Web of Stories: Conversations with Cherie Dimaline.
Full text linkAs a non-Native scholar researching Native women's literatures, I ask myself some serious ethical questions. How do I find meaning in the texts I study? How do I learn from Native women's writing? Specific stories can work together to create cumulative narratives. Therefore, I focus my thesis on one specific voice, Cherie Dimaline. I interact with Dimaline's talk' through her novel, Red Rooms, and through a recorded conversation we had. My interpretation of Dimaline's talk is part of a process that acknowledges complex relationships and encourages dialogue. What I learn from Cherie Dimaline helps me answer the question of how I understand Native women's literatures: consider things in context, make connections from specific yet unfixed locations, recognize power dynamics in terms of race and gender, and learn responsibly from stories. --P. ii.The original print copy of this thesis may be available here: http://wizard.unbc.ca/record=b167717

Ayiti Cherie, my darling Haiti
No full textWhen it comes to Haiti, so much has been said; so much has been explored, dissected, and elaborated on, be it in the fields of fiction, nonfiction or poetry. Yet, there still remains a particular silence, a hole within every single one of these approaches – contemporary rural Haiti is rarely considered, if even considered at all. Given that at least ninety percent of the island is comprised of rural villagers, Ayiti Cherie, My Darling Haiti, a collection of literary nonfiction essays, brings stories from the Haitian countryside to the forefront and places them alongside current narratives on Haiti.Embargo status: Restricted until 06/2162.

Feministická sci-fi literatura: Mechanické století Cherie Priest
Full text linkFeministická Sci-fi Literatura: Mechanické století Cherie Priest Magisterská Práce Petra Nováková Abstrakt Marleen S. Barr, průkopnice feministické kritiky vědeckofantastické literatury, je otevřenou komentátorkou genderové nerovnosti v tomto žánru. Ve svých dílech Feministické fabulaci: Vesmírná / Postmoderní beletrie a v Budoucích ženách: Kritické antologii Barr definuje feministickou science fiction jako metafikci o patriarchální literatuře. Vymezuje se vůči autorům i kritikům, kteří recyklují příběhy limitované patriarchálním pojetím světa, a odmítá se podílet na propagaci literatury, v níž jsou ženy umlčeny či se stanou pouhými módními doplňky mužského hrdiny, které se chovají stereotypně ženským způsobem. Přestože Barr se zaměřuje na sci-fi literaturu orientovanou do budoucnosti a na zkoumání vesmíru, její analýza situace a postavení ženských postav je aplikovatelná i na žánr steampunku. Z tohoto pohledu může být feministická steampunk literatura chápána jako meditace o zavedených genderových normách. Tvorba Cherie Priest je zdárným příkladem inovativního přehodnocení genderových stereotypů, k čemuž Barr vyzývá ve svých kritických esejích. Jako žena i spisovatelka vědecko-fantastické literatury zvolila ve své steampunk sérii Mechanické století feministický přístup k science fiction. Ve svých románech...Feminist Science Fiction: Cherie Priest's The Clockwork Century Diploma Thesis Petra Nováková Abstract Marleen S. Barr, one of the pioneers of feminist science fiction criticism, is an outspoken commentator on gender inequality in this genre. In Feminist Fabulation: Space/Postmodern Fiction and Future Females: A Critical Anthology, Barr defines feminist science fiction as metafiction about patriarchal fiction. She speaks out against both authors and critics who recycle narratives restricted by a patriarchal view of the world in which women are silenced and/or relegated to the position of an accessory of the male hero, made to behave in a stereotypically feminine manner. While Barr does not include steampunk fiction but focuses on science fiction oriented towards the future and space exploration, her analysis of the female character's plight is nonetheless applicable to the steampunk genre. In this respect, feminist steampunk fiction can be read as a meditation on established gender norms. Cherie Priest's work is a prime example of such an innovative re-examination of gender stereotypes that Barr calls for in her critical work. As both a woman and a writer of science fiction, the author has adopted a feminist approach in her steampunk series The Clockwork Century. Among other things, Priest examines the role...Department of Anglophone Literatures and CulturesÚstav anglofonních literatur a kulturFaculty of ArtsFilozofická fakult
