Abstract

Cet ouvrage pose deux question relatives aux "matières de l'Ouest" : (1) S'est-il façonné en Europe une imagination propre des Grands Espaces et, si oui, quelles en furent les principales options éthiques, esthétiques et narratives ? (2) Qu'est-ce qui singularise les thèmes, les intrigues et les personnages privilégiés de cette écriture européenne par rapport à l'imagerie - surexploitée depuis Hollywood - impliquant le cow-boy, le shérif, ou encore les squatters et settlers de la Conquête de l'Ouest ? Le couple wilderness/western - mobilisé ici à des fins dialectiques et non dualistes - débroussaille quelques-unes des pistes herméneutiques d'une production romanesque méconnue. En s'appuyant sur un sous-genre pour ainsi dire oublié du récit aventureux du XIXe siècle, l'auteur explore les visages d'un Ouest fictionnel qui, grâce au recul européen, a su se parer d'intéressants lieux d'indépendance et de dynamiques insoupçonnées. Dans l'intervalle entre le wilderness, univers agrégeant l'hygiénisme libertin des Lumières et le spiritualisme romantique, et le western, imaginaire de l'allant national, modelé par et pour l'autonomisation culturelle des USA, mais aussi sous l'effet d'un tiraillement souterrain entre l'exemple colonial français et la Conquête pionnière de l'Ouest, ce sont des oppositions, des débats et des mélanges du plus haut intérêt qui se firent jour dans la France et l'Italie de 1858-1910. Les romans de Gustave Aimard et Emilio Salgari interviennent dans ce contexte, quoiqu'à des titres très différents (l'un grand consolidateur générique, l'autre compositeur original et articulateur d'imaginaires), comme les jalons d'une histoire des formes appropriatives de l'espace-réceptacle ouestien. A bien des égards, un tel parcours ajoute ses sinuosités et ses enjeux spécifiques à l'historiographie strictement américaine : il y apparaît en effet

Abstract

Although much contemporary American Indian literature examines the relationship between humans and the land, most Native authors do not set their work in the "pristine wilderness" celebrated by Adamson challenges complacency throughout her book. . . . a truly innovative study that should be in all academic collections. —Choice Her persuasive and passionate arguments call her readers to awareness and responsibility. —ISLE Powerful and immensely readable. —Folklore mainstream nature writers. Instead, they focus on settings such as reservations, open-pit mines, and contested borderlands. Drawing on her own teaching experience among Native Americans and on lessons learned from such recent scenes of confrontation as Chiapas and Black Mesa, Joni Adamson explores why what counts as "nature" is often very different for multicultural writers and activist groups than it is for mainstream environmentalists. This powerful book is one of the first to examine the intersections between literature and the environment from the perspective of the oppressions of race, class, gender, and nature, and the first to review American Indian literature from the standpoint of environmental justice and ecocriticism. By examining such texts as Sherman Alexie's short stories and Leslie Marmon Silko's novel Almanac of the Dead, Adamson contends that these works, in addition to being literary, are examples of ecological criticism that expand Euro-American concepts of nature and place. Adamson shows that when we begin exploring the differences that shape diverse cultural and literary representations of nature, we discover the challenge they present to mainstream American culture, environmentalism, and literature. By comparing the work of Native authors such as Simon Ortiz with that of environmental writers such as Edward Abbey, she reveals opportunities for more multicultural conceptions of nature and the environment. More than a work of literary criticism, this is a book about the search to find ways to understand our cultural and historical differences and similarities in order to arrive at a better agreement of what the human role in nature is and should be. It exposes the blind spots in early ecocriticism and shows the possibilities for building common ground— a middle place— where writers, scholars, teachers, and environmentalists might come together to work for social and environmental change.
