摘要：

In Foe by focusing on the characters like Friday and Susan Barton, Coetzee challenges colonial authority as well as patriarchal ideology. Just as Friday is disciplined on racial grounds, Susan is silenced as a woman pushed outside the canon of male authorship. However the agent of disciplinary power shifts when Friday and Susan respectively resist colonialist and patriarchal ideologies. By virtue of Foucault’s concept of disciplinary power, this article aims to exhume Coetzee’s critique of Western totalizing narratives and patriarchal ideology.
