- Title
History, Obstinacy, and the Historical Novel: Antonio Di Benedetto's Zama.
- Authors
Johnson, Matt
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "Zama," by Antonio Di Benedetto is presented. It explores how the American-born colonial functionary named Diego de Zama, who is the novel's narrator and protagonist, narrates the formal conventions of aesthetic modernism. It analyzes the affinities between Di Benedetto's novelistic representation of history and the core ideas expressed by German theorists Alexander Kluge and Oskar Negt in their book "History and Obstinacy."
