Hibridnost in mimikrija v romanu Posnemovalci avtorja V. S. Naipaula : diplomsko delo = Hybridity and mimicry in V. S. Naipaul's The mimic men : graduation thesis
Zagorc, Tatjana, 1967-
This graduation thesis explores the themes of hybridity and mimicry in V. S. Naipaul's novel The Mimic Men within the categories of displacement, race, identity, culture, and religion. During ...colonialism, different cultures in contact affecting each other became hybridized. Hybridity was comprehended as various abhorrent discriminatory practices of the colonial rule, which were implemented in order to fortify the superiority of the West and to preserve the notions of a hierarchy of cultures. One of the strategies was creation of mimic men, who while mimicking English manners, morals and values would still be in a less worthy position because of their origin. However, mimicry carries its doubleness seen as a form of social control as well as a doubt in presented reality and represents a turning-point, a threat to authenticity, uniqueness and supremacy of colonizer and dominant culture. The novel mirrors the influence of the colonial rule on the formation of the protagonist's hybrid identity and his mimicry.
