Abstract
The author shows how Coetzee describes the physical and intellectual constraints imposed on individuals when they are evoluting in a space ruled by the apartheid system. While following the main character, the reader is confronted to the oppression of the political system, both through realist writting and through allegory. In cultivating the ground which makes the very material of this space, Mickael K realizes the constraint upon him and recovers his freedom because he subjectively reinvests this territory. Coetzee's work is an invitation to go past the limits prescribed by the apartheid.
