Asserting that Coetzees representation of the body as subject to dismemberment counters the colonial representation of the others body as exotic and erotically-charged, this study inspects the ambivalence pertaining to Coetzees embodied representation of the other and reveals the risks that come with such contrapuntal reiteration. Through the study of the narrative identity of the colonial other and her/his bodys representation, the book also unveils the authors own authorial identity exposed through the repetitive narrative patterns and characterization choices.
