Abstract:
The Desire of Nowhere – Nadine Gordimer’s Burger’s Daughter in a Transcultural PerspectiveThe article marks an attempt to read the book Burger’s Daughter by Nadine Gordimer from the transcultural perspective. Gordimer is one of the most famous South African novelists and an active anti-apartheid activist, hence her novels already have a plethora of analysis. However, the use of transcultural perspective would introduce into the existing critical outlook the more general issue of the struggle for freedom from any cultural and societal ties imposed on the individual. Although the local political situation is an important background for Gordimer’s book, the article situates its key issue in a possibility of creating a space of individual freedom, i.e. space situated beyond the cultural and societal entanglements that seem to resemble the transcultural endeavor.Conceptualization and expression of a space of ultimate liberation is a difficult venture, as the main tool of a literary text – language – is culturally bounded. However, transcultural literature, phenomenon just entering into the sight of literary research, displays the creative strategies of undermining the language in literary creation, i.a. the pluralization of narrative voices, the introduction of the unreliable narrator, extensive use of irony, multinational settings of the storyline. This article is an attempt to detect some other literary strategies of creating space beyond words and beyond culture. The analysis underlines how the use of visual strategies help to decenter the narrative voice and to actuate the text into the transcultural movement. It also exposes the importance of first-person narration in the performative process of distancing to oneself – appearing to herself as “a place where things happen”. Finally, the article detects the crucial gestures – moments of increased tension, both visual and deeply personal, that lead beyond the text to the experiences of “life itself”, i.e. blood, agony, and death. Pragnienie nigdzie – Córka Burgera Nadine Gordimer w perspektywie transkulturowejArtykuł zestawia książkę Nadine Gordimer Córka Burgera z „pragnieniem nigdzie” („the desire of nowhere”), odczytanym przez autorkę w perspektywie transkulturowej. Gordimer to jedna z najbardziej rozpoznawanych południowoafrykańskich pisarek i aktywistek anty-apartheidu. Sytuacja polityczna Południowej Afryki jest tym samym ważnym tłem jej książek. Mimo to, kluczowym problemem twórczości autorki wydaje się być bardziej uniwersalne poszukiwanie przestrzeni indywidualnej wolności jednostki. Podjęta przez Gordimer refleksja nad „pragnieniem nigdzie” w swojej istocie przypomina transkulturowe poszukiwania przestrzeni znajdującej się poza kulturą, choć odmiennie rozkłada akcenty. Wyrażenie przestrzeni wolności od kultury w literaturze nie jest łatwe, jako że jej podstawowe narzędzie – język – jest mocno zapośredniczone kulturowo. Dlatego też, literatura transkulturowa posługuje się zestawem kreatywnych strategii podważania języka, e.g. poprzez pluralizację głosów, wprowadzenie narratora niewiarygodnego, intensywne użycie ironii lub międzynarodową lokalizację narracji. Artykuł jest próbą znalezienia innych metod wyrażenie tego, czego nie może oddać język. Prezentowana analiza powieści Gordimer skupia się na użyciu wizualnych strategii, które pomagają zdecentralizować narrację i nadać tekstowi transkulturową dynamikę. Refleksji poddany zostaje także performatywny proces dystansowania się narratora do własnego „ja” – pojawiania się sobie jako „miejsce, gdzie coś się dzieje”. W konsekwencji, artykuł dochodzi do analizy kluczowych „gestów” – momentów intensywnego napięcia narracyjnego, które poprzez wykorzystanie motywów krwi, agonii oraz śmierci, prowadzą czytelnika poza tekst, aż do doświadczenia „samego życia”.

Abstract:
The social reality of the merchant community of King’s Lynn played an integral role in the formation of Margery Kempe’s self-image throughout her life. In her young-formative years, Lynn’s merchant elite imparted personal, commercial, ethical, and religious values. As the daughter of John Brunham, one of the most influential members of Lynn’s elite, the merchant community also provided Margery with status, security, comfort, and self-worth. Even in her later years as Margery formulated her holy self-image as she questioned, and eventually rejected, the role imposed on her by Lynn’s merchant culture as the daughter of Brunham and wife of John Kempe, she continued to identify herself through that culture. When asked by the mayor of Leicester in 1416 or 1417 to identify herself, Margery confidently replied, “Sir, I am of Lynn of Norfolk, a good man’s daughter of the same Lynn, who had been mayor five time of that worshipful borough and alderman also many years, and I have a good man, also a burgess of the said town, Lynn, as my husband.”

