Consuming, Incarcerating, and “Transmoting” Misery: Border Practice in Vizenor’s Bearheart and Jones’s The Fast Red Road
Creators: name: Waegner, Cathy Covell
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2017

description: Drawing on Gerald Vizenor's complex notion of "transmotion" and concepts from carceral theory, an intertextual reading of two rich, initial novels by first and second-generation postmodern Native writers, namely Gerald Vizenor's seminal Bearheart: The Heirship Chronicles (1990; first published in 1978 as Darkness in Saint Louis Bearheart) and Stehen Graham Jones's The Fast Red Road: A Plainsong (2000), reveals both systemic miseries and strategies for combatting them. In the two novels, brutal imagery and experience of cannibalization, enclosure, and displacement menace the Native protagonists, but, paradoxically, these strong images also offer modes of resourceful and imaginative action - for my purposes here particularly at territorial borders - which enable totemic laughter and viable Native "survivance," to use Vizenor's own much-quoted term. Recent carceral theory tells us that the mapping of imprisonment must include a differentiated study of "practice" as well as of enclosed space and enforced borders (cf. Dominique Moran, 2015). Indeed, the border crossing in the two books at hand encodes centuries of discriminatory practice based on dangerously fixed stereotypes, demarcation of ethnic boundaries, and binary "terminal creeds" that Gerald Vizenor has always critiqued in his oeuvre. The miserable but epiphanic realization by Pidgin, one of Jones's protagonists, in yet another 'win-or-lose' trap that he "was consumed" (153) echoes on many levels in a synergetic analysis of the two experimental and engagé novels, which nonetheless demonstrate the creativity, transformation, convention defiance, the wisely grotesque clowning and trickery, the imagination involved in crafting and enabling Native transmotion.

description: In Südostasiens ältester Krisenregion – auf den südphilippinischen Inseln Mindanao, Basilan und Jolo – erweist sich die Suche nach einem tragfähigen Frieden als mühseliger Prozess. Noch am 27. Januar 2019 zeigte sich einmal mehr, wie volatil die Sicherheitslage in der Region ist, als in Folge zweier Bombenexplosionen im Zentrum von Jolo City 21 Menschen den Tod fanden und über 110 Verletzte zu beklagen waren. Angriffsziel des höchstwahrscheinlich von dschihadistischen, dem IS nahestehenden Selbstmordattentäter*innen verübten Verbrechens, war diesmal die Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cathedral, die römisch-katholische Kathedrale Unserer Lieben Frau auf dem Berge Karmel.
Native Pop: Bunky Echo-Hawk and Steven Paul Judd Subvert Star Wars
Creators: name: McLaughlin, Olena
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2017

description: Multiple Native American artists work in the genre of pop art as it holds an anticapitalist position and lends itself well to reaching a wider audience in a language familiar to many. This paper explores works of two contemporary Indigenous artists, Bunky Echo-Hawk (Pawnee/Yakama) and Steven Paul Judd (Kiowa/Choctaw), who are expanding the genre of Native pop art. In their works If Yoda Was an Indian and Hopi Princess Leia, they appropriate iconic images of Star Wars as a means to subvert popular culture, re-imagine what it means to be Indigenous in the 21st century, and create affirmative visualization of futurity for their respective communities. Through humorous and clever mashups of Star Wars characters and Indigenous visual languages, the artists explore the complex relationship between Indigenous peoples and film industry, defy stereotypical expectations of the mainstream audience about Native art, and create images that represent their personal experience with contemporaneity. By merging American pop culture with Native experiences, Echo-Hawk and Judd encourage multiple audiences to reconsider Native American history and position Indigenous peoples as active participants in the present.

