Current Native American Literature and Art: The resignification of a new esthetic, political and cultural border
Abstract
This work maintains that current Native American literary and artistic productions are the sensitive expression of a new continental geopolitical identity, one that emerges connected to the recovery of a collective cultural and historical memory, to the value of diversity and to the recognition of and claim on ancestral knowledge and territories. This complex process is oriented to resignifying a cultural mapping prior to the colonial, branched off from the Latin American sociocultural and political process, giving rise to “another” continental movement.
From an esthetic and decolonial perspective, I propose a systemic view of the current indigenous literary and artistic process, and I describe in representative works the emergence of this new post-colonial and border awareness fighting for its esthetic, political and epistemic autonomy.
