    ‘The Other’ in Edward Irving Wortis’ The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle(1990) and Baz Luhrmann’s Australia(2008)
    (University Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi-Ouzou, 2017-10) DJELLAL, Lissia
    This research paper attempts to compare Edward Irving Wortis’ novel The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle (1990) and Baz Luhrmann’s movie Australia (2008). It aims to provide a contextual regard of women and colored men; specifically, Indigenous people and black Africans as depicted in both cited works. It also explores the ways these characters reflect Said’s designation of ‘The Other.’ This comparative study relies on Edward Said’s theory Orientalism (1978) and draws on some of its significant concepts; particularly ‘The Other’. This study has revealed that neither the geographical distance nor the cultural difference prevented Wortis and Luhrmann from tackling the same issues of racial discrimination and gender inequalities.
