| Description | Hierdie artikel ondersoek die ossilasie tussen leserbetrokkenheid en -afkeer by die lees van A clockwork orange deur Anthony Burgess. Ek voer aan dat nadsat as doelgemaakte taal tot ’n toestand van leserbetrokkenheid lei, wat deur middel van ’n motiveringstruktuur van lees-vir-plesier ‘vloei’ in die leesproses bewerkstellig. Lesernuuskierigheid versterk die gevoel van vervulling wat die bemeestering van nadsat meebring, positief. Leserafkeer vind plaas met die verstaan vannadsat. Afkeer word veroorsaak deur die wreedaardigheid wat deur die nadsat-narratief gekommunikeer word. Hierdie afkeer veroorsaak egter nie dat die leser ophou met lees nie, maar dien as sensasiebeluste motivering om aan te hou met lees. Hierdie soort motivering word as negatiewe versterking beskou. Beide motiveringstrukture (positiewe en negatiewe versterkers) veroorsaak die ossilasie tussen leserbetrokkenheid en -afkeer as deel van die leeservaring wat A clockwork orange bied. Die doel van hierdie artikel is om die ossilasie tussen leserbetrokkenheid en -afkeer te verduidelik volgens die teoretiese raamwerke wat hierbo aangedui is. This article explores the oscillation between immersion and repulsion amongst readers of A clockwork orange by Anthony Burgess. I argue that nadsat, as an invented language, introduces the state of ‘reader immersion’ resulting in ‘flow’ by means of a ‘ludic reading’ motivational structure. Reader curiosity acts as a ‘positive reinforcer’ through the sense of accomplishment felt by mastering nadsat. Reader repulsion occurs once nadsat is understood. Repulsion is induced as a result of the brutality the nadsat narrative communicates. However, repulsion does not necessarily cause the reader to stop reading, but rather acts as a sensationally derived motivation to continue reading. This type of motivation is identified as a ‘negative reinforcer’. Both motivational structures (positive and negative reinforcers) develop the oscillation between reader immersion and repulsion as part of the reading experience A clockwork orange offers. The aim of this article is to discuss the oscillation between immersion and repulsion experienced by readers of A clockwork orange according to the theoretical frameworks indicated above. | |
