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:
J. M. Coetzee’s 1969 dissertation on Samuel Beckett, which remains unpublished, has been addressed variously within Coetzee studies, but we have not yet appreciated the close relation between this extraordinary postgraduate work and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:
Abstract The first two books of J. M. Coetzee's recent trilogy, The Childhood of Jesus (2013) and The Schooldays of Jesus (2016), are extremely strange. Just when “the Australian fiction,” following the works set in South Africa and various international locations, was thought to be the last phase of Coetzee's career, the Nobel laureate changed tack. The Jesus books challenge readers and critics with their sparse tone, lengthy philosophical dialogues, and allegorical obscurity. Their difficulty seems to shed little light on some of the most intriguing questions about Coetzee's writing: namely, its form and its interaction with allegory. Beginning with a reappraisal of a classic work of Coetzee studies, this essay then lays out a theory about the connection between reading and writing allegory within traditions of what constitutes a “novel.” In the second section, examples from Coetzee's earlier fiction are analyzed, with focus on In the Heart of the Country (1977) and Boyhood (1997). Parental roles are found to be vital in the connections between the novel form and allegory. The third section applies these analyses to Childhood and Schooldays. Focus on the books’ references to Plato and Don Quixote helps scrutinize their philosophy and reach the thesis of this essay: that with these books, Coetzee experiments with a form that goes beyond the novel.

Abstract:
One of the notable features of JM Coetzee's work is the portrayal in his novels, particularly in his 1999 Booker Prize-winning novel, Disgrace, of worlds that often seem bleak and bereft of redemption. In this dissertation I will argue that there is a resonance in Coetzee's writing that goes beyond the political and historical and that adds another dimension to his work. The focus of my dissertation will be an attempt to account for this other 'dimension' within the broader socio-political-historical nexus that informs much of his work. I will argue that this other dimension represents an ongoing conccrn with the questions of redemption and salvation, particularly as they are manifested in his latcr works, Disgrace and Elizabeth Costello. These concerns, however, are not just a consequence of Coetzee's evolving thought. As I will show, they are present in his earlier texts as well. To this end, I will consider the ways in which the themes of redemption and salvation, in the specifically religious and Christian sense of these words, also resonate in In the Heart of the Country (1977) and Life and Times of Michael K (1983).

Abstract:
L’œuvre du romancier sud-africain J. M. Coetzee met en scène plusieurs aspects qui caractérisent la condition post-coloniale. Coetzee complexifie les catégories du centre et de périphérie, d’identité et de différence en proposant une lecture radicalement différente de l’altérité. Sa critique du discours identitaire, sa remise en question du concept de représentation, l’indétermination générique qui caractérise certains de ses romans, le décentrement de la subjectivité et de l’écriture sont autant de tentatives pour proposer une lecture originale et singulière de l’altérité. Une lecture qui ne fait pas violence à l’autre, mais qui se fait violence pour accueillir et faire advenir une altérité radicale. Cette thèse démontre comment le choix d’une poétique de la complexité chez Coetzee vise à proposer une écriture et une lecture éthique de l’altérité
J. M. Coetzee’s œuvre stages many aspects of the post-colonial condition. Coetzee renders complex the categories of centre and periphery, identity and difference by proposing a radically different reading of alterity. His critique of identitarian discourse, his questioning of the concepts of representation, the decentered writing and subjectivity and the generic indeterminacy that characterise many of his novels are all means of proposing an original and inimitable reading of alterity. A reading that does justice instead of doing violence to the other. This thesis demonstrates how Coetzee’s choice of a poetics of complexity aims at proposing an ethical writing and reading of alterity

