description |
<i>The Dragon Can’t Dance</i> (1979) and <i>The Wine of Astonishment</i> (1982) have been read as gestures of resistance and their characters as social types moving from mere victims of cultural oppression into purportive agents of their own destiny probably due to Lovelace’s open commitment to writing the folk. However, subjects and their identities should be read in wider networks of human relationships than the ones offered by the mere oppositional dualities of modernity. This work aims at describing Lovelace’s characters as not only tied to their own identities by conscience and self-knowledge but also still subject to social institutions by control and dependence. Therefore, the description suggests that self-identity can never be totally pulled apart from social control and that there are always traps for the gaze authorising certain institutionalized subjects to see the folk the way they do. |
