Annotation
Reads Hemingway’s themes of health and medicine through the lens of Michel Foucault’s theory of biopower, the politics of the body. Hausle analyzes the power structures hidden beneath the novel’s surface, covering the function of the hospital, role of geographical space, the military-health complex’s shaping of attitudes towards sexual activity, and Catherine’s pregnancy. Essay from Alex Vernon’s senior seminar on Hemingway.
