Abstract:
Nadine Gordimer, écrivain anglophone sud-africain a reçu le prix Nobel en 1991 ; il récompensait l'auteur de dix romans et de neuf recueils de nouvelles. Dans le cadre d'une approche narratologique on constate l'utilisation particulière que l'auteur fait de la focalisation, recourant avec subtilité a divers modes. Il confère un rôle important au narrateur dans les relations auteur lecteur et narrateur, tout en contraignant son lecteur a s'investir dans le récit par le biais de "l'effet-personnage". On remarque l’évolution, d'une part du rôle accorde par l'auteur au personnage noir, d'autre par

Abstract:
In South Africa, questions of space and censorship are inseparable. It is impossible to discuss one without discussing the other. The apartheid censors set themselves up as "guardians of the literary", purporting to create a protected space where a particularly South African literature could flourish. In this thesis, my argument is that to be a "guardian of the literary" meant to be a guardian of space in literature, the way it was represented and the way characters moved through it. In order explore this argument I have focused on the censors' response to one writer in particular, Nadine Gord

Abstract:
The purpose of this essay is to describe and examine differences in social behavior and social interactions in Nadine Gordimer’s July’s people. Specifically, attention will be given to the interim order that occurs after the collapse of the former South African regime and before a new regime has been established. In short, the essay attempts to answer the question how power is redistributed after the black revolution that occurs in the narrative. Antonio Gramsci’s Neo-Marxist theory is used to examine who dominates and who is subordinated among the novel’s main characters.

This doctoral project is an analytical study of South African writer, Nadine Gordimer's fiction produced from 1949 to 1994.

The &quot;borderland&quot; in Gordimer's fiction acts as a liminal space and becomes a connective tissue in her characters' lives. It emerges in the form of crossing physical frontiers and mental barriers which existed in South African society. Through moments of transiti

Abstract:
A deconstrução da relação entre a história e o indivíduo é um mote que escritores pós‐coloniais contemporâneos, como Nadine Gordimer e Salman Rushdie, se esforçam por empreender. Numa época em que a ética e a estética parecem estar em constante conflito, Gordimer e Rushdie expressam os seus pontos de vista na perspectiva de um narrador na primeira pessoa, reflectindo sobre as turbulências que afligem as suas respectivas nações pós‐coloniais, na segunda metade do século XX. Através da construção de paralelos e eventuais assimetrias entre os dois autores, esta tese pretende demonstrar a forma co

Abstract:
Cette étude porte sur le corps noir et l'intersubjectivité dans Ceux de July de Nadine Gordimer (1981), Tar Baby de Toni Morrison (1981) et Tu t'appelleras Tanga de Calixthe Beyala (1988). Dans chacun des récits, la représentation du corps noir est le pivot des relations qui unit les personnages noirs et blancs. L'évolution des différentes trames narratives dépend de la réinscription permanente de la figure du Noir dans les rapports intersubjectifs entre les Noirs et Blancs. Le premier objectif de ce mémoire de maîtrise est donc d'exposer la mise en scène littéraire de cette figure, avant tout

M.A. (English)<br>This study approaches a much neglected area, not only of English literary research in South Africa generally, but also more specifically of Nadine Gordimer's writing career. Over the last fifty-one years Gordimer has produced approximately 126 short stories. These have variously been taken up in twelve collections, ranging from Face to Face in 1949 to Jump in 1991.However, most of the recognition she has received pertains to her novels which are frequently praised for their historical awareness and their commitment to the disfranchised in South Africa.

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>外國語文學系<br>91<br>ABSTRACT This thesis examines an internalized racial hierarchy in South African white liberalism in the work of Nadine Gordimer’s July’s People. In particular, it considers the troubled relationship between the white liberal-minded masters and their black male servants. It is through a transition of political and economical roles that Gordimer reveals the limitation and illumination of the white liberal belief─a false concept constructed in a relationship that is based on material exploitation. The body of the thesis is comprised of three chapters

Gordimer presents the opposition between the personal and political self-realization through revolutionary commitments by Rosa’s struggle for

Abstract:
The changing social consciousness in South Africa during the twentieth century falls within a political-historical framework of events: amongst others, World Wars I and II; the institution of the Apartheid Laws in 1948; the declaration of a South African Republic in 1960; Nelson Mandela's release in 1992. The literary social consciousness of Abrahams, Paton, Mphahlele and Gordimer spans the time before and after 1948. Their novels reflect the changing reality of a country whose racial and social problems both pre-date and will outlive the apartheid ideology. These and other novelists' cha

Abstract:
碩士<br>靜宜大學<br>英國語文學系<br>99<br>This thesis aims to discuss the concept of “Postcolonial Ecology” presented in Nadine Gordimer’s The Conservationist. For the setting, in this novel, Gordimer sets out to re-examine the main character Mehring’s settler conservationism to see his false consciousness in preserving his land and life in South Africa. It is significant that the colonial imagination stereotype of Africa is expressed frequently through the ownership or possession of the earth and interwoven with complexities of race and power structures in South African history and literary work. Indeed,
