- W3126904634 abstract "This essay considers the relations between physical infrastructure and the politics of literary form in Fiston Mwanza Mujila's Tram 83 (2014). Although the novel initially seems to suggest that literature is irrelevant to the context of infrastructural dysfunction that it depicts, I argue that Tram 83 articulates a specific (yet highly circumscribed) role for the literary. In order to make this case, the novel’s improvisational form is read as an attempt to represent what the anthropologist Brian Larkin has called the “conceptually unruly” nature of infrastructure. This unruliness expresses itself in a lack of distinction between humans and infrastructure, which in turn causes a severe curtailment of certain kinds of political agency in the novel. Whereas traditional literary forms are shown by Mujila to be inadequate to representing and critiquing this particular infrastructural context, the novel retains a latent commitment to the power of the literary, one that eschews traditional ideas about form in favor of a more broadly construed and intermedial literary practice. This persistence of the literary, I conclude, raises important questions concerning the role of form in contemporary literary cultures." @default.
