A Bakhtinian Dialogic Study of the Voice of Friday in J. M. Coetzee’s Foe
Abstract
The paper studies the dialogic features of the tongueless of Friday in Foe as a non-westerner in postmodern and postcolonial context from Bakhtinian dialogism to expose hegemony in Robinson Crusoe. The real cause of silence of Friday originated from colonial writing and western discourse instead of his body. Otherwise, only the body as an existence can disclose and speak.
