One of them, which this volume represents, explores what forms of knowledge might be constructed when creative writing encounters science.Working outwards from a theoretical framework that sees the sciences as discourses constructed by human endeavour through forms of language and practices of authority, this collection offers writing that emerged from a scientific encounter. It explores the relationship between creativity and scientific experiment, between the languages deployed by scientists in their experiments and analyses and the languages forged by creatives in their ongoing efforts to understand the human condition.FicSci 01 brought eleven creative writers together with a biomechanical engineer. The presented science invited creative enquiry into different aspects of flow, that physical property that is so central to research in fluid mechanics. This anthology collects the results of that encounter. 04 00 Acknowledgements 1 Notes from an Invited Scientist by Malebogo Ngoepe 2 Sizakele to the Blood Ocean by Busisiwe Mahlangu 3 Igazi Liyathetha by Vuyokazi Ngemntu 4 Abazindla: The Prologue by Fezeka Mkhabela 5 Umcimbi Wegazi by Luyolo Vukuza 6 The Form of the Fibre is Shaped by the Follicle by Jarred Thompson 7 Fix the Hair, Fix the Child by Sithembiso Khalishwayo 8 BLOOD/BRAIN/BARRIER: A Mindplay by Nicole Thackwray 9 Coagulation: A Tribute by Jarred Thompson 10 It Comes from Nowhere by Zanta Nkumane 11 Poems by Jerome Coetzee 12 Fractals by Wamuwi Mbao 13 Always in Motion by Alistair Mackay 14 Artefacts by Mika Conradie 15 Unrooted by Alistair Mackay 16 Notes on Boundary and Flow by Mehita Iqani 17 RatHeart-LoveSong by Nicole Thackwray 18 Lab rat by Jarred Thompson 19 An Interplay with Flow by Mehita Iqani and Wamuwi Mbao Biographies African Minds 01 African Minds 04 01 20230714 02 WORLD 06 15 9781928502739 06 15 9781928502746 06 15 9781928502753 WORLD 09 African Minds 20 01