The Mechanics of Survivance in Indigenously-Directed Video-Games: Invaders and Never Alone
Creators: name: Madsen, Deborah L
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2017

description: Survivance as a legal concept names the right to inheritance and more specifically the condition of being qualified to inherit a legacy. In an interview Jöelle Rostkowski, Vizenor explains: “[s]urvivance ... is the heritable right of succession or reversion of an estate.” This aspect of survivance is overlooked by those scholars of Vizenor's work who focus on the conjunction of the terms “survival” and “resistance”, terms that are important most fundamentally as they intersect with the capacity to transmit and to accept the inheritance of the past that is itself the intersection of survival and resistance. Survivance is not a static object or method but a dynamic condition of historical and cultural survival and also of political resistance, practiced in the continual readiness of Indigenous communities to accept and continue the inheritance passed on by elders and ancestors. In this sense, claims made by recent Indigenous video-game developers to speak to youth through digital media by providing games that transmit tribal legacies of language, stories, ontologies, and ways of knowing and being in the world, speak to the practice of survivance. Indeed, the particular capacity of video games to engage oral storytelling and active participation in the making of stories offers a powerful means to encourage and sustain survivance. This essay focuses on the analysis of video game mechanics: the rules of the game that determine the opportunities made possible for, and the limitations imposed upon, player interactivity. Vizenor's concept of survivance enhances understanding of the powerful decolonizing potential of mechanics in Indigenous video games and these game mechanics illustrate in particularly clear ways the workings of survivance as an active engagement in the politics of what Vizenor calls “native presence.” In the interview with Jöelle Rostkowski referenced above, Vizenor remarks: “The character of survivance creates a sense of native presence, a critical, active presence and resistance, over absence, historical and cultural absence, nihility and victimry.” This essay seeks to show how the sense of a critical, active Indigenous presence is created, by analyzing the mechanics of two different types of Indigenous digital games. Resistance to “historical and cultural absence, nihility and victimry” is explored through the 2-D fixed shooter arcade game Invaders (2015 Steven Paul Judd, Elizabeth LaPensée, Trevino Brings Plenty). The Iñupiat puzzle platformer video game Never Alone (2014 Upper One Games) enacts survivance as the epistemological practice of a living, tribal presence past, present, and future. In these digital games, mechanics are designed to compel players to enact survivance. Understanding this relationship underlines the importance of the decolonizing potential of Indigenous video games.

“Please mom? Can you please download it at home?”: Video Games as a Symbol of Linguistic Survivance
Creators: name: Lacho, David Dennison

Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2017

description: This article examines how the Splatsin Tsm7aksaltn (Splatsin Teaching Centre) of the Splatsin First Nation have decided to create a video game in order to revitalize their Secwepemc language and culture. The authors are part of a research team that are examining how to best include the Splatsin language and culture in this game. As such, a community meeting was held where parents and their stsmamlt (children) played video games such as Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (Never Alone). The parents and stsmamlt (children) identified strongly with the narrative, culture, and language presented in the video game. In this article the authors discuss that through the medium of a video game the stories of the Iñupiaq people were retold in the context of the community meeting, and the community members displayed agency in the game world through playing, observing, and commenting on the game. As such, the authors examine how video games can be a tool for cultural and language revitalization and how a video game can stand as a symbol of linguistic survivance.

With Sla’hal as an example, we look for ancestral philosophies informing old games that might be used today in development of new indigenous games of survivance and survivance games. Using indigenous pedagogies of Anishinaabe, Choctaw and Lushootseed speaking peoples, in addition to some of Vizenor’s theories, we modeled the content of this paper with playful formats to encourage readers to think about their own gaming practices. Beginning with story, we offer a bit of history, philosophy, visuals, a podcast transcript, and our system of Indigenous Game Tags to assist your creative understandings.

