Inside Jam Search Jam! Books Jam! Music Jam! Movies Jam! TV ... Help Thursday, December 17, 1998 Atwood not bugged about insect's name By SHANNON HAWKINS Ottawa Sun Margaret Atwood is bug crazy. Growing up with a scientist as a father, the renowned author developed an affinity for all creepy crawly creatures. But it wasn't until yesterday she was able to come face to face with one that bears her family name. Metamasius atwoodi, a large red and black beetle in the weevil family found on a small Costa Rican island, was yesterday named after Dr. Carl Atwood by the Museum of Nature during the launch of the Nature Discovery Fund. The fund will finance the exploration of relatively undiscovered or poorly explored areas in Canada in the quest to uncover different species of insects. The museum chose Atwood to launch the fund because one of its scientists, Dr. Robert Anderson, had fond memories of dealing with her father. As a child, Anderson found a tagged Monarch butterfly and when he called the University of Toronto, it was Carl Atwood on the other end. "It was Dr. Atwood who took my phone call and requested the information come directly from me," said Anderson.

50. Reconstructing The Wilderness: Margaret Atwood's Reading Of Susanna Moodie Essay by Susan Johnston. http://www.arts.uwo.ca/canpoetry/cpjrn/vol31/johnston.htm

Reconstructing the Wilderness: Margaret Atwood's Reading of Susanna Moodie By Susan Johnston The literary relation between Atwood's The Journals of Susanna Moodie (1970), and Susanna Strickland Moodie's 1852 sketches of immigrant life, Roughing It in the Bush, or, Forest Life in Canada has been the subject of a number of critical analyses, many of which adopt the heuristic metaphors of "violent duality" and "paranoid schizophrenia" that Atwood applies to Moodie in the "Afterword". This Afterword has had an effect on Moodie and Atwood criticism very similar to that described by Anna Balakian as "false influence," in which a model text is distorted or transformed by a new text which illuminates the model text and inspires followers. So powerful is Atwood's reconstruction that not only most interpretations of The Journals of Susanna Moodie, but many independent discussions of Roughing It in the Bush as well, have succumbed to its lure. A new reading of this literary relation seems called for, one which considers Atwood's response to Moodie in terms of the creative relation Moodie achieved, by accepting and resisting inherited European aesthetics, with the wilderness landscape of colonial Canada. Such a reading is suggested by Atwood's poetic concern with the relationship of Canadians to their own landscape, and by the explicit stance of her criticism: "For the members of a country or culture, shared knowledge of their place, their

Berlin Verlag, 620 Seiten, ISBN: 3827000122 Ersch. 1996 unter dem Titel "Alias Grace" Aus dem Englischen 1996 von Brigitte Walitzek Die Autorin: Margaret Atwood wurde 1939 in Ottawa geboren Weitere Titel: Die essbare Frau / Der Report der Magd / Unter Glas / Alias Grace / Der blinde Mörder Grace Marks weiß, dass sie den Rest ihres Lebens im Gefängnis verbringen wird - verurteilt zu dieser Strafe für den Mord an Thomas Kinnear, ihrem Arbeitgeber, und dessen Haushälterin Nancy. Gemeinsam mit dem Knecht soll sie diese Morde begangen haben - nur sie selbst kann sich nicht dran erinnern. Trotz der überwältigenden Beweise ist es auch schwer vorstellbar, dass diese zarte, sensible Person an zwei derartigen Greueltaten beteiligt gewesen sein sollte. Nach etlichen Jahren im Gefängnis und auch in der Psychiatrie ist sie zwar immer noch inhaftiert, darf jedoch im Haushalt des Gefängnisdirektors als Hausmädchen arbeiten - getrieben von der Lust der Direktorsgattin, sich ein bisschen Nervenkitzel in die Wohnung zu holen. Und hier begegnet sie auch Doktor Simon Jordan, der an ihr eine neuartige Methode anwenden will, um zu den tief verschütteten Geheimnissen ihres Geistes vorzudringen und damit vielleicht aufzuklären, was an jenem Tag wirklich geschah....

