  • Escapism and the Ideological Stance in Naomi Novik's
    B R U M A L Revista de Investigación sobre lo Fantástico DOI: https://doi.org/10.5565/rev/brumal.606 Research Journal on the Fantastic Vol. VII, n.º 2 (otoño/autumn 2019), pp. 111-131, ISSN: 2014-7910 «I DIDN’T OFFER TO SHAKE HANDS; NO ONE WOULD SHAKE HANDS WITH A JEW»: ESCAPISM AND THE IDEOLOGICAL STANCE IN NAOMI NOVIK’S SPINNING SILVER SARA GONZÁLEZ BERNÁRDEZ Universidade de Santiago de Compostela [email protected] Recibido: 12-06-2019 Aceptado: 11-09-2019 AbsTRACT Naomi Novik, an American writer of Lithuanian-Polish ascendency, is one of the most acclaimed voices in contemporary young-adult fantasy fiction. Her fantasies are heav- ily influenced by her cultural heritage, as well as by the fairy tale tradition, which be- comes most obvious in her two standalone novels, Uprooted and the subject of this es- say, Spinning Silver. As the quote chosen for this essay’s title demonstrates, Novik’s second standalone work constitutes one of the most obvious outward statements of an ideological stance as expressed within fantasy literature, as well as an example of what Jack Zipes (2006) called transfiguration: the rewriting and reworking of traditional tales in order to convey a different, more subversive message. This paper considers how Novik’s retelling takes advantage of traditional fairy-tale elements to create an implicit critique of gender-based oppression, while at the same time, and much more overtly, denouncing racial and religious prejudice. The ideological stance thus conveyed is shown to be intended to have consequences for the reader and the world outside of the fiction.

Spinning Silver (2018) by Naomi Novik Miryem is the daughter and grand- daughter of moneylenders, but her father’s inability to collect his debts has left his family on the edge of poverty— until Miryem takes matters into her own hands. Hardening her heart, the young woman sets out to claim what is owed and soon gains a reputation for being able to turn silver into gold. When an ill- advised boast draws the attention of the king of the Staryk—grim fey creatures who seem more ice than flesh—Miryem’s fate, and that of two kingdoms, will be forever altered. “A perfect tale . rich in both ideas and people, with the vastness of Tolkien and the empathy and joy in daily life of Le Guin.” — NY Times Book Review Uprooted (2015) by Naomi Novik “Moving, heartbreaking, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I've been waiting a lifetime for. Clear your schedule before picking it up, because you won't want to put it down.” — NPR “Uprooted is also part of the modern fairy-tale retelling tradition, because it is very much concerned with which stories get told, why and how they are told, and what truths might underlie them. That focus makes the novel not just exciting, but emotionally satisfying, and very much worthy of reading.” — TOR.com The Bear and the Nightingale (2017) by Katherine Arden “Arden’s supple, sumptuous first novel transports the reader to a version of medieval Russia where history and myth coexist.

M.A. June 2005. Telecommunications Mapping Notions of Cyberspace: Optimism, Skepticism, and the Issues of Identities and Spirituality (151 pp.) Director of Thesis: Drew McDaniel This is a literature survey on concepts of the Internet and cyberspace and their influence, both on society at large and at the individual level. On society, it discusses the optimistic and skeptic views on the impact of the Internet. At the personal level, it discusses issues of self and identity, and spirituality and religiosity. Except for spirituality and religiosity issues of the Internet, this work chose one author to represent each category: Howard Rheingold for the optimistic view, Clifford Stoll for the skeptic view, and Sherry Turkle for the issues of self and identity. The author’s critiques on those notions are offered in the last chapter. The author argues that the diversity of notions on the Internet can be put in a broader historical and social context. These notions reflect the ever-present questions about the relationship between human and its technologies.

    A Selection of Children's and YA Fantasy Books Cashore, Kristin Graceling Fire Bitterblue Cashore's novels are complex. since her protagonists must reconcile themselves their undesired powers and the responsibilities their skills impose. Graceling focuses on a young woman, Katsa, whose special talent, or "grace," makes her almnost undefeatable in combat. All "graced" persons must serve the king, and Katsa, from childhood, has been groomed as her royal uncle's personal assassin. She slowly realizes that she can use her skill to protect Bitterblue, the daughter of a neighboring kingdom's sadistic king, Leck. The second novel--the most intensely- realized of the three--focuses on Fire, a woman of the kingdom where Leck was born, who must come to terms with her inherited power of irresistible attraction and to discern the threat the child Leck presents to her country. Bitterblue continues the story of the rescued princess.

