“…A similar finding was made by Panicacci (2019), who found that immigrants' attachment to their traditions and host culture and 'heritage language (L1) and host language (LX)' (p. 87) are related. Conversely, folk revivals entail sympathisers of dominating cultures being culturally motivated by their own civilisation, according to Orosco (2016) and Barlow (2017). Sibani (cited in highlights the strategy of opposing infiltration and corruption through non-acculturation methods.…”

“…However, the expressions highlighted in lines 38-43 continue to undermine the glimmer of hope in lines 32-37. The poem's voice not only exposes and criticises, but also provides a useful detail of a significant sector-existing song bards, poets, and melodies-from which to construct an unaltered, undiluted, or perverted dominant culture, which is a tactic used by sympathisers of the dominant culture to combat cultural infiltration and adulteration by their civilizations (Orosco, 2016;Barlow, 2017).…”

The purpose of the research was to examine the constructivist referents in Oumar Farouk Sesay’s poem ‘The Song of the Women of My Land’. This required an analysis and understanding of the referents (terms that clearly and indirectly refer to persons, things or events) and whether the referents were used in the poem to express grief by women. The research questions were as follows: a) Does the poet use referents that suggest the death of traditions that celebrate old women, song bards, and songs from the past more than any other word? b) Is the poet more likely to employ poetic allusions to indicate negative constructivism? and c) Is the poem’s use of prosodic features related to the message? This study used computational and content analysis methods, which incorporate a careful poetry-reading critical approach, to identify and calculate constructivist referents. The referents were then manually broad-coded to include whole lines and verses. The exact words, phrases, and sentences related to the topic were coded and their frequency was determined. These were calculated by counting the number of times a referent appeared. The themes were then selected and interpreted, with a focus on relating them to the poem’s constructivist viewpoint. Finally, the main prosodic elements of the poem, as well as the referents that create them, were established. The results show that most referents by African poets are used to emphasise that traditional culture is dying and that the referents romanticise the fleeting nature of beauty in poetry and the pacifying effects of rural pastimes.

This essay surveys responses to Macpherson's Ossian in Irish literature, alongside analysis of the development of literary Celticism. Despite being a key text behind the development of Celticism in Irish writing, Ossian is consciously rejected in Irish Romanticism and in the Celtic Revival. However, Ossian becomes a symbol of literary recycling and mental fragmentation in Irish Modernism. Texts studied in this essay include Owenson's The Wild Irish Girl, Joyce's Finnegans Wake, and Beckett's Murphy.
