"Can Alain Badiou's phenomenology speak of bodies?"
Oliver Feltham
American University of Paris, France
Through a strict application of Alain Badiou's new logical phenomenology appearing in English translation in December 2008 this paper will examine the theatrical creation of a perceptible collective body in the theatrical work of Dario Fo; the body of hunger, specifically "the servant's hunger" (La fame dello zanni). Badiou's own work on theatre, including his plays, assigns itself interlocutors such as Brecht and Claudel, and privileges a literary approach to theatrical dialogue. The wager of this paper is that by interrogating Badiou's philosophical work from the standpoint of a resolutely physical and corporeal theatre, such as Fo's commedia dell'arte, one will not only be able to theorize the creation of what Meyerhold called a 'collective corporeal act' but one will also be able to actually situate the debate over whether a logical phenomenology can indeed speak of subjectivity and the perception of bodies.
