The optimistic belief of scholars and authors, that folktales are a means of bridging cultural gaps, is questioned. Finally, it is shown that authors of folktale texts can synthesise diverse literary traditions in a hybrid artform. This synthesis, to some extent, embodies the >new nationalist= aim of a unified national cultural identity in South Africa. The central value of recognising the role of folktale texts in colonialist and nationalist discourses lies in the awareness that this type of literary activity in South Africa is a cross-cultural practice. The confluence of voices which constitutes these folktale texts, reveals that our stories are intertwined. In the past, the discourses of colonialism and apartheid controlled the formation of the diverse and hierarchised cultural identities of South Africa. But this is not to say that alternative stories of self-fashioning and cultural self-determination did not exist. In the folktale texts of writers such as Mhlope, Jordan, and even in Theal's colonial collection, different mediums, literary heritages and styles converge to create narratives which speak of cross-cultural interaction and the empowerment of the black voice. In post-apartheid South Africa, there is even greater opportunity to reshape stories, to recreate selves, and to redefine intercultural relations. This thesis has outlined how some of those stories, which use folktale texts as their central trope, are constructed and commodified. Not only do these reinvented folktale texts embody the heterogeneous cultural influences of South Africa, they also have the potential to promote, first, the understanding of cultural differences, and second, the acceptance of the notion of cultural hybridity in our society.]]> Thu 13 May 2021 06:57:59 SAST ]]> Spenser's Colin Clout : an introductory study https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2180 Thu 13 May 2021 06:37:18 SAST ]]> The Harry Potter phenomenon literary production, generic traditions, and the question of values https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2201 Thu 13 May 2021 06:06:30 SAST ]]> The role of the artist in society as seen in the novels of Henry James https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2305 Thu 13 May 2021 05:59:20 SAST ]]> William Blake’s animal symbols: tensions and intersections between science and allegory In Eighteenth-Century attitudes towards animals https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:20696 Thu 13 May 2021 05:50:57 SAST ]]> Unstable ironies: narrative instability in Herman Charles Bosman's "Oom Schalk Lourens" series https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2215 Thu 13 May 2021 05:38:43 SAST ]]> South African memoirs in a decade of transition: Athol Fugard's Cousins (1994), J.M.
