From a Corrupt Eden to Bio-Power: War and Nature in the Henriad
Original language description
In the Henriad, nature and war coexist. In Richard II, nature is identified with theauthority of the symbolic "other body" of the king, as well as with the ideal stateof existence, which is forever lost. In opposition to nature, war is the "infection"in the collective body of the nation, caused by the corruption of the king and hisadvisors. In the introductory monologue of the monarch in 1 Henry IV the linkbetween nature and war becomes imminent and threatening. The emergence ofFalstaff in this catastrophic situation does not merely represent the debasementof the unity of the humans with nature symbolised by the "grotesque body",the main agency of the "carnivalesque". When Henry V talks in disguise withcommon soldiers, he no longer makes a distinction between royal and divineauthority. Taking war as a just punishment for potential or undetected crimes ofhis subjects, he subscribes to the modern ways of policing the population, or inFoucault's terms, managing it as the "bio-power".
