Abstract

Lest I overemphasize the commonality between Dauber's and Yao's works, let me note that they differ in their theoretical approaches, text selections, and conclusions. While the reading of Jacobs seems to leave out knowledge we do have - of her efforts to compose her narrative, most obviously - this moment strikingly unsettles the relation between Dauber's and Yao's works. Where Dauber proposes that uncertainty about the premise that we can understand and feel for another is inevitable, Yao helps us consider how specific sets of cultural circumstances - most especially histories of gender and racialization - provoke refusals of fellow feeling.
