Michael K: Pastiche, parody or the inversion of Michael Kohlhaas
John Coetzee's writing is a rewriting of texts of South African and world literature: Dusklands is based on South African travel writing, In the Heart of the Country on the South African plaasroman, especially Olive Schreiner's The Story of an African Farm, Foe on Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, and The Master of Petersburg on Dostoevski's Demons (cf. Fanger 1994:15; Horn P. 1996). Life and Times of Michael K, too, has been studied for its relati…
It is much more complicated and much more fluid than mere linearity”: Female genealogies in André Brink\'s Imaginings of Sand
One of the subversive strategies of Brink in Imaginings of Sand (1996) is his rewriting of male history as a female genealogy. Genealogy is the instrument which confers legitimacy and controls the transfer of authority and property through various judicial processes. In this way he extends the boundaries of what it means to be 'male' by adopting a female persona, although one might argue that his male gaze nevertheless shows in his 'female' narra…

Writing South Africa: Literature, Apartheid, and Democracy, 1970–1995
During the final years of the apartheid era and the subsequent transition to democracy, South African literary writing caught the world's attention as never before. Writers responded to the changing political situation and its daily impact on the country's inhabitants with works that recorded or satirised state-enforced racism, explored the possibilities of resistance and rebuilding, and creatively addressed the vexed question of literature's rel…
Paranoia: The quest for the Univocity of the phallic signifier in Kafka's text and its readers
Criticism, writing about a writer and his work, is an interrogation. Interrogations are always undertaken by the court in the name of truth and in the name of knowledge which is power. Günter Mecke builds his deciphering of Kafka on the basis of reading his text as a cipher, as an arbitrarily chosen sign, a secret writing or scrambled text, which he then decodes into a Klartext, an uncoded text. Apart from the fact that such a statement presuppos…
Writing my Reading: Essays on Literary Politics in South Africa
These essays are interventions in a cultural contestation in South Africa during the Seventies and Eighties. Some of them are more general in nature and were written in the first instance as public oral interventions in debates whose outcome contributed to the founding of South Africa's post-apartheid society. Other essays are more specifically aimed at poetic practices, particularly as these have been of crucial aesthetic and ultimately ethical …
Orature, Literature and the Media
This paper argues that people yearn to return to an Africa, not as it actually was, but as it should have been. An Africa based on the written accounts of colonialists and travellers because the Africans themselves had been incapable of “writing” in the strictest sense of the word ‐ a contention negating, for example, the significance of drawings as a form of “writing”. The African anger at a loss of origin because the past is inaccessible, is un…
