Translated title:
Us and the Others in Dido Sotiriou's Novels
Summary:
The subject of the current study is the way in which the Other is depicted throughout the novels of Dido Sotiriou, and in particular: [The dead are waiting], Farewell Anatolia, [Command] and [Demolished]. Sotiriou's novels are permeated with a timeless message, focusing on humanity. Issues pertaining to coexistence, isolation from or participation in society are always raised; therefore there always exists a differentiation between “Us” and the “Others”. This dissertation examines the question of the ways in which the Other, in terms of either nationality or ideology, is outlined in the world of Dido Sotiriou’s novels. A world created by memory – both individual and collective – by History along with the writer’s ideology. For Dido Sotiriou, the opponents are never people of a different nationality, but capitalism and imperialism; social and economic inequalities.
