Mountains and rivers for a home : a study of the cultural and social repercussions of the return to nature in Leslie Marmon Silko's Ceremony and Thomas King's Green grass, running water

Cayouette, Murielle 20 April 2018 (has links)
La présente recherche a pour but de procéder à une étude comparative du processus régénératif au cœur de deux romans phares de la fiction autochtone contemporaine, soit Ceremony de Leslie Marmon Silko et Green Grass, Running Water de Thomas King. Trois volets principaux sont examinés : le rôle de la nature en tant que référent culturel dans le processus de régénération des personnages principaux de chaque roman, l’évolution de la quête identitaire dans un environnement post-contact, ainsi que les répercussions de la réactualisation de l’identité de chaque protagoniste sur la communauté à laquelle il appartient. Cette comparaison entre les procédés employés par Silko et King permettront, en un premier temps, d’identifier des éléments de continuité entre les deux auteurs. Ces similarités incluent la centralité de la nature dans la reconnexion des protagonistes avec leur culture et leur identité ainsi que l’emphase sur la nécessité d’une identité hybride dans un environnement post-contact. De plus, la comparaison entre ces deux auteurs issus de deux contextes socio-historiques distincts permet d’isoler certains éléments du contexte propre à chaque roman afin de déterminer le rôle de la réalité autochtone sur la fiction produite à chaque époque. De façon plus spécifique, il sera entre autres question de l’influence de la montée du mouvement environnementaliste euro-américain sur la valeur symbolique du retour à la nature, ainsi que de l’importance grandissante de la classe moyenne autochtone éduquée et de la façon dont ce nouveau phénomène est exprimé dans l’œuvre de King. / This thesis compares the regenerative processes at the heart of two milestone novels of contemporary Native American literature, Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony and Thomas King’s Green Grass, Running Water. My comparative study will be divided into three main sections: the role of nature as a cultural referent in the main characters’ regenerative processes in each novel, the evolution of the identity quest in a post-contact environment, and finally, the repercussions of the protagonists’ re-actualization of identity on the rest of their community. Through the comparative study of the processes employed by Silko and King with respect to one’s relationship to nature, cultural identity and social relations, I will be able to identify several similarities shared by the two novels, which demonstrate that they belong to the same Native artistic continuum. These resemblances include the central role of nature in reconnecting the protagonists to their identity, as well as a predominant emphasis on the emergence of a hybridized identity in a post-contact environment. Moreover, the comparison of two novels emerging from two different eras of Native American Literature –that of the 1970s and of the 1990s- will allow me to isolate the influence of the cultural context to which each particular work belongs. In doing so, it becomes possible to determine the influence of some transformations in Native lifestyle on the fiction produced at a given time. More specifically, the modifications I chose to focus on include the rise of Euro-American environmentalism on the symbolic value of returning to nature for Natives as well as the increasing presence of middle-class, educated Natives and their representation, mostly present in King’s fiction.
