Bessie Head's writing illustrates a rich fusion of styles, subjects and philosophical and literary influences. I explore this range by drawing both on postcolonial and feminist theories and on the variety of cultural references that Head acknowledges and that her writing evokes. Postcolonial perspectives are used to confront Head's attention to the discursive foundations of social fictions, relations and identities. Postcolonial theories also shed light on the figurative resonance of Head's writing. Her fictional insights into power are extremely concrete, but also fathom many fundamental and enduring patterns of power and subject constitution. 2015-01-01T12:27:56Z 2015-01-01T12:27:56Z 2000 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/10820 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
