lizshayne 's review for:
The Argonauts
by Maggie Nelson
The practice of theory is basically always more interesting than the content of the theory. Nelson knows this and writes her book around it.
The question that it’s ACTUALLY interested in is the role of mother in theorizing and the denigrated emotional experiences of being an enbodied feminine presenting person and how they inform point of view.
So you also kinda have to write that as a theory memoir because to abstract away from it is to cede authority to the dominant cultural paradigm.
And we’re back to the main thrust of the theory is in its practice rather than in its content.
