My Corpse Inside (Paperback)

Paperback. A provocative and meticulously structured exploration of identity, language, and the body, My Corpse Inside exposes the thin and increasingly blurry line between the physical and the digital, between the living and the dead. Wes Jamison contends with the complex and disturbing relationship of sexuality and violence through a torrent of virtual horrorsshock sites, hookup apps, beheading videos, and creepshotsas well as through Jamisons own experiences of being surveilled and exploited online. Inspired by Kiyoshi Kurosawas master horror film Kairo, which portrays ghosts overflowing into our reality through the internet, this fragmented book-length essay clarifies Julia Kristevas infamously esoteric theory of abjection and subjectivity and updates it for todays constant virtuality. My Corpse Inside is a disquieting work that asks readers to confront the violence, fetish, horror, and loneliness inherent in our eternal connectivity. Wes Jamison contends with the complex and disturbing relationship of sexuality and violence through a torrent of virtual horrorsshock sites, hookup apps, beheading videos, and creepshotsas well as through Jamisons own experiences of being surveilled and exploited online.
