    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation explores the interaction that takes place during the adaptation of a story as a screenplay and the subsequent translation of the screenplay into a film. The focus falls on two Afrikaans examples, 'n Wêreld sonder grense and Fiela se kind, as well as the British film adaptation of The French lieutenant's woman. As this study is concerned with both literature and film, the relation between both mediums is taken as a starting point. An examination of the "differences" between literature and film proves that the two media are remarkably similar and that dissimilarities are often not differences in kind but in degree.

    Sluitingstrategiee in enkele Afrikaanse kortverhale

    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: There is still much confusion concerning the term "closure" and what exactly it entails. Some critics are inclined to regard "closure" as synonymous with "closed", which limits the field of study, while some poststructuralist critics tend to associate closure with finality. I support the viewpoint of critics like Marianna Torgovnick and Barbara Herrnstein Smith, who see the rounding off of a text as one of the most important aspects of closure. Such a view, to a great extent, makes provision for the criticism aimed at closure by deconstructivists such as J. Hillis Miller and D. A. Miller.
