Abstract:

The aim of this article is to shed light on Nadine Gordimer’s political convictions in the context of the decolonization processes in the Belgian Congo (later the Democratic Republic of the Congo) in the years 1960–61. The article begins with a brief overview of Gordimer’s political views. It is argued that while Gordimer’s stance in the early 1950s had been that of liberal humanism (an influence that came to her also from the reading of E. M. Forster), by the end of this decade she began to question its relevance in South Africa. As a result, she decided to redefine both her political and art

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.

Abstract:

The novels of Nadine Gordimer run parallel with the era of apartheid. They are a record of the realities of the period during the apartheid and also the interregnum period in South Africa in a chronological manner. In South Africa, Gordimer belonged to a minority within the minority. But contained within that small white world is another group of whites who are opposed to the system of racial discrimination known as apartheid and stand with the country's majority. Nadine Gordimer examines the nature of apartheid which according to her, changes depending on who was looking at the issue. Differe

Abstract:

Sue Kossew spoke to Nadine Gordimer in her home in Johannesburg on 25 January 2001. Nadine Gordimer is the only South African writer to have won a Nobel Prize for Literature. She has been a lifelong fighter for human rights and has championed the cause of political and personal freedom in her native South Africa and abroad. This political dimension has always informed her fiction but, in her Nobel Prize Acceptance Speech, she stated that ‘nothing factual I write or say will be as truthful as my fiction’.

Abstract:

During the three years in which Gordimer drafted The House Gun (1998), she relied heavily on South African case law, international jurisprudence, and the discerning editorial eye of Nelson Mandela’s lawyer, George Bizos. As such, my reading of The House Gun brings new attention to the novel’s engagement with the reconciliatory efforts of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission and the juridical work of the South African Constitutional Court to redefine the terms of reconciliation in the country. Through language in a fictional courtroom, Gordimer’s novel turns the process of repair into one th

Abstract:

The essay demonstrates that a literary writer is not just an advocate for the ideal life but is also capable of reflecting how life could be lived by confronting potentially emergent social changes. Drawing on theoretical and methodological tools of Faircloughian critical discourse analysis and using Nadine Gordimer’s No Time Like the Present, a novel that represents post-apartheid social realities as its data source, the essay shows that, after the collapse of apartheid, many problems remain with which South Africa must contend. Gordimer shows that post-apartheid South Africa must gradually e

Abstract:

Background: The dystopian novel has evolved as a critical literary genre, reflecting societal anxieties about industrialization, authoritarianism, and global inequities. Nadine Gordimer’s The Pickup (2001), while not explicitly dystopian, contains fragments of dystopian thought, exploring themes of migration, identity, and systemic inequality in post-apartheid South Africa. The novel’s portrayal of alienation, socio-economic divides, and existential uncertainty aligns with dystopian motifs, offering a critique of global power structures and neoliberal systems.

While recognizing the culture of their European ancestors, they wanted to integrate into the black South African society.

The aim of the article is to describe Nadine Gordimerʼs political development in the late 1950s by analysing her travel essay “Egypt Revisited” (1959) and her short story “A Thing of the Past” (1959). In the first part of the article, Gordimerʼs political stance is explained in reference to her non-fictional texts. It is argued that in the late 1950s Gordimer was torn between her liberal humanist belief in multiracialism and the awareness that this stance was becoming increasingly untenable in the changing historical circumstances. Her journey to Egypt in 1959 gave her a valuable opportunity t

Abstract:

Through aspects of style in July’s People, Nadine Gordimer provides a dystopian critique of the fallacious ideas and the oppressive patterns inherent in the apartheid regime and unfolds a utopian vision of post-apartheid South Africa. Wrapped in a futuristic narrative mode, the events in the novel examine the lying and dying days of apartheid and its harsh realities and imagine the life of whites in the postapartheid era. The analysis demonstrates that using irony, symbols, and allegory, the author rebukes power differentials, and primitive conditions born from racial hierarchy but also unveil
