“If Jesus lived today, he would smell like smoke”
Influenced by critical race theory and drawing on historical Jesus scholarship, the paper discusses the portrayals of Jesus Christ in Philip Pullman’s novel The Good Man Jesus and the Scoundrel Christ (2010), and the poems written by young, mainly anonymous, poets found online on the social media platform Tumblr. The interpretation of Pullman’s novel and the selected poems is placed within the context of past and current struggles over the histor…
Localism, Locavorism, and Animal Rights in Olga Tokarczuk’s Novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead
Relying on insights from CAS (Critical Animal Studies), especially Vasile Stanescu’s and Robert C. Jones’s recent work on locavorism, and the studies of localism (by Andrew Stables, David Hess, Timothy O’Riordan and Doreen Massey, inter alia), the paper presents a reading of Olga Tokarczuk’s 2009 novel Drive Your Plow Over the Bones of the Dead which highlights the conflict between localism and locavorism on the one side, and universal animal rig…
“I believe a cage is a cage and no one deserves to be put in one”
The paper analyses diametrically opposite portrayals of animal liberation in four contemporary films (Denis Henry Hennelly’s Bold Native (2010); Kornél Mundruczó’s White God (2014); Chris Renaud’s The Secret Life of Pets (2016), and Joon-ho Bong’s 2017 Okja). The discussion of the films’ “politics of visibility” and its role in animal liberation is informed by the theoretical work being done in the field of critical animal studies (CAS). In CAS, …
Duel of Unequal Adversaries in South Slavic Epic Poems
This paper presents the various forms that the plot schema of conflict between unequal adversaries may take in a corpus of South Slavic epic folk poems. Mythological ancestors and the epic descendants of Goliath and David are analysed, as well as the original pattern of the battle between a man and a giant and its further transformations into individual duels of a weaker hero against a stronger adversary and collective conflicts where a small gro…
Captive Bodies
This paper argues that both Wuthering Heights (1847) and The Crimson Petal and the White (2002) investigate, expose and condemn the multifaceted inscription of a specific culture on the female body (via the construction of femininity)-the defleshing of female bodies, which in turn makes them docile (at least temporarily). With different degrees of explicitness, the two novels demonstrate how this specific--capitalist, imperialist, patriarchal--cu…
