| Summary, etc | This volume examines the contested concept of postmodernism, together with its relationship to modernism and the points of contact between the postmodern standpoint and the feminist standpoint. The theoretical argument is supported by analyses of leading Canadian exponents of these modes of writing: Robert Kroetsch, George Bowering, Daphne Marlatt, Michael Ondaatje, Nicole Brossard, France Theoret, Marlene Nourbese Philip, Margaret Atwood, Alice Munro and others. Traditional texts are also examined through postmodern eyes. <br/>Neatly divided into 8 sections, the essays in this book examine the points of convergence and divergence between the feminist and the postmodern agendas at considerable strength. They probe the postmodern stress on ambivalence and multivalence which speaks for women and their traditionally assailed sense of subjectivity, as also the questioning of master narratives which comes fairly close to the feminist deconstruction of falsely universalizing hierarchies of value. Yet feminism's emancipatory impulse constitutes an essential difference. |
