1 ‘Left Right Left’ : Plasticity, Affect, and Self-shaping Orientations in J M Coetzee’s Slow Man Soham Chakraborty , Avishek Parui , 2024 single work criticism
— Appears in: Current Writing : Text and Reception in Southern Africa , vol. 36 no. 1 2024; (p. 40-48) 'This article examines Coetzee’s (Citation2005) novel Slow Man through the neuro-philosophical lenses of plasticity and affect theory. The aim is to arrive at an understanding of the role reflexivity and emotions play in decision-making and how such decisions emerge through affective orientations to shape the self. Coetzee’s novel, accordingly, eschews the metaphysical understanding of the self as totalising or transcendental, and instead focuses on how our selves are episodically shaped by our (re)orientations in the world.' (Publication abstract)
