Example text
40 Janina Orlov And ironically enough, The Tale’s sophistication lies in placing the ideology within which it was composed under problematizing scrutiny. Pushkin’s response to the oral tradition’s beautiful simplicity, strong narrative pulse, and otherworldly charm was ebullient enough. But he did have, it would seem, some hesitations. It is as if he was saying that, ultimately, the power of words is always limited, quite irrespective of whether they are spoken within an oral culture or written within a literate.
In this particular fable, the most significant thing which happens when the elephants rush into the water is that many of the hares who live along the lakeside are trampled on and killed. As a result of this catastrophe, serious tensions arise between the two species. What is central to The Pañcatantra is just this kind of conflict between the weak and the powerful. So does this make it a kind of mirror for magistrates? Is its aim to educate the young of a ruling, literate class in the ways of government and justice?
Or is it at least closer to understanding than the way they read non-narrative texts in English? As a form of communication, is narrative perhaps more basic and more easily assimilable? In answering these questions, Kokkola draws on cognitive theory as embodied in Bruner’s account (1986) of the “narrative mode” of understanding, and Egan’s account (1988a & b) of “mythic thought”. Her suggestion is that storylogic may indeed be intellectually fundamental, a hypothesis which her analysis of readings of particular texts by particular young Finnish children strongly supports.
