February 21, 3:00pm - 4:15pm
Mānoa Campus, KUY 410
Title of Presentation: Form a Native Daughter: Fragments Toward a Mo脢禄o Poetics
Abstract: Inspired by the title of Haunani-Kay Trask芒鈧劉s seminal collection of essays From a Native Daughter: Colonialism and Sovereignty in Hawai脢禄i, No脢禄u Revilla's presentation will weave poetry and critical discussions of Native Hawaiian Literature. By centering the figure of mo脢禄o as kia脢禄i (protector), Revilla will address the metaphor of shapeshifting in her poetry as both a strategy of survival and an act of regeneration to explore issues of desire, belonging, and intergenerational cycles of trauma and healing. Mo脢禄o, who represent a class of akua in Hawaiian culture, are shapeshifting water protectors whose kuleana to wai and waiwai position them as models of erotic sovereignty and transformative healing. Revilla's presentation will connect the page to the stage and perform a mo脢禄o poetics that offers methodologies of craft and creative writing pedagogy rooted in Hawai脢禄i nei.
