摘要

It intends to explore the roles earth plays in Michael K’s passive resistance against the patriarchal authority.Inspired by Homi Bhabha’s concept of“unhomeliness”,it illustrates how earth gives K the sense of homeliness.As the female is closely connected to earth,it also explains how earth helps K get free from the patriarchal wars.By portraying a deformed colored K,Coetzee expresses that the disadvantaged and inferior could resort to mother earth to get freedom and dignity.The female features of protection and nurture are crucial to help the discriminated groups to resist the patriarchal authority.
