dc.description.abstractIn my thesis, I investigate the possible interpretations of the avatar in James Cameron’s 2010 film entitled Avatar by means of following the various stages in the protagonist’s rite of passage among the indigenous people until he becomes physically, mentally, and spiritually alive through his several transformations on the way towards the center of the Native American web of life. Owing to the director’s environmentalist agenda he emphasizes in relation to Avatar, the question unavoidably arises, how the American Indian concept of the world and the natives in the US can be connected to the imagined world on Pandora, a moon in the Alpha Centauri system, and its inhabitants, the Na’vi. To answer the query precisely, each chapter is built upon the viable parallels between the two indigenous cultures, starting with the uncanny resemblance prevalent in their concept of the world.hu_HU
