How to Make a Queer Scene, or Notes toward a Practice of Affective Curation
2016
Overview
Ramzi Fawaz recounts two pedagogical scenarios about teaching queer- and AIDS-related materials to university students because they illuminate a central, yet often uninterrogated, aspect of the contemporary national debates around trigger warnings: namely the slippage between actual experiences of psychological trauma triggered byviolent or disturbing media content, and the generalized feeling of discomfort aroused in students when they encounter objects, secnarios and ideas contrary to their worldview. While these two definitions of triggering do not carry the same epistemic or ethical gravitas, the reactions of students being made uncomfortable can catalyze openness to interrogating their affective responses to the world or can create a defensive posture against perceived threats to their point of view. This essay explores the pedagogical necessity of \"triggering\" students (in the sense of jolting them out of their psychological and ontological complacency) to allow for new insight and learning to happen within such discomfort.
