| الملخص: | The Journals of Susanna Moodie (1970), Margaret Atwood’s response in text and in image to the accounts of pioneering by the eponymous nineteenth-century British immigrant, give form to the harrowing questions: where is one’s place when one has been displaced? What does it mean, then, to inhabit? Displacement refers to more than the act of emigrating and the psychological and geographical dislocation it entails. This paper contends that its disruptive force generates the sequence’s visual and poetic experimentations with representations of space. |
