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.]]> Tue 27 Aug 2024 15:48:37 SAST ]]> Towards a transnational feminist aesthetic: an analysis of selected prose writing by women of the South Asian diaspora https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2307 Tue 27 Aug 2024 15:48:00 SAST ]]> Enabling violence: the ethics of writing and reading rape in South Africa https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:41335 Tue 27 Aug 2024 11:33:48 SAST ]]> Being for the Other: Surveillance and Depictions of Race, Gender, and Animals in Contemporary South African Fiction https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:20549 Tue 27 Aug 2024 11:25:21 SAST ]]> Contesting masculinities: a study of selected texts of resistance to conscription into the South African Defence Force (SADF) in the 1980s https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2332 Thu 29 Aug 2024 11:24:54 SAST ]]> “Womxn like me are made”: politics and poetics in Claudia Rankine’s Citizen https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:38462 Thu 29 Aug 2024 11:02:46 SAST ]]> Female identity in the post-millennial Nigerian novel: a study of Adichie, Atta, and Unigwe https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2330 Thu 29 Aug 2024 10:57:17 SAST ]]> Unfallen women : negotiations of alternative feminine identities in selected writings by Olive Schreiner https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2214 Thu 29 Aug 2024 09:58:13 SAST ]]> Experiencing loss : traumatic memory and nostalgic longing in Anne Landsman's The Devil's Chimney and The Rowing Lesson, and Rachel Zadok's Gem Squash Tokoloshe https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2272 Thu 29 Aug 2024 09:20:23 SAST ]]> Perspectives on isolation: the relation of narrative technique to theme in selected works by Joseph Conrad https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2182 Thu 13 May 2021 16:31:22 SAST ]]> "Abject dictatorship of the flesh" : corporeality in the fiction of Patrick White https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2166 Thu 13 May 2021 10:12:11 SAST ]]> Detecting the transnational space: metaphysical detecting in Kazuo Ishiguro’s When we were orphans, Michiel Heyns’s Lost ground, and Amitav Gosh’s The Calcutta chromosome https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:37933 Thu 13 May 2021 09:11:02 SAST ]]> Meat and its meanings: representations of meat-eating in selected works of South African literature https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:20550 Thu 13 May 2021 08:49:20 SAST ]]> Transcendence in Patrick White: the imagery of the Tree of Man and Voss https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2254 Thu 13 May 2021 08:23:43 SAST ]]> Robert Herrick's self-presentation in Hesperides and his Noble numbers https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2207 Thu 13 May 2021 08:22:28 SAST ]]> Ideas of poetic form: aspects of the Romantic-Symbolist tradition https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:26587 Thu 13 May 2021 08:16:57 SAST ]]> A book history study of Michael Radford's filmic production William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2197 Thu 13 May 2021 07:44:19 SAST ]]> In search of the comprador: self-exoticisation in selected texts from the South Asian and Middle Eastern diasporas https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2328 Thu 13 May 2021 07:31:03 SAST ]]> In search of self explorations of identity in the work of Paul Auster https://vital.seals.ac.za/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:2208 Thu 13 May 2021 06:45:29 SAST ]]> A history of confession: the dialogue between cynicism and grace in selected novels of J.M.
