Abstract
This article discusses Sudan’s Lost Boys’ autobiographical film Runner as a diasporic commentary on South Sudan’s political and cultural nationalism. It argues that aesthetic deviancy, semantic continuity, and loss are semiotic categories syncing the past and the contemporary, and the national and the personal.
