A Study of Coetzee's Postcolonial Creation from a Multi-dimensional Perspective
by Zhang Yong
About This Novel
J. M. Coetzee is a famous contemporary South African novelist and winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize for Literature. He is the second white South African writer to win this honor after Gordimer. As a deeply introspective white writer, discourse, gender, and body constitute the three basic dimensions of his postcolonial creation. Starting from these three dimensions, Coetzee constructed his own literary edifice, explored the discourse, gender, and body strategies of deconstructing colonialism, expressed the pursuit of intersubjectivity in the relationship between different genders, races, and cultures, and advocated the establishment of a new historical ethical norm of natural harmony and diverse coexistence. Focusing on the three dimensions of discourse, gender, and body, this book adopts a method that combines theoretical analysis and textual reading to explore Coetzee's postcolonial creation. It has a broad theoretical vision, delicate text analysis, and unique perspective interpretation, thereby constructing a literary research picture of Coetzee.
