The Cultural Factor in the Semiotics of Contemporary African Drama
··· lezzter Preis 71.10 ··· 9783848490882 ··· 1036125299 ··· This book is based on a study of the influence of culture on the semiotics of contemporary African drama - semiotics being the study of signs, which in this book includes both verbal and non-verbal signs. In this regard, even silence can be as much a sign as noise, and stillness as much as movement inaction as much as action. Cultural factors play a critical role in the production and interpretation of sign-vehicles in a dramatic text because some signs are culture-specific. The book proceeds from the premise that African dramatists are influenced by their culture when writing plays and that readers of the African play cannot ignore the writer s cultural orientation if they are to arrive at a reasonable interpretation of the text. A fair degree of understanding of the writer s cultural background is therefore critical to textual interpretation. Hence the behaviour of signs in the literary cultural context is an important preoccupation of the work. The book`s findings are based on a semiotic as opposed to a hermeneutic analysis of four African dramatic texts The Black Mamba (Kasoma), Nothing but the Truth (Kani), The Dilemma of a Ghost (Aidoo) and The Black Hermit (Ngugi).
