The Boundary Crossing and Cosmopolitanism of Indigenous Art:A Case Study of Gerald Vizenor's Novel Blue Ravens
The boundary crossing of art serves not only as a cross-cultural exchange but also as an exhibition of aesthetic politics.In his novel Blue Ravens,Gerald Vizenor approaches from the perspectives of artistic trans-boundary,so that he recreates the changes in indigenous artistic thoughts amidst trans-boundary flows,demonstrates the adaptability and vitality of indigenous art in the process of globalization,and highlights its ability to uphold its unique cultural inheritance while embracing external influences.Vizenor,in his course of writing about universal humanity in transnational wars,of advocating for cross-cultural dialogue in transatlantic exchanges,and of constructing artistic discourse in the global nature of art,consistently highlights his refusal to conform to the stereotypical creeds and rigid colonial imagination of Western colonizers.He insists on the independence,flexibility,and diversity of indigenous art creation,confidently and resolutely breaking free from the hegemony of racist and colonialist discourses.
