Section Title:
Fires of Memory
Section Info:
Fires of Memory: The Power of Personal Storytelling in Indigenous America Stories can be literal caches of remembering, so that dream, history, or mythic elemnets have a place to live until they are refreshed into being by speaking, or by reaidng. We will consider how earthscape, generation, and individual personhood generate meaning. We will consider the power of memory, even memory as a living being. There will be two tracks through the course, one designed for undergraduates and another, more rigorous one, for graduate studetns. There will be a creative non-fiction writing option, or an essay option. For permission to register, contact John McKinn in the American Indian Studies office.
