PROTIAPARTHEIDOVSKI VIDIK V ROMANIH NADINE GORDIMER
No full textMy graduation thesis focuses on four novels: Burger`s Daughter, July`s People, The World of Strangers and The Late Bourgeois World, written by Nadine Gordimer. In her novels she used point of view to signal her opposition to apartheid.
Nadine Gordimer is a white author who lived in South Africa during the years when the policy of apartheid was very much alive. The novels were published between 1958 and1981. The time setting of all novels is during the apartheid, which plays a significant role in the lives and fates of the characters. These literary works present what it was like living under apartheid and the terrible consequences of it for black South Africans, but mostly for white people who wanted to make their contribution in the anti-apartheid struggle. Her anti-apartheid point of view is reflected through various themes.
The main characters in her novels are whites, male and female, who strongly disagree with the institution of apartheid and want to overthrow it, but at the same time she shows the sufferings of exploited black people. She mentions many historical events that took place in South Africa, but she focuses on the lives and emotions of the protagonists and the relationships between them, and she builds a work of literature over historical details. Her literary works provide a mirror through which the people of South Africa in the decades of apartheid could view themselves. Through her characters the whole historical process is crystallized.Pričujoče diplomsko delo je osredotočeno na štiri romane Nadine Gordimer, in sicer: Burger`s Daughter, July`s People, The World of Strangers in The Late Bourgeois World. V svojih romanih Nadine Gordimer zavzema stališče proti politiki apartheida.
Nadine Gordimer je belka, ki je živela v Južni Afriki v času, ko je bila politika apartheida najmočnejša. Omenjeni romani so bili izdani med leti 1958 in 1981, njihovo dogajanje pa sodi v čas apartheida, ki je igral pomembno vlogo v življenju in usodah njenih literarnih likov. V svojih delih prikazuje življenje v času apartheida ter njegove grozljive posledice za temnopolte Južnoafričane, predvsem pa za belce, ki so želeli sodelovati v boju zoper apartheid. Avtoričin protiapartheidovski vidik je opaziti v številnih temah, ki jih razvija v svojih romanih.
Glavne osebe v njenih romanih so belci, moški in ženske, ki so nazorno pokazali svoje nestrinjanje s političnim sistemom apartheida in ga želeli uničiti, istočasno pa prikazuje trpljenje izkoriščanih temnopoltih prebivalcev. Romani prikazujejo različne zgodovinske dogodke, ki so se zvrstili v Južni Afriki, ki ji služijo kot okvir, znotraj katerega se osredotoča zlasti na življenje in čustva glavnih junakov ter njihovih odnosov. Njena literarna dela služijo kot ogledalo, v katerem se zrcalijo prebivalci Južne Afrike v času apartheida in odsevajo celoten zgodovinski proces
Women Look into Love: Reimaginings of Heterosexual Love in Contemporary Women’s Fiction
No full textThis thesis explores how contemporary women writers write about heterosexual love, considering not only the ways it has been implicated in patriarchal models and traditional romance plots, but also its portrayal in light of developments in feminism and fiction in the 1990s and 2000s. The thesis examines Carol Shields’s The Republic of Love (1992), Toni Morrison’s Jazz (1992), Louise Erdrich’s Love Medicine (1993), Nadine Gordimer’s The Pickup (2001), Ann Patchett’s Bel Canto (2001), Margaret Atwood’s The Blind Assassin (2000) and Doris Lessing’s Love, Again (1995). In this study it emerges that as well as illustrating continuities, the scope of the treatment of love is opened up further in recent fiction as aspects like age or social, economic and historical factors are centralised and considered in interesting ways. The thesis also identifies some positive approaches to heterosexual love, as in, for example, the emphasis on men’s capacity for emotions. However, this is not always the case, as a writer like Lessing further develops a vision of love without providing an affirmative view. Thus, the contemporary women writers’ work can be said to contribute to understandings of heterosexual love on many different levels, even as feminist criticisms of repressive, patriarchal forms of romantic relationship continue to remain relevant
Theoretical and Textual Approaches to Contemporary Humanitarian Narrative: The Cases of Roberto Saviano’s Gomorra, Aung San Suu Kyi’s Letters from Burma, Jerry Piasecki’s Marie in the Shadow of the Lion and Nadine Gordimer’s The Ultimate Safari
No full textThe purpose of this thesis is to describe how some forms of fictional and non-fictional texts can be configured as and within the framework of humanitarian practices. In exploring the definitions and features of humanitarianism and humanitarian literature, the thesis attempts to answer the question of what purpose these texts try to serve. In examining the works Marie in the Shadow of the Lion (2000) by Jerry Piasecki, The Ultimate Safari (1989) by Nadine Gordimer, Gomorra (2006) by Roberto Saviano and Letters from Burma (1996) by Aung San Suu Kyi, we will argue that the scope of these books can be located by analogy to social and political humanitarian practices. Beyond their differences in genre, style and subject matter, these texts share a common feature: they are performative, namely they strive to do things with words. The humanitarian texts discussed in this thesis can be shown to act in the world in order to implement the values proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights

Digital Paratext. Editorialization and the very death of the author
