초록

In this globalized socio-cultural space, the decrease in the traditional rigidity of the borders of nation-state and the increase in exchange of both human and economic across the territorial boundaries, have changed the modern concepts of race, nation, and state. And also, hibridity, which supposes the translation between cultures without hierarchy, has become the essential condition, regarded as the positive direction of the globalization. Globalization and hybridity, however, are not necessarily positive socio-cultural phenomena for the people who had large experience of colonial period as well as for the local minorities. Those phenomena are cultural homogenization stemmed from the neocolonial intention of neoliberalism for its political, economic and cultural dominance. So, some claims that they need to be reconsidered in the historical and realistic contexts in order to readjust globalization and hybridity generally directed by dominant culture. Silko’s Ceremony, although regarded as ‘ahistorical’ by most critics, deconstructs the modern concept of nation in the historical and realistic contexts and tries to reconstruct that of new community based on the ‘indigenous consciousness’ of native Americans. And it re-exams the hybridity discourse that excludes cultural essentialism, disclosing the real meaning of the mixed blood as a symbol of cultural hybridity. Silko’s new community based on the indigenous consciousness is important in globalized and post-national space, because it can be identified with the local, especially indigenous local as the new community that can resist to the wrong-directed globalization. Beginning in Ceremony, the concern for the indigenous local has continued in her later works, Almanac of the Dead and Gardens in the Dunes. Therefore, Silko needs to be reestablished as a contemporary writer who realizes the neocolonial aspect of globalization as well as that of multiculturalism and tries to search the alternative globalization against it.

Abstract

In this globalized socio-cultural space, the decrease in the traditional rigidity of the borders of nation-state and the increase in exchange of both human and economic across the territorial boundaries, have changed the modern concepts of race, nation, and state. And also, hibridity, which supposes the translation between cultures without hierarchy, has become the essential condition, regarded as the positive direction of the globalization. Globalization and hybridity, however, are not necessarily positive socio-cultural phenomena for the people who had large experience of colonial period as well as for the local minorities. Those phenomena are cultural homogenization stemmed from the neocolonial intention of neoliberalism for its political, economic and cultural dominance. So, some claims that they need to be reconsidered in the historical and realistic contexts in order to readjust globalization and hybridity generally directed by dominant culture. Silko’s Ceremony, although regarded as ‘ahistorical’ by most critics, deconstructs the modern concept of nation in the historical and realistic contexts and tries to reconstruct that of new community based on the ‘indigenous consciousness’ of native Americans. And it re-exams the hybridity discourse that excludes cultural essentialism, disclosing the real meaning of the mixed blood as a symbol of cultural hybridity. Silko’s new community based on the indigenous consciousness is important in globalized and post-national space, because it can be identified with the local, especially indigenous local as the new community that can resist to the wrong-directed globalization. Beginning in Ceremony, the concern for the indigenous local has continued in her later works, Almanac of the Dead and Gardens in the Dunes. Therefore, Silko needs to be reestablished as a contemporary writer who realizes the neocolonial aspect of globalization as well as that of multiculturalism and tries to search the alternative globalization against it.
