Black Lives, Black Words aims at exploring Afrodiasporic experiences in multicultural cities such as Chicago and London, drawing on the lives of local communities but aiming to become a catalyst for change worldwide, while at the same time transferringthe discussion to the theatre in order to empower unheard voices in the artistic field. This article analyses three short plays that were performed at the reopening of the Bush Theatre in London in March 2017: The Interrogation of Sandra Bland, by Mojisola Adebayo, The Principles of Cartography, by Winsome Pinnock, and My White Best Friend, by Rachel De-lahay. By examining the three thematic and aesthetic axes of these plays, namely, amplification and choral performance, cartographies of struggle and white solidarity, I establish a parallel between the theatre productions and the Black Lives Matter movement, from which the project draws inspiration. At the same time, I argue for their potential to forge solidarity networks transnationally by dealing with social and political issues affecting Black communities across the US and the UK.","PeriodicalId":172515,"journal":{"name":"Atlantis.

{"title":"The Estrangement Effect in Three Holocaust Narratives: Defamiliarising Victims, Perpetrators and the Fairy-Tale Genre","authors":"María Jesús Martínez-Alfaro","doi":"10.28914/atlantis-2020-42.1.03","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28914/atlantis-2020-42.1.03","url":null,"abstract":"espanolCon frecuencia se afirma que la literatura del Holocausto produce disrupcion y extranamiento. Dado que el Holocausto desafia formas tradicionales de expresion, las escritoras y escritores han explorado tecnicas alternativas, a veces combinando distintos (meta)generos y registros. Este es el caso de obras que tratan sobre el Holocausto a partir de la reescritura de cuentos populares. Se genera asi un efecto de extranamiento o desfamiliarizacion de dichas fuentes que tiene que ver con la busqueda de nuevas posibilidades de representacion. El articulo se centra en examinar el modo en que tres obras de este tipo—de Lisa Goldstein, Louise Murphy y Rachel Seiffert—formulan alternativas al metarrelato tradicional del Holocausto, que se caracteriza por centrarse en las victimas y facilitar la empatia del lector o lectora por los personajes. En las obras aqui analizadas, por el contrario, la linea que separa victimas y perpetradores se desdibuja, de forma que la relacion del lector o lectora con los personajes participa del efecto de extranamiento anteriormente mencionado. El articulo considera tambien el papel que juegan los secretos en las tres obras, al contribuir estos al extranamiento de los personajes con respecto de la lectora o lector. Este hecho complica el proceso de identificacion e invita a profundizar en el debate sobre las limitaciones de las categorias convencionales y de binarios tales como los basados en las dicotomias victima/ victimizador y secreto/publico. EnglishHolocaust literature has often been described as producing disruption and estrangement. As the Holocaust challenges traditional forms of expression, writers have used alternative techniques, sometimes blurring genres and registers. This is the case with Holocaust narratives that rewrite fairy tales or use fairy-tale motifs and structures: they produce an estrangement effect in that their intertexts are defamiliarised as a strategy for opening up the possibilities of representation. This article focuses on three works of this kind, by authors Lisa Goldstein, Louise Murphy and Rachel Seiffert. Specifically, it considers how they constitute an alternative to the sanctioned metanarrative of the Holocaust, which is victim centred and facilitates the reader’s empathy. Indeed, the works discussed here complicate the categories of victim and perpetrator, thus problematising our engagement with the characters in a way that furthers the abovementioned estrangement effect. Attention is paid to the role played by secrecy in each narrative, as I contend that it is the secret and its effects in the diegesis that keep the characters at a distance, “estranged” from the reader. This distance precludes easy identification and invites critical discussion on the limitations of familiar categories and binaries, such as the victim/victimiser opposition and the public/secret dichotomy.","PeriodicalId":172515,"journal":{"name":"Atlantis.

The scenario echoes current theoretical interest in the Buddhist concept of no-self as a model of self that is suited to the postmodern condition. This article argues that since the fundamental Buddhist principles conceptually accommodate the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics—the key to the novel’s structure—and the metaphysical framework of postmodernity, Ozeki’s novel illuminates the empowering aspects of the fractal nature of postmodern selves, while charting the possibilities for their actualization.

Those structural factors, together with the various forms of resilience Harjo developed, which included a variety of creative expressions, would eventually give cohesion to her identity, in a long-term, resilient creative process that involved integrating and then releasing through her writings her experiences of violence.

It is structured in three parts: an approach to the term queer, a reading of the queerness (and feminism) of Gilman’s text and an analysis of the queer (and feminist) aspects of the film. The third part also responds to the only academic essay about PBS’s production, by Janet Beer, which ignores the movie’s queer character. This section discusses the queer treatment of topics—the instability of identity, autoeroticism, lesbian tendencies, mental illness, women’s solidarity, and gender and class inequalities—while dialoguing with film critics such as Linda Hutcheon and Laura Mulvey. The queer use of formal resources—light, shots, sound, music, symbolism and scene-motifs—is also highlighted. My ultimate aim is to demonstrate that The Yellow Wallpaper is an innovative queer adaptation of Gilman’s piece for a modern audience.

Beyond the significance of the Latina boom that marked the 1980s and 1990s, the latest generation differs from their predecessors in important ways, amounting to a paradigm shift in US Latina literature that needs to be thoroughly explored. To carry out this task, I have selected three canonical Latina boom novels: Sandra Cisneros’s The House on Mango Street (1984), Julia Alvarez’s How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents (1991) and Cristina Garcia’s Dreaming in Cuban (1992). These texts will be contrasted with Angie Cruz’s Soledad (2001), Achy Obejas’s Days of Awe (2001) and Felicia Luna Lemus’s Trace Elements of Random Tea Parties (2004). My contention is that while the US Latina literary boom might have sought synthesis or the creation of a third space, associated with Gloria Anzaldua’s consciousness of the borderlands , these twenty-first century female writers offer representations of nonnormative sexualities that take indeterminacy and ambiguity to a limit that defies all resolution.

Lewandowski","doi":"10.28914/ATLANTIS-2019-41.1.02","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28914/ATLANTIS-2019-41.1.02","url":null,"abstract":"The Yankton Sioux writer and activist Gertrude Bonnin (1876-1938), better known by her Lakota name, Zitkala-Sa (Red Bird), was perhaps the most prominent Native American woman of the early twentieth century. In her writings, she consistently overturned conventions of language and meaning to subvert and criticize the American discourse of civilization. Bonnin’s use of English as a tool of resistance has invited misrepresentations and misunderstandings. Criticism can be distilled into three interpretive frameworks: liminal, assimilationist and bicultural. Liminal scholarship focuses on Bonnin’s 1900 semi-autobiography for the Atlantic Monthly , which laments the author’s separation from her birth culture. Assimilationist criticism springs from extra-literary sources, concentrating on her anti-peyote and pro-US citizenship campaigns. Finally, bicultural criticism argues that Bonnin’s knowledge of both the white and the Sioux world allowed her to form a compelling critique of Euro-American society from differing cultural and linguistic discourses. Recently, however, more forceful interpretations on Bonnin have begun to emerge. They identify her as either a promoter of Gerald Vizenor’s concept of “survivance” or as a forerunner of the Red Power movement. This article traces and dissects the evolution of Bonnin scholarship, pointing to emerging perspectives from which to interrogate her work and the direction future research and analysis could take.
