| Inhoud: |
Weaving feminist, psychoanalytic, and postcolonial strands of social criticism, I recount an incident that is emblematic of the complex arrangements or dispositions of space in the Pacific. The specific moment - an encounter in the college classroom where an entangled racial-ethnic-gender dynamic of identification surfaced - acts as a catalyst for probing questions concerning expert systems of knowledge that constitute the institutional space of teaching/learning as distinctly rational; processes of identification where love and betrayal are dramatized; and domains of the political where embodiment, histories, memories, and racial fantasies come together in complex ways. Drawing on the concept of 'racial melancholia', I tease out the strands of this entangled dynamic and demonstrate how the corporeal and the psychic are intimately bound. |
