This research makes a comparative study of the novels A Idade do Ferro (1992) and Desonra (2000) by the South African writer John Maxwell Coetzee. The theme proposed aims at a comparative analysis between the two novels highlighting the identity of images, otherness and postcolonialism concepts and endurance, as well as investigate the narrator's role in the construction of these images and concepts. Backing up in apartheid theme treated in both works, as well as other elements that find resonance in the internal structure of the two narratives such as the anchored narrative focusing on elements of a cultural memory that raises questions of otherness and postcolonialism. In the book A Idade do Ferro (1992), the issue of otherness appears in the main character of the everyday, Elizabeth Costello initiating an inquiry and reflection from contact with the Other who reveals his "blindness" against the regime, but also its fragility compared to the strong black as iron. The novel Desonra (2000) reveals the white man's condition in the new post-apartheid society, which transformed the old white superiority in the minority and subjected to the excluded condition in which you need to adjust to the new society of South Africa marked the past segregationist, realizing up now as a being moved, seeing the "disgrace" around him, while the other characters re-placed. The analysis takes as theoretical assumptions the concepts of identity, otherness, resistance and postcolonialism exposed by Franz Fanon (1979), Alfredo Bosi (2002), Stuart Hall (2003), Homi Bhabha (2003), Thomas Bonnici (2009) among others. For the study of the narrator, the assumptions of Mikhail Bakhtin will be taken (1993) to more precisely design multilingualism in the novel, dialogism and polyphony.
