"And Rescue Us from Ourselves":On the Biopolitical Writing and Imaginative Community in The Sea Wolf
Manifested in The Sea Wolf,the individual freedom under the operation of the modern sovereign machine is not only one of the issues that Jack London pays close attention to,but also an urgent democratic dilemma in the Progressive Era of the United States.London's"Leviathan"parable embodies his critical atti-tude towards the tramp policy.As a political community,The Ghost incorporates the crew into its biopolitical operation at the cost of individual freedom.Eventually,every single crew could be classified as"bare life"at any time.As a way out,by fictionalizing a coming community in which all forms of life are no longer divided,London expresses his non-violent political stance of resistance.
