- Title
EXTREMITIES OF THE BODY: THE ANOPTIC CORPOREALITY OF AS I LAY DYING.
- Authors
Edwards, Erin E.
- Abstract
The article looks at the portrayal of corporeal experience in the novel "As I Lay Dying," by Martin Jay. Recent theoretical debate concerning the status of the human body is said to be anticipated in the necropoetics of the novel. Unstable figurative bodies were used to question and negotiate relations among body, subject and power in the literary work. The article also compares the use of vertical bodily image by Jay and philosopher Gilles Deleuze.
