Reassembling Pain, Reassembling the Reading of Fiction : An Inquiry into the Ontology of Drama Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Description

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.
