Olivier Moreillon

• Research Associate, University of Johannesburg

I am an English teacher at a state grammar school in Switzerland and a research associate at the University of Johannesburg. I hold a PhD from the University of Basel (Switzerland) and am the author of two books: Reading the Post-Apartheid City: Durbanite and Capetonian Literary Topographies in Selected Texts beyond 2000 (Logos, 2019) and Tracing the (Post)Apartheid Novel beyond 2000: Interviews with Selected Contemporary South African Authors (together with Danyela Dimakatso Demir, UKZN Press, 2021). I am also the co-editor of Cities in Flux: Metropolitan Spaces in South African Literary and Visual Texts (LIT Verlag, 2017).

I have written articles on the works of K. Sello Duiker, Mariam Akabor, Charlie Human, and Lesego Rampolokeng. My fields of interest include post-apartheid literature, speculative fiction, (African) urban studies, world-literature, postcolonial and psychoanalytical theory, and intersectionality.
