Jean-Francois Lyotard claims, “The grand narrative has lost its credibility” for ‘petit narratives,’ constantly violating the rules of language games, actively resist being totalized, simultaneously expressing multiple heterogeneity. Gerald Vizenor assembles petit narratives in his novel, Griever: An American Monkey King in China. The petit narratives about a Native American trickster’s traveling and teaching English in China in conjunction with the witty parody of The Journey to the West, a famous Chinese fantasy, derange various borders and allegorical concepts. To view Vizenor’s text in the light of Lyotard’s theories of the petit narrative, the sublime and the fantasy pedagogy, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s theories of becoming and the line of flight, and Gisela Brinker-Gabler’s theory of travel to encounter others reveals how Vizenor configures petit narratives and their ‘flight’ from diverse existing constraints. The protagonist Griever situated in-between serving as a de-constructive pivot of multi-layered, multi-dimensional narratives, presenting the under-developed China in parallel with American Indian reservations and comparing the legendary Chinese monkey king with a post-indian trickster, helps the readers to step back and get liberated from their own reality and cure.
Abstract
Jean-Francois Lyotard claims, “The grand narrative has lost its credibility” for ‘petit narratives,’ constantly violating the rules of language games, actively resist being totalized, simultaneously expressing multiple heterogeneity. Gerald Vizenor assembles petit narratives in his novel, Griever: An American Monkey King in China. The petit narratives about a Native American trickster’s traveling and teaching English in China in conjunction with the witty parody of The Journey to the West, a famous Chinese fantasy, derange various borders and allegorical concepts. To view Vizenor’s text in the light of Lyotard’s theories of the petit narrative, the sublime and the fantasy pedagogy, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari’s theories of becoming and the line of flight, and Gisela Brinker-Gabler’s theory of travel to encounter others reveals how Vizenor configures petit narratives and their ‘flight’ from diverse existing constraints. The protagonist Griever situated in-between serving as a de-constructive pivot of multi-layered, multi-dimensional narratives, presenting the under-developed China in parallel with American Indian reservations and comparing the legendary Chinese monkey king with a post-indian trickster, helps the readers to step back and get liberated from their own reality and cure.
