Some aspects of N.S. Puleng's poetry

The study vacillates between the text, the reader and the author. Examining
biography and such socio-cultural factors as marriage and cosmology, the
reader is equipped with sufficient background which illuminates the ideology
behind the text.
The cosmological conceptions of the Northern Sotho shed some light on the
poet's views on the child's first cry. These assumptions lay a foundation for
the religious views expressed in his texts. The contradictions between
African religion and Christianity help us comprehend the frustrations of
secular and religious lives in our country. These also serve as linchpins
towards understanding the pursuit of religious pluralism.
The concept 'intertextuality' is explored. Cases of intratextuality and
intertextuality which dispute the absolutist view in meaning composition
highlight the interrelatedness of texts and how each relationship impacts on
meaning. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)
