Artistic Bodies: Queer Space and Reproduction in Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go

Panel: 
From Ideal City to Cyberspace: Architecture and Urban Space in Utopian/Dystopian Literature and Film
Abstract: 

This essay claims that Ishiguro’s novel, Never Let Me Go, equates urban space with heteronormative bodies and rural space with nonheteronormative bodies, representing the queer experience, and argues that the novel uses queer bodies to explore modes of production that produce goods and (re)produce heteronormativity.