Abstract:
In the early 1970s, the Black Consciousness movement called on black radicals to dissociate themselves from dissident white South Africans, who were accused of frustrating the anti-apartheid cause in order to safeguard their ill-gotten privileges. In turn, liberal whites condemned this separatism as a capitulation to apartheid’s vision of “separate development”, despite the movement’s avowed aspiration towards a nonracial South Africa. This article considers how black separatism affected Nadine Gordimer’s own perspective on the prospect of achieving this aspiration. For Gordimer, Black Consciousness was necessary for black liberation, and she sought ways of reconciling white dissidents with black separatism. Still, these efforts didn’t always sit well together with her continuing belief that if there were to be a place for whites in a majority-ruled South Africa, then they needed to join blacks in a “common culture”. I consider how this tension marks Gordimer’s portraits of whites responding to being rejected by blacks in Burger’s Daughter and July’s People. In both novels, white efforts to resist apartheid’s racial segregations appear to be at odds with black self-liberation, with the effect that whites must find a way of doing without the as-yet deferred prospect of establishing a “common culture” in South Africa.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines Nadine Gordimer’s Burger’s Daughter, Rachel Zadok’s Gem Squash Tokoloshe, and Doris Lessing’s The Grass is Singing. It focuses on the development of each of the protagonists’ identities in three realms: the individual, the familial and the societal. Additionally, it is concerned with the specific socio-political contexts in which the novels are set. It employs psychoanalytic and historical materialist frameworks in order to engage with the disparate areas of identity with which it is concerned. The introduction establishes the analytical perspective of the dissertation and explores the network of theoretical frames on which the dissertation relies. Additionally, it contextualises each of the novels, within their historical contexts, as well as in relation to the theory. The first chapter examines Nadine Gordimer’s Burger’s Daughter. It focuses on the protagonist’s assertion of an identity independent of her father’s role as a political activist, and her eventual acceptance of the universal difficulty in negotiating a life which is both private and political. The second chapter, on Rachel Zadok’s Gem Squash Tokoloshe, examines the relationship between the protagonist’s traumatic experiences as a child and her inability to assert an identity as an adult. The similarities between the protagonist’s attempts to address her traumas and thereby create herself anew and South Africa’s employment of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission as a means to acknowledge and engage with its traumatic history is of import. The third chapter which deals with Doris Lessing’s The Grass is Singing traces the life of its protagonist, whose identifications remain childish as a result of having witnessed her parents’ difficult relationship. Her understanding of the world is informed by a rigid, binary understanding, which is ultimately disrupted by her relationship with a black employee. She is incapable of readjusting her frame of reference, however, and ultimately goes mad. I conclude that, while my focus has been on personal, familial and social identifications, the standard terms in which identity is examined, namely, race, class, and gender, are present in each of the three tiers of identity with which I have been concerned.

This study consists of three chapters of varying length dealing with the- problem of literary translation from contemporary South African English to modern Italian. Talcing as our model the recent Gordimer novel Burger's Daughter (Jonathan Cape Ltd.., London, 1979), we consider the various responsibilities of the literary translator, detaching his problems from those of the commercial version of a piece of prose, which require qualities of paraphrase, word to word correspondence and accuracy at expense of style. In our opening chapter we look at the extraordinary difference between the educated literary reader's expectation when handling a modern classic in the target language and this version's actual treatment of the original language. We taice Capriolo's La figlia fid Burger (Arnoldo Mondadori Editore S. p . A . , Milanoj 197S) as the model of an average* competent, professional exercise in South African/Italian translation and we note that most of our criteria are contravened or even ignored In chapter II our study turns to a detailed listing of omissions, adjustments, inaccuracies, misunderstandings, unresearched technical points and plain imperfections of style and manner. In most cases the study accounts for the imperfection or error and proceeds to suggest not only why it arose, but also how it could be rectified. Our criteria for improvement rest on categories of (a) stylistic compensation for individual features of the original, (b) homogeneous Hi manner and (political equivalences. In chapter III we offer a sample translation into Italian of four selected pages of the text (original, pp. 353-356) in our own hand, hoping thereby to establish tighter and more rigorous categories for the rendition of this exemplary modern South African

Abstract In Burger’s Daughter, Nadine Gordimer examines whites and blacks, the multiple voices from races and political parties and anti-apartheid groups, the political and the personal struggle for individual will, the symbolic and semiotic, and the relationship of self to conscience and social position under the apartheid system in South Africa through the heroine, Rosa Burger’s narrative in the novel. Gordimer presents the opposition between the personal and political self-realization through revolutionary commitments by Rosa’s struggle for individual will. This novel seems personal about rebellion against family as well as the government, and through Rosa Burger’s explorations of ways of living, it undertakes to bring together the truth of the body and the senses with the demands of the mind and moral consciousness about black movement in South Africa. In my thesis, I will first discuss the historical background of apartheid system in South Africa and present both the white racists’ and white liberals’ complicity of oppression on the blacks. Kristeva’s argument of “mobility of the semiotic” elaborates how Rosa Burger reconstructs her self-identity from the symbolic to the semiotic in her journey to Europe. Foucault’s concept of “heterotopias” justifies the black people’s place as the place of resistance in the revolution. As the novel’s epigraph “I am the place in which something occurred”─Rosa Burger is one such place: South Africa, as well as Gordimer’s text─are sites for/of political and personal, public and private that entail taking responsibility for the blacks’ suffering in the long run. By inscribing Rosa’s monologue about the values of herself as a white, Gordimer‘s Burger’s Daughter evokes a historical situation in which the personal cannot separate from such other realities like the black African struggle and suffering in the country.

Abstract:
This chapter examines Nadine Gordimer’s postcolonialism in relation to modernism, realism, and the writings of J. M. Coetzee. Especially significant in this context is the “unrepresentability” of the cultural Other, a figure exemplified by the mute and mutilated figure of Friday in Coetzee’s Foe (1986). Gordimer addresses this issue in scenes in Burger’s Daughter (1979) and July’s People (1981), in which black men speak their minds to white women. Unlike Coetzee, Gordimer underscores not the impossibility of communication or representation, but a shift in power relations that enables black speech. The chapter concludes by focusing on two works that inaugurated contrasting views of postcolonialism: Coetzee’s Dusklands (1974) and Gordimer’s The Black Interpreters (1973). The former treats history as an “ungraspable” series of abyssal texts, while the latter validates critical realism within the context of European Marxism. The chapter concludes by arguing that Gordimer represents a form of “modernist realism” or “realist modernism.”
