Abstract

ABSTRACT Thinking through the concept of “seeing as touching” as articulated in the work of Laura Marks, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, and queer filmmaker Barbara Hammer, this article uses a research-creation approach involving somatic and visual prompts to explore questions around intimacy, visuality, touch, and distance. Building on the concepts of desirability hierarchies and economies of care, it investigates connections between fatphobia and feelings of desire and disgust, highlighting the complex role that sensations can play in reproducing and reinforcing normative body standards and white supremacist power structures. The article includes still photographs from a video-based exploration of a fat “haptic visuality” and suggests a connection between the generative ambiguity such an approach to making images can allow for and the inherent transgressive potential of fat embodiment.

近了。肥胖、欲望和视觉都是动人的
通过劳拉·马克斯、莫里斯·梅洛-庞蒂和酷儿电影制作人芭芭拉·哈默在作品中所阐述的“视如触摸”的概念,本文采用一种涉及身体和视觉提示的研究-创造方法来探索有关亲密、视觉、触摸和距离的问题。基于欲望等级和护理经济的概念,它调查了肥胖恐惧症与欲望和厌恶之间的联系,强调了感觉在复制和加强规范的身体标准和白人至上主义权力结构中可以发挥的复杂作用。这篇文章包括了一组基于视频的关于脂肪“触觉视觉”探索的静态照片,并提出了这种制作图像的方法所允许的生成模糊性与脂肪体现的内在越界潜力之间的联系。
