This talk examines the context behind a remarkable literary event: the meeting of Audre Lorde and the Indigenous Chukchi poet Antonina Kymytval’ at a 1976 writers’ conference in Soviet Uzbekistan. What brought them together? What did they really mean to each other? I borrow a concept first developed by Mary Louise Pratt (“Arts of the Contact Zone,” 1991) in order to offer some ideas for how to approach their encounter and its significance for their respective bodies of work. I will discuss the experiences of Indigenous writers who passed through the Soviet Union’s myriad “contact zones” at home and abroad, from classrooms and museums to congresses and public demonstrations. Examples include Chukchi writer Yury Rytkheu's essay on encountering "himself" in an ethnographic museum exhibit, the joint Kazakh and Western Shoshone ritual protest actions of the Nevada-Semipalatinsk Antinuclear Movement, and Kiowa writer N. Scott Momaday's poetic exchanges with Nenets and Khanty counterparts in Western Siberia. For Kymytval’ and Indigenous writers of her generation, Soviet “contact zones” offered new avenues of connection and collaboration, yet also presented intractable problems of misrepresentation, translation, and mediation.Naomi Caffee is an Associate Professor of Russian and Humanities at Reed College.
