Beschreibung
Explores Beckett's artistic vision at the intersection of queer, disability and posthumanist studies This book examines why Beckett's writing is so queer, so disabled and disabling. Why did Beckett write so often about mental illness, disability, perversion. Why did he take such an interest in 'abnormals' and 'degenerates'. How did he reconceive 'the human' in the wake of Hitler and Stalin. Drawing on Beckett's voluminous archive, as well as his primary texts, the authors use psychoanalysis, queer theory, disability theory and biopolitics to push Beckett studies beyond the normal. Seán Kennedy is Professor of English and Coordinator of Irish Studies at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia.
