Should We Still Be Reading Margaret Atwood? | CanLit, White Feminism, and Settler Colonialism Virginia Woof 2020-11-19 | Is Margaret Atwood "problematic"? Does her writing have implications for settler colonialism in Canada? Is The Handmaid's Tale a white feminist text? Why do white women align with white patriarchy? In this video I expand on my previous discussion of Atwood's role in UBC Accountable and dive more into her writing as a settler, her position in shaping the canon of CanLit (Canadian literature), and her participation in r*pe culture as a white feminist. Something I didn't get to in this video was discussing Atwood's transphobic tendencies and the way she clings to biological essentialism. There are a few articles on her "we can't say woman anymore" twitter moment from October 2021, but there have been more recent incidents as well: -independent.co.uk/voices/margaret-atwood-medical-trans-feminist-b1943534.html -broadview.org/margaret-atwood-trans-tweetsSources: -Clarkisha Kent: theroot.com/the-black-woman-s-tale-why-margaret-atwood-s-espousal-1822138695-Eugenie Park on Atwood's op-ed: thewellesleynews.com/2020/09/12/when-your-fave-is-problematic-the-issue-with-margaret-atwood-On Survival: http://canadian-writers.athabascau.ca/english/writers/matwood/survival.php-On Surfacing: https://www.academia.edu/29758864/Colonialism_in_Margaret_Atwoods_Surfacing_docx-Colonialism & postcolonialism in Atwood's writing: https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.673.4856&rep=rep1&type=pdf-On Survival & Surfacing (warning for picture of a dead fox as the opening image): http://notesandqueries.ca/first-reading/surfacing-resurfaces-by-emily-m-keelerVideos Mentioned:-CanLit as an Institution: youtube.com/watch?v=hXXeL5JyLnM&t=1s-The Penelopiad: youtube.com/watch?v=EOWj11wiiH8&t=452s-Esi Edugyan: youtube.com/watch?v=zyq4PjoXd20-Lawrence Hill: youtube.com/watch?v=CtGUc9i2aX8Instagram: instagram.com/virginia.woof
