Kensuke Regenerates Crusoe’s Utopia In Micheal Morpurgo’s Kensuke’s Kingdom (2012)
Authors : Lameche Zohra .
Abstract
Abstract: For ages, the discourse between the West and the Rest has been one of superiority and dominance of the former over the latter. Recently, this discourse has been challenged; the Other is gaining a new status vis a vis the Self. The present paper, through the analysis of Michael Morpurgo’s Kensuke’s Kingdom (2012), investigates the ways in which contemporary writers and thinkers envisage the relation between the Self and the Other. Basing my analysis on Stuart Hall’s theory which implies that meaning is always in a continuous change, I argue in the present paper that the representation of the Self and the Other has acquired a new meaning by the beginning of the twenty-first century. Hence, I intend to show that Michael this novel can be read within the context of the twenty-first century’s prevailing ideology that advocates tolerance and acceptance of the Other.
