초록
This paper seeks to demonstrate 'a discourse of others' in Alice Munro's Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage. A discussion of Others has proved useful in the anti-foundationalist movements of poststructualism, postcolonialism, postmodernism, and feminism. In those disciplines, the discourse is socially and historically rooted in the false dichotomy of the binary structure and construction of dualism. In this case, the concept of ‘others’ is concerned with aspects of inferiority - those of whom are marginalized by racism and/or their gender in a social and cultural context. Critics argue that the enthusiastically feminist and post-colonial readings tend to ignore the formal characteristics of Munro’s stories, thus characterizing her writing as ‘genre-blind’. As a short fiction writer, Munro, positioning herself in the world of minor literature, is free from mainstream or other contemporary issues. Her writings are not embodied in, or by, great causes and important social issues, but in the ordinary lives of middle class people. Likewise, the discourses of others in her works are also different from ones of the mainstream. Munro’s ‘others’ for example, like ageing, can be ‘everybody’ when the person or people in question happen to experience alienation and are thus excluded. Munro's story requires the reader to understand the discourse of others as one and everybody's own discourse, therefore, it is possible to view her approach to those discourses as individually, psychologically, and socially delicate.
Abstract
This paper seeks to demonstrate 'a discourse of others' in Alice Munro's Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage. A discussion of Others has proved useful in the anti-foundationalist movements of poststructualism, postcolonialism, postmodernism, and feminism. In those disciplines, the discourse is socially and historically rooted in the false dichotomy of the binary structure and construction of dualism. In this case, the concept of ‘others’ is concerned with aspects of inferiority - those of whom are marginalized by racism and/or their gender in a social and cultural context. Critics argue that the enthusiastically feminist and post-colonial readings tend to ignore the formal characteristics of Munro’s stories, thus characterizing her writing as ‘genre-blind’. As a short fiction writer, Munro, positioning herself in the world of minor literature, is free from mainstream or other contemporary issues. Her writings are not embodied in, or by, great causes and important social issues, but in the ordinary lives of middle class people. Likewise, the discourses of others in her works are also different from ones of the mainstream. Munro’s ‘others’ for example, like ageing, can be ‘everybody’ when the person or people in question happen to experience alienation and are thus excluded. Munro's story requires the reader to understand the discourse of others as one and everybody's own discourse, therefore, it is possible to view her approach to those discourses as individually, psychologically, and socially delicate.
