Resumen
[ES] Este Trabajo Fin de Máster se centra en la importancia del uso de la literatura durante la era del apartheid en
Sudáfrica para transmitir la realidad de la vida bajo este sistema de segregación racial. Con ese fin, incluirá el análisis
de cinco obras pertenecientes a un género concreto: el relato corto. Esta obra de ficción en prosa ha sido utilizada
con frecuencia por algunos escritores sudafricanos con el fin de alzar la voz contra el régimen del apartheid. Así,
siguiendo un orden cronológico, se estudiarán los siguientes relatos cortos seleccionados: The Death of Masaba de
R.R.R. Dhlomo, Six Feet of the Country de Nadine Gordimer, “The Lemon Orchard” de Alex La Guma, Mrs. Plum de
Ezekiel Mphahlele, and “N2” de Zoë Wicomb. A pesar del uso de la censura para controlar los medios, estos autores
han intentado ilustrar a través de sus obras este régimen implementado por el gobernante Partido Nacional de
Sudáfrica, desde 1948 hasta 1994. Por lo tanto, harán uso del arte para reflejar los impactos que este período de
opresión tuvo en ellos mismos y en su propio país.
