Abstract

Ce recueil rassemble des textes sur The Handmaid’s Tale, le roman de Margaret Atwood inscrit aux programmes 1999 du CAPES et de l’Agrégation d’anglais, sous la plume des meilleurs spécialistes de la littérature canadienne d’expression anglaise, qu’ils soient en Angleterre, en Australie, au Canada ou en France. Le fil rouge de cet ouvrage est d'analyser les jeux de pouvoir, qu'il s'agisse du pouvoir politique des oppresseurs dans des régimes totalitaires, des théocraties ou des dictatures, ou du pouvoir machiste dans un monde dominé par les hommes et où le corps féminin est aussi enjeu de pouvoir. Certes l'exploitation de la femme, sa démarche de libération, l'écriture du corps tiennent une place centrale dans le roman. Mais c'est plutôt des stratégies narratives et du pouvoir subversif de l'écriture dont nous avons voulu parler. Ainsi les liens entre narratrice et lecteur/lectrice, entre réalité et fiction ont pour principale valeur d'être stratégie de libération. Le jeu des affirmations déconstruites, niées puis reconstruites exprime le combat pour la survie, contre le désarroi et l'oppression. Le seul parcours établi par le texte est bien celui de la démarche de résistance et de libération dans le jeu du pouvoir grâce à la puissance du verbe. La lutte pour le pouvoir a pour corollaires obligés la lutte contre la violence et le combat pour la liberté.

Abstract

Margaret Atwood: Feminism and Fiction takes a new look at the complex relationship between Margaret Atwood’s fiction and feminist politics. Examining in detail the concerns and choices of an author who has frequently been termed feminist but has famously rejected the label on many occasions, this book traces the influences of feminism in Atwood’s work and simultaneously plots moments of dissent or debate. Fiona Tolan presents a clear and detailed study of the first eleven novels of one of Canada’s most prominent authors. Each chapter can be read as an individual textual analysis, whilst the chronological structure provides a fascinating insight into the shifting concerns of a popular and influential author over a period of nearly thirty-five years.

Abstract

While it is often acknowledged that Margaret Atwood's novels are rife with allusions from the oral tradition of myth, legends, fables, and fairy tales, the implications of her liberal usage bear study. The essays in this volume have been written by some of the most influential Margaret Atwood scholars internationally, each exploring Atwood's use of primal, indeed archetypal, narratives to illuminate her fiction and poetry. These essays interact with all types of such narratives, from fairy ta...
