About this title

Synopsis

Taking a fundamentally post-psychoanalytical approach, Bodies at Risk links philosophical and aesthetic issues in two distinct periods, with postmodernism continuing and amplifying the some of the central concerns of romanticism, including subject formation, the disruptive effects of the human body, and the unique forms of textuality they enable through risky personal and artistic conflicts. Neveldine investigates how the body, designated as queer or otherwise, has placed itself at risk, such that it has questioned dominant notions of what it is to be a human subject in Western society, roughly since the time of the romantics. Neveldine also explores how certain kinds of artistic conflicts have played themselves out in various texts in the romantic period and postmodernism, and what these conflicts have produced, both corporeally and textually. From Wordsworth's poem "Nutting" to Gregg Araki's film The Living End, from Mary Shelley's prose to the autobiographical fiction of Thomas Bernhard, the artifact radically interrogates our notions of textuality, setting aside its status as a mere imitation or representation, and becomes a testimony to the body's ability to resist oppression and create new types of human being.
