description In a transcriptual approach to the literary discourse, the text as artefact is regarded as a creation of the scriptor. The artificiality of the poetics implies conscious or unconscious structuring - Cloete terms it dreamful thinking (“die dromende denke”) - by inevitably exploiting language conventions and the poetic devices, the sole purpose being that the organised composition can be the only (as well as measurable) indication of authorial intention. Likewise, in as far as language presents the relevant possibilities, authorial intention is imprinted upon the textual composition or is transposed lingually. Moreover, a transcriptual reading of Cloete texts has shown clearly that the text as language presentation exhibits a wilfulness, a creative language potency or energy which has to be activated by the reader. This dynamic, significatory potency is not constricted by the authorial intention; rather, it offers a framework within which language may claim to determinate actualisation. Realisation by the reader is therefore nothing more than a transcript of the possibilities and presentation of language. Added to this is the following qualification that this transcriptual process brings about an aesthetically realised object which is the imprint of the reader’s understanding. By reading Cloete’s poetry through transcriptually tinted glasses, the richness of this reading strategy becomes clear.
