This essay explores Leo Bersani’s use of intellectual uncertainty, openness, and tautness in his writing to create a space for thinking about “what is politically unfixable in the human” (Homos 71). In particular, this essay, which travels under the banner of the word perhaps, pays attention to Bersani’s first brief, then extended response to Jean Genet’s statement (in the context of his play, The Maids), “I suppose that there is a union for domestic servants—that is not our affair.”
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.
