A Postcolonial Reading of the Gothic Novel: Case Study of Bram Stoker’s Dracula / Meriem Ayech Hamraoui
Titre : A Postcolonial Reading of the Gothic Novel: Case Study of Bram Stoker’s Dracula Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Meriem Ayech Hamraoui, Auteur Editeur : Tlemcen : University Aboubakr Belkaid Importance : 62 p. Format : 21*27 cm. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : Colonialism and literature can be said to work hand in hand, one providing material to
write about and the other providing purpose and justification to the other’s existence. This
dissertation aims at analysing the famous gothic novel Dracula by Bram Stocker,
following a postcolonial theory and approach. It attempts to examine the many themes it
conveys in order to discover its relevance to the postcolonial discourse. The first chapter
of this extended essay tackles postcolonialism and the postcolonial theory, in which the
latter focuses on notions such as hybridity and alienation. It also comprises the concept of
Orientalism along with issues of identity and the other, as well as representation and
stereotypes. Moreover, this chapter is also concerned with Travel Journals, and the
techniques used within these literary artefacts such as narration, symbolism, and
intertextuality. In the second chapter, those elements are fetched and analysed within the
novel, to reach a rational result of this novel’s stance concerning the colonial discourse.
Henceforward, a postcolonial study is applied on the novel, its characters, settings and
techniques utilized by the author. Respectively, the novel is found to convey a clear
postcolonial discourse, however, not in the usual sense of the term, instead; it is the
colonial entity which is being conquered by the inferior other, an ‘other’ which is akin to
an immigrant.