Transformations and Remembrances in the Digital Game We Sing for Healing
Creators: name: LaPensee, Elizabeth A
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2017

description: Digital games, with their capacity for expression and facilitating experience through code, design, art, and audio, offer spaces for Indigenous creatives to contribute to Gerald Vizenor’s characterization of survivance as an active sense of Native presence. Indigenous digital games can be acts of survivance both in the ways they are created as well as the resulting designs. We Sing for Healing is an experiment in developing an Indigenous digital game during limited Internet access that resulted in a musical choose-your-own adventure text game with design, art, and code by Anishinaabe, Métis, and Irish game developer Elizabeth LaPensée alongside music by Peguis First Nation mix artist Exquisite Ghost. The non-linear gameplay expresses traditional storytelling patterns while enabling players to poetically travel in, through, and around traditional teachings. The design uses listening, choosing, and revisiting to reinforce what is best described as a non-linear loopular journey.

Playing in the Digital Qargi: Iñupiat Gaming and Online Competition in Kisima Inŋitchuŋa
Creators: name: Meloche, Katherine
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2017

description: This article reads the online Iñupiat game Kisima Inŋitchuŋa (Never Alone) alongside traditional Inuit games. Games have been used to assert self-determination for Inuit communities for thousands of years and have continued to change to accommodate contemporary political and social needs. Games are tools to instill values and life-ways in camp-life and now articulate Inuit nationhood through international Arctic game competitions. The article argues argue that Never Alone reinterprets the values, experiences, and social structure of traditional Inuit competition for Iñupiaq communities by adapting a traditional story into an online puzzle-platform game. Through an online platform, the game reinterprets the community houses in which games are played into a digital form. This brings Iñupiat self-determination into broader conversation with Inuit interests throughout the Arctic. The paper discusses the relationship between Arctic games and changing definitions of Inuit sovereignty. It elaborates on the ways Never Alone engages with Inuit gaming protocols to rearticulate gaming values across the Northern circumpolar. Finally, the varying ways the game challenges Inuit and non-Inuit players will be discussed.

description: At the core of this (re)coded comic holotrope are two concepts: game as world (re)mapping (rather than game as text) and the relationality and connections that reverberate through multiple realms. Indigenous use of digital media warrants engagement of indigenous theorists and scholars to this digital realm - Gerald Vizenor and Mishuana Goeman’s work on political and literary analysis to explore the concepts of Never Alone (re)mapping the comic holotrope of survivance. The portmanteau kinnections is introduced here to further articulate emergences of decolonial relations and kin-making practices.

“An Evening’s Curiosity”: Image and Indianness in James Welch’s The Heartsong of Charging Elk
Creators: name: Wahpeconiah, Tammy
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2016

description: In James Welch’s The Heartsong of Charging Elk, being Indian is defined as both a matter of birth and a myth imposed on the characters by society. Charging Elk engages in performance, essentially playing Indian before white audiences, because it provides him temporary approval, financial gain, an opportunity to showcase the old ways, and a degree of control over the myth. Welch’s novel illustrates that within the confines of the Wild West show, the audience accepts and values Indianess. However, once Charging Elk steps outside the performance arena, his Indianess is the subject of, among many things, suspicion, scorn, and ridicule. In this essay, I will argue how Welch’s text illustrates the repercussions of the mythical representation of the “Indian” and how the protagonist must negotiate the fictional and historical truths of “Indianness.”

In The Master's Maison: Mobile Indigeneity in The Heartsong of Charging Elk and Blue Ravens
Creators: name: Gamber, John
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2016

