Abstract (en)
Doctoral thesis The collective representations of minority groups in
the culture and literature of colonial America deals with the
collective representations of minority groups perpetuated via
literature and culture of the first English thirteen colonies in colonial
North America. Starting from the socio-psychological premise that
collective representations are common values, beliefs, symbols and
practices perpetuated through culture and anthropological research of
intergroup relations, representations of minority groups in literature
and culture are viewed as images of colonial Others. Considerations
of minority groups and intergroup relations in sociology and
anthropology are linked with the postcolonial and psychoanalytical
idea of otherness as pivotal in the process of identity formation. Since
minority groups are viewed as collective Other in literature and
culture, theoretical background of postcolonial studies and orientalism
is used to highlight Othering and other representational practices.
Images of Other in the literature of colonial America are also viewed
from the point of view of imagology which means that both fiction
and non-fiction texts are considered, while also taking into
consideration their purpose and historical and cultural contexts from
which they originated. The corpus includes fiction and non-fiction,
legal and other formal documents, paintings, engravings and other
works of art and artifacts from the period of discovery and
explorations, as well as the works of the English colonists in North
America until the establishment of the independent USA and its
national literature. The aspects of minority group collective
representations that are considered are: reductionism, hierarchical
ordering, degradation and continuity. Representations vary from
extremely negative to extremely positive ones and most of them are
reductionist, based on hierarchical ordering, degrading for minority
group members and have proven to be resilient over a long period of
time. The inference can be made that the images of others have often
also been the images of the dominant group because the ascribed
negative characteristics of minorities are defined as the opposites of
the dominant identity traits. A negative image of the Other is often a
positive self-image, which may account for the tendency of the
dominant group in colonial America to perpetuate mostly negative
images of minority group members in literature and culture.
