Over the course of her long career, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick became
one of the most important voices in queer theory, and her calls for
reparative criticism and reading practices grounded in affect and
performance have transformed understandings of affect, intimacy,
politics, and identity. With marked tenderness, the contributors to
Reading Sedgwick reflect on Sedgwick's many critical inventions,
from her elucidation of poetry's close relation to criticism and
development of new versions of queer performativity to highlighting
the power of writing to engender new forms of life. As the essays
in Reading Sedgwick demonstrate, Sedgwick's work is not only an
ongoing vital force in queer theory and affect theory; it can help
us build a more positive world in the midst of the bleak
contemporary moment. Contributors. Lauren Berlant, Kathryn Bond
Stockton, Judith Butler, Lee Edelman, Jason Edwards, Ramzi Fawaz,
