[ 摘要 ]

本論文探討三部美國女原民作品中的動態呈現。「動態」一詞代表多元和多變，而此恰為美國原民書寫的主要特色：一方面原民文化展現異於一般寫作過於彰顯個人主義風格的桎梏，另一方面不論是原民文化或其社會觀等也為當今多元文壇增加更多特色。

論文首章除針對美國原民文化被忽視而有所呼籲，同時也針對「動態」一詞加以定義。

第二章研討莫吉卡在<女飛行者與女權運動家>中，針對美國原民女英雌莎卡佳薇雅一劇中的動態呈現。該劇除了借由許多姆媽們(Grannies)閒話聊天，以及場景前後等呈現動態特色；就文類方面，本章也有所討論。

第三章研討阿其其塔的＜鬼舞＞。在一篇完全沒有提到維沃卡(Wovoka)鬼舞之歷史的戲劇中，阿其其塔高妙透過女主角郝緹的重生來展現原民文化將必再現與復甦。

第四章探索葛蘭茜的＜小事戰爭＞。該劇更可看出得以突顯原民動態特色的男女搗蛋鬼之展現。透過身體以及語言之戲謔和嘲諷，一方面女搗蛋鬼呈現白人歷史對原民之影響，另一方面也為懸宕不定的美國原民文化尋出另一奇特生機。

第五章綜述三大劇本的異同，並再述閱讀美國原民文化，日日有新發現，時時有新領悟，不也是一種動態學習與樂趣。



[ 英文摘要 ]

This dissertation aims to excogitate the dynamic vision in three plays presented in 1990s by three Native American female playwrights with reference to affiliated social and cultural study. Monique Mojica’s “Birdwoman and the Suffragettes: A Story of Sacajawea,” Annette Arkeketa’s “Ghost Dance,” and Diane Glancy’s “The Lesser Wars” are the very selected works.

This dissertation will be divided into five chapters. Chapter One is a brief introduction in which I present the framework of this dissertation and basic ideas on Native American writing with the reference to the definition of the word, “dynamics.”

In Chapter Two, I probe and scrutinize Monique Mojica’s “Birdwoman and the Suffragettes” based on dynamics as the keynote. How different genres in Mojica’s “Birdwoman and the Suffragettes” exert influence on the reading and how the ideology of Manifest Destiny lays stress on the play are the focal points for discussion.

In Chapter Three, Mihesuah’s four stages of Indian life will be employed in the study of Annette Arkeketa’s “Ghost Dance” with the reference to Wovoka’s Ghost Dance and the ghost images in the play.

Chapter Four puts emphasis on the trickster and tricksterism in Diane Glancy’s “The Lesser Wars.” How, especially, the trickSTAR, Tecoyo presents the white men’s history (Columbus’ as the main focus) and how Tecoyo transcends the experience and conflicts through her body are the main issues to discuss in this chapter.

The last chapter gives a brief conclusion with the expectation of more research and studies on Native plays.
