In the discussion of Atwood's poetry that follows here, I suggest that Atwood's poetics of metamorphosis contains this “violent duality” of oppositional forces (civilization and nature, male and female, etc.) but also offers a way of transcending it. Most critics have approached Atwood's work in terms of what Sherrill Grace has described as the aesthetics of “violent duality.” They point to a long line of oppositional forces that are laid out in startling contrast throughout Atwood's poetry and her prose. Margaret Atwood's poetry and poetics make clear that she shares this belief. While this process “is by no means without confusion and danger,” Lifton believes that “it allows for an opening out of individual life, for a self of many possibilities” (The Protean Self, p. This spatial turn in the justice movement is traced through three organizations: the Bus Riders Union and its initiating sponsor, the Labor/Community Strategy Center the Los Angeles Alliance for a New Economy (LAANE) and, most recently, the Right to the City Alliance.Ī poetics of metamorphosis In his book The Protean Self, the renowned American psychologist Robert Jay Lifton describes the contemporary individual as possessing an identity that is “fluid and many-sided… appropriate to the restlessness and flux of our time.” Like Proteus, the shape-shifting sea-god of Greek mythology, the contemporary individual is understood by Lifton to be engaged in an ongoing process of re-creating the self. Affected to some degree by the critical spatial perspective espoused by the Los Angeles research cluster, these new coalitions were among the earliest in the United States to adopt specifically spatial strategies, and in these cases, thinking spatially about justice made a difference. The Justice Riots of 1992, as they are now called, stimulated vigorous grassroots and place-based coalitions of labor unions and community-based organizations seeking to deal with the enormous inequalities and injustices brought about by globalization and the formation of the New Economy. A vital but often neglected part of the urban restructuring of Los Angeles has been a resurgent activism that has created some of the most innovative urban social movements in the country.
