Touching Feeling

Touching Feeling
内容简介:

A pioneer in queer theory and literary studies, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick brings together for the first time in "Touching Feeling", her most powerful explorations of emotion and expression. In essays that show how her groundbreaking work in queer theory has developed into a deep interest in affect, Sedgwick offers what she calls "tools and techniques for nondualistic thought," in the process touching and transforming such theoretical discourses as psychoanalysis, speech-act theory, Western Buddhism, and the Foucauldian "hermeneutics of suspicion." In prose sometimes sombre, often high-spirited, and always accessible and moving, "Touching Feeling" interrogates - through virtuoso readings of works by Henry James, J. L. Austin, Judith Butler, the psychologist Silvan Tomkins and others - emotion in many forms. What links the work of teaching to the experience of illness? How can shame become an engine for queer politics, performance, and pleasure? Is sexuality more like an affect or a drive? Is paranoia the only realistic epistemology for modern intellectuals? Ultimately, Sedgwick's unfashionable commitment to the truth of happiness propels a book as open-hearted as it is intellectually daring.


Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick is Distinguished Professor of English at the CUNY Graduate Center. She is the author of numerous books including A Dialogue on Love and Epistemology of the Closet. Her books Tendencies; Fat Art, Thin Art, a book of poetry; Novel Gazing: Queer Readings in Fiction; and Shame and Its Sisters: A Silvan Tomkins Reader (coedited with Adam Frank) are published by...

    重读。相较于巴特勒的对言行理论的时间阐释(citationality),Sedgwick从空间化角度来做“另类”补充。她提出了periperformativity,进而延伸到舞台表演与剧场性的问题,又牵出另一条线情动理论。而修复式阅读则更尝试用愉悦的美学观来解读文本,这有点接近于福柯的自我技术。塞与巴同为酷儿研究的标杆性人物,Sedgwick却更少被提及,想来巴特勒用拉康和福柯对前人的梳理、补漏、纠偏也“更适合成为正典”。不过比起使用许多理论工具的巴特勒,她在书中就表现出了她对理论的“警惕”,警惕tautology of sexual difference. 她的研究某种意义上也实践她的了她的“周边”阐释,一种点式的发散而非系统性的整理。读的时候会像充满智慧的长者在“温柔”地和你对话。

    paranoid reading,performativity……一年后聯繫到意識形態批判理論、聯繫到福柯,終於才在理論的脈絡中更加明確找到它的位置,並且這樣affect theory是實實在在具有實踐潛能的。
