| Résumé : |
This modest work investigates the ramifications of fragmentation and the loss of identity
as postmodern and postcolonial themes/techniques in Salman Rushdie’s masterpiece
Midnight’s Children. It attempts to shed light on post-independent India by demonstrating
how Salman Rushdie’s fragmented homeland is depicted in his novel. To this aim,
investigating the historical background of postcolonial independent India and its partition into
three states: India, Pakistan and Bangladesh from 1917 to 1977 is deemed crucial to capture
Rushdie’s fictional reworking of history. Fragmentation in this novel is not pictured only as a
postcolonial theme but also as a psychological state of mind since it pervaded the characters’
psyches. The postcolonial selves are in this context also perceived as divided and fragmented.
This research similarly tackles the non-linearity of plot or fragmented narration which is
considered as both an innovative technique in modern/postmodern literature and a
postcolonial theme by demonstrating India’s partition into pieces/ three regions. India’s
partition is personified by Saleem Sinai’s birth story Midnight’s Children’s protagonist and
Salman’s chief narrative voice. Parallel to India’s fragmented status, Saleem’s fragmented life
will also be analyzed. Midnight’s Children will be studied as a postmodern and postcolonial
piece in which the notion of fragmentation is brought to an intricate level and which is
apparent in characters, objects, relationships, language, narration and the setting |
