Indijska književnost v angleščini : postkolonialni in ekokritiški pogled v izbranih romanih A. Ghosha, A. Roy, A. Desai in K. Desai

Zver, Katja (author), Matajc, Vanesa (mentor)

Magistrsko delo s perspektive postkolonialne ekokritiške teorije analizira izbrane romane indijske književnosti napisane v angleščini: Cry, the Peacock (1964) Anite Desai, Bog majhnih stvari (The God of Small Things, 1997) Arundhati Roy, Lačna plima (The Hungry Tide, 2004) Amitava Ghosha in Dediščina izgube (The Inheritance of Loss, 2006) Kiran Desai. Pri tem se naslanja na pomembnejše tuje in slovenske teoretike obeh področij, s poudarkom na stičiščih ekokritike in postkolonialnih študij (W. M. Adams, G. Huggan, H. Tiffin, V. Plumwood, A. Crosby, U. Heise in B. Jurša). Kritična presoja družbenih okoliščin se dopolnjuje s poglobljeno raziskavo humanističnega in okoljskega pogleda, še posebej, ko med njima pride do navzkrižja interesov.

Abstract

The master's thesis analyzes selected novels of Indian literature written in english: Anita Desai's Cry, the Peacock (1964) Arundhati Roy's The God of Small Things (1997), Amitav Ghosh's The Hungry Tide (2004) and Kiran Desai's (The Inheritance of Loss, 2006) from the perspective of postcolonial ecocriticism in regard to theorists of both areas, with an emphasis on the intersections of ecocritical and postcolonial studies (W. M. Adams, G. Huggan, H. Tiffin, V. Plumwood, A. Crosby, U. Heise and B. Jurša). A critical assessment of social circumstances is complemented by an in-depth study of the humanistic and environmental aspects, especially when there is a conflict of interest between them.
