“That Listening Mien”: Queer and Psychoanalytic Intersubjectivity in Sedgwick’s Autotheory (original) (raw)

American Book Review, 2022

Abstract

This essay explores the nature of psychoanalysis’ conspicuous presence in the bourgeoning genre of autotheory through Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick’s A Dialogue on Love (1999). A Dialogue takes place between the four walls of the therapeutic space, as Eve and her analyst, Shannon Van Wey, take turns in recounting the story of their sessions and bond. I propose that Sedgwick and Van Wey’s interaction also proposes a unique theorization of intersubjectivity that combines the psychoanalytic and the queer perspectives.
