PhD Candidate: Apocalypticism in Contemporary Indigenous Literatures: Ways of Knowing the End of Times

4 weken geleden

Nijmegen, Nederland Radboud University Voltijd

We offer you the opportunity to develop and carry out your own PhD project within the areas of expertise of your supervisors: Dr Laura M. De Vos, Dr Chris Cusack, Prof. Marguérite Corporaal, and Dr Mathilde Roza. The project will be funded by a Starters Grant from the Faculty of Arts awarded to Dr Laura De Vos and Dr Chris Cusack.

The notion of apocalypse remains a central heuristic for making sense of crisis. Cataclysm, however, is not by definition an equaliser, as demonstrated by the inequitable impact of the climate emergency and epidemic disease, the enduring legacies of colonialism, and the often-localised manifestation of geopolitical conflict through war, displacement, and hunger. The project we invite you to propose will seek to highlight this by exploring the notion that one group’s (self-claimed) golden age might be another’s end times.

Indigenous peoples around the world have been decimated by the operations of (settler) colonialism, which reduced many populations by 90% or more and displaced or even erased entire cultures and languages. As a result of this ’settler apocalypse’, Lawrence Gross has suggested, many Indigenous communities suffer from ’Postapocalyptic Stress Syndrome’ (Gross 2014: 33). At the same time, the cultural memory of apocalypse can also figure as a productive instrument for exploring and defining identities.

For this project, you are invited to consider together fields such as Indigenous Studies, Environmental Humanities, Postcolonial Studies, Settler Colonial Studies, and American Studies, through literary studies methods. Your project will focus on authors from the United States, Canada, New Zealand, and/or Australia, for instance Louise Erdrich, Waubgeshig Rice, Siku Allooloo, and/or Alexis Wright. It will examine how texts by authors with different Indigenous positionalities and perspectives engage with and narrativise past, present, and/or future experiences and figurations of apocalypse. Moreover, your project will explore how they resist, interrogate and intervene in contemporary eschatological discourses, which often engage with or co-opt Indigenous ways of being and knowing.

As such, you are also invited to consider meta-critical questions about the interrelation of the considered fields and the critical concerns of the field of Apocalypse Studies. Among other things, your project could focus on a critical analysis of the issue of genre, epistemologies of ’the End’, the role of the more-than-human in anglophone Indigenous apocalypse literature, and the interrelation between such writing and environmental or other social movements on the ground.
