Masthuggets asociala : En postkolonial analys av Zac O´Yeahs Tandooriälgengottfridson, david January 2021 (has links)
In this study, I analyze Zac O´Yeah´s novel Tandooriälgen (2006) and discuss how it relates to postcolonial theory and terms like otherness and mimicry. The novel takes place in a not so distant future, where Sweden and Europe have joined the Asian Union which is governed by India. Herrman Barsk, a detective in his hometown of Gothenburg (now called Gautanpuri) has to solve a crime involving four murdered victims that have been grilled in a tandoori oven. The case leads Barsk to the criminal underworld of Gautanpuri, where asocial natives roam the streets and religious extremists plan to liberate the city by use of terrorism. Basing my analysis on postcolonial theorists like Homi K. Bhabha and Frantz Fanon, I examine Barsks role as a colonial subject to identify a critical intention in the novel.
