Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Native American writer Gerald Vizenor uses the figure of the trickster as an affirmation of a genetically and textually hybrid, postmodern literary identity. A subversion of both mainstream discourse and idealized visions of the Indian, the trickster is a figure of figuration, a ?holotrope? mediating between oral and written forms of communication. The status of such ethnic postmodernism remains problematic: does it transcend ethnic literature or is it a new formulation of identity politics?
