81 settler colonial logics, however ingrained, can begin to be tangibly unraveled. In the fi nal chapters of Native Space Barnd turns from the provocative mundane to art that is meant to provoke. Barnd argues that Native art can “disrupt settler spatialities and . . . mark and reestablish indigenous geographies” (130). Edgar Heap of Birds’s installations, for example, mimic the form and placement of United States federal street signs. One of Heap of Birds’s signs displays the name “Alaska” in mirror image, then informs travelers, “Your host is Unangax̂,” disrupting assumptions of Alaska’s primary identity as a US state and reminding viewers of Native Alaskan sovereignty. Where the street signs Barnd opens with often serve to concretize settler space, Heap of Birds’s artwork unsettles it. Th roughout Native Space Barnd sets up important binaries between settler and Native space, but he is most interested in sites where these binaries waver, and in the spatial discomforts that result. His analysis rests on the critical reminder that Indianness and settler coloniality are intermingled and that signs, symbols, and rhetoric are likewise always connected to real, lived eff ects and tangibly manifested in our geographies. Western space is Native space. Barnd off ers a compelling praxis for productively engaging this reality in the study of western cultural production. Mika Kennedy University of Michigan

81 定居者的殖民逻辑,无论多么根深蒂固,都可以开始有形地解开。在 Native Space 的最后几章中,Barnd 从具有挑衅性的平凡变成了旨在挑衅的艺术。巴恩德认为,本土艺术可以“扰乱定居者的空间和…… . . 标记并重建土著地理”(130)。例如,Edgar Heap of Birds 的装置模仿了美国联邦街道标志的形式和位置。Heap of Birds 的标志之一在镜像中显示“阿拉斯加”这个名字,然后告诉旅客“你的主人是 Unangax̂”,打破了阿拉斯加作为美国州的主要身份的假设,并提醒观众阿拉斯加原住民的主权。在巴恩德开张的街道标志经常用来具体化定居者空间的地方,鸟群的艺术作品令人不安。粗略的原生空间 Barnd 在定居者空间和原生空间之间建立了重要的双星,但他最感兴趣的是这些双星摇摆不定的地点,以及由此产生的空间不适。他的分析基于一个批判性的提醒,即印第安人和定居者的殖民性是混合的,符号、符号和修辞同样总是与真实的、生动的效果相关联,并在我们的地理环境中得到具体体现。西方空间是本土空间。巴恩德提供了一个引人注目的实践,可以在西方文化生产的研究中有效地参与这一现实。密歇根大学米卡肯尼迪 他的分析基于一个批判性的提醒,即印第安人和定居者的殖民性是混合的,符号、符号和修辞同样总是与真实的、生动的效果相关联,并在我们的地理环境中得到具体体现。西方空间是本土空间。巴恩德提供了一个引人注目的实践,可以在西方文化生产的研究中有效地参与这一现实。密歇根大学米卡肯尼迪 他的分析基于一个批判性的提醒,即印第安人和定居者的殖民性是混合的,符号、符号和修辞同样总是与真实的、生动的效果相关联,并在我们的地理环境中得到具体体现。西方空间是本土空间。巴恩德提供了一个引人注目的实践,可以在西方文化生产的研究中有效地参与这一现实。密歇根大学米卡肯尼迪
