TEXT 1
Critical literacy refers to the ability to actively and critically engage with texts, media, and information in order to understand, question, and analyze underlying power structures, ideologies, and assumptions. It goes beyond basic reading comprehension to involve a deeper examination of the social, political, and cultural contexts in which texts are produced and interpreted.
TEXT 2
The earliest accounts describe The Handmaid’s Tale (by Margaret Atwood) as a feminist dystopia: (a) it contrasts the present with an envisioned idealized society (separated from the present by time or space); (b) it offers a comprehensive critique of present values/conditions; (c) it sees men or male institutions as a major cause of present social ills; (d) it presents women not only as at least the equals of men but also as the sole arbiters of their reproductive functions.
The quotation also applies to dystopia, except that it deals with a negative society rather than an idealized one. Unlike a negative utopia or anti-utopia, [The Handmaid’s Tale] includes the promise of a return to our norm or to a more desirable state.
LECLAIRE, J. The Handmaid’s Tale: a Feminist Dystopia? In: LACROIX, J. M. et al. The Handmaid’s Tale, roman protéen. Presses universitaires de Rouen et du Havre, p. 85, 1999 (adapted).
Considering the texts, select the alternative that justifies why The Handmaid’s Tale is a viable option for a pedagogical activity involving critical literacy and the thematic of dystopia.
