This article presents what Slavoj Žižek calls ideological ‘unmasking’ as a central feature of Virginia Woolf’s pacifist agenda. Accompanying the rise of extreme nationalisms during the 1930s and 40s, the article argues that militaristic discourse ‘masks’ the bodies of unknown others as dangerous antagonists in order to justify their violent deaths. Patriotic commemoration, however, renders domestic soldiers free from this precarity as men whom Judith Butler calls ‘grievable’ subjects, or those who continually engage in acts of warfare on their nation’s behalf because it grants them cultural visibility despite their bodily undoing. In Woolf’s pacifist writings, then, a stylistic use of terminological clashes and ambiguities undoes this antagonism by highlighting a transgressive site of shared vulnerability where a new, more peaceful language for understanding the diversity of human existence arises. Ultimately, this literary aesthetic invites reformed styles of international diplomacy by upholding otherness not as something or someone in need of erasure but a locale where pacifist thinkers can foster productive, ethically-engaged dialogue among all individuals, places, and beliefs.

Utopianism contains myriad tensions between the individual and collective, which are often acted out on the body. To engage with these tensions, this paper postulates a theoretical framework conceptualizing the body as heterotopia: simultaneously a real corporeal space and a performed locus of social values. Such a conceptualization, which draws heavily from the works of Michel Foucault, Judith Butler, and Ruth Levitas, enables the negotiation of these tensions and draws out the entanglements in and between the body, utopianism, the individual, and the collective. This framework is then both demonstrated and complicated by way of two literary case studies: we explore the notion of ‘hyperempathy’ in Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower, and tattooed bodies in Ray Bradbury’s The Illustrated Man. These concepts are put to work to flesh out our central claim: heterotopia—signifying the body and its relationship to utopianism—remains the best conceptualization to approach and understand tensions relating to the individual and collective in utopianism. This provides a theoretical basis on which others can build to help tackle moral and political issues related to the tensions laid bare.
