- W2041442964 abstract "This article examines rumour as a type of urban text which interrogates the officially proclaimed rationality of the modern state. Drawing on reported rumours and allegations about the death of British tourist Julie Ward in Kenya in 1988, it reflects on rumour as a medium that contests the legitimacy of hegemonic “truths” produced through modern institutions in Africa. In their critique of the amenability of modern state institutions to manipulation, the rumours and allegations of the Julie Ward case deplore the failure of the Kenyan state to deliver the promised benefits of postcolonial modernity. At the same time, the rumours engage with certain aspects of this modernity, including modern science and the law, in ways that underscore the porosity of discursive boundaries between “modernity” and “tradition” and which signal the layered continuities between the two." @default.
