Stance of Hausa Popular Romance Novels | | Author Name : | | | ALKASIM HARUNA, NOOR HASHIMA ABD AZIZ | | Publisher : | | | Bridge Center | | Article URL : |  | | | Abstract : | | | Reading romance novels is an activity engaged by most people
especially young readers. The aim of this study was to understand the
effects of efferent reading stances of female readers of Hausa popular
romance novels. A total of six female readers were selected from book
clubs to participate in the study. Face-face interviews were used to
collect the data. In analysing the interview data, the Transactional
Reader-Response Theory of Rosenblatt (1978) was used as a tool for the
analysis. Two themes emerged in relation to efferent reading stances
gained by the female readers after reading the novels: (i) Female
Empowerment and (ii) Challenging the Traditional Marriage System. | | Keywords : | | | Hausa romance novels, Female readers, Efferent reading
stance, Transactional Reader-Response Theory. |
