    The dialectic of orality and ideology in Wole Soyinka's Idanre and Ogun Abibiman
    (Department of English, University of Ibadan, 2013) Olorunyomi, S.
    The paper fuses three concerns: the thematic, stylistic and ideological as a strategy of textual engagement. And it commences by arguing against the tendency to consider the oral and written as binary sets, as cultural moments in cartesian divide. It identifies such overlaps through the African experience in orality and writing by reechoing Nsibidi, the Ajami tradition, the Meroe-Kushitic and the Kemetic Medu-Netcher. This habit of reading is then demonstrated, in a broad sense, by examining the dialectic of orality and ideology in two of Wole Soyinka’s poems —Idanre and Ogun Abibiman. In specific terms, the conceptual essense ol die dialectic here compels a textual examination of both the intricate and interstitial as interconnected in oral literary devices, which are also embedded ideological forms.

    That mutant called "text"
    (Department of English, University of Ibadan, 2006) Olorunyomi, S.
    Exploring emergent dimensions of the "text" in the new media is the primary concern of this paper. The continually changing context of cultural, artistic, aesthetic, and literary production makes it imperative to re-examine traditional concept of (the) text (oral and written), and its mutations. More precisely, orality in contemporary Africanist scholarship is a discursive formation; it is a site of ideological struggle for self-representation and self-reinscribing in contesting foisted privileging norms and narratives. The paper draws attention to those normative assumptions of what constitute literature and the theoretical guide that has engendered the shaping of the discipline. In this case, the enquiry deepens further by examining some existing undercurrent layers of written literature in oral narrative and performance, and the consequent transpositions that mediate it through the new media made possible by the electronic technology.
