The Cultural Self: The Novel As Griot In African American Fiction, Eric Christian Atkinson
The Cultural Self: The Novel As Griot In African American Fiction, Eric Christian Atkinson
Theses Digitization Project
This paper addresses the Western African oral concept of griot, as it utilizes nommo, the Bantu term which denotes the magical power of words to cause change, as a critical African American lexical lens. It will foreground the fiction of Octavia E. Butler and John Edgar Wideman through the critical lens of griot as a means to construct African American community and culture through narrative by utilizing nommo. Nommo is an "African concept in which the word is a life force; the word is creator rather than created" even after it has been spoken or written. Traditionally the griot is …

The Literacy Event Horizon: Examining Orality And Literacy In Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, AndréA Diane Davis
The Literacy Event Horizon: Examining Orality And Literacy In Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony, AndréA Diane Davis
Theses Digitization Project
Applies James Gee's concept of Discourses to illustrate how literacy and orality thematically constitute hybrid identity in Silko's novel Ceremony. Then, applies Wallace Chafe's linguistic framework of integration and involvement showing that the novel is a linguistic hybrid, not just a text that thematically elevates hybridity. Unlike other Native American authors who create half-breed characters merely as bridges between two cultures, Silko creates her character Tayo as an embodiment of an emergent hybrid culture.

Theses Digitization Project
This thesis presents an analysis and interpretation of Joycean literary devices, narrative techniques and rhetorical strategies that have been integrated by Robert Anton Wilson in his novel Masks of the Illuminati. The author shows how Wilson uses word games of Finnegans Wake and other devices to depict dreams in his novel and "to conceal and reveal a variety of levels of meaning and postcolonial insight" (p. v-iv). Narrative techniques examined include multiple viewpoints, combined words, multi-lingual puns and webs of allusions.
