Kto mówi? Queerowanie autobiograficzności u Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick

Abstract

The article presents some connections between Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s concept of queer and her first person academic theory. Beginning from defining queer as a process of being across, I explain what is queer autobiography (by some comments on Sedgwick’s A Dialogue on Love, 1997), and how we can relate this idea to some more theoretical transformations in Sedgwick’s general project. I am especially interesting in going beyond hermeneutics of suspicion toward reparative reading as a practice of rethinking community. The second goal is to adapt this theoretical transformation with Sedgwick’s own writings.
