The
present paper intends to closely analyze the character of Handel as a
trans-subject who evolves in the process of the novel of Jeanette Winterson,
Art and Lies. His oscillation between a priest and a physician would be
lime lighted through Catherine Malabou’s perspective of plasticity and
trans-subjectivation. Hence, the character’s mutable stance in regarding his
body as a cleric and a doctor would be spotlighted. Significantly, his
encounter with a feminine body would be expounded as a path in which he faces
the gap within the doctor character and the ecclesiastic one. The procedure of
his treating a female body would serve as the rupture inside where he
fluctuates between treating the womanly body as a man of God and a medical
doctor. Moreover, the transition from destructive plasticity (trauma) to
constructive self-realization would be illustrated as trans-subjectivityin
Picasso. Demonstrating art as the catalyst which brings about the evolution of
traumatic identity, the plasticity of art would be argued. Body as the realm in
which I and the other encounter would be spotlighted and the role of other as
the path to trans-subjectivation could be analyzed.
