To grasp?.Lear.’s.?.encounter between politics and identity, the play demands a wider understanding of the religious influence on political thought. As Lear himself realises, sovereignty is an extreme, glamorous example of a deeper category: sacred office.?.Lear?.also shows duty intersecting with a hierarchy of bastards, outlaws, women, waifs, and monks. This book introduces concepts like?.petit treason., civil death, and waivery into political theological studies, complicating Agamben’s models. Goneril’s treason shows the sovereign’s consort and children are consecrated lives too. Lear’s crisis of "self-knowing" stages a landmark critique of office. The promise of his poignant speech before the prison is foreclosed by Shakespeare‘s invention: an officer dutifully murdering Cordelia. This book’s conclusion, through Hannah Arendt, reconsiders?.Lear.’s.?.persistent association with the Holocaust. | | 出版日期 | Book 2024 | | 關(guān)鍵詞 | Shakespeare; King Lear; Office; Duty; Identity; Political theology; Power; Morality | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-031-40157-2 | | isbn_softcover | 978-3-031-40159-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-3-031-40157-2Series ISSN 2731-3204 Series E-ISSN 2731-3212 | | issn_series | 2731-3204 | | copyright | The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerl |
