Popis: Written in a context of social and political turbulences, My Son Story puts light on the different occurrences that shaped Apartheid history. In her alight elan to unveil nooks and crannies of the gloomy pages of South African elapsed history, Nadine Gordimer goes deep down in her country’s past to pinpoint ins and outs of a daily harassed and strongly subjugated people to the law of the strongest. Thus, this paper explores and analyses the semantic features of the discourse of resistance, grounding our reflection on the quirks of ethos and subjectivity of a heroic stand. To this end, it gouges out the different communicational assets that have raised the personae of a combatant to the sheer ranks of the heroes of freedom in South Africa.
