Abstract:

Attracting Indigenous scholars to the study of eighteenth-century literature is needed to open the discipline and the university itself to a future more reflective of scholarly findings and subject matter repositioned by Indigenous perspectives, historical and literary. An increase in Indigenous scholars is considered among other measures suggested by fellow CSECS and Early Americanist scholars, and by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada (2015). The discipline can become more welcoming by valorizing collaborative scholarship with teachers of resurgent Indigenous languages, and by broadening normative objects of study to include those linked to existing Indigenous communities and geographic sites. An attempt to geographically locate and dialogically read Indigenous perspectives in Daniel Defoe’s Captain Singleton (1720) concludes with a textually-generated Indigenous perspective on Defoe’s two central pirates, who see themselves not as heroes but as historically stranded, ungrounded and offshore with their ill-gotten wealth and no place else to go.

摘要：

需要吸引土著学者来研究18世纪文学，以使该学科和大学向未来开放，以更能反映由土著观点，历史和文学重新定位的学术发现和主题。CSECS同胞和早期美国主义者的学者以及加拿大真相与和解委员会（2015年）建议采取的其他措施中，还考虑了土著学者的增加。该学科可以变得更加受欢迎，方法是与复兴的土著语言老师一起获得合作奖学金，并扩大研究的规范性对象，使其包括那些与现有土著社区和地理位置相关的学科。在丹尼尔·笛福（Daniel Defoe）的著作中尝试对地理位置进行地理定位和对话式阅读辛格尔顿船长（1720）最后以文字生成的土著观点看待迪福的两位中央海盗，他们认为自己不是英雄，而是历史上滞留，不稳固和离岸，他们拥有不义之财，无处可去。
