Violence in the South Seas: Stevenson, the Eye, and Desire
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

"In both The Ebb-Tide and "The Beach of Falesá," then, there is a strong element of symbolic violence, focused around the image of the eye. The text that Bataille (mis)quoted on the eye as “cannibal delicacy” [in the Critical Dictionary] shows a congruent preoccupation with violence, albeit treated in less symbolic ways." --"Violence in the South Seas: Stevenson, the Eye, and Desire" by Ralph Parfect |
