Abstract

Abstract:

In operation for over a century, the Indian Residential School system is a painful part of Canadian history. Through the theoretical approaches to pain envisioned by Elaine Scarry, Javier Moscoso, and Ilit Ferber, this article examines how the pain of residential school experiences manifests as silence among residential school survivors. Through a close analysis of narratives that break free from that silence, it becomes apparent that narrative offers one path to national reconciliation. While arguing in favor of narrative as a path towards national reconciliation, this article cautions readers against reducing residential school narratives to a form of trauma spectatorship.

加拿大寄宿学校之痛:沉默与叙事分析
摘要:运作了一个多世纪的印第安寄宿学校制度是加拿大历史上痛苦的一部分。本文通过伊莱恩-斯卡瑞(Elaine Scarry)、哈维尔-莫斯科索(Javier Moscoso)和伊利特-费伯(Ilit Ferber)设想的痛苦理论方法,研究了寄宿学校经历的痛苦如何在寄宿学校幸存者中表现为沉默。通过对摆脱沉默的叙事进行仔细分析,我们发现叙事为民族和解提供了一条途径。本文在支持将叙事作为实现民族和解的途径的同时,告诫读者不要将寄宿学校叙事简化为一种创伤旁观形式。
