Abstract

This paper examines the persistence and transformation of the marriage plot from nineteenth-century realist fiction to twenty-first-century experimental literature. Drawing on Lauren Berlant’s concept of cruel optimism and theoretical frameworks from feminist, queer, and affect studies, the research employs a qualitative comparative method to analyze how marriage functions as both a narrative form and an emotional economy. Through close readings of George Eliot’s Middlemarch and Kate Chopin’s The Awakening alongside contemporary works such as Jenny Offill’s Dept. of Speculation, Sarah Manguso’s Liars, Sheila Heti’s Motherhood, and Miranda July’s All Fours, the study finds that contemporary “post-marriage” novels fragment and reconfigure the traditional plot to represent emotional labor, gendered fatigue, and the collapse of romantic closure. These texts inherit the structure of the classical marriage narrative only to dismantle it through recursive form and affective dissonance. The findings suggest that the marriage plot endures not because it resolves desire, but because it continues to express the contradictions of intimacy, care, and autonomy in modern life. By linking narrative structure to emotional economies, the paper contributes to ongoing debates on gendered labor and the affective afterlife of marriage in contemporary fiction.

Abstract

This study explores the continuities and discontinuities in post-apartheid parenting in South Africa, examining how colonial and apartheid legacies continue to shape family life while intersecting with contemporary social, economic, and cultural changes. Guided by postcolonial theory and a transformative paradigm, the research employed a qualitative case study design, engaging 30 participants, including young adults, parents, and professionals involved in child-rearing. Data were generated through focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews, then analysed thematically to identify enduring and emergent parenting practices. Findings reveal that traditional communal values, moral instruction, and relational care rooted in Ubuntu persist alongside evolving norms shaped by children’s rights legislation, urbanization, globalization, and digital media exposure. Disciplinary practices, gender roles, and parental authority reflect both intergenerational continuities and negotiated adaptations, with tensions arising between preserving cultural norms and embracing rights-based, democratic approaches. Participants highlighted hybrid parenting strategies that blend indigenous values with contemporary developmental frameworks and emphasized the importance of schools, religious institutions, and community structures in supporting child-rearing. The study underscores the need for a uniquely South African parenting model that harmonizes Ubuntu-based principles with modern notions of child autonomy, positive discipline, and social responsibility. By documenting how history, culture, and socio-political transformation intersect in parenting, this research provides insights for policymakers, educators, and practitioners seeking to strengthen culturally grounded and contextually responsive family practices in post-apartheid South Africa.
