   Sammanfattning : The study investigates how both fictional and theoretical texts engage in 'worrying the lines' between conceptions of home and exile. It analyzes the ways in which home and exile are problematized in novels by Louise Erdrich, J M Coetzee, and David Malouf, to bring them in contact and collision with similar reconceptualizations in the writings of Homi K.

4. 3. The Sacrificial Child in Maori Literature: Narratives of Redemption by Keri Hulme, Patricia Grace, Witi Ihimaera, and Alan Duff

   Författare :Ulrika Andersson; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Maori fiction; childhood studies; Keri Hulme; Patricia Grace; Witi Ihimaera; Alan Duff; sacrificial child; children in literature;

   Sammanfattning : This study is an examination of the theme of the sacrificial child in four of the most well-known novels by Maori authors published in the 1980s and 1990s: Keri Hulme’s The Bone People (1983), Patricia Grace’s Potiki (1986), Witi Ihimaera’s The Whale Rider (1987), and Alan Duff’s Once Were Warriors (1990). The motif of a special child whose death is the pivotal event of the narrative functions partly as a symbol of the destructive marginalization of the Maori people in colonial and postcolonial New Zealand, but it is also given a redemptive significance in that, in all the novels, the child’s death has the effect of healing and strengthening its community or family.

   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Charlotte Perkins Gilman; utopia; feminism; sexuality; marriage; motherhood;

   Sammanfattning : The revival of critical interest in the writings of the early twentieth-century American feminist Charlotte Perkins Gilman is linked to the emergence of a second wave of struggle for women's liberation in the 1960s and 70s. Before this, Gilman's work, in particular her short stories and novels, remained neglected or forgotten in the literary histories of modern American literature. LÄS MER
