Stomach-Churning Socialism? Biopolitics in Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle
By Yen-bin Chiou
REAL: Review of English and American Literature [Yingmei wenxue pinglun]
Little wonder that Alain Badiou, who argues practically along the same line, emphatically takes the condemnation of the life-preservation principle
to be a jump-off point for developing an ethical exterior perspective on biopolitical administration.
“Singing Pain”: Gaze and Voice in Toni Morrison’s Jazz
By Chia-chin Tsai
REAL: Review of English and American Literature [Yingmei wenxue pinglun]
In this regard, the author would argue in this paper that the indeterminacy and ruptures revealed by the narrating voices actually lay bare the diasporic “in-betweenness” that Homi Bhabha points out in The Location of Culture.
Excess / Passage: From the Affective and Athletic Body, the Naked Body, to the Body as Gift
By Tsu-Chung Su
REAL: Review of English and American Literature [Yingmei wenxue pinglun]
The presentation of the naked body in the theatre is often linked with and propagated by sexual liberation. While redrawing the boundaries of nudity in the performance, the production of Dionysus in 69 redefines the relationship between the audience and the performers and distinguishes the singularity of sensory experiences. In addition, the paper draws on Grotowski’s notion of “total act” to illustrate the idea of the body as gift. It focuses on examining the way Grotowski impacts and inspires Schechner and his Performance Group and it explores how the notion of the “body as gift” is played
out in the production of Dionysus in 69.
