性别、殖民、动物伦理:《耻》中的强奸与“屠”狗,
single work
criticism
'This essay approaches the rape of Lucy and the simultaneous massacre of her dogs in J.M. Coetzee’s Disgrace from three perspectives. First, the plot reveals the collusion between sexism and speciesism. Second, in the context of South-African colonialism, the rape of a white woman and the massacre of "colonial dogs" by blacks are acts of revenge in reaction to colonial history. Third, Coetzee’s animal ethics finds full expression in his choice of such "incriminating terms" as massacre and L?sen when narrating the killing of dogs.'

库切小说中的“属下”形象——后殖民理论视域下的一种阐释,
single work
criticism
'J.M. Coetzee has created a number of insulted or damaged characters in his novels. Through the prism of Spivak’s post-colonial theory, it is not difficult to find that the resistance and silence hidden behind these characters are highly compatible with Spivak’s discussion of the subaltern. Further analysis shows that Coetzee has endowed these silent subalterns with unusual significance: they are not only a silent declaration of existence, but also powerful agents to deconstruct the empire and resist cognitive violence. Significantly and illuminatingly, Coetzee uses literature to break the dictatorship of historical writing and to reproduce the richness and variety of marginalized cultures.'
