Description

This study fills a major gap of Carters reception and enters into dialogue with current post-semiotical theories of the embodied subject by virtue of focusing on the dynamics of the meaning-in-process concomitant with the subject-in-process (Kristeva 1985) and the body-in-process. Through a corporeal narratological methoda close-reading interfacing of semioticized bodies in the text and of the somatized text on the bodythe author deciphers how the ideologically disciplined, normativized-neutralized, cultural body and its repressed yet haunting transgressive, corporeal, material reality (are) (de)compose(d by) the Carterian fictions destabilizing discursive subversions and vibrations surfacing in narrative blind-spots, overwritings, textual ruptures or rhetorical manoeuvres.
