Abstract
In Leo Bersani’s essay “Sociality and Sexuality,” bracketing emerges as a critical procedure for sensing and for practicing nonsovereign forms of sociality. Following Foucault’s desire to discover modes of relation, forms of the homosexual, that do not yet have a world for their reception, Bersani brackets the literature on sociality and sexuality that has come before, including his own, which variously posits the homosexual and the queer as figures of radical negation. Averse to such recuperations of the sovereign self, Bersani’s bracketing instead makes space for the homoerotic as a set of fragile, experimental modes of relation in which the self is neither an enemy nor a heroic site of resistance.
在利奥·贝尔萨尼(Leo Bersani)的文章《社会性与性》(Sociality and Sexuality)中,包围法作为感知和实践非主权形式的社会性的关键程序出现。福柯渴望发现关系的模式,同性恋的形式,这些还没有一个世界可以接受,贝尔萨尼将之前出现的关于社会性和性的文学,包括他自己的文学,用不同的方式将同性恋和酷儿作为激进否定的人物。为了反对这种对主权自我的恢复,贝尔萨尼的分类反而为同性恋者创造了空间,作为一组脆弱的,实验性的关系模式,在这种关系模式中,自我既不是敌人,也不是反抗的英雄场所。
期刊介绍:
differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
