Abstract

ABSTRACT This piece uses Sara Ahmed’s writing on the notion of public comfort as a jumping off point and incorporates fat studies scholarship to explore the private comfort offered by fat queer love. Working with digital posts from superfat non-binary writer J Aprileo (Comfy Fat) on Instagram, Patreon, and their website, and to a lesser extent the posts of Corissa Enneking (Fat Girl Flow), this paper examines the power of queer fat kinship to contravene the expectation for fat people to embody the “Good Fatty” archetype and to resist the dominant narratives surrounding acceptable trajectories of linear “progress.” Looking at fat queer kinship underlines how comfort is relationally experienced and generated. The internet is explored as a space for comfy intimate publics, and Aprileo’s work is situated in a lineage of fat queer activism and affective resistance.
舒适胖酷儿之爱:通过亲属关系的情感数字抵抗
这篇文章以Sara Ahmed关于公共舒适概念的文章为出发点,结合脂肪研究的学术研究来探索肥胖酷儿之爱所提供的私人舒适。本文结合了超胖非二元作家J Aprileo(舒适胖)在Instagram、Patreon及其网站上的数字帖子,以及Corissa Enneking(胖女孩流)的帖子,在较小程度上研究了酷儿胖亲缘关系的力量,它违背了人们对胖子体现“好胖子”原型的期望,并抵制了围绕可接受的线性“进步”轨迹的主导叙事。关注肥胖的酷儿亲属关系强调了舒适是如何在关系中体验和产生的。互联网被探索为一个舒适亲密的公众空间,而Aprileo的作品处于肥胖酷儿行动主义和情感抵抗的谱系中。
