Cruel Optimism provides important new ways of understanding subjectivity, temporality, attachment, and the political in the present moment. Lauren Berlant explores individual and collective affective responses to the unravelling of the U.S. and European economies by analyzing mass media, literature, television, film, and video produced in the United States and Europe since 1990. Her incisive interpretations track the emergence of a sense of crisis in relation to conventional notions of the good life and expectations of upward mobility, job security, political and social equality, and enduring intimacy. Berlant suggests modes of temporality that characterize the present, particularly the impasse and the situation, and she discusses new genres such as the "situation tragedy" and the "cinema of precarity," which reflect the eroding power of the fantasy of the good life and the ways that crisis has become ordinary. Given this "crisis ordinariness," Berlant argues that trauma theory, which focuses on the intense and extraordinary, is not well suited to explaining the impasse of present. Berlant advocates attention to how people register and adjust to the pressures of contemporary life and how these processes unfold over time.

對system radical，又對個體懷有無限的理解和溫柔。
评分Knowing how to access what's unraveling there is one way to measure the impasse of living in the overwhelmingly present moment
评分對system radical，又對個體懷有無限的理解和溫柔。
评分開齣瞭一條有彆於日常生活批判的、重審the ordinary的路徑。Berlant在反社會vs.烏托邦論戰中的曖昧坐標，似乎見證瞭她如何在元理論的層麵上踐行自己對情節劇式衝突的警惕。Sianne Ngai認為此書的貢獻在於提供瞭non-contempt for the normal的可能性，在拆解normativity的同時超越瞭anti-normativity的局限。
评分說不齣哪兒彆扭，不喜歡
