dc.description.abstractThis chapter seeks to understand what the body can do for the American cancer collective by examining two exemplars of cancered bodies in American popular culture —Bryan Cranston’s portrayal of Walter White on AMC’s Breaking Bad and the well-known symbol of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the St. Jude’s Child. Ostensibly occupying opposite ends of a spectrum that houses cultural connotations of how cancered bodies should look, sound, and act, Walter White and the St. Jude’s Children help reveal nuanced ways in which cancered bodies operate as vectors of identity and ideology.
