초록
This paper examines how Linda Hogan's Solar Storms presents the protagonist’s growth as a thematic message. Angel, the protagonist of the novel, grows through ecological feminist awakening to the tribal community and natural environment to which he belongs. The fact that Angel's growth has an ecological feminist trend has various meanings. The process of mental and physical growth is a difficult way to establish an individual's identity. Angel acquires the growth of the mind, but this growth of the mind is not limited to the individual's realm. She realizes that the history of violence that she and her female ancestors suffered coincides with the history of the oppression that nature suffered, and that the dominant white culture is the culprit of this simultaneous repression. It is also pointed out that personal growth narrative accompanies the political domain narrative. In the novel, Angel establishes her identity while she realizes environmental ethical justice through the struggle against dam construction. Angel’s growth predicts the emergence of a new generation who appeals to her responsibility for the society to which she belongs and the natural environment surrounding that society. The hope for the future represented by Angel is complete with the belief that all life is interdependently connected, and Hogan expands the realm of healing from Angel to a family of five generations, from a family to an indigenous community, and further into the natural environment of James Bay. The novel engraves the meaning of growth in a multi-layered dimension. The ecology of growth seen in Solar Storm shows the ecological feminist aspect and draws the coordinates of hope for the growth of individuals, tribal communities, and society.
Abstract
This paper examines how Linda Hogan's Solar Storms presents the protagonist’s growth as a thematic message. Angel, the protagonist of the novel, grows through ecological feminist awakening to the tribal community and natural environment to which he belongs. The fact that Angel's growth has an ecological feminist trend has various meanings. The process of mental and physical growth is a difficult way to establish an individual's identity. Angel acquires the growth of the mind, but this growth of the mind is not limited to the individual's realm. She realizes that the history of violence that she and her female ancestors suffered coincides with the history of the oppression that nature suffered, and that the dominant white culture is the culprit of this simultaneous repression. It is also pointed out that personal growth narrative accompanies the political domain narrative. In the novel, Angel establishes her identity while she realizes environmental ethical justice through the struggle against dam construction. Angel’s growth predicts the emergence of a new generation who appeals to her responsibility for the society to which she belongs and the natural environment surrounding that society. The hope for the future represented by Angel is complete with the belief that all life is interdependently connected, and Hogan expands the realm of healing from Angel to a family of five generations, from a family to an indigenous community, and further into the natural environment of James Bay. The novel engraves the meaning of growth in a multi-layered dimension. The ecology of growth seen in Solar Storm shows the ecological feminist aspect and draws the coordinates of hope for the growth of individuals, tribal communities, and society.
