Описание : The lecture will discuss the problematic relationship between orality and the written word in a sample of Native American writing. Louise Erdrich’s work partakes of the growing trend in Native American art and literature and, as a whole, Native American Studies, to reconsider the traumatic event of colonization and its aftermath, and in this act of re-membering, to find strategies of self-relocation in the fragmented whereabouts of today’s world. Erdrich and the writers of her generation are extremely sensitive to the condition of unbelonging which is the logical consequence of the state of multiple belonging. For Native American peoples, this sense of severing has even deeper implications as they tend to assert individual identity in a very particular form of kinship within their community, which consists of family members, people, places, animals, the world of the deceased, the world of the Great Spirits. When deprived of the orality that had once provided them with the means to reconnect themselves to mythical reality, and the native language that would operate as the magical password, Native American writers impart intensely performative properties to the language they use and their writing serves to establish new, meaningful connections to the multiple worlds that sustain their community.
