Die representasie van die visie in die verhalende prosa van Elsabe Steenberg / Elizabeth Susanna van der WesthuizenVan der Westhuizen, Elizabeth Susanna January 1997 (has links)
Elsabe Steenberg's oeuvre, consisting among others of forty two stories in book
format, has four target groups -- preschool children, young children, teenagers and
adults. Her narrative work is so richly textured and contains such a depth of insight
into the complexities of life that it should not only attract attention because of its
topicality, but that it should also be exposed -- especially in a society searching for
direction -- to as large a number of readers and researchers as possible.
It is clear that all of her works represent a view of reality which, from an
intertextual point of view, could be seen as being grounded in the ontological point
of departure. The main focus of the present study is to investigate the
representational procedes through which the ontological view is represented in four
selected texts from the oeuvre. This is done in order to establish internal textual
variants and constants. The four selected texts, in which tree symbolism manifests
itself in various intertextual permutations, are: Die boom wat wou loop (for
preschool children), Soek-soek op soek (for young children), Boom homer boomste
(for teenagers) and Plek van die bruin geeste (for adults). The rest of the oeuvre, as
well as Elsabe Steenberg's poetics, are referred to cursorily in order to establish a
corroborating intertextual comparative base.
The procedes representing the whole internal textual universe, from concrete object,
• through the different but also complementary narrative elements, further to the overt
representation and manifestation of the abstract theme and view of the narrative
world, are all investigated. The four texts are first discussed independently by
means of a structuralist-semiotic approach, after which the variants and constants
are determined intertextually.
The numerous aspects of the representational system of the view of reality in all
four the intensively studied texts, as well as those in the rest of the oeuvre which
are only touched on briefly, an point toward one fundamental factor as semiotic
sign, namely: God is. Identity as an intertextual constant plays a very prominent
role in the whole oeuvre. Consequently, the numerous ways in which the
fundamental view of reality are represented, are thus also associated with God's
identity or Being, for example, God is the Origin, God is the Giver of insight into
the diversity, interrelatedness and meaning of reality, and God is the real
regenerating Force. / Proefskrif (PhD (Afrikaans en Nederlands))--PU vir CHO, 1997.
