Throughout, I examine how these feelings diffract through nodes in the texts and map out not only important differences between them, but also larger diffraction patterns that touch and move their readers: monstrous genders, language as a tool for resistance to abjection, queer kinships that lead to transformation, and a monstrous fury that reconfigures language. Taking up Karen Barad's notion of 'intra-action', I argue that the somatechnics of bodily feelings that move through these texts and push at their readers interpellate those of us who are open to thinking with Stryker into new and different understandings of language, materiality, and gender. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2013 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
