Application of Eco Language and Space Consciousness in Toni Morrison's Beloved and The Bluest Eye.

The application of eco language can be considered as a tool of cultural resistance to linguistic imperialism. In the analysis of indigenous space-conscious values of an ethnic community, the problem, which is a matter of discourse, is: "Is it possible for an ethnic group of people to move forward with contrasting ideas like preservation and progression simultaneously?" This paper traces the application of eco language and space conscious values in Toni Morrison's Beloved and The Bluest Eye. Beloved highlights the possibilities of applying eco language while generating the idea of space consciousness, whereas The Bluest Eye deals with the limitations of generating spaceconscious values, despite its application of eco language. While Beloved is able to construct cultural resistance, The Bluest Eye fails to do so in terms of creating an indigenous space and identity structure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
