摘要

"Conceptualizing American Indian Literary Theory: Oral Theories and Written Traditions" is divided into four chapters. Chapter One argues that contemporary American Indian literary criticism may be divided into three modes, each with its own critical methodology and epistemological source. Chapter One argues that American Indian literary criticism should emphasize communal and activist concerns and interpret Native literature using the methodologies and epistemologies expressed first in American Indian oral traditions. Chapter Two analyzes N. Scott Momaday's The Way to Rainy Mountain using an oral traditional critical methodology to define the critical concepts which the text explores. Chapter Two identifies the concepts of language, perception, and process as central to Momaday's theory of cultural and individual transformation through storytelling. Chapter Three analyzes the theories of history and politics expressed in Gerald Vizenor's novel Bearheart: The Heirship Chronicles. Chapter Three claims that Vizenor's use of the American Indian trickster figure offers a unique set of strategies of decolonization. Chapter Four analyzes Robert J. Conley's Real People Series, showing how oral traditional stories provide the conceptual terms through which to interpret contemporary American Indian literature. Chapter Four claims that written literature and oral tradition are in dialogue with one another. Readers of Conley's Real People series play a necessary role in this cultural and intellectual conversation which invigorates Cherokee culture.
机译:“概念化美洲印第安人文学理论:口述理论与书面传统”共分为四章。第一章认为,当代美洲印第安人文学批评可以分为三种模式,每种模式都有其自己的批判性方法论和认识论渊源。第一章认为,美洲印第安人文学批评应强调社区和活动主义者的关切,并使用美洲印第安人口头传统中首先表达的方法论和认识论来解释本土文学。第二章使用口头传统的批判方法分析了斯科特·莫马迪(N. Scott Momaday)的《通往雨山的道路》,以定义本文所探索的关键概念。第二章确定了语言,知觉和过程的概念,这些概念是Momaday通过讲故事的文化和个人转型理论的核心。第三章分析了杰拉尔德·维泽纳(Gerald Vizenor)的小说《熊心》(Bearheart:Heirship Chronicles)中表达的历史和政治理论。第三章声称维泽诺人利用美洲印第安人的骗子形象提供了一套独特的非殖民化策略。第四章分析了罗伯特·J·康利的《真实人物系列》,展示了口头传统故事如何提供概念术语来解释当代美洲印第安人文学。第四章声称书面文学和口头传统相互对话。康利的《真实人物》系列的读者在这种激发切诺基文化的文化和知识对话中扮演着必要的角色。
