Brian Evenson, in 'Mudder Tongue', regresses his ageing protagonist to a primitive speech disorder (how language begins, in children, with parts of speech out of sync), literally embodying the speechlessness of grief. The Real, as the Other, producible in everyday life through gaps, slips, speechlessness and the sense of the uncanny, exposes the sexist reliance on the (male) phallus as a referent in a world where meanings are found in gaps. Frankenstein's speechlessness (in Whale's 1931 film) or broken speech (he learns to talk in Bride of Frankenstein) must have resonated with anyone familiar with the broken English of Eastern European immigrants, while Dracula's origins in the Carpathian mountains further reinforced the perceived threat of corruption presented by East European immigrants. |
