  • The Spectralization of the Other and the Zombie Francisco Goldman's the Ordinary
    Francisco Goldman’s The Ordinary Seaman: The Spectralization of the Other and the Zombie Francisco Goldman’s The Ordinary Seaman revisits the myth of the zombie in 20th century United States. Goldman’s portrayal steers away from the most frequent representation of the zombie in popular culture as the infectious walking dead, to concentrate on the zombie-spectral subject as the dispossessed, the abandoned and the disposable. The article places this revision of the zombie at the center of a critical matrix that draws from Agamben’s vision of the homo sacer, Kristeva’s conceptualization of the abject, and Butler and Spivak’s concept of spectral humans. Bare life, the abject and the spectral contribute to creating a vision of the present that is contemporaneous to a repeating past of subjection and subordination. Key words: spectral, zombie, bare life, abject, neoslavery We do not know it, we cannot really know it, but abandoned being has already begun to constitute an inevitable condition for our thought, perhaps its only condition. Jean Luc Nancy. The Birth to Presence The nineteenth century, with its classic regime of industrial capitalism, was the age of the vampire. But the network society of the late twentieth and twenty-first centuries is rather characterized by a plague of zombies. Steven Shaviro. Connected, or What It means to Live in the Network Society As Deleuze and Guattari put it, “the only modern myth is the myth of zombies — mortified schizos, good for work, brought back to reason” (335). In fact, the last few decades have seen an explosion of zombie movies, from George A.

  • The Secrets to My Success Melinda Curtis
    The Secrets to My Success/Melinda Curtis/Page 1 The Secrets to My Success Prequel The Mountain Monroe Series By Melinda Curtis Copyright © 2019 by Melinda Curtis The Secrets to My Success/Melinda Curtis/Page 2 Chapter One “Daniel, you need to wrap this up, so it doesn’t become a story.” Daniel Cross stared across his boss’ desk, a wide oak monstrosity built at least fifty years ago, probably about the same time Sirus Quinby began practicing law in Philadelphia. Wrap it up? How many additional hours do I have to put in before Christmas? He’d already logged in forty hours this week and it was only Wednesday afternoon. Not that the hours themselves were unusual, but this time of year there was a memory that dragged his steps, an emotional scar that refused to heal. Mr. Quinby’s desk was piled high with thick manila folders filled with the last wills and testaments of many of the wealthiest men and women in America. The heftiest folder sat open on the old man’s stained blotter, that of Harlan Monroe, a self-made multi-millionaire. Harlan was dying and his legal affairs weren’t buttoned up. “Daniel, pay attention.” Mr. Quinby snapped his bone-thin fingers at his junior partner, an action that seemed to exhaust him. He slumped, rumpling his pea green tie. “When I mentioned this to Harlan, your name came up. Your name. All confidentiality agreements must be accounted for. We’re missing three.” Only three? Out of nearly one hundred? Did this small loop-hole need to be closed before Christmas? Daniel had a ritual around the holidays.
