Abstract
Abstract:Dissatisfied by traditional metaphors of generational inheritance, this piece explores alternative ways of relating to a citational archive in order to open up the possibility for an erotics of citation. I performatively read two texts—Lee Edelman's "Seeing Things: Representation, the Scene of Surveillance, and the Spectacle of Gay Male Sex" (1991) and D.A. Miller's "Call for Papers: In MemoriumBarbara Johnson" (2011)—and chronicle my own experience as a reader in order to provide two examples of the ways citational association can productively spin out of control.
期刊介绍:
For over thirty years, diacritics has been an exceptional and influential forum for scholars writing on the problems of literary criticism. Each issue features articles in which contributors compare and analyze books on particular theoretical works and develop their own positions on the theses, methods, and theoretical implications of those works.
