- W2567472542 abstract "Jeffrey Jerome Cohen (2012) has written that “things, especially things that appear to hold themselves in silence, must possess a power indifferent to language … must be able to speak, exert agency, propel narrative” (p. 6). Although Western thought seldom applies such notions of subjectivity and agency to plants, narratives that feature menacing plants (or imagined versions of plants) have an established place within the horror genre. Uncertainty about the plant–human relationship is already evident in early English literature, including the fourteenth-century verse romance Sir Gawain and the Green Knight while, in modern times, this discomfort is expressed in such vegetal-themed films as The Wicker Man (1973) and Children of the Corn (2009). In these works, the vegetal is a powerful, dominant force that demands sacrifice. While human society has often associated sacrifice with fertility, abundance, and renewal, these narratives assert the autonomy and priority of the vegetal and connect plant domination with the tension between Christianity and heathen belief, suggesting that humankind is neither separate from nature, nor above it, contrary to some popular biblical interpretations. Despite religious validation of human hegemony, the echo of Gawain’s anxiety in later works suggests a persistent doubt, a fear that perhaps humankind does not, after all, enjoy divine preference—that ritual and sacrifice do not avail, for humans remain at the mercy of a vegetal world that will ultimately dismantle their illusory boundary between nature and culture." @default.
