Subversion Ou Conformisme ?: La Différence Des Sexes Dans l'Oeuvre d'Agota Kristof
ISBN: 9783034317139 / Angielski / Miękka / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. Cet ouvrage propose une etude de la question du genre dans l uvre d Agota Kristof, ecrivaine suisse francophone d origine hongroise. La preponderance des narrateurs masculins dans sa prose suggere la superiorite du masculin; ceci se reflete aussi sur le plan du contenu de son uvre, car les personnages feminins sont plutot marginalises et relegues a la sphere domestique. Neanmoins, les themes de la violence contre les femmes, de leur folie et de la prostitution demontrent un souci de presenter leur condition dans la societe. Pour elucider cette contradiction, l analyse detaillee des textes...
