Abstract:
The 2007 Nobel literature laureate Doris Lessing (1919-2013) is one of the twentieth century’s most prolific and versatile British writers. Her literary career is marked by the robustness and diversity of her ideas. The plurality of voices in her work makes room for discovering a very different Lessing from how she is usually construed and for discussing some of her views in a new and somewhat unusual light. In this study, I intend to look at her thoughts on education, literature, racism, and women’s rights and locate possible commonalities between them and certain facets of Islamic thought. As she is considered a humanist, a secular writer of great stature, the “grande dame” of British writing of her time, and handlesexplicit sexual relationships, a sense of remoteness and incomprehension is perhaps palpable in any attempt to discover an “Islamic Doris Lessing.” However, given that she is known for her courage and outspokenness, as well as for making unconventional moves and iconoclastic statements sometimes at the expense of her literary reputation, it will be interesting to see her ideas from an Islamic perspective.

Abstract:
In this thesis, I will be examining selective works by the novelist Doris Lessing. The aim of the thesis is to examine Lessing’s oeuvre by approaching her fiction as an attempt to understand the subject as an effect of intersubjectivity. The thesis approaches the question of intersubjectivity through a broadly psychoanalytic framework, not only engaging with Lessing’s own particular interests in psychoanalysis, but also standing back and reframing her work through approaches to intersubjectivity available in work by Freud and Jung, Klein, and object relational and existential dynamic psychologies. The thesis will, throughout, endeavour to situate psychoanalytic approaches in specifically historical and political contexts, also drawing on phenomenology to examine Lessing’s depiction of a transcendental mode of experience which is reached through an ongoing evolutionary consciousness. Her dialectical positioning of the subject reveals a restless struggle towards a conciliation between self and others. The thesis reflects a trajectory of Lessing’s work from her earlier African novels to later writing, The Fifth Child and Ben, in the World. The thesis begins by examining the structure of the family and mother-daughter relationships in the context of the historically specific political milieu of post-war apartheid in South Africa; it ends by examining the question of the availability of an ethics of care in Thatcherite Britain as reflected in the Ben novels. Melanie Klein’s work and the later object-relations theory influenced by it, are adopted to provide a frame through which to try to illuminate Lessing’s concern with the possibility of motivating positive interactions between self and others, and as an alternative to the tragic liberal view of the self as an anxious isolate proposed by Freud. In each chapter, the thesis focuses on the variety of Lessing’s formal experiments in her attempt to develop a late ethics of care built on a foundation of intersubjectivity. This emergent vision of the self opens up the possibility of reconstituting new modes of interaction between the self and the outer world: Lessing uses her fictional worlds to posit visionary possibilities in the world outside the fiction. Often employing critical modes of the Utopian and Apocalyptic, Lessing envisions the possibility of a new and fluid community that is constituted on the foundation of a revised albeit fragile ethics of care. Her fiction suggests that the power of creation and imagination necessary to realise such a vision belongs not only to the artist, but is also available for development in the psychosocial journey towards a new democratic subjectivity that might realise a new public order.

Full text
Abstract:
L'oeuvre africaine de doris lessing constitue une etape importante de sa production litteraire. Elle s'inspire des trente premieres annees que l'auteur a passees en rhodesie du sud. Les principaux livres auxquels cette etude fait allusion sont les quatre premiers tomes des "enfants de la violence", les nouvvelles africaines, vaincue par la brousse, going home, in pursuit of the english. Les articles ecrits par l'auteur sur la rhodesie font egalement partie des sources sur lesquelles est basee cette analyse. Tous ces ouvrages ont pour cadre l'afrique du sud. Les themes et les mythes developpes par lessing y sont analyses car le fond revet une importance plus grande que la forme dans l'oeuvre africaine de lessing. La premiere partie de notre etude parle des mythes sur lesquels est fondee la societe sud-africaine. La comparaison entre les frontieres americaine et sud-africaine revele les analogies mais aussi les differences en tre l'univers des pionniers americains et celui des pionniers sud-africains. Le deuxieme chapitre traite plus particulierement de l'influence de la nature sud-africaine sur les personnages de lessing. Le paradoxe reside dans l'attrait et la repulsion qu'exerce le veld sur les sud-africains blancs selon qu'il symbolise l'evasion ou la frustration. Le point fort de cette analyse est enfin l'etude du probleme de l'alienation dans l'oeuvre africaine de lessing. Les blancs refusent de s'adapter a leurs nouvelles conditions de vie avec l'illusion de pouvoir retourner en angleterre. Les noirs subissent l'oppression de la communaute blanche et deviennent des etrangers sur leur propre sol. Le lecteur apprend, a travers la lecture de l'oeuvre africaine de lessing a confronter les personnages qu'elle met en scene a sa propre realite
Doris lessing's african fiction is an important step in her literary production. It is influenced by the thirty years she spent in south rhodesia. The main novels this study deals with are the first four books of "children of violence". The collected african stories, the grass is singing, going home, in pursuit of the english, lessing wrote some essays about rhodesia which are reported in this study. The characteristic of this fiction is that it is set in south africa. The myths and themes are indeed more important than the analysis of form in lessing's fiction. The south-african society is based on many myths. The american and the south-african frontier have some points in common but are quite different. The second part is about the influence of nature on lessing's characters. It is at the same time the symbol of freedom and of frustration. But the main point is lessing's dealing with alienation. The white south-africans don't want to adapt themselves to their new home and go on living with the illusion of returning to great britain. The black people on the other hand are the victims of white oppression and become more and more separated from their mother-country. Through doris lessing's fiction, the reader can compare the characters' world to the world he lives in

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 166-180.
The central characters in Doris Lessing's novels are usually women struggling to shape for themselves a new and authentic identity in a changing world. In this study it is argued that this quest involves the Lessing character in a conflict less with any man than with another woman. This woman is the mother. The younger woman's task is to resist the compulsion to become like her mother and so lead a narrow, entirely domesticated life. The theme of the mother-daughter conflict is given its first extensive examination in this study. Three of Lessing's works are analysed in detail, while brief reference is made to nearly all of her novels and some African short stories. The three works selected, The Grass is Singing (1950), "To Room Nineteen" (1963), and The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four, and Five (1980), mark the beginning, an approximate mid-point, and the conclusion of the theme under discussion. They are also works that have not, as yet, enjoyed the exhaustive critical attention given to the Children of Violence series and The Golden Notebook.
