I mean really think about it?” asks Larry of Brad in Todd Field’s 2006 film Little Children, based on Tom Perrotta’s 2004 novel of the same title (Perrotta co-authored the screenplay of the film). Larry is a former police officer, forced into retirement due to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder after mistakenly shooting a teenager in a shopping mall. He is now spending his time persecuting a convicted sex offender, Ronnie McGorvey, who, having recently been released from prison, has moved in with his mother in the quiet suburb in which Larry and his family live. Larry justifies his attacks on Ronnie by appeal to a supposedly unimpeachable moral claim with an implicit grounding in a transcendent but unspecified authority which justifies an exception to the law: “Protect the children!” This particular appeal to an exception is fuelled by a fear of dangerous sexuality that Larry shares with a group of middle-class mothers who gather each day with their children at a local playground, their own fears managed and assuaged by a combination of their own highly regimented sexual lives, regulated within the framework of the patriarchal, heteronormative nuclear family, their outspoken desire for the sexual predator in their midst to be violently emasculated, and their coy fascination with “the Prom king” Brad—named Todd in the novel—a mesmerisingly handsome young father who visits the playground each day with his son. Underlying their unspoken fears are the fissures and fractures within the emotional and sexual lives of each of these characters: the unhappy marriages of the three young mothers (Mary Ann’s in particular, in the novel) and of Sarah (the fourth and odd-one-out among the mothers at the playground who resists her companions’ vitriol against Ronnie), the gender instabilities of Brad’s marriage to Kathy, who is the family breadwinner, and Brad’s secret fear that Larry is sexually attracted to him. In the background, perhaps more clearly in the film than the novel, are tensions around private and public space driven by tacit assumptions","PeriodicalId":53382,"journal":{"name":"The Bible and Critical Theory","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67577401","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}

We Don't Do Babylon: Erin Runions in English Political Discourse 我们不做巴比伦:英语政治话语中的艾琳·罗斯

Crossley","doi":"10.2104/BCT.V11I2.623","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2104/BCT.V11I2.623","url":null,"abstract":"There are several reasons why Erin Runions’ new book is important. For what it might be worth, I find myself in strong agreement with her anarchic reflections on authority, power and radical equality. In terms of the field, The Babylon Complex is a model of what biblical studies can be: it is both unashamedly from biblical studies but it also shows how biblical studies can contribute seriously to wider debates in the humanities, cultural studies and politics. In terms of the frame of reference, it is a significant contribution to the growth area of the role of the Bible in contemporary political discourses. Runions convincingly shows how the fluid and often ambiguous image of Babylon in American politics and culture is pervasive and is found in present debates about national sovereignty, hierarchy, wars, free markets, (theo-)democracy, family values, sexuality, biopolitics, and so on. What was particularly striking to me was that her general results about the Bible in American politics and culture are similar to what has been happening in my own area of research: the Bible in English politics and culture (Crossley 2014; 2015). Some emphases are obviously more prominent and polemical in American mainstream political discourses than British or English ones (e.g. explicit fears about sexuality). Nevertheless, the idea that the Bible functions as a higher authority is, as we will see, precisely what has been happening contemporaneously in English politics. One particularly important insight, which almost inevitably cuts across both contexts like a Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership, is the idea that transcendence functions as sovereign authority in the absence of such authority when the market is prioritized. In particular, Runions shows how this effectively has to be the case “if the United States wants to continue to lay an ideological claim to world power, and if lines of privilege are to be protected against the tyranny of too much equality (i.e. revolt).” Runions adds:","PeriodicalId":53382,"journal":{"name":"The Bible and Critical Theory","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67577262","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}
