Oscillations of Literary Theory" offers a new psychoanalytic approach to reading literature
queerly, one that implicates queer theory without depending on explicit representations
of sex or queer identities. By focusing on desire and identifications, A.C. Facundo
argues that readers can enjoy the text through a variety of rhythms between two (eroticized)
positions: the paranoid imperative and queer reparative. Facundo examines the metaphor
of rupture as central to the logic of critique, particularly the project to undo conventional
formations of identity and power. To show how readers can rebuild their relational
worlds after the rupture, Facundo looks to the themes of the desire for omniscience,
the queer pleasure of the text, loss and letting go, and the vanishing points that
structure thinking. Analyses of Nabokov?s Lolita, Danielewski?s House of Leaves, Findley?s
The Wars, and Ishiguro?s Never Let Me Go are included, which model this new approach
to reading
