| 英文摘要 | In Nadine Gordimer's The Pickup, Julie Summers follows the man she loves to his homeland, an unnamed desert country; leaves her comfortable cosmopolitan life behind; and finds a sense of place. Although the text superficially presents a simple love story its narrative tone undermines Julie's quest and troubles her easy adoption of a new home. This article draws on South African ecocritical and postcolonial approaches to explore the ways in which Julie's privilege informs her relationship with her environments. Namely, this article is interested in showing how the novel subtly questions whether a return to the land is possible in a context of legacies of apartheid and realities of globalisation in which land is never neutral (if it ever was). The Pickup is framed by questions of citizenship tied to place and presents a critique of the restorative power of the pastoral. |
