Laughter's Truths
For Hurston and Ellison in laughter as for Mikhail Bakhtin in dialogue, every sounding includes and anticipates a response, revealing the “whole life” of a person or a nation. Hurston's and Ellison's presentation of humor also sharpens the conflictual nature of open-ended dialogue, presenting anger and aggression as an explicit aspect of humor. Challenging Dexter Gordon's suggestion that African American humor is “always making visible the invisi…
Da decolonizing real
Joe Balaz’s Pidgin Eye (2019), which collects 35 years of poetry written in Creole English, referred to in Hawai’i as Pidgin, uses liberating humour to claim decolonizing realities, unsettling colonial myths that indigenous sovereignty has been subsumed or destroyed. The collection vaunts ways of knowing and being embodied by a language that has often been dismissed, like other creoles, as “corrupt and bastardized”. “History of Pigeon”, the openi…
Humour as indigenous liberation
The novel Kisses in the Nederends, by the Tongan writer Epeli Hauʻofa, uses humour and a revised tātatau to reach an unusual new indigeneity. Moving past human fears and taboos is possible thanks to a tattooed anus, which leads from behind to create a non-violent revolution for world peace. Hauʻofa plays with the classic tātatau of Tonga – a sacred, full-body tattoo – reducing it to a single anal mark that expands exponentially to include Oceania…
Tattooing the World
In the 1830s an Irishman named James F. O'Connell acquired a full-body tattoo while living as a castaway in the Pacific. The tattoo featured traditional patterns that, to native Pohnpeians, defined O'Connell's life; they made him wholly human. Yet upon traveling to New York, these markings singled him out as a freak. His tattoos frightened women and children, and ministers warned their congregations that viewing O'Connell's markings would cause t…
Engendering Melville
Engendering Melville juniper Ellis Given scholars' recent attention to hypermasculinity in the works of such figures as Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, and Norman Mailer, it is tempting to believe that the relationship between certain presentations of masculinity and of U.S. literature have been adequately identified. Americanists will remain indebted to foundational works like Nancy R. Comley and Robert Scholes's Hemingway's Genders (1994), but s…
