Like Blackness, woman, incest, and sex, queerness, as Edelman explains it, designates the antagonism, the structuring negativity, preventing that order from achieving coherence. But when certain types of persons get read as literalizing queerness, the negation of their negativity can seem to resolve the social antagonism and totalize community. By translating the nothing of queerness into the something of "the queer," the order of meaning defends against the senselessness that undoes it, thus mirroring, Edelman argues, education's response to queerness: its sublimation of irony into the meaningfulness of a world. Putting queerness in relation to Lacan's "ab-sens" and in dialogue with feminist and Afropessimist thought, Edelman reads works by Shakespeare, Jacobs, Almodovar, Lemmons, and Haneke, among others, to show why queer theory's engagement with queerness necessarily results in a bad education that is destined to teach us nothing"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Nothing Ventured: Psychoanalysis, Queer Theory, and Afropessimism -- Learning Nothing: La Mala EducacioÌn -- Against Survival: Queerness in a Time That's Out of Joint -- Funny/Peculiar/Queer: Michael Haneke's Aesthetic Education -- There Is No Freedom to Enjoy: Harriet Jacobs's Negativity -- Nothing Gained: Irony, Incest, Indiscernibility. 650 0 $a Queer theory. 650 0 $a Homosexuality $x Philosophy. 650 0 $a Homosexuality $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Homosexuality $x Philosophy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959777 650 7 $a Homosexuality $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00959809 650 7 $a Queer theory. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01739572 776 08 $i Online version: $a Edelman, Lee, 1953- $t Bad education $d Durham : Duke University Press, 2022 $z 9781478023227 $w (DLC) 2022002027 830 0 $a Theory Q. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117011826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1E17858EF47811EDA3FB15433FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
