Re-reading Rudyard Kipling's "Kim". A Postcolonial Approach

Beschreibung

Seminar paper from the year 2015 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, , language: English, abstract: Rudyard Kipling's confident championing of imperialism seems to be lacking in documentation of the resistances to colonialism in India, as well as a representation of India as it was at that point of time. It has been argued here that Kipling's India, especially in Kim is true to the spirit of the Orientalists, not India. After a symptomatic reading of this signs in Kim, the paper takes stock of the trajectory of Kim/Kipling criticism within the postcolonial field.
