This essay is centered on the figure of Magda, the well-known female protagonist of J.M. Coetzee's novel "In the Heart of the Country", and, more precisely, on her ex-centricity, or - what I call here and will explain later - her economy of madness, both as producer of her own textuality and as a character in the film "Dust", by the Belgian film director Marion Hansel.

Abstract

This essay is centered on the figure of Magda, the well-known female protagonist of J.M. Coetzee's novel "In the Heart of the Country", and, more precisely, on her ex-centricity, or - what I call here and will explain later - her economy of madness, both as producer of her own textuality and as a character in the film "Dust", by the Belgian film director Marion Hansel.
