The vantage point of this thesis is that literature, as an art form directed at life, at a portrayal of life in all its complexity, is exactly for that reason most closely concerned with death. Being specifically not a study of literature about death, but rather literature and death, it is an inquiry into the manner in which literature treasures death as a condition of its existence. The subtitle expresses the central hypothesis explicitly: The possibilities of the text are largely dependent on the text's commitment to impossibility. The assumption that underpins this formulation is that death is the utmost possibility - the impossibility! - of any cognitive endeavour. 2014-10-06T11:01:49Z 2014-10-06T11:01:49Z 2007 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8079 afr application/pdf Afrikaans and Netherlandic Studies Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