Abstract:
Boyhood (1997) is the first volume of Scenes from Provincial Life trilogy, written by the South-African J. M. Coetzee. Boyhood’s narrative has peculiar characteristics for an autobiographical novel, as the third person narrator and the use of Present Simple. This research’s hypothesis is that the protagonist, the boy John Coetzee, discovers himself and discovers himself within the apartheid regime; and this self-discovery is not done through the form of teaching or reporting from a conscious and rational narrative. The process of discovering himself within this regime occurs through its infantile conscience, puerile observations and the construction of the general protagonist’s perception. From this hypothesis, we discuss in this dissertation selfwritting narratives and traditional confessional narratives in literature, based on Coetzee’s theoretical studies, to later analyze some of the main features of the narrative in this novel to verify how non-religious confession techniques are present in Boyhood. Coetzee manipulates these confessional techniques avoiding the typical confessional narrative, present in authors like Augustine, J. J. Rousseau and Dostoevsky. In this study, we also observe that the narrative episodes are based on confession, a self-investigating method that highlights painful contents to be confessed. Among these contents, we noticed the feelings of guilt and shame are recurrent in most the protagonist’s experiences. Confessional narrative is a method that Coetzee uses to debug knowledge and to select themes presented in Boyhood, differently from traditional confessional narratives.
Boyhood (1997) é o primeiro volume da trilogia autobiográfica Scenes from Provincial Life, do escritor sul-africano J. M. Coetzee. A narrativa de Boyhood tem características peculiares para um romance autobiográfico, como o narrador em terceira pessoa e o uso do tempo presente. A hipótese de pesquisa é que o protagonista, o menino John Coetzee, descobre-se e descobre-se no regime do apartheid, e essa autodescoberta não se dá pela forma de ensinamento ou de relato a partir de uma narrativa consciente e racional. O processo de descobrir-se dentro desse regime dá-se através de sua consciência infantil, de observações pueris e da construção da percepção geral do protagonista. A partir dessa hipótese, discutimos nessa dissertação narrativas da escrita do eu e narrativas confessionais tradicionais na literatura, baseada em estudos teóricos de Coetzee, para, posteriormente, analisamos algumas das principais características da narrativa nessa obra para verificar como a técnicas de confissão não-religiosas estão presentes em Boyhood. Coetzee manipula essas técnicas evitando a típica narrativa confessional presente em autores como Agostinho, J. J. Rousseau e Dostoievski. Neste estudo, observamos também que os episódios da narrativa dão-se a partir da confissão, um método autoinvestigativo que traz à tona conteúdos dolorosos a serem confessados. Dentre esses conteúdos, também notamos que os sentimentos de culpa e de vergonha são recorrentes em boa parte dessas experiências do protagonista. A narrativa confessional é um método que Coetzee utiliza para depurar o conhecimento e selecionar os temas apresentados em Boyhood, diferente de narrativas confessionais tradicionais.

Abstract:
The subject of the present PhD thesis consists in an analysis of the fictional treatment of moral concepts and realities in some novels by the contemporary South African writer J. M. Coetzee. The thesis as a whole may be regarded as grounded on the idea that literature bears significant relevance to the contemporary ethical discourse in general, and to an understanding of the postcolonial one in particular. The following analysis will therefore address the moral concepts as context-embedded and it will seek to discuss Coetzee's treatment of them in relation to a broad range of philosophical considerations. Within the framework of Coetzee scholarship, the question of morality has been rarely addressed in a consistent, detailed manner; the present study explores the distinctiveness of Coetzee's depiction of moral issues through a rigorous scrutiny of the individual consciousness of the main characters. Within each chapter, the twofold aim is to address the particularities of the narrative techniques used by the author (through theoretical discussions applied to the text and through close reading of relevant elements and aspects) and to understand the moral concepts depicted in each of the novels discussed: guilt and evil in Waiting for the Barbarians; love and shame in Age of Iron; humility in Life and Times of Michael K; and self-deception, disgrace, humiliation in Disgrace. Contrary to the frequent view that regards Coetzee as politically passive, evasive, uninvolved, the present thesis attempts to show that the specific ways in which Coetzee engages with history and with the social realities of his time and place betray a complexly nuanced perception of his historical context and an intense awareness of moral realities. The novels analysed below can be described as unsettling for the reader, due to their exploration of such themes as (the impossibility of) personal redemption, freedom, and social change. By a careful analysis of the interconnectedness between stylistic and thematic particularities, the thesis aims at disclosing the effectiveness of Coetzee's narrative strategies in engaging the reader morally and in inviting self-questioning and radical revisions of personal and social moral assumptions.

Abstract:
O escopo do presente trabalho relaciona-se à percepção do registro religioso na obra do autor sul-africano J. M. Coetzee, tomando por base os seus três primeiros romances. A função desse registro no âmbito da ficção do escritor tem a ver com a idéia de religião como relego, a palavra latina para cuidado, que acho pode traduzir um exame cuidadoso acerca das possibilidades da linguagem em face da crise de representação no chamado momento pós-moderno, bem como uma procura por alternativas aos impasses advindos dessa crise. Coetzee utiliza-se da ficção como um modo de pensar e, assim, efetua inicialmente uma investigação do próprio meio lingüístico através de uma atitude auto-reflexiva na escrita, chamando atenção para os discursos hegemônicos e das relações de poder deles advindas. Este prática é perceptível nos romances em Dusklands e In the Heart of the Country, que se mostram reflexões não somente sobre textos ideologicamente motivados, mas também sobre as subjetividades que se formam no âmbito desses discursos. Nessa dinâmica, a linguagem volta-se sobre si mesma, gerando o perigo de infinitute e tem de se confrontar com o vazio da significação sempre deferida. Como resultado, o escritor elabora estratégias (a paródia, por exemplo) que tentam driblar essa possibilidade ao imaginar maneiras de expressar o desejo de reciprocidade em relação à alteridade, ou seja, ao elemento obliterado, emudecido, marginalizado dos discursos do poder. Desta forma, já se esboça um apelo ao registro religioso, quer seja através da alusão ao mito, quer seja através de narradores ensandecidos ou em auto-engano. Com isso, as opções discursivas nos livros apontam para um imperativo: imaginar uma maneira em que a escrita possa efetuar um jogo (play) de rearranjo de regras e convenções e, por esse meio, abordar o 'inimaginável', ou seja, o sofrimento, a justiça e a solidariedade - o intraduzível na linguagem. A consolidação desse processo provoca em Waiting for Barbarians, o terceiro romance de Coetzee, uma opção por um realismo 'reconstituído', longe dos arroubos metaficcionais dos livros anteriores e que se contrapõe à infinitude da auto-reflexão quando faz uso da alegoria e, por meio dela, tornar possível o processo kenótico de esvaziamento dos discursos do poder e a construção de algum tipo de relacionamento com o outro; esse relacionamento denomino caritas.

