Abstract
these are things people can do to themselves they are: leave molotov cocktail on own yard set fi re to own house leave a glass of urine on own porch leave an envelope of feces outside own door send a butcher knife to self at work send letter to health department that self is spreading VD stab own back (Spahr, “thrashing seems crazy,” Response) The enemy is no longer outside. Increasingly, the enemy is no longer even identifi able as such. Ever-present dangers blend together, barely distinguishable in their sheer numbers. Or, in their proximity to pleasure and intertwining with the necessary functions of body, self, family, economy, they blur into the friendly side of life. . . . Fear is not fundamentally an emotion. It is the objectivity of the subjective under late capitalism. (Massumi, “Everywhere You Want to Be” 10–12)
这些都是人们可以对自己做的事情:把燃烧瓶放在自己的院子里放火烧掉自己的房子，在自己的门廊上留下一杯尿液，在自己的门外留下一个粪便信封，在自己的门外给自己送一把屠刀，在工作的时候给卫生部门写信，说自己在传播VD，刺伤自己的背部(斯巴尔，“鞭打似乎很疯狂”，回应)敌人不再在外面了。越来越多的人甚至连敌人的身份都无法辨认了。无处不在的危险交织在一起，从数量上几乎无法区分。或者，在它们与快乐的接近中，与身体、自我、家庭、经济的必要功能交织在一起，它们模糊地进入了生活的友好一面. . . .恐惧根本不是一种情绪。它是资本主义后期主体性的客观性。(Massumi，《Everywhere You Want to Be》10-12)
期刊介绍：
differences: A Journal of Feminist Cultural Studies first appeared in 1989 at the moment of a critical encounter—a head-on collision, one might say—of theories of difference (primarily Continental) and the politics of diversity (primarily American). In the ensuing years, the journal has established a critical forum where the problematic of differences is explored in texts ranging from the literary and the visual to the political and social. differences highlights theoretical debates across the disciplines that address the ways concepts and categories of difference—notably but not exclusively gender—operate within culture.
