ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts of the key concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book presents course of action against neoliberal culinary psychopolitics through combining the coordinates of anorexia as a figuration of dis-identification from a neoliberal psychopolitics of food and cannibalism in the original sense of the term. The Archaeological Dinner was one of Prune Nourry's installations/performances presented in the Magda Danysz gallery in Shanghai in autumn 2013, and subsequently in Paris in the spring of 2014. This is a representation that reflects the epochal panic with the unruliness of the proletariat who preferred to risk the gallows than submit to the emerging conditions of wage-slavery. In this sense, anorectic cannibalism emerges as both a radical actuation of a sectarian split from the alimentary and culinary psychopolitics, and as a radical unruliness against the neoliberal colonisation of life.
