Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 1989.

This thesis treats two distinct topics, the body and society. The challenge of addressing body and society in a single framework derives from Vico, who spoke of the "heroic education" required by mythic forbears to extricate themselves from the unwieldy giant bodies of the Titans. The Poetics of Embodiment follows Vico's precedent, regarding the imagination as equally germane to the "fictive certainties" of embodiment, and to the ideological countenance of society.Subjects--Topical Terms:

502 $a Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 1989.
520 $a This thesis treats two distinct topics, the body and society. The challenge of addressing body and society in a single framework derives from Vico, who spoke of the "heroic education" required by mythic forbears to extricate themselves from the unwieldy giant bodies of the Titans. The Poetics of Embodiment follows Vico's precedent, regarding the imagination as equally germane to the "fictive certainties" of embodiment, and to the ideological countenance of society.
520 $a The goal of this study is to articulate a poetics supportive of cross-disciplinary exchange, to make "theory" a dialogic agitation liberated from the constraints of methodological formalism. To this end a broad range of authors are substantively engaged, from anthropology (Geertz, Wagner), sociology (Bourdieu, Latour, McLuhan), philosophy (Hegel, Nietzsche, Bataille, Merleau-Ponty, Derrida, Rorty), critical theory (Barthes, Certeau, Jameson, White), psychoanalysis (N. O. Brown, Schilder, Van den Berg, Lacan, Hillman). As this is primarily a literary thesis, the range of authors cited is considerable; most prominent among them are Mallarme, Rilke, Woolf, Stevens, Paz, Olson, Ellison and Pynchon.
520 $a Part One reviews theories of embodiment, key terms being (1) proprioception, the "depth sensibility" of organic function; (2) body-image, the dramatization of an imaginary body as a site of intactness; (3) habitus, the culturally variable zone of bodily activity and social interaction.
520 $a Part Two discusses history as a rhetorical derivate of literary fiction. Global history is characterized as "the encompassing fiction." The problem is to articulate bodily subordination to history outside the customary vocabulary of "domination" and "repression." The solution: to examine ideologies of participation, to glean the ways "history" supports a psychology of assent.
520 $a Part Three examines the afflictions of bodies subjected to the derangements of historical norms (called "canontology"). Foremost among these is the alienation from language. A poetics therefore begins with the "phantom sensations" we feel whenever certain uses of language carry a visceral force--whether in poetry, rhetorical proficiency, interpersonal communication, or in psychotic states. "Making sense" is theorized as a condition in which everything can be apprehended as affirming a uniqueness, a special savor, an exception.
