A Psychoanalytical Reading of Gordimer's Loot:A Lacanian Perspective abstract
The Lacanian reading of a literary text can be one of the infinite numbers of possibilities opened to the reader and the critic. The present study aims at a new reading of Loot, a very short story by the contemporary South African writer Nadine Gordimer, by employing the theories of Jacques Lacan, the French psychoanalyst. Using Lacan’s theories of the structure of the mind and its division into three stages of the Real, the Imaginary and the Symbolic, this reading intends to interpret the protagonist’s behavior and reactions in different situations of life. The aim is to find out how the human quests, desires and losses are the results of the unconscious tensions between the different psychic orders. The story of the narrator within Loot is the representation of this quest for self recognition
