Discharging Liminality: An Approach to Ndebele's Fools

Abstract

The deconstructive negotiation of a text is, by turns, utilised and disburdened in the following exploration of Ndebele's "The Prophetess" from his short story cycle Fools. In the course of this dissemination an attempt is made to illustrate how texts may be enriched by directing enquiry and critique at end-points rather than to end-points.

Opsomming

Die problematiek van die dekonstruktiewe diskoers word beurtelings benuttig en "veroor­saak" in die volgende ondersoek na Ndebele se "The Prophetess" uit sy kortverhaalsiklus Fools. Daar wil aangetoon word hoedat die soeklig van kritiek wat op gerepresenteerde sin val 'n belangrike netwerk tekstuele betekenisvesels blootle; daar word aangevoer dat s6da­nige onteiening van gedissemineerde sin meer produktief is as eksplorasie wat gerig is op die bereiking van finale konklusies.
