  • Living Sideways: Social Themes and Social Relationships in Native American Trickster Tales

    Franchot BallingerARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1989References: 2

    I'JN A TOLERATED MARGIN OF MESS: The Trickster and his Tales IReconsidered, Barbara Babcock-Abrahams argues that Trickster stories represent the fundamental contradiction between the individual and society, freedom and constraint, and the ambivalence the contradiction raises in the individual.' In much recent Trickster writing, this equation has been developed by emphasizing Trickster as the creatively antinomian overreacher transgressing the art…

  • Sacred Reversals: "Trickster in Gerald Vizenor's "Earthdivers: Tribal Narratives on Mixed Descent

    Franchot Ballinger, Gerald VizenorARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1985Cited by: 1

    ARTHDIVERS, says Gerald Vizenor at beginning of Earthdivers: Tribal Narratives on Mixed Descent (1981), is imaginative metaphor. The vehicle for this metaphor is a culture hero (sometimes trickster, like Wenebojo Ojibwe story Vizenor cites his preface) found extensively native American myth. This figure directs animals to dive into great flood until one finally returns with grains of dirt from which hero magically creates present earth mass. The …

  • A Matter of Emphasis: Teaching the "Literature" in Native American Literature Courses

    Open AccessFranchot BallingerARTICLEAmerican Indian Culture and…1984

    At one time I customarily introduced my Native American literature course with a quotation from The Autobiography of A Papago Woman. After singing a brief ceremonial song, Maria Chona, the subject, says, "The song is very short because we understand so much." Seeing such cultural ellipses manifested variously in Native American literature, I proceeded to teach as if the major attractions of such compositions were the challenge of decoding cultura…

  • The Responsible Center: Man and Nature in Pueblo and Navaho Ritual Songs and Prayers

    Open AccessFranchot BallingerARTICLEAmerican Quarterly1978Cited by: 1

    IN HIS ESSAY, AMERICAN INDIAN SONGS, KENNETH REXROTH CONTRASTS the Native American view of man's relationship with nature and the Western European view: the Native American, he says, identifies self and other, man and nature, while the European sees man as a permanent factor in a perishing world and the sole source of its value, asserting thus his separateness.' What Rexroth does not acknowledge, however, is that in the Native American view man d…
