SECTION A
Question 1
1.1. According to Leland et al. (2013), we need to understand that texts often embrace cultural
ideas and, therefore, we should be sensitive to the ideas associated with specific cultures when
reading. How can being sensitive to the cultural context of a text help readers avoid
misunderstandings or misinterpretations of its themes and characters?
Being sensitive to the cultural context of a text helps readers avoid misunderstandings or
misinterpretations by allowing them to appreciate the perspectives and values of the culture in which
the text is rooted. As Leland et al. (2013) suggest, texts often reflect the ideas, norms, and beliefs of
specific cultures. By acknowledging the cultural background, readers can better understand why
characters behave in certain ways or why certain themes are emphasized. This awareness helps
prevent imposing one’s cultural assumptions onto the text, which can lead to distorted interpretations
of the characters’ actions or the message the author is conveying. It also fosters a deeper engagement
with the material, as the reader can recognize nuances in the text that relate to the historical or social
context of the culture, leading to a more informed and empathetic reading.
1.2. ‘Fan fiction is a genre of writing usually on the internet where people add, extend or create
new storylines to existing narratives’ (Leland et al., 2013: 54). Consider the above quote from
Leland et al. and discuss how fan fiction allows for the exploration of themes, characters, or
perspectives that may be underrepresented or marginalised in the original works? What cultural
significance does this hold?
Fan fiction, as discussed by Leland et al. (2013), provides a unique space where fans can explore and
expand upon the themes and characters of original works. This genre often allows writers to
introduce new perspectives, particularly those that might have been marginalized or
underrepresented in the original narrative. For example, fan fiction can give voice to characters from
minority groups or delve into alternative storylines that challenge traditional norms around race,
gender, or sexuality. This is culturally significant as it democratizes storytelling, allowing for a more
inclusive representation of diverse experiences and identities. By doing so, fan fiction challenges the
established cultural narratives of the original works and creates a platform for more voices to be
heard, reshaping the cultural discourse surrounding these stories.
