The Image of “Foreigner” in George Sari’s Autobiographical Fictional Characters

Abstract

Abstract:This article focuses on George Sari’s works and how she presents multicultural and diverse characters in connection to the place and time they are put in. The cultural representations in the texts are explored using imagology, which studies “the origin and function of characteristics of other countries and peoples, as expressed textually, particularly in the way in which they are presented in works of literature” (Beller). The narration method (Genette theory) is also employed to make out the writer’s choices when she compiled the characters with the intention of projecting a specific ideology in connection to their multicultural aspects.
