Enunciation as Decolonial Knowledge
With her poetry volume "Whereas", Oglala Lakota poet Layli Long Soldier eloquently responds to the 2009 congressional apology to all American Indians. The poet / persona privileges her own perspective on the past and the present by positioning herself as more than a silent recipient of the congressional document. Emphasizing the interrelatedness of land and other spaces, individual positionalities, personal relations, and the impact of language(s…
The Cultural Ecology of Alaskan Indigenous Hip Hop
In hip-hop studies, Indigenous rap music has been garnering increasing attention alongside other non-mainstream manifestations of this ‘glocal’ genre, and the field has begun to address the significance of specific locales for artistic expression. Worried about environmental studies research that extracts ecological insights from Indigenous cultures without paying attention to colonial history, Indigenous scholars have been critiquing how non-Ind…

Strategic Visuals in Hip-Hop Life Writing
Autobiographies as well as rap lyrics have been misconstrued by authenticity-oriented reading practices that disregard the fact that they are aesthetic constructs. Much hip-hop life writing published since the 1990s modifies elements prominent in American autobiographical traditions, thus embedding itself within the mainstream while simultaneously adjusting dominant rags-to-riches or triumph-over-odds trajectories to the socioeconomic predicament…
The Pleasures and Pitfalls of Naming in Vladimir Nabokov's Stories
True to his aesthetic principles, Nabokov expresses his love for detail in imaginative naming strategies. The conspicuous absence of names as well as the deliberate use of multilingual names constitute an important facet of his short fiction. Nabokov challenges the reader to differentiate between names that evoke stereotypes and names whose etymology assumes significance, between the purposes of supposedly real names and of appellations admittedl…
