Global Agency between Bond and Bourne : Skyfall and James Bond in Comparison to the Jason Bourne Film Series
View through CrossRef
Skyfall (2012) signals a crisis in global espionage in a post-9/11 era of
schizophrenic digital terror. James Bond and his enemy are both internally
excluded from their agency—MI6—and this “abjection” leads to terrorist
revenge and sovereign reaffirmation. The latter involves a survival test for
007’s vulnerable body while simultaneously recovering a national identity
for the United Kingdom. In this sense, James Bond mirrors Jason Bourne,
the ex-CIA agent in the Jason Bourne film series. Bourne undergoes a
similar abjection yet becomes neither terrorist nor sovereign but instead a
symptom of perpetual mind-games. This chapter compares Bond to Bourne
to enable a cognitive mapping of the twenty-first-century espionage genre
and its global system of sovereignty and abjection.
