Abstract
The term “raw feel” originates in twentieth-century psychology to name the inner, conscious properties of experience. This article redefines the raw feel as a phenomenology of feminine queer body experience that responds to instances of gaslighting. Reading Carmen Maria Machado’s Her Body and Other Parties (2017) to explore raw feeling’s relations to sex, numbness, and finding agency in unexpected places, I show that raw feeling challenges distinctions between surface and allegorical modes of reading.
“原始感觉”一词起源于20世纪的心理学，用来命名经验的内在意识属性。这篇文章将原始感觉重新定义为女性酷儿身体体验的现象学，这是对煤气灯实例的回应。阅读卡门·玛丽亚·马查多(Carmen Maria Machado)的《她的身体和其他派对》(2017)，探索原始感觉与性、麻木和在意想不到的地方寻找代理的关系，我表明原始感觉挑战了表面和寓言阅读模式之间的区别。