description: This essay looks at a pair of the few extent novels that portray Native characters outside of the United States: James Welch’s The Heartsong of Charging Elk (2001) and Gerald Vizenor’s Blue Ravens (2014), both of which feature Native protagonists settling permanently in France. Each novel portrays a character relocating on a temporary basis, but ultimately choosing to stay—albeit under profoundly different circumstances. Charging Elk’s (the protagonist of Welch’s novel) adaptation to France is often read as extremely positive. However, I argue that his transition is in fact quite complicated and ambivalent at best. Specifically, Charging Elk represents an always-already (temporally) diasporic subject, removed from what he perceives to be home not only in space but also in time—even when he dwells in the Oglala Stronghold. The Beaulieu brothers of Blue Ravens remain remarkably unchanged over the course of the novel in regard to their move to France. However, as Vizenor’s text establishes White Earth as a traditionally cosmopolitan space, it renders their movement and relocation to be a part of, rather than apart from, their communities and cultures. In light of these related circumstances, I look at the vexed and vexing portrayals of Native masculinity within these novels, each of which confronts warrior stereotypes and ideologies as deeply incomplete representations of Native people and cultures. Ultimately, I argue, these novels when read together portray the possibilities for Native movement and relocation. Such movement is not without incident, they suggest, but it is not as inherently damaging or liberatory as some might suggest.

Reimagining Resistance: Achieving Sovereignty in Indigenous Science Fiction
Creators: name: Brown Spiers, Miriam C
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2016

description: This essay explores the ways that the science fictional trope of virtual reality has been appropriated by Native authors in order to confront historical trauma and rewrite problematic narratives of victimization. Grounded in the intersections of both science fiction theory and Indigenous knowledge, I place theorists like Darko Suvin in conversation with Vine Deloria and Gregory Cajete to examine Cherokee author Blake Hausman's Riding the Trail of Tears. I argue that Hausman has indigenized the genre of science fiction in order to critique not just the historical Trail of Tears, but also the ways that Euro-American culture continues to romanticize and repeat that narrative. Because the novel takes place in a virtual reality game located in both the past and the present, it can be used to demonstrate Deloria's argument that Native cultures interpret the world primarily through place rather than time. Ultimately, this shift in perspective expands the possibilities of science fiction and emphasizes the value of Cherokee culture and Indigenous worldviews in the twenty-first century.

description: The use of natural fibres as enhancement in soil blocks has attracted much research interest in the past decade. In this paper the effects of sugarcane bagasse fibres on the strength properties of soil blocks have been investigated. Laboratory experiments including density, water absorption, compressive strength, splitting tensile strength and erosion tests were conducted on soil blocks reinforced with 0.25-1% mass of fibres. It was determined that by utilisation of an optimum (0.5%) of sugarcane bagasse fibres in the soil matrix improved the strength properties of the soil blocks. Furthermore, the study shows that although the reinforced soil blocks were of lower density and higher water absorption, they had a better resistance against erosion. In addition, it was found that high clayey soil achieved better strength and durability properties. This research therefore recommends the use of 0.5% fibre content and high clayey soil for production soil blocks reinforced with sugarcane bagasse.

description: As autonomous systems (AS) increasingly become part of our daily lives, ensuring their trustworthiness is crucial. In order to demonstrate the trustworthiness of an AS, we first need to specify what is required for an AS to be considered trustworthy. This roadmap paper identifies key challenges for specifying for trustworthiness in AS, as identified during the “Specifying for Trustworthiness” workshop held as part of the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Trustworthy Autonomous Systems (TAS) programme. We look across a range of AS domains with consideration of the resilience, trust, functionality, verifiability, security, and governance and regulation of AS and identify some of the key specification challenges in these domains. We then highlight the intellectual challenges that are involved with specifying for trustworthiness in AS that cut across domains and are exacerbated by the inherent uncertainty involved with the environments in which AS need to operate.
Trickster Discourse in Narrative Chance: How Gerald Vizenor Helped Shape My Life in Academia
Creators: name: Ryan, Allan J.
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2016

