Cognitive Postcolonial and Ecocitical Explorations in Kiana Davenport's Hawaiian Trilogy
The article analyses Kiana Davenport's trilogy on Hawaiian history drawing from Patrick Colm Hogan's concept of 'human universal' and Nancy Easterlin's biocultural approach and cognitive ecocriticism. native hawaiian fiction is here dedicated to nature and human survival in the Pacific. Reading these novels at the intersection of these two approaches presents an ecocentric position that remind us how important nature and local cultures are in our contemporary world that has accorsing to some already become posthuman. Since no system or culture can exist outside of its natural environment, both novels and theories radiate the importance of cognitive human-centred and bodily-centred approach. Art as a cogntive tool in the colonized local native culture becomes a way of preserving history, and communication channel to future generations reminding us of the importance of the humanities in the world pervaded by applied science.
