  Tracks the literary rant, an expression of provocation and resistance that imagines the power to speak in its own name where no such right is granted. This title views the rant through the lens of Michel Foucault's notion of the biopolitical subject and finds that its abject address is an essential yet overlooked feature of modernism.
