Ew! Gross! Abjection, Affect, and Bodily Fluids

Presiding Officer: 
Soren Frohlich, University of California, San Diego

From the bloody birth in Hemingway's "Indian Camp" and Rosasharn Joad's breast milk to Douglass' "cold sweat of death" and Albee's incontinent, old woman A, bodily fluids are liminal markers of transitions in life. This panel invites papers on the affective dimension of bodily fluids in literature and popular culture.
