Wîhtikow feast : digesting layers of memory and myth in Highway's <i>Kiss of the Fur Queen</i> and McLeod's <i>Sons of a Lost River</i>Adair, Robin Shawn 05 October 2010 (has links)
This paper explores and compares the ways in which novelist and playwright Tomson Highway and visual artist and poet Neal McLeod use traditional and contemporary Cree narratives to represent personal and collective cultural experiences, both past and present. In Highways novel <i>Kiss of the Fur Queen</i>, and in McLeods exhibition of paintings <i>Sons of a Lost River</i>, the mythic figure of the wîhtikow, a cannibalistic entity that symbolizes the destructive forces of colonialism and urbanization, as well as the self-abusive patterns found within the individual psyche, is used in counterpoint with the Cree trickster wîsahkecâhk, elemental spirits like the Thunderbird, and heroes such as ayash and pîkahin okosisa to express a multi-stylistic array of cultural meanings that avoid absolute interpretations. Highway and McLeod create myths that explore the oppressive as well as the redemptive processes of their cultural heritage over centuries of engagement with colonial powers and institutions.

To walk with giants: a collection of short fiction and poetryValdez, Reynaldo Alexander 15 May 2009 (has links)
My thesis is a collection of my own original poetry and short fiction written as a
kind of response to Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself." Instead of having Whitman
continue to represent me through his poem, I wish to represent myself through my own
poetry. I attempted to create a new kind of fiction and poetry from the perspective of a
Hispanic who has less of a tie to Mexico or the homeland and more of the cultural
influences of the United States. Instead of focusing on differences between myself and
the dominant culture, I attempted to discuss in chapter II my philosophy concerning
subjects such as; war, religion, time and space, and society. In chapter III, I tried to
reconcile various cultural mythologies as the United States does not have a single shared
mythology. And in chapter IV I gave my own predictions of the future based on personal
observation. My twofold goal of this collection was to one, demonstrate that Hispanic
writers are capable of more than lamenting their shared past. And two, to challenge the
notion that anything besides a disenfranchisement narrative is "inauthentic" and renders
me a poor writer of Hispanic literature. I believe it is up to the reader to decide whether I
have accomplished these goals.

The Hero¡¦s Journey¡X¡XReading The Semi-gods and the Semi-devils by mythological criticismYen, Chia-yi 21 June 2006 (has links)
The Semi-gods and the Semi-devils is one of Jin Yong¡¦s most popular Martial-arts novels. Strange adventures of the main characters: Hsiao feng, Tuan yu, Hsu-chu are analogous to those of mythic heroes. This paper uses the archetypal approach to illustrate the main characters, the heroes¡¦journeys, for archetypes are universal patterns from which myths derive. My intention is that the theory of archetypes would enable us to see the literary work differently and give fresh insights to the novel in which important elements and meanings might otherwise go unnoticed.
