A voice without a name
gothic homelessness in Ali Smith's Hotel world and Trezza Azzopardi's Remember me
pp. 132-146
Abstrakt
It is not just that some humans are treated as humans, and others are dehumanized; it is rather that dehumanization becomes the condition for the production of the human to the extent that a “Western” civilization defines itself over and against a population understood as, by definition, illegitimate, if not dubiously human. … [In this sense,] the spectrally human, the deconstituted, are maintained and detained, made to live and die within that extra-human and extra-juridical sphere of life. (2004, p. 91)
