ABSTRACT:
In his fiction, contemporary Australian author Richard Flannagan often uses postmodern narrative techniques to interrogate the relationship between the self and the other extended to the relationship between the colonizer and the colonized, the center and the margin as well as between traditional mimetic and postmodern experimental modes of representation, such as the expression of different visions of the world.
In my paper I will analyze border zones expressed by various forms of representation (realistic, fantastic, metafictional) used in Flannagan´s novel Death of a River Guide as the expression of the above relationships between the center and periphery, between the self and the other, the colonizer and the colonized as well as between various forms of representation implying these relationships. |
