Stretching The Language To Its Limits: A Stylistic Analysis Of Post-apartheid’s Racial Violence In J.m. Coetzee's Disgrace



Authors : Meddahi Radhia . Braik Fethia .

Abstract

Post-Apartheid was an instable period of transition in the South African history; conflicts between white and black people continued. The repercussions of Apartheid were plausible in socioeconomic challenges, issues of inequality, and reciprocal racial violence. Beneath the weighty legacy of this period, this article emerges with stylistic analysis of specific segments from J.M. Coetzee's Post- Apartheid novel Disgrace. The targeted passages report a violent attack by black men on the white characters David Lurie and his daughter Lucy. The principal goal of this stylistic analysis is pointing at Coetzee’s ability to push the boundaries of language and to unwrap the consequences of Apartheid. The study explores his linguistic choices that manifest Gilles Deleuze's concept of “Stretching the language to its limits”. The writer’s graphic and direct language in the attacking passages is a vehicle for storytelling and also a narrative technique that shows disturbing perspectives. Thus, the study addresses the exploited language in Disgrace that illuminates harsh realities. The abolition of Apartheid did not bring an end to racial violence but made more complicated.
