This essay purposes to point out, based on the Buddhist theory of Panca-skandha(five aggregates), the nothingness of cultural identity stereotyping the solar dancers and the other native Americans in Gerald Vizenor’s Chancers . The solar dancers’ fundermental nativism results from the fallacy of perception, will and consciousness, above all other aggregates. As Vizenor claims, however, their never-changing cultural belief was typified by the white colonialists’ desire for domination. A main character, Peter(Round Dance) subverts the solar dancers’ cultural value by letting them realize its emptiness. In doing so, Round Dance deconstructs the value of five aggregates without privileging perception, will and consciousness over form and feelings. He subverts some particular aggregates by reinscribing the other particular ones without extrapolating any theory or belief. In doing so, his love- making is a practice of cultural deconstruction. By criticizing the fixity of Native American cultural value in this novel, Vizenor intends to invalidate ‘Indianess’ which was set up by the white and promote to enliven the native culture, letting it actively involve interdependent cultural exchange in the present world. Therefore, it is fairly said that his message in the novel is not rejecting the native culture but reinvigorating it.
Abstract
This essay purposes to point out, based on the Buddhist theory of Panca-skandha(five aggregates), the nothingness of cultural identity stereotyping the solar dancers and the other native Americans in Gerald Vizenor’s Chancers . The solar dancers’ fundermental nativism results from the fallacy of perception, will and consciousness, above all other aggregates. As Vizenor claims, however, their never-changing cultural belief was typified by the white colonialists’ desire for domination. A main character, Peter(Round Dance) subverts the solar dancers’ cultural value by letting them realize its emptiness. In doing so, Round Dance deconstructs the value of five aggregates without privileging perception, will and consciousness over form and feelings. He subverts some particular aggregates by reinscribing the other particular ones without extrapolating any theory or belief. In doing so, his love- making is a practice of cultural deconstruction. By criticizing the fixity of Native American cultural value in this novel, Vizenor intends to invalidate ‘Indianess’ which was set up by the white and promote to enliven the native culture, letting it actively involve interdependent cultural exchange in the present world. Therefore, it is fairly said that his message in the novel is not rejecting the native culture but reinvigorating it.
