As a dominant poetic figure from the late 1940s until his death, he exerted great influence in the sphere of Afrikaans literature as advisor on new manuscripts for publishers and as editor of comprehensive, canonizing collections of poetry. He also exerted great influence on young poets for whom he provided training in his so-called 'literary laboratory' in Stellenbosch.</jats:p>

The idea is pu t forward that an intertextual web, echoing the intertextual relations in the poetry and prose, is form ed by the various views in the articles. The article concludes with an extended bibliography o f studies on the work o f T. T. Cloete. 2. Cloete as gewaardeerde en merkwaardige Hguur Elke literatuur het sy merkwaardige figure.

As literator, kritikus, digter, dramaturg, prosaskrywer en psalmverwerker (min of meer in chronologiese volgorde) het hy oor jare 'n reputasie opgebou en hierdie reputasie groei steeds.

The stories are all about the Anglo-Boer War (1899-1902) and though some o f the stories simply retell history from the point o f view o f specific individuals, some o f the stories are indeed fine examples o f postmodernist fiction. In the best stories in the volume the narrators engage with history in a number o f ways: by indicating the fallacies o f historiography, by contrasting little narratives with the master narrative o f official historical documents, by emphasizing the textuality o f history and the necessity o f retelling the past. Personalized history and personalized interpretations o f historical facts and historical documents are used in attempting to find or create new identities. The use o f historiographical metafiction enables these narrators to interact with a present which is so complex and still so near that it can only be approached indirectly through stories.

It is traditionalism that gives tradition such a bad name-J. Pelican. bstract Intertextuality as symbiosis: two namesakes and an erudite angel This article focuses on the relations among the variety o f texts which are referred to in the story "Dr. Diedericks leer om te lag" by T.T. Cloete. The apparently explicit allusions become much more complex when analysed closely. Cloete's story becomes a postmodernist discourse in which precursors, sources and "other voices" are creatively "misread". In the process o f transforming an older text, Van Melle's story "Oom Diederik leer om te huil" gains a new lease on life, but the boundaries o f literature are also challenged by incorporating philosophical writings and popular medical books into the story. A metaphysical layer surfaces in the interpretation o f the story as the directions o f the erudite angelic figure to 1 Eliot (1919) in Stallman (1949:379). 2 Pelican (1984:69).

The article points out that whereas theories during the greater part of the twentieth century tended to encourage a more "open" approach to meaning and textuality, there are clear indications of a new awareness of textual constraints in the last decade. The point is made that interpreters and translators should be aware of the philosophical implications as well as of the textual constraints in the different forms of textual processing. In conclusion the responsibility of translators and interpreters of religious texts is emphasised. Yet releasement toward things and openness to the mystery never happen of themselves. They do not befall us accidentally. Both flourish only through persistent, courageous thinking. Heidegger Memorial Address.

Brink are analysed and discussed. Gaston Bachelard's views about the importance of space in the "imagined being" of man, expressed in his book The poetics of space (1969), are exploited to explore the spatial aspects of the narrative. The analyses focuses particularly on the house as the central meaningful space in the novel. According to Bachelard the experience of space is determined by human imagination. Experience and memory are linked irrevocably to the spatial dimension of life and therefore spatial memories are characterized by partiality and particularity. In this article the physical and psychological aspects of the representation of space in Donkermaan are discussed and linked to the "intertextual space" created in the narrative, which can be regarded not only as the collective unconscious of language and literature, but also as the ultimate "home" of the narrator.