ABSTRACT This essay aims to study rationality and otherness in J.M. Coetzee’s Foe. Susan Barton, the female protagonist in the book, is rational and struggles for power and independence in the society of the Enlightenment where the story is set. She is seen as non-rational, less valuable and as Other of the white, European male due to her gender.             Friday is male, but non-white and he is perceived as Other as well because of the colour of his skin. Although Friday is mute he tries to communicate, but his ways of communication are often ignored by others.             Through the representation of these characters Coetzee subverts the conventional idea that rationality is linked to the white European male.

The purpose of this text is to analyze the novel The lives of animals, by South-African professor and novelist, J. M. Coetzee, having metafiction as a focus. The lives of animals is constructed upon two striking reports resulting from lectures delivered by J. M. Coetzee at Princeton University, in the United States, in 1997; eventually, Coetzee transformed that material into a novel, giving voice to the writer – his seminal character and alter ego – Elizabeth Costello. These are two lectures in which the writer defends the basic rights of non-human animals. Besides this, J. M. Coetzee’s work calls our attention to the metaficcional devices employed in the narratives. For the discussion of metafiction, we use Hutcheon (1980; 1991) and Waugh (1984). We employ metaficcional principles in the analysis of Coetzee’s text, not merely as an illustration, but to verify how important and lasting this arrangement is in contemporary literature. Since The lives of animals is a novel in which both the life and rights of non-human animals are in the foreground, we articulate metareference with theories about power relations, so as to corroborate the cruelty inflicted on non-human animals. The results presented reveal both the relevance and adequacy of metafiction in the relationship between ethics and aesthetics.
Este texto objetiva analisar o livro A Vida dos Animais (2009), do professor universitário e romancista sul-africano J. M. Coetzee, à luz da teoria da metaficção. A Vida dos Animais traz-nos relatos contundentes de duas palestras que J. M. Coetzee proferiu na Universidade de Princeton, nos Estados Unidos, em 1997; posteriormente, Coetzee transformou aquele material em romance, cedendo a voz à escritora – sua personagem seminal e alter ego – Elizabeth Costello. São duas palestras que a romancista apresentou nas quais defende direitos básicos dos animais não-humanos. Além disso, a obra de J. M. Coetzee nos chama a atenção para os recursos metaficcionais empregados nas narrativas. Na leitura desse construto, recorreremos aos teóricos da metarreferência como Hutcheon (1980; 1991) e Waugh (1984). Empregamos os postulados da metaficção na análise do texto coetzeeano não só como ilustração, mas para verificar a importância e perenidade desse arranjo na literatura contemporânea. Por tratar-se de um romance em que a vida e o direito dos animais ganham destaque, aliamos os princípios metarreferentes a teorias que abordam relações de poder, de modo a referendar a crueldade a que os animais não-humanos são submetidos. Os resultados da análise apresentada ratificam a relevância e adequação da metaficção no que diz respeito à articulação entre ética e estética.

AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: J. M. Coetzee se werke ondersoek dikwels op intense en ongewone wyse wat kreatiwiteit is en hoe dit werk, wat die bronne en oorspronge daarvan is, en verwonder sig aan die onvoorspelbaarheid van die voorwaardes en katalisators vir, en die aard en uitkomste van, die kreatiewe proses. Hierdie essay ondersoek eerstens die teoretisering van literêre kreatiwiteit deur veral Derek Attridge, wat hy hoofsaaklik baseer op Coetzee se werk. Tweedens word die komplekse uitbeeldings – of performance – van kreatiwiteit en die kreatiewe proses in Coetzee se oeuvre, spesifiek aan die hand van The Master of Petersburg en die post-Disgrace werke, ontleed. Daar word gefokus op skeppende karakters en alter ego’s, veral skrywers, wat toenemend hul verskyning in Coetzee se prosa maak. Kwessies van skrywerlike mag, die etiek van skryf, die konflik tussen werklikheidsvlakke binne fiksie asook tussen werklikheid en fiksie, soos dit uitspeel in die hibriede en eksperimentele laat werke, kom aan bod. Die essay maak dikwels van stipleestegnieke gebruik in die lees van die betrokke werke. Ander strategieë word egter ook ingespan, veral by die lees van die laat werke. Die siening van kreatiewe impuls wat aldus blyk, is ‘n radikale een. Kreatiwiteit is blind vir moraliteit en dalk selfs etiek. Dit word onder andere gelykgestel aan die epileptiese val. Dit gaan oor die oopstelling vir – en die eksklusiewe verantwoordelikheid teenoor – die onverwagse, die Beckettiaanse/Derridiaanse proses van ‘n produktiewe/onproduktiewe gewag. Dit word vergestalt deur ‘n gebeurtenis wat beslag vind in die onverminderbare eiesoortigheid van die literêre werk.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: J. M. Coetzee’s work often investigates in an intense and unusual manner the nature of creativity and how it works, what the sources and origins of creativity are, and marvels at the unpredictability of the preconditions and catalysts for, and the nature and outcomes of, the creative process. This essay investigates, in the first place, the theorisation of literary creativity by especially Derek Attridge, which he mainly bases on Coetzee’s work. In the second instance, the complex portrayals – or performances – of creativity and the creative process in Coetzee’s oeuvre are analysed, particularly with reference to The Master of Petersburg and the post-Disgrace works. The focus is on creative characters, particularly authors, who are increasingly making an appearance in Coetzee’s prose. Questions of authorial power, the ethics of writing, the conflict of reality levels within fiction as well as between reality and fiction, as it plays out in the hybird and experimental late works, are presented. The essay often uses close reading in the reading of the mentioned works. Other strategies are also used, particularly in the reading of the late works. The view of the creative impulse thus crystallising, is a radical one. Creativity is blind to morality, and perhaps also ethics. It is equated, inter alia, to the epileptic fit. It is about the opening up – and the exclusive responsibility – to the unexpected, to the Beckettian/Derridian process of a productive/unproductive waiting. It is represented by a happening which precipitates in the irreducible singularity of the literary work.

Abstract:
Esta dissertação propõe uma leitura da chamada ficção australiana de J. M. Coetzee composta por Elizabeth Costello (2003), Homem lento (2005) e Diário de um ano ruim (2007). Esses romances da fase madura do autor compartilham um núcleo de questões estéticas e éticas, configurando um conjunto significativo marcado pela inflexão autorreflexiva. O trabalho acompanha a constituição e a trajetória dos escritores-personagens Elizabeth Costello e Señor C, discutindo como a inserção do recurso do duplo do escritor desestabiliza as noções de autor, personagem e narrador, além de borrar os limites entre ficção e não ficção. A dramatização do processo criativo no centro das obras é outro foco da análise, com o objetivo de entender a encenação da impossibilidade do romance nos moldes do realismo formal. O estudo ainda tenta sugerir a resposta de Coetzee sobre a validade do romance no mundo contemporâneo.
This dissertation presents a reading of J. M. Coetzees so-called Australian fiction comprising the works Elizabeth Costello (2003), Slow Man (2005), and Diary of a Bad Year (2007). These novels, belonging to the authors late prose, share core aesthetic and ethical issues. They are meaningful works characterized by self-reflexive inflection. This study follows Elizabeth Costello and Señor C in their writer-characters constitution and journey to discuss how the presence of the writers double, as literary device, destabilizes the notions of author, character, and narrator, as well as it blurs the boundaries between fiction and non-fiction. The dramatization of the creative process in the center of Coetzees works is another focus of analysis aiming to understand the impossibility of staging the novel in formal realism patterns. This work also attempts to suggest Coetzees response on the validity of the novel in the contemporary world.

David Attwell, in the interview that prefaces "The Poetics of Reciprocity" section of Doubling the Point, identifies a recurrent concern with the function of reciprocity in the work of J. M Coetzee. 1 "The I-You relation ... connects with larger things in the whole of [Coetzee's] work, what I would like to call broadly the poetics of reciprocity." (Attwell 1992: 58) This dissertation seeks to examine the poetics of reciprocity as an aesthetic-ethical concern of Coetzee' s fiction. By establishing Coetzee's works as an extended critique of reciprocity in their thematic and structural elements, this dissertation presents a notion of reciprocity that acknowledges both an ethical imperative to engage with others and the aesthetic problems of depicting that ethical engagement in art. The aim of the dissertation is therefore to show the use of a poetics of reciprocity in raising and examining particular ethical and aesthetic issues in Coetzee' s work.
