Sula as the Uncanny and the Evocation of the Other

By Imad Guemmah

Essay from the year 2010 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, Mohamed I University, course: Extensive Reading, language: English, abstract: This paper aims at exploring the dichotomy of self and other, and what each of these actually mean. I would begin with a general presentation of the major points that mark the novel. Then, I shall shift to philosophical explanations of self and other based on two critical angles: androcentrism (i.e. David Hume, Emanuel Kant and Durkheim) and feminism (i.e. Julia Kristeva and Simone de Beauvoir). I am eventually positioning the debate on the narrative platform, as being an arena of tension between central self and peripheral other.