  • Ursula Le Guin and Theological Alterity Elizabeth Anderson Stirling, March 2016
    Ursula Le Guin and Theological Alterity Elizabeth Anderson Stirling, March 2016 Recent years have seen terrorist action (from attacks in New York, Bali and London in the early years of the millennium to bombings in Ankara, Istanbul, Brussels and Lahore in the week of finalising this piece), American and British reprisals in the form of bombardment and land wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, heightened Western awareness of neo-imperialism and a growing global refugee crisis. Theological disagreements between those of different faiths may be turned towards violent ends as politically motivated conflicts use religion as a mobilising force. The imbrication of politics and religion is becoming a matter of growing interest for young adult writers and readers. Authors such as Karen Healey, Naomi Novik and Melina Marchetta re-deploy the tropes of fantasy writing, the creation of other worlds, the quest plot and the use of magic, to craft a mode in which the fantastical is sacred and world creation involves engagement with religious difference. Unlike Narnia’s Deeper Magic or Middle-Earth’s angel-worshipping Elves, the endgame of these texts is not a colonizing logic of sameness that focuses on the defeat of an evil Other, but rather dialogue and resolution that refuses the binary of victorious/vanquished. The work of American writer Ursula K. Le Guin is crucial to this shift because she is a highly respected and influential writer of science fiction and fantasy and has been explicit about her philosophical influences.1 Most the criticism on Le Guin and religion has focused on the influence of Daoism on her writing; these discussions tend to emphasise the traces of Daoism in her novels as largely pertaining to the philosophy of the narrative investments and character development.2 Le Guin has been exploring religion in her fiction for decades, from the Daoist Equilibrium in the early Earthsea books to the earthy sacred songs and dances of the Kesh in Always Coming Home (1985) to the critique of both rationalist and monotheistic totalitarian regimes in The Telling (2000).

  • American Gods
    Sanni Petäjistö “IT WASN’T ME, IT WAS MY DEAD WIFE” Death and Immortality in Neil Gaiman’s American Gods Information Technology and Communication Sciences Master’s thesis November 2020 2 TIIVISTELMÄ Sanni Petäjistö : “It wasn’t me, it was my dead wife” : Kuolema ja kuolemattomuus Neil Gaimanin American Gods -romaanissa Pro gradu Tampereen yliopisto Englannin kielen ja kirjallisuuden tutkinto-ohjelma Marraskuu 2020 Kuolemattomuus on iso teema spekulatiivisessa fiktiossa. Sekä fantasia- että tieteisfiktiossa käsitellään kuolemattomuuden mahdollisia positiivisia ja negatiivisia puolia. Pro gradu -tutkielmassani tarkastelen kuolemaa ja kuolemattomuutta Neil Gaimanin American Gods (2001) -teoksessa laji- ja sosiaaliopintojen avulla. Minua kiinnostaa, kuinka American Gods -romaanin hahmot suhtautuvat kuolemaan tai sen puutteeseen ja kuinka se mahdollisesti ohjaa heidän toimiaan. Teoriaosiossa tarkastelen ensimmäiseksi, kuinka kuolemaa ja kuolemattomuutta käsitellään yleisesti fantasia- ja tieteiskirjallisuudessa. Sen jälkeen tarkastelen kuolemattomuusnarratiiveja ja kuinka niitä hyödynnetään sekä fiktiossa että todellisuudessa. Viimeiseksi selvitän, miten kuolemaan on suhtauduttu amerikkalaisessa yhteiskunnassa 1990-luvulla ja miten siihen suhtaudutaan tänään, kaksituhattaluvun alussa. Analyysiosiossa tarkastelen asennetta kuolemaa kohtaan kolmesta eri näkökulmasta American Gods -romaanin henkilöhahmojen avulla. American Gods kuvastaa melko hyvin amerikkalaisia asenteita kuolemaa ja kuolemattomuutta kohtaan kaksituhattaluvun alussa. Romaanissa
