| 摘要 | From Star Trek to Star Wars, popular culture is replete with images and signs of what might be called theological 'bad infinity' - that is, a law of endless binarism, of recurrent dualities of good and evil, the one (Anakin Skywalker) turning into the other (Darth Vader). I want to interrupt this disseminatory flow, in order to investigate how this essentially 'pagan' cosmology - of replicating balance, of law's symbolic harmony - is challenged, even undone, by an alternative, radical 'Christian' theology as embodied in the figure of Batman-as-Christological type. In so doing, I will 'use' popular culture (specifically Batman Begins) to propound a theology, as well as legality, of 'the Real,' drawing upon such sources as Slavoj Zi2ek, Alain Badiou, and Joseph Campbell. |
