This paper explores Alice Munro’s discourse on the lives of old age in the context of the ageing society in which the discourse of the elderly can make a positive role in social change. Based on the discourse of elderly people in the fields of social science, geriatrics, psychology and women’s studies, two works by Munro, “Dance of the Happy Shades” and “Dolly” are used as texts for this research. These works deal with characters who are able to work on their own in their seventies or eighties. This paper, in the elderly discourse of these works, tries to draw a positive aspect from the elderly and to find a productive way to become an anti ageist. The characteristics of Munro’s elderly discourse is unique. Munro does not expose the negative stereotypes of the elderly nor condemn false beliefs and ageism prevalent in society. Munro does not claim the need for reconstruction of contradictory order, but shows a reconstructed world already dismantled for readers. Munro presents an exemplary model that readers may follow. As Munroe’s method of elderly discourse suggests an alternative solution, more concerns and efforts are projected than other discourses that call for the need for reconstruction.
Abstract
This paper explores Alice Munro’s discourse on the lives of old age in the context of the ageing society in which the discourse of the elderly can make a positive role in social change. Based on the discourse of elderly people in the fields of social science, geriatrics, psychology and women’s studies, two works by Munro, “Dance of the Happy Shades” and “Dolly” are used as texts for this research. These works deal with characters who are able to work on their own in their seventies or eighties. This paper, in the elderly discourse of these works, tries to draw a positive aspect from the elderly and to find a productive way to become an anti ageist. The characteristics of Munro’s elderly discourse is unique. Munro does not expose the negative stereotypes of the elderly nor condemn false beliefs and ageism prevalent in society. Munro does not claim the need for reconstruction of contradictory order, but shows a reconstructed world already dismantled for readers. Munro presents an exemplary model that readers may follow. As Munroe’s method of elderly discourse suggests an alternative solution, more concerns and efforts are projected than other discourses that call for the need for reconstruction.
