Thank You for Visiting: Essays on Alice Munro's Works III, the third volume of essays issued by Guernica Editions in honour of Munro reveals, like the earlier collections Alice Munro Country and Alice Munro Everlasting, how critical writing can be not only as perceptive but also as personal as the stories it studies. Featured here are new works by Munro's most distinguished critics - including Catherine Sheldrick Ross, J.R. (Tim) Struthers, Robert Thacker - along with other uniquely exciting contributions such as Munro's Canadian publisher Douglas Gibson's investigation of the ever-so-close backgrounds three centuries ago in Scotland of the ancestors of both Alice Munro and Robertson Davies.
Ethics and Affects in the Fiction of Alice Munro
Springer Nature Switzerland AG
2019
nidottu
Ethics and Affects in the Fiction of Alice Munro explores the representation of embodied ethics and affects in Alice Munro’s writing. The collection illustrates how Munro’s short stories powerfully intersect with important theoretical trends in literary studies, including affect studies, ethical criticism, age studies, disability studies, animal studies, and posthumanism. These essays offer us an Alice Munro who is not the kindly Canadian icon reinforcing small-town verities who was celebrated and perpetuated in acts of national pedagogy with her Nobel Prize win; they ponder, instead, an edgier, messier Munro whose fictions of affective and ethical perplexities disturb rather than comfort. In Munro’s fiction, unruly embodiments and affects interfere with normative identity and humanist conventions of the human based on reason and rationality, destabilizing prevailing gender and sexual politics, ethical responsibilities, and affective economies. As these essays make clear, Munro’s fiction reminds us of the consequences of everyday affects and the extraordinary ordinariness of the ethical encounters we engage again and again.

Iconoclasm in Selected Short Stories of Alice Munro

Literary critics have argued over the status of women in the world and their self-development of their literary and cultural position in literary works. Women's oppression, self-complication, and self-recognition are worldly studied. In this respect, this thesis aims at exploring how Alice Munro has violated the established norms of writing in order to give women the chance to speak. It can be classified as a postcolonial study because Munro tries to deconstruct the centre: it is both the metropolitan and patriarchy. Moreover, she has used postmodernist techniques in order to distort both the west and men. This topic has been chosen for many reasons. First, Munro is a staunch feminist whose oeuvre gives due respect to women's problems. Theme of woman/country recurs in most of her works; this accentuates that Canada cannot get its full independence without emancipating women from patriarchal restrictions, and the constraints of society.

A Multimodal Stylistic Approach to Screen Adaptations of the Work of Alice Munro
Sabrina Francesconi
TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2022
sidottu
This volume brings together perspectives from multimodal stylistics and adaptation studies for a unified theoretical analysis of adaptations of the work of Alice Munro, demonstrating the affordances of the approach in furthering interdisciplinary research at the intersection of these fieldsThe book considers films and television programmes as complex multimodal stylistic systems in and of themselves in order to pave the way for a clearer understanding of screen adaptations as expressions of modal, medial, and aesthetic change. In focusing on Munro, Francesconi draws attention to a writer whose body of work has been adapted widely across television and film for an international market over several decades, offering a diachronic overview and insights into the confluence of socio-cultural contexts, audiences, and dynamics of production and distribution across adaptations. The volume complements this perspective with a microanalysis of the adaptations themselves, exploring the varied creative use of audio-visual dimensions, including sound, light, and movement. The book seeks to overcome simplified fidelity-based understandings of screen adaptations more broadly, showcasing creative multi-layered approaches to a creator’s oeuvre to effect true transformation across media and modes.The volume will be of interest to scholars in multimodality, adaptation studies, film studies, and comparative literature.

VEM BLIR NOBELPRISTAGARE i litteratur? Vad är det för slags författare och hur skriver de egentligen? Och är det möjligt att själv bli lika skicklig? I Skriv som en Nobelpristagare lyfter Kristian Fredén fram tio av dessa författargiganter och analyserar deras stil och texter för att inspirera flera att börja skriva eller förbättra sitt skrivande. Han börjar med Selma Lagerlöf, den första kvinnliga pristagaren och den första från Sverige. Hennes litterära skaparkraft fascinerar och inspirerar författarkollegor än idag. Varje kapitel inleds med en kortare skildring av respektive författares liv, med betoning på hur detta lyser igenom i deras verk. Därefter analyseras deras litterära stil och till slut serveras ett textuppslag med inflikade kommentarer av Fredén. Dessutom intervjuas en nutida svensk författare som stilmässigt påminner om Nobelpristagaren och som inspirerats av eller känner sig besläktad med denna.Vad har Selma Lagerlöf och John Ajvide Lindqvist gemensamt? Hur läser Jerker Virdborg Ernest Hemingway och Anna Hallberg Wisava Szymborska? Boken avslutas med övningsuppgifter utifrån respektive Nobelprisförfattares olika sätt att skriva samt kommen-terade lästips om pristagaren ifråga. Sedan är det bara en tidsfråga tills Sara Danius öppnar den berömda dörren och kungör att Nobelpriset i litteratur går till...
