Isi artikel

Zora Neale Hurston was the most prominent woman in the Harlem Renaissance. ‘‘As an ethnographer and writer, she . . . is now considered one of the defining authors of the African American literary tradition’’ (Robinson, 2005:272). Following the suggestion of Hill (1996) and of Plant (1995), this essay links Hurston’s ethnography and fiction with a discussion of performative speech acts. In particular, Hurston’s work is linked to a conventionalist/intentionalist debate about how illocutionary speech acts should be interpreted.