description: As a doctoral student in Anthropology at the University of British Columbia in the early 1990s, and just beginning research on humor in the work of contemporary Native American and Canadian First Nations artists, I chanced upon the book, Narrative Chance: Postmodern Discourse on Native American Indian Literatures, edited by Gerald Vizenor. It was a serendipitous, even fateful discovery. The final chapter in this book, written by Vizenor, explored the concept of “trickster discourse”. I subsequently framed my dissertation as a trickster discourse, a spirited conversation by and about a new generation of indigenous visual artists who, as “compassionate tricksters” (another key Vizenor concept), employed humor and irony and serious play to reimagine Native American experience in the past, present and future. UBC Press and the University of Washington Press later published the dissertation as a book titled, The Trickster Shift: Humour and Irony in Contemporary Native Art. Gerald Vizenor wrote a very generous endorsement for the dust jacket, and was later instrumental in the book receiving an American Book Award -- the same award that Gerald received for Griever: An American Monkey King in China. I was deeply honored. In the wake of the book’s success, I was offered the position of New Sun Chair in Aboriginal Art and Culture at Carleton University in Ottawa, where, for the past fifteen years I have been teaching in the School of Indigenous and Canadian Studies and the Department of Art History, and where I host an annual conference on aboriginal arts. At the ninth annual conference in 2010 I had the great pleasure of presenting Gerald Vizenor, the most compassionate trickster I know. This essay, based on a presentation delivered at a conference in his honor at the University of Vienna in 2014, traces Gerald Vizenor’s impact and influence on my teaching and research over the last two decades.

Going Home
Creators: name: Shuck, Kim
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2015

description: The notion that 'you can never go home again' may well be true for some. When examined through the lens of an hyphenate Ani yun wiya identity, however, it may become clear that some will find themselves at home, some may work to get home, but either way respect requires allowing home to be what it has become. After the last five hundred years, the changes of a handful of decades are hardly a game ender. Even in this altered light home might recognize the traveler.

Year: 2015

description: This paper presents the development of new environmentally friendly reinforcement composite materials using technical flax fibres. Flax fibres have low energetic production costs, are biodegradable, cost-effective and have specific mechanical properties comparable to those of glass fibres, making them interesting in the field of composite reinforcement. In this study two different applying methods for concrete strengthening are examined, (1) pre-hardened flax composite strips produced by compression moulding using PA11 or epoxy resins, and (2) handlaid up flexible flax fabrics impregnated on site with ambient temperature curing epoxy resins. Several combinations of matrices and flax fabrics were tested. The composites’ mechanical properties and cohesion were determined through tensile loading and delamination tests. The impregnation quality was assessed through SEM microscopy. The reinforcement ability and the adhesion on concrete substrate of the qualified composites were evaluated through pull-out tests. Different numbers of layers and application methods were tested to determine an optimal use of the composite. The tests show very good concrete/FFRP bonding and high mechanical properties, leading to failures in concrete rather than in the composite or at the interface.

description: The consumption of edible Coleoptera, or beetles, is examined in this review as a viable remedy for the rising world food demand brought on by the population's predicted expansion to over 9 billion by 2050. The review illustrates the nutritional profile of beetles, highlighting their high protein content, good fats, and oils, while being low in saturated fats and high in omega-3. Beetles have a rich history of consumption, with over 2 billion people, particularly in regions like Africa, Asia, and the Americas, incorporating them into their diets. They contribute significantly to human nutrition while also playing essential ecological roles, including soil fertilization and pollination. Beetles represent a promising solution to combat climate change, as traditional livestock production is a major greenhouse gas emitter, and beetle farming boasts lower emissions, reduced resource requirements, shorter life cycles, and superior feed conversion rates. Notwithstanding their advantages in terms of nutrition and the environment, there are obstacles including customer adoption, safety worries, and legal limitations. The review also covers how beetles are processed into different food items, such as liquids, pastes, and powders, and how these products are used in the feed, food, and nutraceutical industries. In general, edible beetles present a viable substitute food source with noteworthy nutritional and ecological benefits; yet, additional investigation and endeavors are required to surmount obstacles to their extensive integration.

