O sujeito norte-americano experimentava a possibilidade de engajar-se politicamente para oferecer um direcionamento diferente ao seu universo. Da mesma maneira, o indivíduo poderia optar pelo escapismo e pela construção de uma narrativa que o distanciasse dos problemas e os projetasse em Outro. Assim, a partir da observação da relação do sujeito eurocêntrico com a natureza selvagem e com o espaço do Outro, representados no romance Gone Indian (1973), de Robert Kroetsch, serão analisadas características que possam evidenciar a maneira pela qual o subtexto do silêncio e sua construção na narrativa subvertem as narrativas tradicionais e oferecem a possibilidade de uma leitura plural da história oficial a partir de fragmentos de estórias. Com base nas teorias propostas pelos Estudos Culturais e em teóricos como Gayatri Spivak, Homi K. Bhabha, Bill Ashcroft, Margaret Atwood, e outros, a análise tem como foco principal o discurso das personagens Jeremy Sadness e Mark Madham, ou ainda a ausência do discurso na figura da própria imensidão branca. === During the 1970s, the world was undergoing quite significant changes in cultural terms, especially given the rise of the counterculture and other social movements that emerged in the complex postwar scene in North America. While some Americans were experiencing the possibility of being politically engaged in order to offer a different perspective to their universe, other individuals were interested in the idea of escapism and in the construction of a narrative that could keep them away from all the possible problems. Considering the relationship of the Eurocentric subject with the wilderness and the space of the Other represented in the writing of Robert Kroetsch’s Gone Indian (1973), some characteristics might be analyzed based on Cultural Studies theories and scholars such as Gayatri Spivak, Homi K. Bhabha, Bill Ashcroft, Margaret Atwood, among others. Such characteristics will help to understand the subtext of silence and its construction in the narrative and discourse of the characters Mark Madham and Jeremy Sadness – or in the absence of speech in the figure of the great whiteness itself – undermining the traditional narratives through the exercise of a plural reading of the official history.
