A Comparative Study of Robinson Crusoe and Foe
Journal of Foreign Languages, Cultures and Civilizations December 2020, Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 20-24 ISSN 2333-5882 (Print) 2333-5890 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jflcc.v8n2a3 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jflcc.v8n2a3 His-Story and Her-Story: A Comparative Study of Robinson Crusoe and Foe Dr. Shakira Khatoon1, Prof. M. Asim Siddiqui2 & Prof. Nazia Hasan3 Abstract History is often said to be his-story owing to it being exclusively written by men about men. It consists of heroic as well as tragic tales of men, heroic and tragic both terms being exploited by Aristotle in the context of men again. Literature of any nation or language is also History per se as it reflects the ethos of the time in which it is created, and can also be called His-story because of dominant presence of male voices on the literary horizon for centuries. It is only after the surge of movements and theories like Feminism and Postcolonialism, that Her-story started to surface up in literary works. Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe (first published in 1719) and Foe by J. M. Coetzee (rewriting of Robinson Crusoe, first published in 1986) are the two works showcasing this transition in focus from His-story to Her-story. Whereas one tells the story of a male castaway Robinson Crusoe who turns out to be a powerful, colonial patriarch, completely avoiding the existence of woman; the other tells the story of Susan Barton, a female castaway introduced by Coetzee into the world of Crusoe (Cruso here). -

James, Isaac. Providence Displayed: or, The Remarkable Adventures of Alexander Selkirk. London, 1800. 148-55. The Celebrity of Robinson Crusoe appears to have arisen from two Causes; the affecting Situation in which he is placed, and the lively Fancy of De Foe in delineating the peculiar Difficulties with which it is attended. On the first of these alone, depends the Success of the following Sheets; my Design being to relate nothing but absolute Facts, for which I shall bring my Authorities. Being thus limited, although the Narrative may be less entertaining, it will be valuable, in the same proportion as Truth is preferable to Fiction. I shall, however, be able to exhibit the interesting Circumstances of such a seclusion from the World, in a variety of points of view, by giving not only Mr Selkirk's Adventures, but those of several others, most of whom were by a singular concurrence of causes, left upon the same Island. Their History will be related in order of time, after a general Description of the Theatre of their Adventures : in doing which, it will appear that Sir Richard Steele was mistaken in saying, ‘I do not think it foreign to my Design, to speak of a Man born in her Majesty's Dominions, and relate an Adventure in his Life so uncommon, that it's doubtful whether the like has happened to any other of human Race.’* Perhaps Selkirk's History, which is universally allowed to be the Ground-work of Robinson Crusoe, is the most remarkable, but the Instances I have to produce, are similar and authentic, and not foreign to my general Purpose. -

Trading Rabbit Ears for Wi-Fi: Aereo, the Public Performance Right, and How Broadcasters Want to Control the Business of Internet TV ABSTRACT Aereo, a start-up company that allows consumers to stream free, over-the-air broadcasts to their phones and computers, seems rather innocuous. Yet the major broadcasting networks have attempted to shut Aereo down since its inception, claiming that Aereo infringes on their copyright. Aereo claims that its unique technology-where each user is assigned their own, individual antenna-ensures that Aereo does not infringe on the broadcasters'publicperformance rights. The United States Supreme Court has granted certiorarion the matter. -
The Theatrical Adaptations of JM Coetzee's Foe Kareesha
Between Text and Stage: The Theatrical Adaptations of J.M. Coetzee's Foe Kareesha Naidoo Supervisor: Dr. Hermann Wittenberg A thesis produced as per the requirements of The University of the Western Cape, Department of English for the completion of a M.A. Degree (Full Thesis). March 2016 Abstract Between Text and Stage: The Theatrical Adaptations of J.M. Coetzee's Foe K.Naidoo MA Full thesis, Department of English, University of the Western Cape This thesis will critically analyse two theatrical adaptations of J.M Coetzee‟s Foe (1986). Primarily, this thesis will be seeking to understand the complex relationship of the primary text to its adaptations more closely, regarding them not only as second-order versions or interpretations of the novel, but also to consider the way they may retrospectively construct new readings and understandings of the source text. This thesis will not only consider the way in which Foe is used in the adaptations but also how Robinson Crusoe (1719) influenced the adaptors and adaptive process. Theories of adaptation will be discussed, drawing extensively on work by Linda Hutcheon (2006) and Robert Stam (2005). One of the key ideas in adaptation theory is that adaptive fidelity to the source text is neither possible nor desirable, but that adaptation is a more complex, multi-layered intertextual and intermedial interplay of fictional material. One of the aims of this thesis is to ask whether or not Foe can be successfully transposed to the stage. This thesis will serve as a close analysis of the two theatrical adaptations, focusing on the beginning and endings of the respective adaptations. -
“Castaways in the Very Heart of the City” ] ————————————————— Island and Metropolis in J.M
“Castaways in the Very Heart of the City” ] ————————————————— Island and Metropolis in J.M. Coetzee’s Foe MARION FRIES–DIECKMANN Topography and the narrative HE MOST STRIKING DIFFERENCE between Daniel Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe (1719) and its postmodern retelling Foe (1986) by T J.M. Coetzee is the female first-person narrator and protagonist Susan Barton, who is marooned on the island. There she meets Cruso – who obviously had suffered the same fate as her years before – and his servant Friday. In contrast to their literary predecessor, Coetzee’s Cruso is a rather inert atheist, and Coetzee’s Friday an obedient but uncommitted servant. The fourth important character in Coetzee’s novel is the writer Daniel Foe, whom Susan Barton turns to, after her rescue from the island, as soon as she is back in London. She wants him to write her story of the island. Yet there are a number of obstacles she is faced with, and thus the ‘writability’ of her story becomes the central topic of the novel. The key to her story is Friday, whom she takes back with her after Cruso’s death on the island. He does not – or cannot – speak, owing to an alleged mutilation of the tongue. Thus, he repre- sents a “hole in the narrative”1 throughout the novel. As a result, Susan’s story remains untold and unwritten. The reader gains the impression that Susan’s story is the Urtext of Robinson Crusoe,2 as Susan and Foe discuss precisely those modifications which would bring Susan’s story and Defoe’s novel in line. -

