Grammaires intimes. Langage, subjectivité et genre : discussion anthropologique et psychanalytique

RÉSUMÉGrammaires intimes. Langage, subjectivité et genre : discussion anthropologique et psychanalytiqueCet essai examine comment la métapragmatique et la psychanalyse comprennent le langage, le genre et le désir. Il met en évidence le défi que suscitent pour l'une et l'autre discipline leurs différentes approches de la langue, du genre et du désir. Il soutient qu'une solide théorie de la langue et du genre nécessite que nous voyions la subjectivité comme un ordre de phénomène distinct, si on pouvait l'en extraire, des ordres sémantiques et pragmatiques du phénomène du langage. Et il soutient que lorsqu'on observe la structure et l'usage du langage du point de vue du sujet, on perçoit qu'ils possèdent leur propre forme de signaux, fonction et capacité d'être le médium de communication d'une forme particulière d'être, l'être humain qui doit devenir sujet parlant.Cet article propose deux modestes suggestions pour commencer à comprendre les interre-lations entre langage et subjectivité. II commence avec un survol très bref des approches de l'anthropologie contemporaine du langage pour l'étude du genre et de la sexualité. Il décrit ensuite la grammaire intime des sujets parlants en conjuguant les travaux récents de la métapragmatique et du genre avec une discussion d'inspiration psychanalytique sur la subjectivité et le désir.Mots clés : Povinelli. langage, genre, métapragmatique. psychanalyse, subjectivitéABSTRACTIntimate Grammars : Anthropological and Psychoanalytical Accounts of Language. Subjectivity. and GenderThis essay discusses metapragmatic and psychoanalytic understandings of language. gender and desire. It discusses the challenge each disciplinary approach to language. gender and désire poses to the other. It argues that a robust theory of language and gender necessitates we view subjectivity as an order of phenomenon distinct, if only extractible. from semantic and pragmatic orders of linguistic phenomena. And it argues that when language structure and usage is viewed from the point-of-view of the subject. they are seen to carry in their signal form. function. and capacity the condition of being the communica-tive medium of a particular from of beings. a human being who must become speaking subject. The essay suggests two modest proposais as a way of beginning to understand the interrelationship between language and subjectivity. It begins with a very brief overview of contemporary linguistic anthropological approaches to gender and sexuality. It then describes the intimate grammar of speaking-subjects by articulating recent work in metapragmatics and gender with a psychoanalytically inspired account subjectivity and desire.Key words : Povinelli. language. gender. metapragmatics. psychoanalysis. subjectivit

Geontology: Life and Finitude in Late Liberalism

1 h 24 minIn the far north of Australia, the Aboriginal Areas Protection Authority brought a gutsy desecration lawsuit against OM Manganese Ltd for deliberating damaging an Indigenous sacred site, Two Women Sitting Down, at its Bootu Creek Manganese mine. It was not, I should note, prosecuted as manslaughter, attempted murder, or murder. This talk uses the desecration and partial destruction of Two Women Sitting Down as a graphic material condensation of a critical question facing current global thought, namely, is our struggle to persist in a specific arrangement–our insistence that we maintain a certain form of life—creating the wastelands and deserts that will annul our existence? How will our conception, representation, and mediatization of the claims that the nonhuman and nonliving have on our world. Elizabeth A. Povinelli is Professor of Anthropology and Gender Studies at Columbia University. Povinelli’s writing has focused on developing a critical theory of late liberalism. Her work has been featured in recent discussions on the Anthropocene for example, in e-flux and various platforms. She is the author of “Labor’s Lot” (Chicago, 1994), “The Cunning of Recognition” (Duke, 2002), “The Empire of Love” (Duke, 2006) and “Economies of Abandonment: Social Belonging and Endurance in Late Liberalism” (Duke, 2011) as well as the short film, “Karrabing, Low Tide Turning” and a graphic memoir.

Pragmáticas íntimas: linguagem, subjetividade e gênero

Este artigo discute entendimentos metapragmáticos e psicanalíticos de linguagem, gênero e desejo. Discute o desafio que cada abordagem disciplinar sobre linguagem, gênero e desejo coloca uma para a outra. Argumenta que uma teoria robusta de linguagem e gênero precisa que a subjetividade seja vista como uma ordem de fenômeno distinta das ordens semântica e pragmática do fenômeno linguístico. O artigo sugere duas propostas modestas como uma maneira de começar a entender a inter-relação entre linguagem e subjetividade. Começa com um breve panorama das abordagens linguístico-antropológicas para gênero e sexualidade. Então descreve a pragmática íntima do sujeito falante articulando trabalhos recentes sobre metapragmática e gênero com uma abordagem de inspiração psicanalítica sobre subjetividade e desej
