    Representations of fatherhood and paternal narrative power in South African English literature Grant Andrews A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor Philosophiae in the Department of English, University of the Western Cape. Supervisor: Professor Hermann Wittenberg i Representations of fatherhood and paternal narrative power in South African English literature Grant Andrews KEYWORDS Fatherhood Narrative power South African Literature Gender Masculinities Paternalism Patriarchy Post-Apartheid Literature Queer Studies ii Declaration I declare that “Representations of fatherhood and paternal narrative power in South African English literature” is my own work, that is has not been submitted for any degree or examination in any other university, and that all sources I have used or quoted have been indicated and acknowledged by complete references. Name: Grant Andrews Student number: 3380240 Signed: _____________________ Date: iii Abstract This study explores the different ways that South African novels have represented fatherhood across historical periods, from the dawn of apartheid to the post-transitional moment. It is argued that there is a link between narrative power and the father, especially in the way that the father figure is given authority and is central to dominant narratives which support pervasive ideologies. The study introduces the concept of paternal narratives, which are narratives that support the power of the father within patriarchal systems and societies, and which the father is usually given control of. This lens will be applied to prominent South African literature in English, including early texts such as Alan Paton’s Cry, the Beloved Country, Nadine Gordimer’s Burger’s Daughter and J.
