Abstract
ABSTRACT This article considers the temporality of J. M. Coetzee’s Foe (1986) for what it suggests about the demands of authorship and copyright in the postcolonial present. By close reading the novel alongside some salient commentaries and intertexts, we attend to the interval between the postcolonial novel and its early modern predecessor Robinson Crusoe (1719), and suggest how the works could be so reread as to displace the limits of proprietary authorship.
期刊介绍：
Law and Humanities is a peer-reviewed journal, providing a forum for scholarly discourse within the arts and humanities around the subject of law. For this purpose, the arts and humanities disciplines are taken to include literature, history (including history of art), philosophy, theology, classics and the whole spectrum of performance and representational arts. The remit of the journal does not extend to consideration of the laws that regulate practical aspects of the arts and humanities (such as the law of intellectual property). Law and Humanities is principally concerned to engage with those aspects of human experience which are not empirically quantifiable or scientifically predictable. Each issue will carry four or five major articles of between 8,000 and 12,000 words each. The journal will also carry shorter papers (up to 4,000 words) sharing good practice in law and humanities education; reports of conferences; reviews of books, exhibitions, plays, concerts and other artistic publications.
