Oh no why did you end there. Say more about that last statement- why does it stand out how does that help encapsulate her work?

I think I was cutting it close to the assignment's deadline when I made this video (hence the kind of abrupt ending), but one of the reasons that quote really stood out to me was that Kosofsky Sedwick's work was largely about celebrating differences and breaking down boundaries. She didn't really believe in trying to make things fit into neat little boxes. Nuance was very important to her, and one of the things she really focused on in Tendencies (the work "Queer and Now" was eventually published in) was this idea of "queer" as a nebulous term. She gives one definition of it in Tendencies as "the open mesh of possibilities, gaps, overlaps, dissonances and resonances, lapses and excesses of meaning when the constituent elements of anyone's gender, of anyone's sexuality aren't made (or can't be made) to signify monolithically.” She saw no value in trying to force self-narratives to fit the frameworks that existed already but instead wanted to create new frameworks and theories that could describe those self-narratives.

@@jnicolemiller945 well Great submission then I hope you did well in the class. Sedgewick as the tutular founder of queeer theory so often gets presented by those who are so immersed in that incestuous pit of self referential flights from the real world reveling in their own taxonomies and word smiting trying so very heard to believe that their belief will make others believe and like a chorus of child readers clapping Their self centered mean and deadly brutal little deconstructionist Tinkerbelle like hearts alive in thee face of teh poison they may have drunk. I digress.
