| spelling | oai:open.uct.ac.za:11427/8098 The poetics of reciprocity in selected fictions by J. M. Coetzee Rose, Arthur James Clarkson, Carrol English Literature Includes bibliographical references (leaves 93-96). 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. 2014-10-06T11:06:31Z 2014-10-06T11:06:31Z 2007 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/8098 eng application/pdf Department of English Language and Literature Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
