Dimu: An Ancient Character in Modern Bantu Language Tales

Abstract This article begins with a table which shows modern words for “ogre”, e. g., zimu in Zulu, irimu in Kikuyu and dimo in Sotho, in Bantu language tales and relates them to the Proto-Bantu term, dimu. Using insights from depth psychology, Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification and, especially, performance theory, the paper examines the character of the ogre in a number of theoretical areas. These include the relationship between tradition and creativity, the development of narrative meaning and how the ogre functions as a symbol with special reference to stories found in eastern and southern Africa.

期刊介绍： Fabula is a medium of discussion for issues of all kinds which are of interest to international folk narrative research. The journal contains eight divisions: Articles, Minor Contributions, Research Reports and Conference Reports, News, Projects and Queries, Reviews, Bibliographical Notes, and Books Received. Principal themes of the article section are the study of popular narrative traditions in their various forms (fairy tales, legends, jokes and anecdotes, exempla, fables, ballads, etc.), the interrelationship between oral and literary traditions as well as the contemporary genres. Interest focuses on Europe and overseas countries which are influenced by European civilization, but still, there is quite a number of contributions from other culture areas.
