Dawn Thompson analyses these works through an epistemological theory that shifts critical perspective in surprising ways.Under consideration are two classics of Canadian literature, Nicole Brossard's "Picture Theory" and Margaret Atwood's "Surfacing", as well as three lesser-known works: Marlene Nourbese Phillip's "Looking for Livingstone", Beatrice Culleton's "In Search of April Raintree", and Régine Robin's "La Québécoite". Thompson develops a theory of 'holographic memory,' in which texts are performances that invite constant revision, remodelling, and interaction between narrative, memory, and, potentially, reality. This theory is informed by de Lauretis's semiotics of subjectivity, Derrida's memoire radicale, and physicist David Bohm's theory of holographic quantum reality.Reading these works of Canadian literature through a theory of holographic memory, Thompson successfully combines literary and cultural studies without sacrificing one to the other. She adds to and creates an alliance between feminist, post-colonial, and marxist theory, furthering political work in each of these areas. The interdisciplinary nature of Writing a Politics of Perception will attract scholars and students in a variety of fields, including Canadian and Québec literature, comparative literature, women's studies, cultural studies, philosophy, and the social sciences. 606 $aCanadian fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism 606 $aWomen and literature$zCanada$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aCanadian fiction$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aSubjectivity in literature 606 $aHolography in literature 606 $aPerception in literature 606 $aMemory in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aCanadian fiction$xWomen authors$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aWomen and literature$xHistory 615 0$aCanadian fiction$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aSubjectivity in literature. 615 0$aHolography in literature. 615 0$aPerception in literature. 615 0$aMemory in literature. 676 $a813/.54099287/0971 700 $aThompson$b Dawn$f1963-$01000084 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456437003321 996 $aWriting a politics of perception$92476882 997 $aUNINA
