摘要

This research explores the ways cannibalism in Chuck Palahniuk’s novelHaunted (2005) and Nicolas Winding Refn’s film The Neon Demon (2016)are a consequence, and reflective, of the consuming nature of creativeindustries. The research draws from this exploration that the consumptivecharacteristics of cannibalism often allegorise the processes and careers ofartists. Specifically, the sacrificial nature of putting oneself into one’s work,the notion of the tortured artist, and the competitive nature of creativeindustries, where the hierarchy is ascended through others’ losses.In the framing narrative of Haunted, seventeen writers are trapped withinan isolated writing retreat under the illusion of re-enacting the VillaDiodati and writing their individual masterpieces. When inspiration failsthem, they sabotage their food supply in order to enhance their suffering,and thus their eventual memoirs. The writers turn to cannibalism, not onlyto survive but to remove the competition. By consuming each other, theyattempt to manufacture themselves as ‘tortured artists’, competing tocreate the most painful story of the ‘writing retreat from hell’.In The Neon Demon, the protagonist, Jesse, begins as an innocent youngwoman who becomes embroiled in the cutthroat modelling industry.Favoured for her natural beauty, Jesse antagonises her fellow models,developing narcissistic tendencies in the process. At the film’s end she iscannibalised by these rivals, indicating the industrial consumption of herpurity, the restoration of individual beauty by leeching off of the young,and the retaining of the hierarchy by removing the competition.Employing close readings of both literary and cinematic primary sourcematerial, this interdisciplinary study investigates a satirical trend withincultural representations of cannibalism against consumptive andcompetitive creative industries. In each text, cannibalism manifests as a consequence of these industrial pressures, as the desire for fame forcespeople to commit unsavoury deeds. In this regard, cannibalism acts as anextreme extrapolation of the dehumanising consequences of workingwithin this capitalist confine.
