Alienation in Nadine Gordimer's Fiction

Abstract

El objetivo de este ensayo es analizar el contexto de Sudáfrica durante el periodo del régimen de Apartheid y Post-Apartheid en tres situaciones distintas. Aunque las consecuencias fueran las mismas para todas las personas (que son ficticias, por causas de cesura, pero que los eventos narrados son aquellos que realmente se sufrieron o se podían haber sufrido, como en July’s People) éstas van a ser analizadas desde distintos puntos de vista. La palabra clave y objetivo principal de este análisis va a ser ‘Alienación’, como refleja el título de mi proyecto.

The aim of that essay is to analyse the context of South Africa during the Apartheid and Post-Apartheid regime in three different situations. Although the consequences were the same for all these people (who are fictional just because of censorship, the events narrated were what people there really suffered or could have suffered, as in July’s People) they are going to be analysed from different points of view. The key term and main focus of this analysis would be ‘Alienation’, as the title of my project-work reflects.
