dc.description.abstractIn my thesis I will build on some basic ideas of post-colonial theorists (Edward Said and Homi Bhabha) about traditional white British identity and its reflections in their colonies. But first I have to mention the American sociologist W. E. B. Du Bois as a starting point. He was the first who defined the struggles of divided identity of African Americans in his book The Souls of Black Folk ( Du Bois 8) in 1903 and coined the term “double-consciousness”. His idea was challenged and improved by the Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin who claimed in his essay “Discourse in the Novel” that all identities are constructed from several sources and suggested that dialects can represent this complexity. (What is more, it is only the dialects recorded in literature that can represent identity as such.) In his essay this idea is supported by a story about a peasant who uses several different “languages” according to his purposes and the target audience. Bakhtin studied, among other writers, Dostoyevski’s novels with a special attention to Crime and Punishment in order to verify his theory. He claimed that the voice of Raskolnikov reflected not only him but several other people with whom he is connected.hu_HU
