In this article I offer a culture-specific and narrative-focused contribution to the current theory of resilience – which is gaining relevance in Indigenous studies in general and Native American studies in particular – based on an analysis of “Women in the Fracklands”, by Métis US writer and professor Toni Jensen. * This autobiographical essay, originally published in 2017, became the starting piece of Carry: A Memoir of Stolen Land (2020), a memoir-in-essays composed of sixteen sections which weave personal narrative with history to draw a map of violence in Ameri-ca. It is mostly focused on contemporary gun violence, but also includes family and workplace violence, mass shootings, women’s rape, trafficking and murder, as well as the ongoing history of exploitation of Indigenous peoples and lands. The author, born and raised in rural Iowa, mentions her Irish descent and identifies as Métis through her paternal line (2020, 175). On interview, she has vindicated the presence of Métis people in the US, where she grew without literary role models until she read Louise Erdrich in her twenties (Smith 2021). The situation of the Métis people, or the mixture of an Indigenous tribe with French – sometimes Irish or Scots Irish – trappers and traders, is very different in Canada – her family is originally from Al-berta (Smith 2021) – where they have been a government recognized Indigenous group since 1982. Although she embraces a positive cultural connection to her late grandmother and the memory of her care, songs and stories, the narrator’s relation to her parents – especially her violent Métis father – is complicated, to say the least. Jensen’s identification as Indigenous
在这篇文章中，我基于美国作家兼Toni Jensen教授对《荒原上的妇女》的分析，对当前的适应力理论做出了一种文化特定的、以叙事为重点的贡献。适应力理论在一般的土著研究中，尤其是在美洲土著研究中越来越有意义。*这篇自传体文章最初发表于2017年，成为《Carry:被盗土地回忆录》(Carry: A Memoir of Stolen Land, 2020)的开头部分。《Carry: A Memoir of Stolen Land》由16个部分组成，将个人叙述与历史编织在一起，描绘出美国的暴力地图。它主要关注当代枪支暴力，但也包括家庭和工作场所暴力、大规模枪击、妇女强奸、贩运和谋杀，以及剥削土著人民和土地的持续历史。作者在爱荷华州农村出生和长大，提到了她的爱尔兰血统，并通过她的父系认定她为姆萨梅斯(2020,175)。在接受采访时，她证明了美国存在着“姆萨梅斯族”。在美国，她在成长过程中没有文学榜样，直到20多岁时读到了路易丝·厄德里奇(Louise Erdrich)的作品(Smith 2021)。msamutis人，或者是土著部落与法国人(有时是爱尔兰人或苏格兰爱尔兰人)的混合体，他们是捕猎者和商人，在加拿大的情况非常不同-她的家人最初来自Al-berta (Smith 2021) -自1982年以来，他们一直是政府认可的土著群体。尽管她与已故的祖母有着积极的文化联系，并回忆起她的照料、歌曲和故事，但叙述者与她父母的关系——尤其是她暴力的父亲——至少可以说是复杂的。詹森作为土著人的身份认同

Affective bibliotherapy is a practice which “uses fiction to help the reader connect to emotional experiences and human situations through the process of identifica-tion” (Shechtman 2009, 21). Readers identify with the emotions and experiences of characters, following them on their journey to overcome obstacles and challenges. The author of this article works within a third sector organization that uses affective bibliotherapy in schools as a preventative measure for young people to learn resilience coping mechanisms and skills in order to help them navigate difficult developmental transitions and life experiences. This paper addresses the challenges of selecting literature for such programs. This type of resilience literature often refers to “a heterogenous set of creations”; for example, the fairy tales of Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm (Reyzábal 2014, 121). Such literature foregrounds the “Hero’s Journey” trajectory that moves through a predictable, developmental arc: an exposition (resting position), which is then interrupted by an obstacle to be overcome, followed by the highest point of tension in which one must act in the face of adversity (the climax), before finding resolution when transformation or healing is successfully achieved. This arc can prove extremely useful for bibliotherapy in that it views resilience as a replicable process and ensures that participants gain a transferrable resilience toolkit, e.g. problem-solving techniques, critical thinking, and assertive communication. Yet, a simplistic linear model that achieves a predictable outcome is inadequate on its own for understanding the complexities of real lives. Whilst the aforementioned arc is apolitical and privileges an image of resilience in which “an essential, relatively stable and evolving self develops a chronologically appropriate and coherent biography”, there is a need to utilize literature that exposes how these types of stories repress and exclude difference (Aranda et al. 2012, 551

The Solemn Lantern Maker by Filipina-Australian author Merlinda Bobis challenges and criticizes hegemonic racist and sexist capitalist tenets sustaining militarized globalization in the aftermath of the attacks in New York on September 11, 2001. Pub-lished in Australia in 2008 and in the USA in 2009, the action takes us to the megalop-olis of Manila, moving back and forth from the misery of the slums to the luxurious hotels for foreign tourists or the consumerist Christmas frenzy in “the largest shop-ping center in Asia” (Bobis 2008, 89). The narrative addresses tough realities such as extreme poverty, the prostitution of children, police brutality and political corruption, and it puts these apparently Philippine matters in direct relation to globalization and its war on terror . With its recurrent refrain “ I know a story you don’t know ”, the novel exposes epistemic violence and belongs with those stories that “inquire after the miss-ing, the deported, the detained, the de-remembered, and the dead” (Dauphinee and Masters 2007, viii).
菲律宾裔澳大利亚作家梅琳达·波比斯的《庄严的灯笼制造者》挑战并批判了在2001年9月11日纽约恐怖袭击后维持军事化全球化的霸权主义、种族主义和性别歧视的资本主义信条。该书于2008年在澳大利亚出版，2009年在美国出版，将我们带到了马尼拉的特大城市，从贫民窟的苦难到外国游客的豪华酒店或“亚洲最大的购物中心”的消费主义圣诞节狂热(Bobis 2008, 89)。故事讲述了极端贫困、儿童卖淫、警察暴行和政治腐败等严峻现实，并将这些明显的菲律宾问题与全球化及其反恐战争直接联系起来。随着“我知道一个你不知道的故事”的反复出现，小说揭露了认知暴力，并属于那些“询问失踪者，被驱逐者，被拘留者，被遗忘者和死者”的故事(Dauphinee and Masters 2007, viii)。

The Irish-Canadian writer Emma Donoghue (born in Dublin in 1969) is known for her award-winning novels, among them the acclaimed Room (2010), together with historical fiction that explores late-Victorian times and lives. In The Wonder (2016), an English nurse is sent to the Irish Midlands in the 1850s – a land rav-aged by famine and poverty – to watch over a fasting girl, Anna O’Donnell, whose parents claim she is living without any food. Trained by Florence Nightingale herself during the Crimean war, Lib is torn between her duty as a hired nurse and her growing concern for the child, leading to consequences that will alter the lives of both. Although still lacking scholarly attention, The Pull of the Stars (2020) shares important elements with the previous novel. Set in 1918, it evokes the havoc caused by the Great Flu and the Great War in Dublin, while it describes three days in a maternity quarantine ward where nurse Julia, Dr. Lynn, and a young volunteer named Bridie struggle to keep their patients alive, at the same time they find it increasingly hard to remain detached from them and from each other.
