“This book is as magisterial as it is nonpretentious. With attention to detail and a sensitivity to suffering, Lauren Berlant works within the textures of everyday life and language to think about and dislodge the many intractable, irritating, obstructive objects and structures that get in the way of living well. Berlant has left us with advice for reading and for living: use the contradictions introduced by objects, exploit their mutability, dwell in the gaps opened by their incoherence to think through the social world in its intersectional damage and complexity. A brilliant book, a singular and disconcerting style, a practice of solidarity.” — Judith Butler, author of The Force of Nonviolence

From Sedgwick I learned that it’s not an idea until you circulate it, whatever stage it has reached. From Cavell I learned that showing up with the bruised fruit of one’s perspective is what the argument requires to reshape the dynamic processes always on the move from and toward forms of life. These methodological commitments helped me see a way into writing that would be freeing. (查看原文)

（把之前发布在Goodreads 上的书评搬到豆瓣上，希望能给贫乏的简中互联网增添一点关于Berlant的讨论） Lauren Berlant’s works often strike me in an affective sense. They move me, unsettle me and disorganise me a bit, or a lot, in a way that not that many, if any,...

确实难读。把“给彼此造成不便”理解成哲学意义的生命存在力与社会/政治层面的正向构建力（或重建力）。重视“日常”范围内的情感碰撞与“引发不便”的互动。作者十分看重unlearning的概念，以此为基础打开norm，跳出association，偏离shape，并借助集体性的暂存和互相认可的空间进行社会层面的积极建设与改造。与此同时，最令人兴奋的一点是作者把写作（很大程度上是理论写作）和阅读当成一种不便... 确实难读。把“给彼此造成不便”理解成哲学意义的生命存在力与社会/政治层面的正向构建力（或重建力）。重视“日常”范围内的情感碰撞与“引发不便”的互动。作者十分看重unlearning的概念，以此为基础打开norm，跳出association，偏离shape，并借助集体性的暂存和互相认可的空间进行社会层面的积极建设与改造。与此同时，最令人兴奋的一点是作者把写作（很大程度上是理论写作）和阅读当成一种不便的制造（与创造），倡导一种聚焦具象关注又随时可以接受开放重塑的genre。 (展开)

延续了残酷的乐观主义中的讨论：如果说依恋是向外的牵引，那不便就是向内的调适。但不便不是需要超越的障碍，反而是认知的起点，因为它暴露了不平等结构制造的对压迫与被压迫者共同的麻烦与疲惫，制造了身份边界的扰动。不便的普遍存在打破了主权的幻想，迫使我们认识到自己始终在适应他者的欲望与存在，从而为不可避免的集体生存编织起临时的统一性（一种“过渡性的基础设施”）。

我觉得这本书最好的应用方向是对互联网空间作为某种intimate public并思考其中的Inconvenience的潜力和挑战。
