Stories in a New Skin is a seminal text that explores these Arctic literary traditions and, in the process, reveals a pathway into Inuit literary criticism. Author Keavy Martin considers writing, storytelling, and performance from a range of genres and historical periods - the classic stories and songs of Inuit oral traditions, life writing, oral histories, and contemporary fiction, poetry and film - and discusses the ways in which these texts constitute an autonomous literary tradition. She draws attention to the interconnection between language, form and context and illustrates the capacity of Inuit writers, singers and storytellers to instruct diverse audiences in the appreciation of Inuit texts. Although Eurowestern academic contexts and literary terminology are a relatively foreign presence in Inuit territory, Martin builds on the inherent adaptability and resilience of Inuit genres in order to foster greater southern awareness of a tradition whose audience has remained primarily northern. 410 0$aContemporary studies on the North ;$v3. 606 $aInuit literature$zCanada$xHistory and criticism 610 $aArctic. 610 $aFirst Nations. 610 $aIndigenous. 610 $aInuit literature. 610 $aoral history. 610 $apoetry. 610 $astorytelling. 615 0$aInuit literature$xHistory and criticism. 676 $a809/.889712 700 $aMartin$b Keavy$01642062 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816949503321 996 $aStories in a new skin$93986580 997 $aUNINA
