Title: | Edward Said, V. S. Naipaul and the condition of the exile | Authors: | Matos, Jacinta Maria | Keywords: | Edward Said;V. S. Naipaul;exile;Postcolonial Studies;Edward Said;V. S. Naipaul;exílio;Estudos Pós‑coloniais | Issue Date: | 2017 | Publisher: | Imprensa da Universidade de Coimbra | Journal: | http://hdl.handle.net/10316.2/42307 | Abstract: | The essay focuses on the mutual hostility between two central figures in the field of Postcolonial Studies – Edward Said and V.S. Naipaul – and on their opposing perspectives on the condition of the exile. Interrogating the possible reasons for their well‑documented hatred of each other, the essay investigates what they have in common in terms of origin, background and education, and traces their trajectories to try and explain why each arrived at his particular position on the role of the intellectual in a postcolonial world. O artigo centra‑se na hostilidade mútua entre duas figuras de grande relevância para os Estudos Pós‑coloniais – Edward Said e V. S. Naipaul – e nas perspetivas opostas que cada uma propõe sobre a condição do exílio. Interrogando‑se sobre as razões dessa bem documentada hostilidade, o estudo investiga os pontos em comum entre as duas figuras, em termos de origem, antecedentes familiares e educação, traçando as respetivas trajetórias de vida para explicar como cada uma chegou a uma posição muito própria sobre o papel do intelectual no mundo pós‑colonial. |
