Sentir abatido, regresivo y maquínico: Teoría queer y el giro afectivo

Autores/as

  • Wen Liu University at Albany, State University of New York

Resumen

La impliación de la teoría queer con el giro afectivo, particularmente en su divergencia con las discusiones previas preocupadas con el desarrollo histórico y la crítica postestructuralista de la identidad sexual, ha generado tres cepas diferenciadas, aunque relacionadas de trabajos del afecto: la negatividad queer, la temporalidad queer y lo queer como cuerpo maquínico. Cada una de las cepas ha planteado diferentes desafíos y potenciales analíticos tanto para la teoría queer como para la teoría del afecto, que nombro respectivamente como sentir abatido, sentir regresivo y sentir maquínico. Estos tres tipos de trabajos describen las varias formas de socialidad y niveles de intensidad con las que el cuerpo queer es afectado y traen tres contribuciones particulares a la teoría queer, incluyendo una profundización en la comprensión de los procesos culturales, desplazando la epistemología a la escala temporal, y ampliando la ontología sexual más allá de su privilegio espacial de la experiencia euro-americana.
