In this important new study, Hamilton establishes and develops
innovative links between the sites of postcolonial literary theory,
the fiction of the South African/Australian academic and Nobel
Prize-winning writer J.M. Coetzee, and the work of the French
poststructuralist philosopher Gilles Deleuze. Centering on the key
postcolonial problematic of representation, Hamilton argues that if
one approaches the colonial subject through Gilles Deleuze's
rewriting of subjectivity, then a transcendent configuration of the
colonial subject is revealed. Importantly, it is this rendition of
the colonial subject that accounts best for the way in which the
colonial subject is able to propose and offer instances of
resistance to colonial structures of subjectification. In
elucidating this claim, the study turns to the fiction of Coetzee.
Offering unique Deleuzean readings of three of Coetzee's most
theoretically beguiling novels - Dusklands, Waiting for the
Barbarians, and Foe - On Representation will prove to be essential
reading to those interested in Coetzee studies, the literary
terrain of Deleuze's philosophy, and those engaging with
contemporary debates in postcolonial literature and theory.
