Nota di contenuto | Claire got her gun: tracking the anorexic horizon. Personal bodies, struggles, contexts, legends -- Historical contexts, limits, positions, anorexic philosophy: Descartes, Plato, Hegel, Freud -- Consumer culture, Nike, the relentless logic of the gym -- Philosophical anorexics: the flip side. From female disease to textual ideal, or what's modernism got to do with it. Inside every fat body there's a thin body struggling to get out: more historical contexts -- The metaphysics of the flame: Fasting Girls, Kafka's Letters to Felice, and "A Hunger Artist" -- "The Female is a chaos": male anorexia in Eliot and Pound -- He who embraces the flesh: anorexia and gender in Williams. "Should be out of it": starving the feminine in Joseph Conrad. Text over flesh: Heart of Darkness and the fat man -- Fat is primitive: anorexia as historical progress in Falk. Missing persons: the black hole of the feminine in Jean Rhys. Rhys's life: booze and black holes -- The "Problem with no name" (reprise): the constitution of female subjectivity in the black hole -- Jean Rhys, sexual harassment and the academy: manifestations of the "First Death", or "Clipping your students wings -- Beyond negation (?): Wide Sargasso Sea. |
