Testimonies in The testaments by Margaret Atwood : images of food in GileadLabudová, KatarínaIn The Testaments, Margaret Atwood takes readers deeper into her dystopian world of Gilead, also through the imagery of food and eating. The oppressive patriarchal regime enforces its power through ... dietary restrictions, reducing women into edibles. The Testaments (2019), moreover, creates the impression of a highly individual and authentic narratorial perspective. Thus, Atwood's characters' daily lives in a nightmarish theocracy are illustrated with images of dystopian food that reflect the limitations, constant control, and abuse of human rights in the Republic of Gilead. This article explores how Atwood employs the literary form of testimony to create fragments of individual lives in a dystopia brought closer to us through food metaphors and metaphors of cooking, or rendered shocking through metaphors of cannibalism. Since food (and lack of food) has emotional as well as political significance, it pervades the testimonial literature of oppressive regimes.Vir: Atwood at 80 (Vol. 17, no. 1, 2020, str. 97-110)Vrsta gradiva - članek, sestavni del ; neleposlovje za odrasleLeto - 2020Jezik - angleškiCOBISS.SI-ID - 58165763
