- Inhalt
- According to Gerald Vizenor, a prominent Native American author and scholar, Native Americans are "fugitives" in literature, history, and popular culture in the sense that cultural representation has obscured their presence in American culture and replaced them by various forms of the "invented Indian." In this class we will deal with the discursive strategies and the power dynamics involved in the misrepresentation, the expropriation and the discrimination of Native Americans and discuss the political issue of tribal sovereignty. Against this background the seminar will analyze various contemporary literary texts (see below) and films (Grandfather Sky, Smoke Signals, Grand Avenue, House Made of Dawn) written and produced by Native Americans. The discussion will be organized around theoretical approaches to representation and resistance, cultural identity, and the negotiation of cultural boundaries. Native American "texts" may be seen as belonging to an autonomous tribal discourse, a counter-hegemonic discourse, or a discourse of hybridity and transculturation – but please do not expect to get a glimpse of the "real, authentic American Indian" by studying Native American literatures and films. Participants are expected to read a lot, to contribute to a group project, and to give a short presentation in class. Screenings will take place in separate meetings. Shorter texts will be made available online.