No full textInternational audienceAs shown by different scholars, the idea of “author” is not absolute or necessary. On the contrary, it came to life as an answer to the very practical needs of an emerging print technology in search of an economic model of its own. In this context, and according to the criticism of the notion of “author” made during the 1960–70s (in particular by Barthes and Foucault), it would only be natural to consider the idea of the author being dead as a global claim accepted by all scholars. Yet this is not the case, because, as Rose suggests, the idea of “author” and the derived notion of copyright are still too important in our culture to be abandoned. But why such an attachment to the idea of “author”? The hypothesis on which this chapter is based is that the theory of the death of the author—developed in texts such as What is an Author? by Michel Foucault and The Death of the Author by Roland Barthes—did not provide the conditions for a shift towards a world without authors because of its inherent lack of concrete editorial practices different from the existing ones. In recent years, the birth and diffusion of the Web have allowed the concrete development of a different way of interpreting the authorial function, thanks to new editorial practices—which will be named “editorialization devices” in this chapter. Thus, what was inconceivable for Rose in 1993 is possible today because of the emergence of digital technology—and in particular, the Web
Nadine Magloire. Romancière séditieuse mal-aimée de la critique littéraire
No full textCet article analyse comment, avec Le sexe mythique (1975), Nadine Magloire aurait contrevenu aux conventions de la bienséance en abordant les sujets épineux de la sexualité et de l’érotisme. Au moyen d’une écriture séditieuse, d’une plume contestataire et d’un style percutant, l’auteure met en scène une héroïne célibataire qui entretient des relations sentimentales avec deux hommes différents et discute ouvertement de la « performance » de ses amants, ainsi que de leurs lacunes sexuelles. Si quelques critiques littéraires considèrent que ce roman illustre adéquatement la condition féminine en Haïti, d’autres, au contraire, estiment qu’il devrait plutôt être taxé de pamphlet inutile et provocateur. En allant résolument à l’encontre des commentaires de la critique, du public et de ses détracteurs, Nadine Magloire a-t-elle anéanti sa propre carrière littéraire ?This article analyzes how, with Le sexe mythique (1975), Nadine Magloire seems to have contravened the conventions of propriety by tackling the thorny subjects of sexuality and eroticism. Using seditious writing, a protesting pen and a hard-hitting style, the author portrays an unmarried heroine who has sentimental relationships with two different men, and openly discusses the “performance” of her lovers, as well as their sexual shortcomings. While some literary critics consider that this novel adequately illustrates the female condition in Haiti, others, on the contrary, feel that it should rather be labeled a useless and provocative pamphlet. By going resolutely against the comments of critics, the public and her detractors, has Nadine Magloire destroyed her own literary career
THE SELF VERSUS THE OTHER IN NADINE GORDIMERS NOVEL THE PICK UP: A CULTURAL APPROACH
No full textNadine Gordimer, the Nobel prize winning South African author, deals with the complexities of “the Other” in most of her novels. She has grown up in a post-colonial South Africa and lived through the various stages of its apartheid regime. One of her main concerns was to analyze the impact of this discriminating “the other” on people and their culture
Examining linkages among microfinance participation, domestic violence, and help-seeking social networks in Bangladesh: a mixed-methods study
No full textThis dissertation examines microfinance participation, domestic violence, and help-seeking networks among poor, ever-married women in Bangladesh. A mixed-methods approach is used; data from the nationally representative Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey 2007 with a sample of 10,996 women is juxtaposed with data from qualitative interviews with 30 women who access microfinance in Dhaka, Bangladesh. The primary research questions aim to examine the associations between microfinance participation, domestic violence, and help-seeking social networks of women who experience domestic violence. Secondarily, this dissertation aims to provide an understanding of the context in which microfinance participation may be associated with domestic violence and help-seeking social networks using qualitative methods. In this dissertation it is theorized that when a poor married woman in Bangladesh gains access to finance, there may be status inconsistency between her and her husband who compensates for that imbalance by exerting violence. At the same time, membership in microfinance institutions may increase her social networks, which in turn may provide her with a mechanism of help-seeking. This dissertation applies elements of status inconsistency theory to explore the role of microfinance participation in domestic violence among poor women in Bangladesh, and social network theory to understand the possible effects of increased social networks due to microfinance participation. The findings reveal an interaction effect between microfinance participation and wealth assets that is associated with domestic violence, and an association between employment and help-seeking social networks. The qualitative data suggests that status inconsistency may be higher between couples in which women report having higher wealth assets, which may then threaten the husband who uses violence to exert his status. In exploring the impact of an economic anti-poverty tool on a social-work problem using sociological lenses, this study adds to the knowledge base of the social sciences, further understanding of the interpersonal and social context of microfinance participation, and generates new hypotheses for future study.Ph.
