The final two sections examine contrasting theories that seek to bring bodily dissolution to speech. I contrast theorists Lee Edelman and Leo Bersani with the formulations of religious language by Julia Kristeva and Jean-Luc Nancy to examine faith's ambiguous potential to bring death to speech amidst the realities of dying bodies. |
