Die desentralisasie van die subjek : 'n post-strukturalistiese beskouing van Breytan Breytenbach se Die Ysterkoei moet sweet en ("YK")

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The study attempts to indicate how frames of reading which presuppose a definable subject and a hierarchy of real poet and poem are problematized and transgressed by the Breytenbach texts. How these texts confront the normative, predetermined and rigid definitions of the subject and subject positions is one of the challenges faced in this work. It is argued that the texts under scrutiny depict literature as a terrain where stereotypical social codes are destroyed and recreated and where the symbolic order is challenged.
