POSTMODERN SLAVE NARRATIVERošer, Nina (Avtor) Kennedy, Victor (Mentor) SlaveryAfrican American LiteratureSlave NarrativeNeo-slave NarrativeToni MorrisonBelovedDjango UnchainedThe aim of this diploma is to show the development and characteristics of slave narratives by analysing the novel Beloved by Toni Morrison and Quentin Tarantino’s film Django Unchained. The aim is also to show the impact that African-American history (particularly slavery) has had on African American literature. Slavery is one of the main themes of African American writers, particularly in the 18th century; however, it is also an important subject of modern literature and writers. One of those is Toni Morrison, who is a literary voice of slave literature and whose work seeks to shed a light on the problems of African American people. For this purpose the novel Beloved is discussed. The book is a narration of the traumatic experience of slavery. In the same way, directors try to keep the memory of slavery alive in their films. One of those is Quentin Tarantino, who directed the latest film about slavery Django Unchained. [N. Rošer]20132013-06-06 10:41:34Diplomsko delo40663sl
