Description

Touching Feeling: Affect, Pedagogy, Performativity by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick is a thought-provoking exploration of emotion and expression. In this collection of essays, Sedgwick draws on her work in queer theory to examine the complex relationships between affect, teaching, illness, shame, and sexuality. With virtuoso readings of key texts, she offers new insights into the nature of emotion and its role in shaping our experiences. Through a nuanced analysis of psychoanalysis, speech-act theory, Western Buddhism, and other theoretical frameworks, Sedgwick reveals how emotions can both unite and divide us. Her work is characterized by a commitment to understanding happiness as a fundamental aspect of human experience, rather than a rarefied ideal. This book is an intellectually daring and open-hearted exploration of the ways in which emotion shapes our lives. With its accessible and moving prose, Touching Feeling is a valuable contribution to literary studies and queer theory. It will appeal to scholars and readers interested in the intersections of affect, pedagogy, and performativity.
