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.

(S) Teaching privileged undergraduates, I sometimes had a chilling intimation that while I relied on their wish to mirror me and my skills and knowledge, they were motivated instead by seeing me as a cautionary figure: what might become of them if they weren’t cool enough, sleek enough, adaptable enough to escape from academia. LOL
評分重讀。相較於巴特勒的對言行理論的時間闡釋(citationality),Sedgwick從空間化角度來做“另類”補充。她提齣瞭periperformativity,進而延伸到舞颱錶演與劇場性的問題,又牽齣另一條綫情動理論。而修復式閱讀則更嘗試用愉悅的美學觀來解讀文本,這有點接近於福柯的自我技術。塞與巴同為酷兒研究的標杆性人物,Sedgwick卻更少被提及,想來巴特勒用拉康和福柯對前人的梳理、補漏、糾偏也“更適閤成為正典”。不過比起使用許多理論工具的巴特勒,她在書中就錶現齣瞭她對理論的“警惕”,警惕tautology of sexual difference. 她的研究某種意義上也實踐她的瞭她的“周邊”闡釋,一種點式的發散而非係統性的整理。讀的時候會像充滿智慧的長者在“溫柔”地和你對話。
評分brilliant!
