Touching feeling

Informationen zum Autor Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick Klappentext "Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick writes with intense precision, and yet her work directs us toward the domain where meaning is music, unquantifiable, enigmatic, nonlinguistic. If the performative speech act, with all its relation to norms and laws, is central to the reception of her work in queer theory, then the performativity of knowledge beyond speech--aesthetic, bodily, affective--is its real topic."--Lauren Berlant, author of "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City" Zusammenfassung Brings together the author's exploration of emotion and expression. This work features essays which offer "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." Inhaltsverzeichnis Acknowledgments xi Introduction 1 Interlude, Pedagogic 27 1.
