摘要

在电影中，"魔法黑人 "是一个典型角色，其超自然的天赋会促进白人主角的成功。在许多悬疑系列剧中都有一个具有类似特征的角色，那就是 "神奇印第安人"，他拥有其他人无法企及的超自然联系和能力。克雷格-约翰逊（Craig Johnson）在他的《沃尔特-朗米尔》（Walt Longmire）悬疑小说中，通过美国原住民角色的代理，发展出一条强大的超自然线索，这些角色可被视为 "神奇印第安人"。虽然约翰逊笔下的 "神奇印第安人 "与 "神奇黑人 "有相似之处，但他们在表现灵性的方式上有很大的不同，这使他们成为具有教育功能的更现实的人物。

Moving beyond the magic Indian Trope in Craig Johnson's Walt Longmire series

In films, the Magic Negro is a stock character whose supernatural gifts promote the success of a White protagonist. A character with parallel traits found in a number of mystery series is the Magic Indian, who has supernatural connections and abilities unavailable to others. In his Walt Longmire mysteries, Craig Johnson develops a strong supernatural thread with the agency of Native American characters who can be considered Magic Indians. While Johnson's Magic Indians share similarities with Magic Negroes, they exhibit key differences in the way their spirituality is presented that make them more realistic characters serving an educational function.

期刊介绍： The popular culture movement was founded on the principle that the perspectives and experiences of common folk offer compelling insights into the social world. The fabric of human social life is not merely the art deemed worthy to hang in museums, the books that have won literary prizes or been named "classics," or the religious and social ceremonies carried out by societies" elite. The Journal of Popular Culture continues to break down the barriers between so-called "low" and "high" culture and focuses on filling in the gaps that a neglect of popular culture has left in our understanding of the workings of society.
