{"product_id":"my-corpse-inside-9780820374949","title":"My Corpse Inside","description":"A provocative and meticulously structured exploration of identity, language, and the body, \u003ci\u003eMy Corpse Inside\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the thin and increasingly blurry line between the physical and the digital, between the living and the dead. Wes Jamison contends with the complex and disturbing relationship of sexuality and violence through a torrent of virtual horrors--shock sites, hookup apps, beheading videos, and creepshots--as well as through Jamison's own experiences of being surveilled and exploited online. Inspired by Kiyoshi Kurosawa's master horror film \u003ci\u003eKairo\u003c\/i\u003e, which portrays ghosts overflowing into our reality through the internet, this fragmented book-length essay clarifies Julia Kristeva's infamously esoteric theory of abjection and subjectivity and updates it for today's constant virtuality. \u003ci\u003eMy Corpse Inside\u003c\/i\u003e is a disquieting work that asks readers to confront the violence, fetish, horror, and loneliness inherent in our eternal connectivity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWES JAMISON is an assistant professor of English at Del Mar College.
