Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper is a neuroqueer reading of the novel A Room Called Earth (2020) by Madeleine Ryan. In the paper, we explore and theorise a neuroqueer reading practice. Ryan’s novel depicts a neurodivergent experience of life and the world, through a neurodivergent literary form and style. Reading as neurodivergents, the content and the form melt together – it is more than ‘literary style’, it is a way of existing. This reading, and our writing about our reading, is not neutral. It is an engaged and personal reading, where we let our reading subjects fuse with the text. Important in our neuroqueer reading practice is the context of reading and writing. In the article, we explore how sharing our readings in a neurodivergent collective opens up an understanding of the world, the text, and ourselves, which works both as a healing process and sharing of experiences of sensory desires. We argue that the neurodivergent experience is different when experiences as a collective rather than individual experience – the feelings of reading, becomes when shared, something more and other. Earthlove is, through our reading, an experience of sensory/textual desire, and neurodivergent collective acts of love and self-love. Reading it feels like love.

标题:地球之爱——理论化神经分化读者对一个叫做地球的房间的爱
本文是对玛德琳·瑞恩(Madeleine Ryan)的小说《一个叫做地球的房间》(a Room Called Earth, 2020)的神经酷儿阅读。在本文中,我们探索并理论化了一种神经酷儿阅读练习。瑞安的小说通过一种神经发散的文学形式和风格,描绘了一种神经发散的生活和世界体验。阅读是神经分化,内容和形式融合在一起——它不仅仅是“文学风格”,它是一种存在方式。这种阅读,以及我们关于阅读的写作,都不是中立的。这是一种参与式的个人阅读,我们让阅读主题与文本融合在一起。在我们的神经酷儿阅读实践中,重要的是阅读和写作的背景。在这篇文章中,我们探讨了在一个神经发散的集体中分享我们的阅读是如何开启对世界、文本和我们自己的理解的,这既是一种治疗过程,也是一种感官欲望体验的分享。我们认为,当经历是集体的而不是个人的经历时,神经发散性的体验是不同的——阅读的感觉,在分享时变得更有意义。通过我们的阅读,地球之爱是一种感官/文本欲望的体验,以及爱和自爱的神经发散性集体行为。读它的感觉就像爱。
