Abstract

Abstract:In this essay, I blend genres—invoking the conventions of ekphrastic, academic, and memoir writing—to piece together stories that function as fodder for simultaneously illuminating and probing the well-established link between trauma and violence. A transgenerational mapping of tales, the essay illustrates interconnectedness among the historical, social, cultural, and familial contexts of and reasons for trauma vis-à-vis the following questions: What knowledge is owed to us, the living, by the dead? What do we owe the dead? What truths do we deserve to reclaim? What must we remember if we are to weather assaults on our (Indigenous)ways of knowing and being? What knowledge of ourselves do we have a right to (re)write in our own voices?

摘要:在这篇文章中，我将不同的文体结合在一起——引用通俗文体、学术写作和回忆录写作的惯例——拼凑出一些故事，作为素材，同时照亮和探索创伤与暴力之间已经确立的联系。故事的跨代映射，这篇文章说明了历史，社会，文化和家庭背景之间的相互联系以及创伤的原因-à-vis以下问题:死者欠我们，活着的人什么知识?我们欠死者什么?我们应该重拾哪些真理?如果我们要抵御对我们(土著)认知和存在方式的攻击，我们必须记住什么?我们有权利用自己的声音(重新)书写关于我们自己的哪些知识?

期刊介绍： In the foreword to the first issue of the The Southern Literary Journal, published in November 1968, founding editors Louis D. Rubin, Jr. and C. Hugh Holman outlined the journal"s objectives: "To study the significant body of southern writing, to try to understand its relationship to the South, to attempt through it to understand an interesting and often vexing region of the American Union, and to do this, as far as possible, with good humor, critical tact, and objectivity--these are the perhaps impossible goals to which The Southern Literary Journal is committed." Since then The Southern Literary Journal has published hundreds of essays by scholars of southern literature examining the works of southern writers and the ongoing development of southern culture.
