Abstract

Abstract: Chickasaw Linda Hogan’s essay “The Snake People” contains innumerable references to snakes, pointing to the reptile’s exquisite beauty, to its remarkable qualities, and to its representations throughout history. Seemingly parenthetically the essay also alludes to an earth monument in the form of a snake, over 1,200 feet long, constructed by American Indians in what is now Ohio. Catherine Kunce argues that the structure, form, and content of Hogan’s essay itself creates a literary, serpentine monument that invites readers to move beyond abstraction and to become active antidotes to injustice.

蛇眼:琳达·霍根在《蛇人》中不朽的蛇形正义化身

摘要:契卡索·琳达·霍根(Chickasaw Linda Hogan)的文章《蛇人》(The Snake People)中无数次提到蛇，指出这种爬行动物的精致美丽、卓越品质，以及它在历史上的代表。这篇文章似乎附带提到了一座蛇形的土碑，有1200多英尺长，是由美国印第安人在现在的俄亥俄州建造的。凯瑟琳·昆斯认为，霍根文章的结构、形式和内容本身创造了一个文学的、蜿蜒的纪念碑，邀请读者超越抽象，成为不公正的积极解毒剂。
