Margaret Atwood's Aesthetics: The Artpolitical

Editat de Dunja M. Mohr, Kirsten Sandrock
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 feb 2025
This collection recognizes prominent Canadian writer Margaret Atwood's impact as a highly political writer whose literary oeuvre engages with burning contemporary political questions on the personal, imaginative, scientific, and material level. From a variety of cutting-edge critical perspectives, such as risk studies, intersectionality, the nonhuman and the posthuman, Anthropocene studies, and pandemics, the chapters explore the rich and intricate interplay of politics and the arts in Atwood's storytelling, creating an aesthetics understood as the “distributions of the sensible” (Jacques Ranciére). Margaret Atwood's Aesthetics combines novel critical responses and established theoretical approaches to investigate some of Atwood's most popular books, media adaptations, and her graphic novels and, additionally, offers fresh views on some of her less researched works. Ultimately, the collection provides intriguing insights into the silent and deafening power plays enacted in Atwood's work, spilling over onto the page, the stage, the screen and into the textual physical contexts and the readers’ lifeworlds.
