dc.description.abstract | This paper will discuss on two of Salman Rushdie’s novel Midnight’s Children and Haroun and
the Sea of Stories. Firstly a brief introduction about postmodernism is given along with how its
ideas clashes with modernism’s doctrines. It will also talk on how the notion of politics and
history is deconstructed by postmodernism, and also on the role memory plays while writing the
historical narratives. Magic realism and oral tradition also plays a role in novels which will also
be covered. Rushdie’s alterations of the English language and how his style inspired new writers
has will also be discussed. The rest of the paper will focus on how Salman Rushdie
delegitimizes politics, language and history and his intentions for using magic realism and oral
tradition in the two novels. | en_US |
