Produktbeschreibung

This book explores the significance of corporeality in literature through a South-South comparison of the works of Colombian author Gabriel García Márquez and Congolese author Sony Labou Tansi. It argues that the body constitutes a basic trope not only in imagining postcolonial power relations but also our (non) being-in-the-world. Organized thematically, the chapters compare these authors  novels in relation to the dehumanised body, bodies of war, the dead body, the body in relation to bureaucracy, and the dictator s body. It taps into the growing critical interest in bringing Latin American and African literatures into conversation.
