초록
Reading the native American writer, Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead, this study discusses the meaning of oral tradition and storytelling and the direction of the environmental ethics. Throughout her works, Silko also places a firm emphasis on the importance of oral tradition and storytelling, attempting to realize its characteristics in her writing. In reading Almanac of the Dead, I seek to use the tools of remapping as storytelling. The use of remapping to examine in Almanac of the Dead reveals that Silko proposes Native American values, which place the earth at the heart of their world view, as a substitute to the false Euro-American ideology. She implies throughout the story that the eco-vision for humankind and the natural environment, and thus the ecocommunity as a whole, are suffering from an absence of ecological justice. The solution, she proposes, is to rehabilitate the Native American identity and reliability for society to incorporate the world that lies within the reality of mythology by adapting the Mayan almanac and map as a source of the traditional form of Native American oral storytelling. The essence of Silko’s argument regarding this environmental ethics lies in her belief that human beings are no longer at the core of any value or meaning in our world, but that the world is an organism: every living being is dependent on one another and mutually effect not only one another, but the ecocommunity as a whole. She believes that the human and nonhuman nature relationship should be dealt with a moral issue conditioned by ethics, which is the essence of the Native American world view as well as the ecocommunity.
Abstract
Reading the native American writer, Leslie Marmon Silko’s Almanac of the Dead, this study discusses the meaning of oral tradition and storytelling and the direction of the environmental ethics. Throughout her works, Silko also places a firm emphasis on the importance of oral tradition and storytelling, attempting to realize its characteristics in her writing. In reading Almanac of the Dead, I seek to use the tools of remapping as storytelling. The use of remapping to examine in Almanac of the Dead reveals that Silko proposes Native American values, which place the earth at the heart of their world view, as a substitute to the false Euro-American ideology.
