However, there is always a risk of appropriating the stories of those who have been silenced when claiming to give them a voice. Lisa Propst contends that British novelist and public intellectual Marina Warner provides some of the most thought-provoking contemporary responses to this dilemma. Propst demonstrates that Warner's writing, which spans from her early journalism to her novels, short stories, and studies of myths and fairy tales, challenges the authority of the writer to tell other people's stories. At the same time, it showcases the power of literature to create new ethical connections between people, prompting readers to reflect on their responsibilities and how they are implicated in social systems that perpetuate silencing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy examining how to combat silencing through narrative without reproducing it, Marina Warner and the Ethics of Telling Silenced Stories addresses a topic that is of critical importance not only to literature and art but also to journalists, policymakers, human rights activists, and individuals seeking to formulate their responses to injustice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 340g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 153 x 228 x 19 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780228004042\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Propst","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44099668541690,"sku":"9780228004042","price":25.87,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/02193ab7e10abdb882eb67089449753e.jpg?v=1621184493","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/marina-warner-and-the-ethics-of-telling-silenced-stories","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
