Disaffected – The Cultural Politics of Unfeeling in Nineteenth–Century America: Perverse Modernities: A Series Edited by Jack Halberstam and Lisa Lowe

Autor Xine Yao
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2021
In Disaffected Xine Yao explores the racial and sexual politics of unfeeling--affects that are not recognized as feeling--as a means of survival and refusal in nineteenth-century America. She positions unfeeling beyond sentimentalism's paradigm of universal feeling. Yao traces how works by Herman Melville, Martin Delany, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, and Sui Sin Far engaged major sociopolitical issues in ways that resisted the weaponization of white sentimentalism against the lives of people of color. Exploring variously pathologized, racialized, queer, and gendered affective modes like unsympathetic Blackness, queer female frigidity, and Oriental inscrutability, these authors departed from the values that undergird the politics of recognition and the liberal project of inclusion. By theorizing feeling otherwise as an antisocial affect, form of dissent, and mode of care, Yao suggests that unfeeling can serve as a contemporary political strategy for people of color to survive in the face of continuing racism and white fragility.
