Writing the Ethics of Water in Michael Ondaatje, Thomas King, and Anne Michaels

Gallant, Laura 02 September 2010 (has links)
In July 2010, the United Nations declared access to water and sanitation a human right. Certainly a success for water rights advocates worldwide, this resolution also poses a number of questions, such as how to find and distribute this water on a planet that is running out of fresh water (Barlow et al, Blue Gold xi). With this question in mind, this thesis looks at the treatment of water management projects in Michael Ondaatje’s In the Skin of a Lion (1987), Thomas King’s Green Grass, Running Water (1993), and Anne Michaels’ The Winter Vault (2009). More specifically, it examines the ways competing visions of the common good and of what development should (and should not) look like are imbricated therein. In so doing, my discussion focuses on the inextricability of social justice from water justice and it suggests that narrative can play a key role in connecting the two.

Storied voices in Native American texts : Harry Robinson, Thomas King, James Welch and Leslie Marmon Silko

Chester, Blanca Schorcht 05 1900 (has links)
"Storied Voices in Native American Texts: Harry Robinson, Thomas King, James Welch and Leslie Marmon Silko" approaches Native American literatures from within an interdisciplinary framework that complicates traditional notions o f literary "origins" and canon. It situates the discussion of Native literatures in a Native American context, suggesting that contemporary Native American writing has its roots in Native oral storytelling traditions. Each of these authors draws on specific stories and histories from his or her Native culture. They also draw on European elements and contexts because these are now part o f Native American experience. I suggest that Native oral tradition is already inherently novelistic, and the stories that lie behind contemporary Native American writing explicitly connect past and present as aspects o f current Native reality. Contemporary Native American writers are continuing an on-going and vital storytelling tradition through written forms. A comparison of the texts o f a traditional Native storyteller, Robinson, with the highly literate novels of King, Welch and Silko, shows how orally told stories connect with the process o f writing. Robinson's storytelling suggests how these stories "theorize" the world as he experiences it; the Native American novel continues to theorize Native experience in contemporary times. Native writers use culturally specific stories to express an on-going Native history. Their novels require readers to examine their assumptions about who is telling whose story, and the traditional distinctions made between fact and fiction, history and story. King's Green Grass. Running Water takes stories from Western European literary traditions and Judeao-Christian mythology and presents them as part of a Native creation story. Welch's novel Fools Crow re-writes a particular episode from history, the Marias River Massacre, from a Blackfeet perspective. Silko's Almanac of the Dead recreates the Mayan creation story o f the Popol Vuh in the context o f twentiethcentury American culture. Each of these authors maintains the dialogic fluidity of oral storytelling performance in written forms and suggests that stories not only reflect the world, but that they create it in the way that Robinson understands storytelling as a form of theory.

Beyond the bon sauvage : questioning Canada's postcoloniality in Nancy Huston's Plainsong and Thomas King's Green grass, running water

Holoch, Adele Johnsen. January 2006 (has links)
This thesis approaches the question of Canada's postcoloniality through two novels, Nancy Huston's Plainsong and Thomas King's Green Grass, Running Water. Published in 1993, both novels problematize a postcolonial articulation of marginality in Canada, suggesting that it reduces the complexities of otherness to binary divisions of center and margin, colonizer and colonized. While Plainsong imagines the restrictive consequences such a reading may have on the others with which it engages, Green Grass, Running Water pushes past those boundaries to affirm the complex nature of alterity in contemporary Canada. Through King's novel in particular, we are provided a new model for approaching and understanding the nuances of difference in a changing literary and political landscape.
