- W2921328623 abstract "Abstract When Lana Winters of American Horror Story: Asylum releases footage of inhumane conditions at Briarcliff, she does so without the consent of those depicted. Her reliance on the suffering at Briarcliff to forward her own goals echoes two other key figures in Asylum: Dr Arden and Monsignor Howard. Arden’s advocacy of medical science and its potential to save humanity seem in sharp contrast to his horrific experimentation on what he sees as bare, wasted life. His position as fictional character with past experience as a Nazi doctor grounds his actions in a nexus of hyperreality and banality. Monsignor Howard believes himself a paragon of the church, whose obsessive ambitions towards Rome contrast his murderous, lustful and corrupt behaviours. He is not only complicit in Arden’s experimentation, but he takes life himself; yet, as he moves to New York as Cardinal, he looks past those abominations to focus on the greater good of the institution. In an echo of that wilful blindness, Lana is capable of looking away from the suffering of the very people she takes as an object. What makes Lana ever so slightly different from the others is her movement through the category of bare life (Agamben 1995: various) and her subsequent refusal of a ‘futurism that’s always purchased at [the] expense’ of the marginal (Edelman 2005: 4). The social institutions that the characters operate within allow and encourage their sociopathy (Asma 2009: 244–45). The danger of the institution is its capacity for creating and concealing monstrosity." @default.