The Columbian Moment: Overcoming Globalization in Vizenor’s The Heirs of Columbus
Creators: name: Carlson, David J.
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2015

description: This essay reassesses Gerald Vizenor’s novel The Heirs of Columbus in the context of the critical concepts of transnationalism and globalization. Drawing in part on the work of Indian economist Amartya Sen’s and Italian political philosopher Giacomo Marramao, the central argument of this piece is that Vizenor’s novel functions as a meditation on the ambiguous nature of modern globalization for Indian people. Through his subversive re-scripting both of the history of the “Columbian moment” of encounter and of Columbus’ own identity, Vizenor seeks to open up an imaginative space between the historical reality of a form of globalization over-determined by Western colonialism and an alternative, utopian model of what globalization might mean if re-cast in indigenous terms.

"By My Heart": Gerald Vizenor's Almost Ashore and Bear Island: The War at Sugar Point
Creators: name: McGlennen, Molly S.
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2015

description: Gerald Vizenor's 2006 publications Almost Ashore and Bear Island: The War at Sugar Point illuminate Anishinaabe nationhood, citizenship, and self-determiniation through an ironic transnational framework constituted from a particular landscape, set of stories, relationships, and memory. Through the apparatus of poetry, and specifically through the lens of "by my heart" (a phrase that echoes through Vizenor's collections), Vizenor reveals Anishinaabeg determining the locales and ideals of the nation, despite discourses of dominance that would preordain and reduce Anishinaabe experience to an urban/reservation dichotomy and normalize colonial conquest.

“Carried in the Arms of Standing Waves:” The Transmotional Aesthetics of Nora Marks Dauenhauer
Creators: name: Stratton, Billy J.
Publisher: name: Transmotion
Year: 2015

description: In recent years, Native, Indigenous, First Nations, and Aboriginal scholars and writers have forged alliances to initiate and support decolonization efforts and the reassertion of native survivance. Native and non-Native scholars have responded to modern challenges by reconceptualizing notions of peoplehood, identity, and nationalism. Following these intellectual contours, rather than conceiving of native culture as totalizing, static, and/or incommensurable—as always already foreign—responsive readings informed by the critical work of Gerald Vizenor can support more sophisticated understandings of native literary production while revealing sites of native transmotion. Through a thusly informed examination of the work of the Tlingit poet, Nora Marks Dauenhauer, this essay highlights sites of transmotional fidelity between Tlingit aesthetics and classic Japanese Zen poetry. Through the development of a succinct, yet complex syncretic aesthetic vision, Dauenhauer is able to create new conceptions of native (trans)nationalism and indigenous survivance, while resisting facile classifications and essentialist conclusions. By employing a critical approach to poetics informed by cospolitainism, survivance, and transmotion, which is apparent in her appropriation of Basho’s haiku form, Dauenhauer is able to reinforce the implicit epistemological nexus that is unmistakably present between Tlingit and classic Japanese thought. As a result, Dauenhauer’s poetry succeeds in simultaneously representing a dynamic portrait of Tlingit cultural survivance, while at the same time promoting a unique transmotional approach that celebrates the immanent interconnectivity of all things.

description: ABSTRACTObjective & Methods: In the traditional injury-severity related studies two-vehicle and three-vehicle crashes are typically considered in a combinatory manner and thus the injury casual factors for these two crash types are implicitly assumed to be the same. The paper attempts to investigate the potential discrepancy between two- and three-vehicle crash severities with the aid of continuation ratio logit model with the property of partial proportional odds.Results: The modeling results show that there are a number of significant differences between two- and three-vehicle crash injury severities in terms of the contributing factors, the magnitude of impact, and even the direction of effects.Conclusions: The research illustrates that a series of environmental and crash factors (e.g., rear-end straight crashes, urban roadways, alcohol usage, and different driving cohorts) are statistically significant in interpreting the disparity of coefficients between two- and three-vehicle crash injury-severity models. It raises the awareness that the combined analysis of two- and three-vehicle crashes should be exercised with cautions, particularly when a safety research targets the less severe injury crashes.
