About this book
Seminar paper from the year 2013 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: 1, 0, University of Malta (English Department), course: The Australian Novel (Postcolonial Novel), language: English, abstract: This paper deals with David Malouf's (Australian) novel "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" and particularly with his treatment of spirituality. The term paper begins with an introduction followed by a discussion of the notion 'spirituality', which can be considered in a religious and in a non-religious context. After the definition and discussion of the phenomena 'spirit' and 'spirituality' the paper analyses how David Malouf treats these phenomena, particularly spirituality, in his novel "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" with particular reference to three passages which exemplify his treatment of spirituality. Indeed, spirituality is a recurrent theme in this novel and therefore this paper discusses spirituality in a religious and non-religious sense as well as the spiritual link between the protagonists. Diese Hausarbeit beschĂ€ftigt sich mit David Maloufs australischem Roman "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" und besonders mit seiner Behandlung des PhĂ€nomens SpiritualitĂ€t. Die Hausarbeit beginnt mit einer Einleitung und diskutiert anschlieĂend den Begriff 'Geist' und 'SpiritualitĂ€t', wobei letzterer sowohl in einem religiösen als auch in einem nicht-religiösen Kontext betrachtet werden kann. Danach wird analysiert, wie David Malouf die PhĂ€nomene 'Geist' und 'SpiritualitĂ€t' in seinem Roman "The Conversations at Curlow Creek" behandelt. Dabei wird besonders auf drei Passagen Bezug genommen, die seine differenzierte Behandlung des PhĂ€nomens 'SpiritualitĂ€t' verdeutlichen und veranschaulichen. TatsĂ€chlich ist SpiritualitĂ€t in Maloufs Roman durchgĂ€ngig ein Thema, worauf immer wieder Bezug genommen oder angespielt wird, da es eng mit der Thematik - dem Kampf zwischen Leben, Mord und Tod - verbunden ist. Deshalb diskutiert und analysiert diese Arbeit SpiritualitĂ€t in einem religiösen sowie einem nicht-religiösen Kontext und analysiert auch die spitituelle Verbindung zwischen den beiden Protagonisten.
