Abstract:

The term “topography” describes a landscape’s structural elements and how they interact with the surrounding area. It focuses on the connections between the natural and constructed ecosystems and how human activities affect the environment. The history and ecological health of a region can be inferred from its topography. For instance, a location’s topography may reveal whether it has seen erosion, deforestation, or other types of ecological disturbance. Ecologists can better understand how environmental changes affect the landscape and its inhabitants by studying the topography of a certain location. John Maxwell Coetzee was a famous South African writer who tells us about these landscapes, climates, and other ecological aspects flawlessly in his novel Disgrace. John Maxwell Coetzee was popularly known by his initials, J.M. Coetzee. Coetzee was born on February 9, 1940, in Cape Town, South Africa. This paper studies the aspects of loco-description in J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace.

Abstract:

Abstract J. M. Coetzee’s The Master of Petersburg (1994) is a text about a father (Dostoevsky) mourning the death of his son. I am interested in the presence and meaning of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice in the novel, compared to the meaning of the myth in R. M. Rilke’s poem “Orpheus. Eurydice. Hermes.” (1904). I read the unaccomplished encounter between Orpheus and Eurydice as a story that portrays the failed intersubjectity plot of Coetzee’s novel(s). Following Blanchot’s reading of the myth, I examine the contrasting Orphean and Eurydicean conducts – Orpheus desiring but, at the same time, destroying the other and Eurydice declining the other’s approach. I argue that Orpheus’s and Eurydice’s contrasting behaviours can be looked at as manifestations of a failure of love, one for its violence, the other for its neglect, and thus the presence of the myth in The Master of Petersburg is meaningful in what it says about the theme of intersubjectivity in Coetzee’s oeuvre.

Abstract:

RESUMO: Com um estilo sóbrio e minimalista, a prosa literária de J. M. Coetzee é um espaço criativo onde diferentes identidades literárias são constantemente baralhadas e uma perigosa sobreposição de alter-egos é sistematicamente ensaiada. Pensando sobre todas essas nuances, filósofos contemporâneos a trabalhar sobre a obra do escritor sul-africano têm descrito o seu trabalho como "realista-modernista'. Neste artigo, discuto uma obra específica de Coetzee (Diário de um Mau Ano) - focando sobretudo a estranha técnica gráfica da tripartição da página em três vozes literárias e a respectiva relação com a ideia de "pensamento ético de substituição" -, confrontando-a com a sua obra como um todo. Num segundo momento, apresento um modelo filosófico para explicar o seu "realismo modernista" e termino traçando o impacto desse modelo filosófico sobre a própria filosofia que o apresenta.

Abstract:

*O estupro na ficção de J. M. Coetzee: Desonra, Diário de um ano ruim e Elizabeth Costello*O estupro é um tema recorrente na ficção de J. M. Coetzee, estando presente em romances como Desonra (1999), Diário de um ano ruim (2007) e Elizabeth Costello (2004). O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar cada representação de estupro desses romances para discutir as visões de violência e de desgraça apresentadas, relacionando-as às visões do próprio Coetzee, como a do quê – apesar de ele negar a censura – talvez seja melhor não ser dito. Em Desonra, David Lurie se vê caindo em desgraça após ser acusado pela aluna com quem teve um caso abrupto. Mais tarde, sua filha, Lucy, é brutalmente estuprada e prefere manter o incidente como privado. Ela acaba questionando a sexualidade masculina como um todo. Em Diário de um ano ruim, Anya acredita que a desonra recai sobre aqueles que a estupraram, e não sobre ela. Entretanto, Señor C discorda, vendo a desonra como miasma. Finalmente, em Elizabeth Costello, a protagonista relembra uma experiência com o mal pela qual passou com um homem. Ela então defende que algumas coisas não deveriam ser lidas ou escritas e discute o risco pelo qual escritores passam ao explorar áreas mais sombrias da experiência humana, visão que ecoa a de Coetzee.

Abstract:

Beckett has been one of the most important authors for J. M. Coetzee and his influence is clearly felt in Coetzee's novels. In this paper, I aim to reconsider the relation between modernism and postcolonialism by examining how Beckett's (modernist) legacy is inherited by Coetzee's (postcolonial) novels.

Abstract: Jacques Rancière and J. M. Coetzee, exact contemporaries, are both interested the worker’s access to aesthetic experience. In Rancière’s case, this involves looking backward to the fact that nineteenth-century workers were able to squeeze time from their working lives for art and literature. In Coetzee’s case, however, this problem of distributing aesthetic sensibility turns out to be a matter of looking forward in history, and of his own practice. How is he to write in a way that does not unfairly exempt him from work?

