Staring at Variations: Concept of 'Self' in Breyten Breytenbach's Mouroir - Mirrornotes of a Novel by Hans-Georg Golz (Paperback, 1995)

The category of the 'self' is central to Breyten Breytenbach's Mouroir. Mirrortes of a Novel. After outlining the circumstances of the emergence of the text the traditional concept of self is contrasted by the changed sense of self that emerged during the author's imprisonment in South Africa. The recurrent feature of fragmentation dominates the formal structure of Mouroir, the scenario of characters, the level of contents and the narrators' points of view. The vel gains a sense of coherence in recurring images and situations. This book offers valid strategies for the reading of invative texts of literary postmodernity. The aesthetics of Mouroir are inseparable from ethics and political commitment in No Man's Land, apartheid South Africa.
