Abstract:
|
Emotions present a problem for contemporary political theory: they are private, excessive, and irrational. Passions drive fundamentalist movements; fuel the politics of terror; and lead to unthinking identifications. In short, emotions are dangerous. In failing to develop an adequate account of passion, however, contemporary political theory fails to understand how affect moulds bodies (both individual and collective), shapes political reality, courses through and configures socio-political space, and underpins inter-subjective relations. I turn to the work of William Connolly to help me make my argument. I show how ideas developed by Connolly to understand how an ethics of generosity can be generated can also be used to understand the perpetuation of relations of subordination. To illustrate my case I examine the writings of Audre Lorde. |

| ‘to be material means to materialize’ and ‘where the principle of that materialization is precisely what “matters” about that body its very intelligibility’ (1993: 32). Matter and meaning are inextricably linked. To materialize is to become meaningful; it is to fit within a particular frame of intelligibility sustained through the reiteration of regulatory norms. The materialization of Lorde’s body as a hated-hateful Black body is thus secured through normative violence. See Lloyd 2007: 68-77. 15 To clarify: I am |
