America during the seventies as portrayed by Wes Craven, Peter Watkins, Hubert Selby, Jr., Philip K. Dick, Gustav Hasford and George A. Romeo is analyzed. The rhetorical device allegory, Barthes’s concept of mythology and Foucault’s concept of power relations are utilized in order to expose a discussion of the body under siege.
Artists explored the dark places of the American experience during the seventies. After providing an overview of the rhetorical device allegory, Barthess concept of mythology and Foucaults concept of power relations, the author establishes a connection between the works of art under discussion. The early seventies are represented by Wes Cravens The Last House on the Left, Peter Watkinss Punishment Park, and Hubert Selby, Jr.s The Room. The late seventies are represented by Philip K. Dicks A Scanner Darkly, Gustav Hasfords The Short Timers and George A. Romeros Dawn of the Dead. The book traces a shift from relations between bodies and authority towards bodies and technology.