Abstract:

Every writer fetishises with some themes; that is to say, some writers pay excessive devotion to certain thematic preoccupations and these are seemingly recurrent in the course of an author's writing which eventual becomes his fetish. For a seasoned writer like John Michael Coetzee, in the course of his expansive writing history, one of his dominant discursive fascination amongst others has been with -the body-human and nonhuman. This paper dismantles and deconstructs the body as handled by Coetzee in Disgrace (1999) under binaries like human/animal body in the throes of pain/pleasure; the body as a signification of freedom/oppression;expression/repression; victim/victimizer, power/powerlessness; self/other; black/white; nor malcy/abnormality; desire/love, male/female, consequently revealing certain societal experiences like black racism and corrective rape in the contemporary South African society. The paper uses Coetzee's Disgrace (1999) focally, to demonstrate a comingling of the novelist's fascination or fetishisms to human and animal bodies to accentuate and reveal diverse intimations of human and animal conditions in South Africa and the world.

Abstract:

(Tożsamość rasowa, zachowania czarnych i białych w Hańbie J. M. Coetzee).Poprzez analizę jakościową – na podstawie ram teoretycznych i metodologii trzeciej fali socjolingwistyki – w artykule przeanalizowano, w jaki sposób interpretowane są tożsamość, styl i zachowanie w wybranych dialogach i wypowiedziach w Hańbie J. M. Coetzee. Artykuł ten analizuje dominację językową i opór ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem budowania tożsamości, stylizacji oraz zachowań czarnych i białych konstytuujących akty polityczne. Wykorzystując koncepcję językowego habitusu Pierre’a Bourdieu, pokazuje on, w jaki sposób ponadstandardowo wysokie (kulturalne) zachowania kulturowe białych postaci zachowują rasowe hierarchie i odtwarzają rasową społeczno-semantyczną wersję dyskursu kolonialnego. Z jednej strony czarne postacie wykorzystują socjolingwistyczne zasoby zachowań, stylizacji i naśladowania do kwestionowanie (językowej) dominacji i dyskursu rasowego. Z drugiej strony białe postacie używają antyrasistowskiego języka do krytykowania rasizmu i wyrażania swojej solidarności z grupami zmarginalizowanymi. Artykuł pokazuje więc, w jaki sposób zachowanie jest ucieleśnioną i osadzoną, złożoną i zwyczajną, wysoką i codzienną, spektakularną i nieprzejrzystą praktyką o głębokich konsekwencjach rasowych, politycznych i etycznych.

En este artículo se analizan los mecanismos narrativos empleados por el autor para inducir esa incertidumbre en el lector y que se relacionan con distintos conceptos cognitivos asociados como la teoría de la mente, la empatía o las diferencias en el procesado de una obra ficcional y otra de carácter factual.

Abstract:

J. M. Coetzee’s 1969 dissertation on Samuel Beckett, which remains unpublished, has been addressed variously within Coetzee studies, but we have not yet appreciated the close relation between this extraordinary postgraduate work and Coetzee’s later fiction. This is partly because Coetzee later distanced himself both from Beckett and from the mathematics important to his dissertation but seemingly at odds with his later creative practice as a novelist. In this essay I provide an account of the literary-critical and literary-historical context of Coetzee’s postgraduate research. Rarely have we seen an instance where one major writer is both a major influence on another but also the subject of that other’s rigorous academic study. From the infertile soil of the field of stylostatistics, this essay aims to trace the unlikely flowering of Coetzee’s doctoral work in his later writings and in the development of what I term a poetics of embeddedness. Coetzee’s early work as a forerunner in the digital humanities, and his writings on form, style, and linguistic skepticism, also shed light on contemporary debates about postcritique and the possibility of politically committed literature.

Abstract:

This article interrogates the humanist discourse in J. M. Coetzee's Waiting forthe Barbarians(1980), negotiating the intersections between the novelʼs narrator, the Magistrate, and Coetzee, the public intellectual. The ethical narrator, through the very act of witnessing and describing imperial violence, objects to the practices of torture perpetrated on captured prisoners yet feels guilty for his complicity with the torturers. The articulation of his difficult position as a humanist serving a declining Empire forms the essence of a humanist discourse that corresponds to the difficulties and ambivalences experienced by the postcolonial writer/intellectual. Using the work of Edward Said on the representations of the intellectual and Coetzee's views on ethical authorship and torture, the present article locates the humanist discourse articulated by the Magistrate in the center of Coetzee's conception of the public intellectual. While Coetzee undertakes the task of representing oppression without reinscribing it, his narrator struggles with distanc-ing himself from the oppressors physically and psychologically, and thus achieving the relative autonomy Said called for. In the process, the Magistrate moves from a position of consent to one of dissent.

Abstract:

The Nobel Prize-winner South African author, J. M. Coetzee in his debut novel, Dusklands (1974), allows the reader to take a look into the astonishing worlds of vulnerability and violence through the juxtaposition of two locally and temporally discrepant narratives, whose fictional world is dominated by authority. This paper attempts to explore the collapse of the individual identity of the narrators, along the prevailing literary discourses around the time of the novel’s publication, with special regard to the changing concept of the self in post-modern works and to the manners of rewriting its Cartesian concept.
