This article introduces the book "An Archive of Feelings: Trauma, Sexuality, and Lesbian Public Cultures," written by Ann Cvetkovich and edited by Michéle Aina Barale, Jonathan Goldberg, Michael Moon and Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick. In chapter 1, the author surveys the theoretical influences that guide the book's approach to trauma. Chapter 2 argues that lesbian sex cultures can add to trauma theory by juxtaposing butch-femme discourses about sex with a classic text of trauma theory, Sigmund Freud's Beyond the Pleasure of Principle. Chapter 3 continues the book's discussion of sexual trauma by exploring lesbian public cultures that have formed around incest. Chapter 4 addresses trauma as a national category even more explicitly by asking what queer transnational publics reveal about the traumatic histories of migration and diaspora that haunt the construction of the nation. Chapters 5 and 6 take on AIDS, which has been acknowledged as a national and global trauma. Chapter 7 looks at the intersections between archives of trauma and archives of gay and lesbian history. The book concludes with a brief epilogue that considers how the many representations of the murder of Brandon Teena constitute a case of queer trauma in the national public sphere. |
