Reassembling Pain, Reassembling the Reading of Fiction, 1st ed. 2021 An Inquiry into the Ontology of Drama
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Baudner Eric
The present book deals with Sarah Kane?s dramatic text Cleansed to show a specific negotiation of violence, pain, life and death ? one that is not necessarily causal or dichotomous. Instead, a new mode of reading, based on Bruno Latour?s take on Actor-Network-Theory, helps to make fictional worlds simultaneously intelligible in a mediate and in an immediate way. This results in an unprecedented understanding of how language can influence and modify ontological configurations. Eventually, this allows for a re-evaluation of political problems that occur in the 20th and 21st century.
Introduction.- Textual pre-figuration.- Ontological pre-figuration.- How to reassemble reading.
