摘要
随着美国印第安文学创作与研究的日渐成熟,美国学术界需要从学术成规、知识体系和学科结构方面对其进行归类和评估。但在知识化、学科化和机构化过程中,美国印第安文学批评也面临传统学科内部诸多的知识误区。围绕土著身份话语的争论构成了该领域内部的张力,导致明显的派系化倾向,知识体系的整合和建构越来越成为一个政治问题,制约着该领域未来的发展和走向。本文讨论三个问题:一、美国印第安人研究的知识化、学科化和机构化问题;二、美国印第安文学批评中的派系化倾向;三、美国学界研究策略的变化,视点的转移和未来走向。
As American Indian studies evolves, there is an increasing need to assess its status in terms of academic conventions, knowledge system and disciplinary structure. However, the effort to systematize this rather contested field of knowledge constitutes a project with high stakes, the most serious of which being the debate surrounding the identity discourse of tribal communities. Issues concerning knowledge formation, discipline construction, and institutionalization of the field are taut with political tension which determines its future development. The present paper addresses three issues: the discursive formation of American Indian Studies as an academic discipline, factionalization of the field and its problems, and, the shift of research focus and new trends in American Indian studies.
