- Description
- Like the un-titillating spectacle of a strip show, the Song of Songs has bared more than enough of its flesh in the critical frenzy of interpretation. And yet, for some reason that is beyond me, "flesh" is always assumed to be of the human variety, muscle covered with skin, neglecting that vast and delectable realm of the flesh beyond human beings. But let us begin with human flesh, via Leopold von Sacher Masoch and the essay "Unsafe Sex" by Virginia Burrus and Stephen Moore (2003) before passing over to non-human flesh and ecocriticism, the very belated new kid on the theoretical block.
