Micro-politics is the basic principle that Gordimer challenges the apartheid system.In her eyes,South Africa's daily life and culture are politicized.She looks at the political reality of South Africa from a micro-political perspective and tries to explore hidden power relations.A repressed personal experience."My Son's Story" is a novel that is more mature and more mature than Gordy's early novels.It reflects the writer's "self-reflection" consciousness in his ideological content.In the novel,Gordimer created the ideal individual and family with the South African revolutionary paradigm.Through micro-political practice,she showed her thoughts on South Africa's liberation strategy and South Africa's future historical consciousness and cultural and political development.The life of South Africa in "My Son's Story" is full of Foucault's diffuse power relationship.This article attempts to use Gode's micropolitics as the theoretical coordinate to interpret Gordimer's liberation political thought.The first chapter introduces the author's introduction,research summary,and explains the research methods and significance of this paper.The second chapter will be based on Foucault's micro-power theory,carry out the theoretical background research of micro-politics,and grasp Gordy's micro-political thinking as a whole.The third chapter will take the individual body in the novel as the starting point,and explore the important resistance of the micro-individual and the possibility of subjective reorganization.The fourth chapter will focus on the family in the novel,and analyze Gordy's writing of the housing space,parent-child relationship and family form in the later period of the South African Liberation Movement,in order to explain Gordimer's thinking on restructuring the family ethical structure.The fifth chapter analyzes the cultural metaphor behind the narrative features of the novel,and combines Gordy's non-fictional texts to discuss her concerns and cultural and political strategies for reorganizing South Africa's future democratic political philosophy.The conclusion part will briefly summarize the full text and look forward to the future Gordimer research.
