North American Indigenous Languages in the British Library's Post-1850 Collections

CDP将参与目前关于文化机构在收集、保存和促进土著语言方面的作用以及这种活动所引起的伦理问题的辩论。核心监督团队是大英图书馆北美印刷品馆长(Fuentes)和英国土著历史专家(Porter)，并得到一个处于土著语言研究前沿的二级团队的支持(Dale Turner教授(Anishinaabe教授)，达特茅斯学院土著研究系；Mishiikenh(Vernon Altiman，莫霍克)教授，安大略省皇后大学；3)Marianne Mithun教授，来自加州大学圣巴巴拉分校。学生将被鼓励在第一年利用学生发展和机构资助来完成一个或多个短期但密集的语言能力课程，课程由安大略省的联合主管Mishiikenh开办。他们将利用所获得的关于Anishinaabe的知识，并将与土著社区合作，在一系列《基本法》收藏中对土著语言保有量进行第一次调查、识别和标记，他们将识别并显著改进与土著语言有关的目录记录。学生将从专门接触BL寄宿学校的出版物和其中的各种材料(入门读物、参考文本和土著创造性产出)开始，然后继续探索词典和宗教文本的翻译，以及20世纪土著报纸、积极分子运动材料和土著作家和诗人的文学。为了帮助他们在土著背景下理解这项工作，将鼓励他们探索方法论，如佩内洛普·加德纳-克洛罗斯和其他人定义的“向上流动”、其他后殖民或新殖民背景下的权力不对称以及语言代码转换。这名学生将寻求向参与《风之歌》展览的策展人和学习团队学习专业知识，并将参加图书馆土著工作组。

This CDP will engage with current debates about the role of cultural institutions in collecting, preserving and promoting indigenous languages, and the ethical issues that such activities raise. The core supervisory team is the British Library Curator for North American Printed Collections (Fuentes) and a U.K. expert in indigenous history (Porter), supported by a secondary team at the forefront of indigenous language studies (Professor Dale Turner (Anishinaabe), Department of Native Studies, Dartmouth College; Mishiikenh (Vernon Altiman, Mohawk), Queen's University, Ontario; 3) Professor Marianne Mithun, University of California, Santa Barbara. The student will be encouraged in their first year to use Student Development and institutional funding to complete one or more short but intensive language competence courses run by co-supervisor Mishiikenh in Ontario. They will use their acquired knowledge of Anishinaabe and will work with indigenous communities to generate the first survey, identification & tagging of indigenous language holdings in a series of BL collections and they will identify and significantly improve catalogue records in relation to indigenous languages. The student will begin by engaging specifically with BL Boarding School publications and the variety of material therein (primers, reference texts and indigenous creative output), before going on to explore dictionaries and religious texts in translation, as well as 20th century Native newspapers, activist campaign materials and literature by indigenous authors and poets. To help them comprehend this work in indigenous context, they will be encouraged to explore methodologies such as 'up-streaming', asymmetries of power within other post or neo-colonial contexts and linguistic code switching as defined by Penelope Gardner-Chloros and others. The student will seek to learn from the expertise of the curatorial and learning teams who worked on the 'Windrush: Songs in a Strange Land' exhibition and will also participate in a Library indigenous working group.
