Abstract:
This article analyzes the work of E. Pauline Johnson / Tekahionwake and her engagements with the print culture of colonial Canada at the end of the nineteenth century. It argues that Johnson used this print space to cannily negotiate the demands of a settler culture that was forcibly and violently working to assimilate First Nations peoples across the continent. By combining research by Haudenosaunee scholars on their wampum practices and traditions with scholarship on Victorian periodical and print culture, Fong shows how Johnson's early poetry and prose on paddling from the Toronto-based periodical Saturday Night engaged Mohawk political and aesthetic practices.
摘要:本文分析了 E. Pauline Johnson / Tekahionwake 的作品以及她在 19 世纪末与加拿大殖民地印刷文化的互动。文章认为,约翰逊利用这一印刷空间,巧妙地与殖民者文化的要求进行了谈判。通过将豪德诺索尼学者对其坎普姆习俗和传统的研究与维多利亚时期期刊和印刷文化的学术研究相结合,Fong 展示了约翰逊早期在多伦多期刊《星期六之夜》上发表的关于划船的诗歌和散文是如何与莫霍克人的政治和美学实践相结合的。
