Popis: | This article characterizes the work of Native basket weaver Mabel McKay, using some of the conceptual tools of twentiethth'century phenomenologist Maurice Mer-leau-Ponty. Specifically, McKay's baskets have often been described as “living;” Mer-leau-Ponty's account of the world as “living flesh” seems to suggest a way of thinking about these baskets as more than mere artifacts. I conclude that McKay's baskets are a powerful propaedeutic: they awaken a sense of ourselves as perceivers. |
