	Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sedgwick received her undergraduate education at Cornell University and her PhD from Yale University in 1975.
		Sedgwick was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1991, and wrote the book A Dialogue on Love about her feelings toward death, her depression, and her gender uncertainty following her mastectomy and during chemotherapy.
		Sedgwick has published several books considered groundbreaking in the field of Queer Theory, including Between Men: English Literature and Male Homosocial Desire and Epistemology of the Closet.

	village voice > books > A Dialogue on Love: Sedgwick haibuns. by David Kurnick
		Queer theory, with which Sedgwick's name has become near synonymous since the publication in 1990 of Epistemology of the Closet, is characterized by its critics as therapy conducted in print, a forum for self-indulgent academics to ruminate publicly on their unhappy childhoods and personal sexual histories.
		Sedgwick has written about herself before, and about the anomaly of her status as a gay studies guru who is also heterosexual and married.
		As Sedgwick puts it, the haiku are "the fat, buttery condensations and inky dribbles of the mind's laden brush." They capture precisely the way we attach a sense of ceremony to certain phrases, italicizing, savoring or stumbling over the words as we arrive at them.

	How to Avoid Being Paranoid (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Sedgwick seeks ways to ensure that the work of critics and educators always involves a depth of commitment and feeling and not the ritual gestures of a complacent vocation.
		Sedgwick now seeks ‘ways around the topos of depth or hiddenness, typically followed by a drama of exposure, that has been such a staple of critical work of the past four decades’ (8).

	A Dialogue on Love by Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick - R A I N T A X I o n l i n e
		In this memoir of her treatment for depression following recovery from breast cancer, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick sets out to explore the poetics of therapy; in the process, the author, one of the founders of queer studies, examines her own sexuality--a topic she has heretofore been reticent about.
		This absence of any meaningful connection between Sedgwick's work on gay studies and her own sexuality is never really examined in the book, and it only makes her erotic revelations all the more puzzling.
		Sedgwick's style is as ostentatious as her confessionalism.

		Sedgwick writes with great intelligence and an eye for irony, but always makes clear that her theories and critical acumen are in the service of a politic that seeks to make the world a better and more humane place for everyone.
		One of Sedgwick's worst vices more generally as an expositor of ideas is the frequent substitution of catalogue for patient interpretation and analysis (at times her catalogues run the length of miniature paragraphs).
		Sedgwick's main argument is as follows: she believes that homosexuality - male and lesbian - tends to be represented in both society and in literature as though it were an unstable, even deviant or perverse alternative to the fixed norm of heterosexuality.

	Salon Ivory Tower \| The reeducation of a queer theorist
		It was in these heady, body-fixated years that Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick came of age as the queen of queer theory.
		But it's precisely this personal, confessional reckoning that Sedgwick undertakes in "A Dialogue on Love." For Sedgwick to decide to make this move inward, she had to first arrive in a dark place -- the depression she'd battled on and off since childhood, which returned with a vengeance after her chemotherapy.
		When I met Sedgwick last month to talk about "A Dialogue on Love," she appeared to have recovered from her illness, though sadly, as she reveals in the book, the cancer has metastasized and is being called incurable.

		Sedgwick examines themes that pervade Gothic literature, such as "the sudden, mysterious, seemingly arbitrary, but massive inaccessibility of those things that should normally be most accessible" (13) a level above their representations.
		She examines motifs such as the "unspeakable," narrative difficulties in the linear progression of the story and conflation of the internal as archetypically Gothic.

		Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's epistemology of the closet, mapped onto the politics of the contemporary nation, offers, to my mind, a subtle instrument for making sense of places such as Hawai'i.
		Some of these strategies are those employed by sovereignty activists themselves, who wish to constitute their people as a recognized political entity--call it a nation--and who are entering into the available regimes and taking up the accepted nomenclatures in order to do so.

	Critical Theory: Eve Sedgwick
		Born in Dayton, Ohio and educated at Yale and Cornell, Eve Sedgwick's strikingly original work on homosocial desire has made her one of the founders of gay and lesbian studies in America.
		Sedgwick sees her work as "being strongly marked by a queer politics that is at once antiseparatist and antiassimilationist; by a methodology that draws on deconstruction among other techniques, and by writerly experimentation."
		A poet as well as a critic, Sedgwick has taught writing and literature at Hamilton College, Boston University, and Amherst College; she is currently Newman Ivy White Professor of English at Duke University.

