The body and colonial representation in Coetzee’s novels
Olfa Belgacem’s study examines how J. M. Coetzee represents the body in his novels, focusing on dismemberment and its relation to colonial depictions of the other as exotic and erotic. It also considers the ambivalence in Coetzee’s representations and the risks involved in repeating such imagery contrapuntally. The book’s central concern is how literary representation can challenge inherited colonial ways of seeing while remaining entangled with them.
Based on publisher information and book metadata.
Asserting that Coetzee's representation of the body as subject to dismemberment counters the colonial representation of the other's body as exotic and erotic, this study inspects the ambivalence pertaining to his representation and reveals the risks that come with such contrapuntal reiteration.
