Boyhood: scenes from provincial life, John Maxwell Coetzee, memory, narrativeAbstract
This work seeks to point to a reading that allows a dialogue with the aspects of South African society present in the work Boyhood: Scenes from Provincial Life of John Maxwell Coetzee. From the way the events were organized and exposed in the narrative, we emphasize the construction of memory as a base element of this writing, and we propose to analyze some spare points from the threads that tie up the past events. Gender and race were two highlighted markers for the search for understanding the world look that a character has to build his own world, in part coinciding with the author’s life. This exercise guides us on sociocultural paths found in times lived, remembered, and recorded.
