Strange Encounters examines the relationship between strangers, embodiment and community. It challenges the assumptions that the stranger is simply anybody we do not recognize and instead proposes that he or she is socially constructed as somebody we already know. In this fascinating new book Saran Ahmed analyses a diverse range of texts which produce the figure of 'the stranger', showing that it has alternatively been expelled as the origin of danger - such as in neighbourhood watch or celebrated at the origin of difference - as in multiculturalism. However, the author argues that both of these standpoints are problematic as they involve 'stranger fetishism'; they assume that the stranger 'has a life of its own'. Using feminist and postcolonial theory this book examines the impact of multiculturalism and globalization on embodiment and community whilst considering the ethical and political implication of its critique for post-colonial feminism.

評分語言還是不夠簡練,論述的功底比較一般。
評分brilliant work!
評分語言還是不夠簡練,論述的功底比較一般。
評分隻看瞭引言、第一章、第三章、第五章。把“完全接受stranger”、“不接受stranger”和“部分接受stranger”全懟瞭一遍。但是卻沒有明確說明,到底什麼是“stranger”。stranger和others有什麼不同?stranger是本體論意義上的嗎?stranger能不能成為we?stranger成為we之後是否意味著被同化?“we”是不是就意味著絕對統一? 作者認為不應該讓stranger成為we,而應該讓stranger找到其in place。那麼這個place是否完全圈地自萌?而絕對的stranger又如何和其他文化相處?是否會因此成為作者所說的stranger danger? 感覺很多問題沒有說明白,推論的邏輯不夠清晰,且對於文本的分析有時過於扣字眼,缺乏說服力。