	Untitled Document
		In analysing the relationship between Ambrosio and Rosario, it is evident that the two share a "social bond"; yet whether or not this bond is evidence of desire is uncertain.
		Kosofsky Sedgwick also describes points of 'radical disruption', which in The Monk appear to result from the heterosexist framework to which we are introduced on the very first page, through Lewis' statement: "The Men came to see the Women".
		The homosocial relationship between Ambrosio and Rosario is disrupted by "the ambient heterosexist culture" (Kosofsky Sedgwick Epistemology of the Closet 46) that is physically manifested in Matilda.

	Review Articles: July 1999
		Sedgwick graciously argues for a reparative turn in queer literary and cultural studies, a turn that allows for amelioration and works through quieter, less future-imperative, less inevitablist, more heterogeneous relations to texts.
		She adds that any attempt to understand modern Western culture "must be, not merely incomplete, but damaged in its central substance" (1), insofar as that attempt fails to take into account "the centrality of this nominally marginal, conceptually intractable set of definitional issues to the important knowledges and understandings of [this] culture" (2).
		The purpose of the anthology, however, is quite overtly to explore the intersections of an understanding of sexuality--one that presupposes the very homo/heterosexual divide Sedgwick identifies as central--with a specific understanding of the nature of sf itself.

		Sedgwick has hardly abandoned explorations of queerness-an essay on shame and Henry James's The Art of the Novel is about as queer as theory gets-but these five pieces find her attuned to the textures of things, and to things themselves.
		A pioneer in queer theory and literary studies, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick brings together for the first time in Touching Feeling her most powerful explorations of emotion and expression.
		Sedgwick's essays are brilliant, quirky, challenging, and deeply moving.

	Handout on Queer Theory: Eve Sedgwick
		NOTE: Much of this piece is devoted to the exposition of seven axioms, statements in which Sedgwick explores relations between queer studies and women's studies, lesbian identities and gay male identities, essentialist and constructivist assumptions about nature and nurture, and so on.
		In her second paragraph, Sedgwick insists on the "internal incoherence and mutual contradiction" of "commonsense views" (i.e., homophobic views) of human sexuality (1).
		Throughout this introduction, Sedgwick refers to the debate between "essentialist" and "constructivist" views of homosexual identity or "definition." How are these views related to the "nature versus nurture debate" discussed in her fourth axiom?

		Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick has made numerous contributions in the area of lesbian and gay studies (and is an expert in 19th and early 20th century literature as well).
		Ironically, Sedgwick's paper concerns the history and cultural impact of "masturbation phobia" -- the same paranoia exhibited by the "Post." In the opinion of salacious and simple minds, anything that refers to masturbating women must be "pornographic," especially if its attributed to a lesbian academic.
		Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick's anthology "Tendencies" was published in 1993 by Duke University Press, Box 90660, Durham, NC 27708-0660.

		In "Epistemology of the Closet," Sedgwick implied that in some sense she did need to explain how her life informed her ideas.
		Sedgwick's new book, "A Dialogue on Love," further explores the complex relationship between theory and lived experience.
		"The result of Sedgwick's inestimable influence has been, among her followers -- all of whom are college teachers or will someday be college teachers -- a deadness, not just to beauty and fineness of perception and fragile inner life, but also to human suffering."

		Writer Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and film director Kevin Smith both display through different types of media that homosocial activity can evolve from male bonding to exist in the same range as homosexuality.
		In the films of Kevin Smith and writings of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, homosocial activity evolves from the realm of male bonding to exist in the same plane as homosexuality.
		Sedgwick says that homosocial desire develops when “men promoting the interests of men” combines with the phrase “men loving men.” Kevin Smith’s films take the stance that homosocial desire may occur by two men expressing affection for each other as long as the affection does not become sexual.

		Sedgwick turns an unflinching eye on the dynamics of gender and identity that fail to fall into neat, heterosexual categories.
		She contends that the literature of James, Wilde and Cather call for a reading that is sensitive to the dissonances and ironies of a love that dare not speak its name; she interrogates the "naturalness" of heterosexual identity in literature and popular culture.
		This collection of essays is a meditation on sexuality in literature and life and on the artificial categories imposed on people because of their sexual orientation.

		This volume of poetry, short stories, and journal entries was selected and edited by noted Duke theorist Sedgwick from notebooks Fisher kept from high school through his death from AIDS at 32.
		The shock value and goriness is very reminiscent of David Wojnarowicz's "Postcards from America" and Eve Sedgwick, the editor, basically admits as much in her conclusion.
		Sedgwick makes clear that Fisher wanted the book's title, but it nevertheless underlines all the ugly issues that his life brings up.

		Critics have always assumed that the moral point of James's story is not only that May Bartram desired John Marcher, but that Marcher should have desired May, as well.
		Sedgwick suggests that May may feel desire for Marcher, but in the beginning she seems to get involved with him because she senses he's imprisoned by homosexual panic (their interchange about love is where she allegedly senses this).
