초록
This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of Gary Snyder’s poems from Turtle Island as well as essays from his monographs, including The Practice of the Wild and A Place in Space, to examine how these works intersect with Native American ecology. The central focus is on comprehensive ecological perspectives and ecocommunal life, in which humans and nature form a network of interdependence and symbiosis. Furthermore, to establish that Snyder’s poetry and ecopoetics resonate with the cosmos and ecology of Native Americans, particularly the Pueblo and Navajo peoples of the American Southwest, this paper discusses the writings of prominent Pueblo writers such as Simon J. Ortiz and Leslie M. Silko, whose ideas and perspectives are similar to those of Snyder. First, this paper describes the ways in which Snyder’s central ideas of “bioregionalism” and “nativeness” intersect with Native peoples’ sense of place, analyzing poems focused on the images of “Anasazi” and “Coyote.” Second, through analyses of poems centered on the concepts of “people” and “interdependence,” it demonstrates how the oral traditions and hunting rituals of the aforementioned Native peoples critically addresses the contemporary US in terms of environmental degradation, the climate crisis, and the so-called Anthropocene.
