Reformulating the Symbolic Universe: Kill Bill and Tarantino's Transcultural Imaginary

S.Vojkovic uses Judith Butler’ s reconfiguration of Lacanian psychoanalysis to examine Tarantino’ s transcultural universe in Kill Bill vol.1 (2003) and vol.2 (2004) – a universe marked by cultural exchange and influence between Asian and Western cinemas. Vojkovic argues that Kill Bill represents a fictional world where the Lacanian ‘ Law-of-the-Father’ does not hold. ‘ If psychoanalysis is to be brought into a productive relation with the emerging changes on the cultural screen’ , she argues, ‘ we need to explore the possibility of reworking the symbolic universe’ .
