Ep. 16: Who gets to tell our story? Yearning and Romanticisation in "Whale Fall"
A whale washed up on the shore of a small island in Wales.
In this episode I discuss "Whale Fall" by Elizabeth O'Connor.
A story of a teenager’s yearning, the dark side of being "observed" by outsiders, and my candid anger at them.
孤島に打ち上げられたクジラと、島を調査しに来た「部外者」たち。
少女の憧れを利用する人類学者たちの無自覚な傲慢さに、正直かなり腹が立ってしまいました。
読後のざわざわした感情をそのまま語ります。
次回は日本語回です。お楽しみに！
