Gil","doi":"10.5422/fordham/9780823290048.003.0006","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5422/fordham/9780823290048.003.0006","url":null,"abstract":"This chapter argues that Ben Jonson’s Volpone charts a massive cultural shift in which, within a rising capitalist order, a fully dualist understanding of resurrection is transformed into a legal personhood that allows the individual’s will to survive past the limit of death. Volpone represents the elegiac death knell for the specific form of counter-secularization that the rest of the book charts in which materialist and monist ideas of resurrection are celebrated for their critical power. However, Jonson’s own corpus of work is bifurcated between Volpone and his poetry, and most especially his poetry of praise and memorialization. In Jonson’s poetry he imagines that the separation of soul and body creates a gap in the symbolic fabric of the world, and he wants his poetry to fill this gap and he imagines his poems as an ersatz body. Jonson’s fantasy about poetry’s ability to make people present as textual bodies is similar to modern fantasies about the special incantatory power of “code” whether genetic code or computer-based code as a kind of language that does not represent but that enacts presence in the world.","PeriodicalId":285889,"journal":{"name":"Fate of the Flesh","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121180664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