For more information on feminist SF, see the Introduction (Wait until this page is completely downloaded before clicking.) Epigraphs Chapter 1 Chapter 2 Chapter 3 ... Historical Notes Many readers are surprised to hear Atwood's novel labeled science fiction, but it belongs squarely in the long tradition of near-future dystopias which has made up a large part of SF since the early50s. SF need not involve technological innovation: it has been a long-standing principle that social change can provide the basis for SF just as well as technical change. The Handmaid's Tale is partly an extrapolation of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, But another social controversy also underlies this novel. During the early 80s a debate raged (and continues to rage, on a lower level) about feminist attitudes toward sexuality and pornography in particular. Outspoken feminists have taken all kinds of positions: that all erotica depicting women as sexual objects is demeaning, that pornography was bad though erotica can be good, that although most pornography is demeaning the protection of civil liberties is a greater good which requires the toleration of freedom for pornographers, however distasteful, even that such a thing as feminist pornography can and should be created. The sub-theme of this tangled debate which seems to have particularly interested and alarmed Atwood is the tendency of some feminist anti-porn groups to ally themselves with religious anti-porn zealots who oppose the feminists on almost every other issue. The language of "protection of women" could slip from a demand for more freedom into a retreat from freedom, to a kind of neo-Victorianism. After all, it was the need to protect "good" women from sex that justified all manner of repression in the 19th century, including confining them to the home, barring them from participating in the arts, and voting. Contemporary Islamic women sometimes argue that assuming the veil and traditional all-enveloping clothing is aimed at dealing with sexual harassment and sexual objectification. The language is feminist, but the result can be deeply patriarchal, as in this novel.

58. INTERVIEW WITH MARGARET ATWOOD By Raymond H. Thompson in the series 'Thompson's Interviews with Authors of Modern Arthurian Literature'. http://www.lib.rochester.edu/camelot/intrvws/atwood.htm

Return to the Contents Page of Thompson's Interviews with Authors of Modern Arthurian Literature INTERVIEW WITH MARGARET ATWOOD by RAYMOND H. THOMPSON TORONTO 25 MARCH 1991 This interview was the only one in the collection where I encountered technical difficulties with the taping process. Whether the tape was affected by airport security machines, the tape recorder malfunctioned, or (more likely) I failed to press the correct buttons on it, I ended up with a blank tape. I reconstructed what I could remember of Atwood's responses to my questions, but could produce, regrettably, little more than a summary, even though she was kind enough to add a few clarifications. Since Atwood could recall few details about the composition of her Arthurian work, an early sequence of seven short poems entitled "Avalon Revisited" that was published in The Fiddlehead , 55 (1963), 10-13, the result is a very brief account indeed. After the difficulties we had arranging the interview, this is a disappointment, but I remain grateful to the author for finding the time to talk to me on a chilly March afternoon in Toronto about poetry she had forgotten she ever wrote. Having gone on to establish herself among the foremost of contemporary authors, Atwood looks back on this early work as little more than one part of the process of finding her own voice as a writer. It offers, nonetheless, a fascinating glimpse of a stage in the development of an important figure in the field of contemporary literature.

Atwood, whose novels include The Handmaid's Tale, Cat's Eye, and her latest, Alias Grace , is known for her wicked sense of humor and caustic tongue, which have inspired critics to label her "Medusa," "amusing duchess," and "quiet Mata Hari." The 57-year-old Toronto-based storyteller has wielded her pen and activist voice on behalf of many causes. She is the former president of PEN (Poets, Essayists, Novelists) Canada, which assists writers worldwide who live under political oppression. Most recently, Atwood protested plans to turn Toronto into a "megacity," in which the metropolitan area's six municipal governments would be consolidated into one governing board. In Atwood's world, whether she's aiming at the premier of Ontario or the not-so-nice girls in Cat's Eye , no one gets off easy.
