The two works are representative examples within the opus of the American writer Jack Kerouac (1922-1969), and offer suitable starting points for the reinterpretation of his attitude towards women and non-white ethnicities. The novels reveal the ethnocentric, even colonizing attitude of the dominating male narrator in relation to the dominated and subjugated social groups. Although the treated works are considered Kerouac's "female-centred novels" (Phelan Lyke 1991, v), this syntagm is problematized here by showing that the male narrator remains the true protagonist, focused essentially on his own perceptions of the non-white romantic subject, whereas the two female characters are (mere) objects for the protagonists' self-discovery, life experience and psychological projection. In this sense, Kerouac's consistent presentation of women as representatives of an identity of the exotic/Other reveals his nested gender and racial prejudiceČlanek obravnava prikaz temnopolte ženske v romanu The Subterraneans (1958) in in-dijanske ženske v romanu Tristessa (1960). Omenjeni deli v opusu ameriškega pisatelja Jacka Kerouaca (1922%1969) predstavljata reprezentativna primera z nadvse prikladnimi iztočnicami za reinterpretacijo njegovega odnosa do žensk in pripadnikov drugih ras. V njiju se razkriva etnocentristični in celo kolonizatorski pogled dominirajočega moškega avtorskega pripovednega lika na dominirane in kolonizirane družbene skupine. Obravnavani deli veljata za Kerouacova "žensko orientirana romana" (Phelan Lyke 1991, v), vendar pa to sintagmo problematiziram, saj pravi protagonist romanov ostaja moški pripovedni lik, ki se v resnici osredotoča na lastno doživljanje nebelskih žensk, onidve pa sta (zgolj) objekta za protagonistovo samoodkrivanje in projekcijo njegovih lastnih idej nanju. Kerouacova prezentacija žensk kot predstavnic identitete drugega tako razkriva njegov spolni in rasni predsodekTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaUniverza v Ljubljani, Filozofska fakulteta, Znanstvena založba
