Reading representations of Native presence and absence

Gerald Vizenor’s work of literary criticism examines how textual and graphic depictions shape perceptions of Native peoples. Its central concern is the contrast between representations that frame Native life through victimhood, tragedy, and nostalgia and the presence those images leave out. The book offers a critical lens on the aesthetics and assumptions behind familiar portrayals, keeping questions of representation at the forefront.

Book overview

Native peoples today are best known through their fugitive poses: textual and graphic depictions steeped in a modernist aesthetic of romantic victimry, tragedy, and nostalgia. In Fugitive Poses Gerald Vizenor argues that such representations celebrate the absence rather than the presence of the Native.
