MULTIVOCALITY, STORYTELLING AND THE DISRUPTIVE VOICE OF FEMININITY IN LESLIE MARMON SILKO’S CEREMONY

Abstract

Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony is a Native American novel about the psychological disorder of Tayo and his ceremony for recovery through native stories and tribal ways. In the manner of magical realism, Silko incorporates native stories into the novel and presents Native American culture and stories as vital factors in the dissemination and ‘de-centralization’ of the ruling white culture. Though the main character of the novel is male, female figures, both human and mythical, play a crucial role in this dissemination because they lie at the heart of Indian American Laguna culture and stories. Spinning stories, as in Western culture, is presented as a female act and the female mythical figures in the stories play a central role in Tayo’s ceremony. Relying on Bakhtin’s idea of dialogism and the disseminating role of another’s word in authoritative discourses, this paper aims to study how the Indian American Laguna culture disseminates and decentralizes the white authoritative discourse with its stories and how another’s word emerges as feminine voice in the novel.
