2584. INGRAM, Penelope Anne. “Becoming Women: ‘Difference Feminism’ and the Race for the ‘Other.’” PhD thesis. University of New South Wales (Australia), 1999. “The thesis’s main argument is that the project of sexual difference, which attempts to theorise a place for woman as the Other of the Other, is based on a prior assumption of the absolute alterity of the racial Other. In theories of sexual difference, the thesis contends, the racial Other represents the paradigm for un-colonisable otherness precisely because s/he is presumed to be, like Spivak’s subaltern, unsignifiable or unrepresentabl
e….The thesis…examines a number of literary works by white ‘settler women,’ [including] Margaret Atwood’s Surfacing…. By reading feminist theorists of difference in dialogue with the work of postcolo-nial and race theorists who have revealed as illusory the concept of a native/racial Other who is ‘pure’ or ‘uncontaminated’ by the coloniser, I critique feminist projects of difference which would theorise the possibility of a similar alterity for woman and which, furthermore, would base their appeals to such alterity on the presumption of a racial Other who is wholly other.” (Author).

2589. KNELMAN, Judith. “Can We Believe What the Newspapers Tell Us? Missing Links in Alias Grace.” University of Toronto Quarterly 68.2 (1999): 677-686. “Atwood implies that the newspapers of the time failed Grace by sensationalizing and politicizing her case, and she also points out that the written accounts of the case were so contradictory that few facts emerged as unequivocally ‘known.’ However, it is unfair to impugn the reliability of newspapers as historical documents because they did not tell one constant story. Stories and advertisements in old newspapers illuminate one another, pointing out paths that might be approached through other forms of writing. They are valuable for the things they tell us incidentally and incrementally about past customs, attitudes, problems, and coping tactics, thereby suggesting what constituted social and cultural reality at the time.” (Author).

Informed by the postmodern theories of Linda Hutcheon and Jean-François Lyotard, the thesis defines ‘centre’ as the combined value-systems of a particular society or individual. Postmodernism and modernism can be described as different reactions to the same cultural crisis: ‘the loss of the centre,’ the break-down of these established systems of belief. While modernist artists try to resolve the crisis by searching for the centre elsewhere, postmodernism gives up the belief in a single centre and recognizes that the world is multicentric….The Robber Bride is a postmodern novel.” (Author).

Thomas Honegger. Zurich; Berne: Walking Tree Publishers, 1999. 151-162. “Although, at first sight, Margaret Atwood and J. R. R. Tolkien would seem to have little in common, a closer look reveals some intriguing affinities. Both writers use classical and popular mythologies to discuss issues of fundamental human concern; elements of the fantastic appear throughout their narratives, and both endow their characters with archetypal traits. Atwood’s investigation of the metaphysical nature of The Lord of the Rings in her PhD thesis where she fits it into the English tradition of the metaphysical romance offers interesting inroads into the works of both authors.” (Author).

Identities are also hybrid, as many different components contribute to their composition, including gender, class, race and nationality….Displacement often results in a broadening of one’s perspective, providing insight into the ‘Other’s’ point of view….Jacques Poulin’s Volkswagen Blues, Margaret Atwood’s Bodily Harm, Jane Urquhart’s The Underpainter, and Regine Robin’s La Quebecoite are four contemporary Canadian or Quebecois novels which explore personal displacement, each one illustrating how it affects both the process of identity formation and the individual’s perception of Canada or Quebec.” (Author).
