Artistic Synergism And Disruptive Continuity In Nol Alembong's "The Beginning", Oscar C. Labang
Artistic Synergism And Disruptive Continuity In Nol Alembong's "The Beginning", Oscar C. Labang
Dr. Oscar C. Labang
The analytical trajectory of this paper narrows the general, complex and complicated spectrum of intertextuality discourses to a form of intertextual reworking and playfulness, which is called narrative intertextuality. It examines the intertextual matrix upon which the Anglophone Cameroon poet, Nol Alembong, engages a dialogue between texts from different cultural, mythological, philosophical and narratological perspectives.
