2. Modernism and Aboriginal Modernity: The Appropriation of Products of West Coast Native Heritage as National Goods.

Author

Willmott, Glenn

Subjects
*MODERNITY, *LITERATURE, *CANADIAN literature, *CANADIAN essays, *NORTH American literature
Abstract

Drawing upon recent anthropological scholarship for a general theory of production, exchange, and valuation, this essay seeks to understand cultural appropriation, in a consequential but not exclusive way, as an ambivalent process whereby the norms and practices of imperialist society may be challenged by modern writers whether of Native or non-Native heritage. The examples of Emily Cart, Marius Barbeau, and Pauline Johnson (Tekahionwake) here illuminate a basic set of relationships between modernism, imperialism, and nationalism.
