Section Info:
"Decolonial Love in Indigenous Literature and Theory": Drawing on the writing of such authors as Leanne Simpson, Annie Ross, Billy-Ray Belcourt, Tommy Pico, Tanya Tagaq, Marie Clements, and Tanaya Winder, this seminar explores representations of "decolonial love" in Indigenous literary and scholarly texts. In the archive assembled for the course, decolonial love may describe intimate bonds between people; it may also involve the embracing of two-spirit or Indigiqueer identity, or the claiming of kinship connections that defy the privatization of intimacy and forms of social reproduction characterizing settler-colonial life. Decolonial love not only describes love between people but also love of place, lands, and more-than-human worlds. These expansions to Junot Diaz's original iteration of decolonial love will serve as a centerpiece of the seminar, which further asks what kind of reparative relationships is academic dialogue capable of building.
