Summary

"Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick writes with intense precision, and yet her work directs us toward the domain where meaning is music, unquantifiable, enigmatic, nonlinguistic. If the performative speech act, with all its relation to norms and laws, is central to the reception of her work in queer theory, then the performativity of knowledge beyond speech--aesthetic, bodily, affective--is its real topic."--Lauren Berlant, author of "The Queen of America Goes to Washington City"
