Abstract

This discussion concerns the under-explored influence of Jacques Derrida on Paul B. Preciado and the autotheoretical enterprise that is Testo Junkie. Picking up on the deconstructive logic of contamination at work in Preciado’s early writings, the article reckons with autotheory as both a theoretical mode motored by the first person and an autobiographical mode interested in self-shaping. In so doing, it offers a genealogy of autotheory that finds its origins in Derrida’s disinterest in disciplinary purity and dislike of philosophical detachment, at the same time as positioning Testo Junkie firmly within a French literary and philosophical context where it both intervenes in the activity of queer theorizing and antagonizes the highly popular genre of autofiction through a series of generic contaminations. Autotheory, in this itinerary, is inseparable from the self-writing project that Preciado undertakes and advocates, one that disidentifies from the fiction of a privately sexed and interior ‘self’.

Paul B.Preciado与流派污染
这个讨论涉及到雅克·德里达对保罗·b·普雷西亚多和自我理论事业德斯托·朱基的未被探索的影响。从普雷西亚多早期作品中关于污染的解构逻辑入手,文章认为自论既是一种由第一人称驱动的理论模式,也是一种对自我塑造感兴趣的自传体模式。通过这样做,它提供了一个自述理论的谱系,它的起源是德里达对学科纯洁性的不感兴趣和对哲学超然的厌恶,同时,它将《德图·Junkie》牢牢地定位在法国文学和哲学的语境中,在这个语境中,它既介入了酷儿理论的活动,又通过一系列普遍的污染来对抗高度流行的自述小说类型。在这段旅程中,自论与普雷西亚多所承担和倡导的自我写作项目是分不开的,它与一个私人性的和内在的“自我”的虚构是不一致的。
