1	Postkoloniale perspektiewe in enkele romans van André P. Brink Bothma, Mathilda Cecilia 30 November 2004 (has links) Text in Afrikaans / This study investigates postcolonial aspects of the prose oeuvre of André P. Brink, with specific reference to his historiographical texts `n Oomblik in die wind, Houd-den-Bek, Die eerste lewe van Adamastor, Inteendeel, Sandkastele and Donkermaan. The texts can be described as links in a textual history of South Africa: a history corresponding to the official version, revisioning it in an imaginative way. The texts also criticize political (mal)practices, and the pre-colonial, colonial and postcolonial social contexts of the country are critically scrutinized. The texts offer suggestions for a new political dispensation. Since the seventies the Brink oeuvre has developed a multi-dimensional postcolonial approach. Aspects of post-colonialism, post-structuralism, magical realism and feminism as articulated in the texts, are analyzed and interpreted. Brink's investigation of problems concerning historiography, and the relation between history and fiction, comprised an important aspect of the research leading to this report. / Afrikaans & Theory of Literature / D.Litt. et Phil Re-imagining history The Rights of Desire Imaginings of Sand To the Contrary The First Life of Adamastor A Chain of Voices An Instant in the Wind Postcolonial perspectives Criticism of socio-political context New socio-political dispensation 839.3635 Postcolonialism in literature Ecocriticism -- South Africa Poststructuralism -- South Africa Authors, Afrikaans -- Historiography Literature and history -- South Africa
