From the films of Larry Clark to the feminist comedy of Amy Schumer
to the fall of Louis C. K., comedic, graphic, and violent moments
of abjection have permeated twentieth- and twenty-first-century
social and political discourse. The contributors to Abjection
Incorporated move beyond simple critiques of abjection as a
punitive form of social death, illustrating how it has become a
contested mode of political and cultural capital-empowering for
some but oppressive for others. Escaping abjection's usual confines
of psychoanalysis and aesthetic modernism, core to theories of
abjection by thinkers such as Kristeva and Bataille, the
contributors examine a range of media, including literature,
photography, film, television, talking dolls, comics, and manga.
Whether analyzing how comedic abjection can help mobilize feminist
politics or how expressions of abjection inflect class, race, and
gender hierarchies, the contributors demonstrate the importance of
competing uses of abjection to contemporary society and politics.
They emphasize abjection's role in circumscribing the boundaries of
the human and how the threats abjection poses to the self and
other, far from simply negative, open up possibilities for
radically new politics. Contributors. Meredith Bak, Eugenie
Brinkema, James Leo Cahill, Michelle Cho, Maggie Hennefeld, Rob
King, Thomas Lamarre, Sylvere Lotringer, Rijuta Mehta, Mark
Mulroney, Nicholas Sammond, Yiman Wang, Rebecca Wanzo
