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.

评分Sedgwick论述立场的平衡感保持地相当“优雅”，把Tomkins的情感理论放置在后结构的语境中。但和许多后结构理论家的底色不同，Sedgwick强调情感的政治潜力（尤其论述Jamesian shame behind his erotic semantics），并在最后一章为reparative reading被paranoid reading这样的strong theory“遮光”而鸣不平。阅读过程中，会十分强烈地为Sedgwick“提前”被乳腺癌夺去生命而惋惜。我看来她是那类真正的文学评论家，用文字折射生命经验，而且还力图跨越许多身份隔阂。可以说她目前是我最喜欢的理论家了。
评分brilliant!
评分Deeply engaged with private emotions and personal experience, Sedgwick starts with a queer reading of Henry James and ends with an inquiry of Buddhist notion of pedagogy, This book on affect and queer theory not only points out the limitation of our paranoid critical habits but also demonstrates a reparative approach towards reading and thinking.
评分Paranoid Reading and Reparative Reading: paranoid and reparative are rather devided as Kleinian position instead of characteristics of people; Paranoid in Freudian: drive-oriented, in Kleinian: affect-oriented.
