo Prize for African Speculative Fiction, which includes fantasy, sci-fi, the supernatural and even horror. We also talk to JJ Bola, whose debut novel, "No Place to Call Home" about a Democratic Republic of Congolese family living in London, shows how the main character Jean struggles to fit in at school and home. Young Congolese boy Jean is growing up in a cramped household in London full of TonTons (uncles), aunties, as well as his parents and smart yet snooty younger sister. "No Place to Call Home" looks at how Jean tries to manoeuver though school and family life while trying to belong. The Nommo African Speculative Fiction Awards cover an array of genres, from science fiction to fantasy to horror and the supernatural. The long and short lists have been released for 2017, and the prizes will be awarded in November 2017 at the Aké Festival in Nigeria. We spoke to Mame Bougoume Diene, a Nommo spokesperson, about why African speculative fiction is such a hot topic.

The ancient immortal African mystic Doctor Mist was introduced in a cameo on the last page of 1978's The Super Friends #12 before continuing into appearances in The Super Friends #13 & 45-46 before officially forming the Global Guardians in DC Comics Presents #46. We cover these comics to varying degrees, but our primary focus is the supposed true story of "Nommo," appended to tales starring Zatara and Zatanna. Is Dr. Mist one of the most powerful and important figures in the history of the DC Universe, or a sad and lonely fraud?

A mix for Not An Animal

According to the mythology of the Dogons, it is said the indigenous West African tribe of the remote village in Mali, received knowledge 5,200 years ago from the alien god Nommo and the Anunnaki (ancestral spirit deities). Ancient history dating back to 3,200 B.C. reveals the Dogons also had advanced astronomical secret knowledge of the Binary Star System known as Sirius A & Sirius B. Approximately 300,000 Dogon tribe members still occupy the region, south of the Sahara Desert in Africa. Sirius which we now call Sirius A - cannot be seen to the naked eye, was not seen through a telescope until 1862 and was not photographed until 1970. In Ancient Egypt, Sirius was based on their entire religious system; regarded as the most important star connected to spiritual deities. Tune in to hear authentic ceremony music of the Dogon, and the ancient wisdom connecting to Egyptian history, and the mystery of the Sirius Star System.
