精彩摘录
  • "We have been warned against it all our lives by the male world, which values this depth of feeling enough to keep women around in order to exercise it in the service of men, but which fears this same depth too much to examine the possibilities of it within themselves. So women are maintained at a di"
  • "The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which, once we have experienced it, we know we can aspire. For having experienced the fullness of this depth of feeling and recognizing its power, i"
  • "that deep and irreplaceable knowledge of my capacity for joy comes to demand from all of my life that it be lived within the knowledge that such satisfaction is possible, and does not have to be called marriage, nor god, nor an afterlife. This is one reason why the erotic is so feared, and so often "
  • "we have attempted to separate the spiritual and the erotic, thereby reducing the spiritual to a world of flattened affect, a world of the ascetic who aspires to feel nothing. But nothing is farther from the truth. For the ascetic position is one of the highest fear, the gravest immobility. The sever"
  • "the considered phrase ‘It feels right to me’ acknowledges the strength of the erotic into a true knowledge, for what that means is the first and most powerful guiding light towards any understanding. And understanding is a handmaiden which can only wait upon, or clarify, that knowledge, deeply born."
  • "we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. Pornography emphasi"
  • "when we look away from ourselves as we satisfy our erotic needs in concert with others, we use each other as objects of satisfaction rather than share our joy in the satisfying, rather than make connection with our similarities and our differences. To refuse to be conscious of what we are feeling at"
  • "anger expressed and translated into action in the service of our vision and our future is a liberating and strengthening act of clarification, for it is in the painful process of this translation that we identify who are our allies with whom we have grave differences, and who are our genuine enemies"
用户评论
Survival is not a theory, and unity does not mean unanimity.（记得两年前看《回归故里》时思考性取向与阶级的交叉，我还很难想象再叠加性别，一个不富裕的黑人女同性恋要如何在这样的社会自处，Audre Lorde 的女权视角拓展了我对 “erotic” 和 “anger” 的理解。
“Interdependency between women is the way to a freedom which allows I to be, not in order to be used, but in order to be creative.” “The master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never enable us to bring about genuine change.”
Audre Lorde 确实读起来非常有感情
I was recommended to read this collection of essays by a secondhand bookshop owner. She said she bought a bag of copies from a local bookshop and gifted them to her friends. Why do we stand up to defend ourselves? Lorde says, 'if I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.'
“Not to believe that revolution is a one-time event, or something that happens around us rather than inside of us. Not to believe that freedom can belong to any one group of us without the others also being free.” 诗歌，爱欲，愤怒，差异… Lorde在其中看到了能够开启一场运动，make a change 的力量；但这每一个也都可能沦为自我瓦解的契机 奢侈，性欲，仇恨，隔阂… We must be responsible for our own liberation.
What u hear is fury, not suffering.
很有激情，特别是同名那篇相当犀利。看完之后思考了一下亚女的尴尬地位，俺们吵来吵去好像还是那点事。内部团不团结婚女，团不团结自由人还打来打去，完全没到racism的高度…黑白之间又隐形了🚬
从自身远古的深处生长出来的藤蔓喷出愤怒的火焰，烧掉历史书去变成历史的一部分
