Back to the roots? Forming New Concepts of Women's Identity in Contemporary Postcolonial Literature Written by Women in Dutch and Afrikaans.

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The main of the book is to find possible answers to the dilemma of Westerm society how to state one's socio-cultural identity in an other way than based on the hierarchical opposition self - the other. furthermore the books attempt to explore how literary characters in contemporary postcolonial works deal with the altered binary system and what solutions do they offer to us, the readers. Based on a close-reading analysis of a research corpus of a number of contemporary postcolonial works by female authors from the Netherlands and Southa Africa, the analysis concentrates on the ways how their literary female characters search, resp. find their identity in the postcolonial situation. teh emphasis lies on the changing concept of 'women' and 'femininity' connected with th female body and motherhood, i.e. those aspects of the 'female experience' that have been silenced and/or backgrounded in the majority colonial (patriarchal) discourse.
