Abstract

In her article, “Hanay Geiogamah’s Body Indian and Foghorn as ‘Plays with a Purpose,’” written against the backdrop of critical whiteness studies, Danica Čerče discusses how Geiogamah’s theatrical rhetoric intervenes in the assumptions about whiteness as a static, privilege-granting category and system of dominance. By focusing on various techniques and strategies mobilized to define and affirm Native Americans’ authentic rather than imposed identities, the article shows that humor is one of the prime textual devices in Geiogamah’s plays to renegotiate what Walter Mignolo calls “the racist structure of power.” Danica Čerče, "Hanay Geiogamah’s Body Indian and Foghorn as ‘Plays with a Purpose’" page 2 of 10 CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture 22.4 (2020): http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweb/vol22/iss4/13

Hanay Geiogamah的Body Indian和Foghorn的“有目的的游戏”

Danica Čerče在她的文章《Hanay Geiogamah ' s Body Indian and Foghorn as ' Plays with a Purpose '》中，以批判性的白人研究为背景，讨论了Geiogamah的戏剧修辞是如何介入白人作为一种静态的、赋予特权的类别和统治体系的假设的。通过关注各种技术和策略来定义和肯定印第安人的真实身份，而不是强加的身份，这篇文章表明，幽默是Geiogamah戏剧中重新谈判Walter Mignolo所说的“种族主义权力结构”的主要文本手段之一。Danica Čerče，“Hanay Geiogamah的Body Indian和Foghorn作为‘有目的的游戏’”CLCWeb:比较文学与文化22.4 (2020):http://docs.lib.purdue.edu/clcweb/vol22/iss4/13

期刊介绍： The intellectual trajectory of CLCWeb: Comparative Literature and Culture is located in the humanities and social sciences in the discipline of comparative literature and the field of cultural studies designated as "comparative cultural studies." Comparative cultural studies is a contextual approach in the study of culture in all of its products and processes; its theoretical and methodological framework is built on tenets borrowed from the discipline of comparative literature and the field of cultural studies and from a range of thought including literary and culture theory, systems theory, and communication theories; in comparative cultural studies focus is on theory and method, as well as on application; in comparative cultural studies metaphorical argumentation and description are discouraged; the intellectual trajectory of the journal includes the postulate to work in a global and intercultural context with a plurality of methods and approaches, and in interdisciplinarity in the study of the processes of communicative action(s) in culture, the production and processes of culture, the products of culture, and the study of the how of these processes; the epistemological bases of comparative cultural studies are in (radical) constructivism and in methodology the contextual (systemic and empirical) approach is favored (however, comparative cultural studies does not exclude textual analysis proper or other established fields of scholarship).
