Produktinformationen zu „Literary Spaces in the Selected Works of J.M. Coetzee “
This book analyses strategies applied by J.M. Coetzee for the representation of South African spaces. Subversive treatment of literary spatial conventions (e.g. the pastoral mode) results in the creation of postmodern heterogenous, fluid and open spaces. Alternative topographies reverse the colonizing project and redefine relations with the other.
Klappentext zu „Literary Spaces in the Selected Works of J.M. Coetzee “
This book closely examines the processes governing the construction of literary spaces in the selected works of J.M. Coetzee, focusing in particular on the writer¿s subversive and destructive treatment of traditional modes of representation which participated in the imperial enterprise and served to overcome the ontological insecurity of colonisers. This strategy results in the formation of heterogenous, fluid and open locations which can be deciphered along the postmodern spatial theories of Foucault, Augé, Deleuze and Guattari. The transformation of topographies not only cleanses them of the conventional residue in preparation for alternative spatial rearrangements, but also initiates processes which reverse the colonising project by breaching the gap between the other and the self.
