Noyes demonstrates the agency of literature in the structuring of
colonial space using a series of colonial texts from German South
West Africa in the period 1884-1915. The social production of space
in colonialization is achieved through establishing and
manipulating boundaries. The production of space is itself an
ordering process, and as such, a process of civilization. However,
the detailed analysis of the colonial discourse reveals how
colonial texts can be used to counter their author's claims to
universal truth and a civilizing mission.
Drawing upon recent work by Lacan, Deleuze and Guattari, Derrida
and Foucault, as well as current debate on colonial discourse,
Noyes explores the concept of spatiality as constructed under the
conditions of colonialization.
