- W1557811777 abstract "Murakami: Love and Nothingness Haruki Murakami’s “Ice Man” extends love’s destruction of the self to completion, beyond a moment of rupture to a moment of absence. Murakami’s narrator marries the Ice Man, the radical Other, whose gaze pierces the heart of the narrating self and digests her body in its entirety. The Ice Man himself remains unknown, a polysemic physicality. Through the gaze, the Ice Man subjects the narrator to an erotic project, an eternalizing emphasis of the body, while the narrator simultaneously pours herself into the Ice Man, “seriously in love.” Thus, through internal and external forces the text enacts a self-Other exchange. Losing self and agency, she fulfills her role as narrator; to speak and then to be heard—the Ice Man crosses over her into the position of subject. He emerges into a community of ice in the South Pole, while she is othered in the same instant. The necessary division of bodies renders the narrator as a trace of the finite dispersed over the infinite. In the South Pole she becomes “lonelier than anyone else in the world.” Yet love persists. The Ice Man’s words and the narrator’s reaction conclude the story: “‘See how I love you,’ he says. He is telling the truth.” Can one love without a conception of self? Does love cease to function in emptiness? “Ice Man” exposes an unavoidable collapse of self beyond rupture into the infinite, which reconfigures the function of love. French theorist JeanLuc Nancy offers a reading of Lacanian love as a lack that must be filled, thereby bringing love into presence: love is that which fills emptiness with emptiness in order to share it. Nancy’s reading allows love to persist through Murakami’s zero-grade." @default.