Leibniz on Contingency and Freedom: a Molinism Friendly Account
Leibniz on Contingency and Freedom: A Molinism Friendly Account Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Juan Garcia, MA Graduate Program in Philosophy The Ohio State University 2018 Dissertation Committee: Tamar Rudavsky, Advisor Julia Jorati, Advisor Lisa Downing William Taschek © 2018 by Juan Garcia All rights reserved. Abstract: Some philosophical ideas, like metals, reveal their most interesting qualities when stretched. As I see it, the intelligibility and plausibility of the concept of contingency, as a condition for freedom, is stretched significantly by three of Leibniz’s major philosophical commitments: i) a robust version of the principle of sufficient reason; ii) strong theological commitments like divine foreknowledge and robust providence; and iii) Leibniz’s distinctive thesis of complete individual concepts – the doctrine that every substance has an individual concept which includes predicates denoting everything that will ever happen to it. Many interpreters think that these Leibnizian commitments stretch contingency to the breaking point: Leibniz cannot retain a genuine type of contingency. In this dissertation, I argue that these interpreters are mistaken and that Leibniz can accommodate a plausible type of contingency. Two important steps in reaching this conclusion are the following. First, I identify a kind of explanation of rational action according to which the explanans does not necessitate the explanandum. Second, I develop an account that makes sense of individual concepts including contingent truths as contingent. This account both sheds new light on some of Leibniz’s central views on contingency and freedom, and expands our substantive understanding of contingency as a condition for freedom. -
Fiction As Foe: the Novels of J.M. Coetzee Derek Wright, N. T
Fiction as Foe: The Novels of J.M. Coetzee Derek Wright, N. T. University, Darwin, Australia The settings of J.M. Coetzee's five novels are, at first glance, unusual for a contemporary South-African writer.1 They are, respectively, the United States, undefined parts of the South-African hinterland of the eighteenth and nine teenth centuries, the frontier of an unnamed country on "the roof of the world," a war-ravaged Cape Town and Karoo of the future, and the fictional-cum- metafictional territory of the Robinson Crusoe fable. In fact, each of the novels is, not surprisingly, a fictional extrapolation from South Africa's current histori cal crisis. In these fictional projections, however, the very fictional properties of myth, ideology, and history—and finally fiction itself—are themselves targeted as a principal source of hostility to human values in the colonial context. Coetzee's first experiment in damaging and deranged fictions, Dusklands (1974), couples two megalomaniacal narratives. The first, 'The Vietnam Pro ject," is that of Eugene Dawn, a "mythographer" employed by the American military in a Californian research station to explore the potential of radio broadcasting for psychological warfare against Vietnam. The second, 'The Narrative of Jacobus Coetzee," purports to be a translation of an eighteenth- century frontier narrative of a brutal punitive expedition against the Namaqua Bushmen. The first is, by implication, a modern version of the colonial frontier narrative insofar as the American occupation of Vietnam is a continuation of the processes of Western imperialism, and both men are revealed to be para noid victims of the colonial mentality.
