- 요약Peripheral Spill: Sex, Loss, Asian American Queer Performance examines the function of loss, lack, and absence in Asian American sexual subjectivity and sexual representation via a study of queer Asian American art and performance. It engages loss-emergent from histories of dispossession, assimilation, cultural erasure, and exclusion-as an intersubjective phenomenon that produces psychical gaps and absences which rend Asian American subjects from historical grounding and social/cultural belonging. Bringing the theory of racial melancholia to bear on the study of Asian American sexuality, I underscore loss's relationship to the lacks endemic to Orientalist constructions of gender and sexuality that figure Asian American bodies as passive, submissive, or otherwise queerly receptive. Within these prescriptions, Peripheral Spill explores how a key selection of contemporary artists work through and engender intimacy, desire, and relation across the diffuse losses of queer Asian American life through the performance and aestheticization of queer sexual practices. I sit with the art of TT Takemoto, Dean Sameshima, Hoang Tan Nguyen, Patty Chang, and Candice Lin, who work across performance, photography, video, and installation art. The works under consideration share a set of formal and conceptual concerns around the aesthetics of absence, lack, and ephemeral remains which structure how the queer Asian American subject figures as pliable, voided, or lost within sexual and social relation.Drawing interdisciplinarily across Asian American studies, performance studies, queer of color critique, and psychoanalysis, I argue that these artists engage the afterwards of loss not as a stultifying breakdown of self, but as a condition of possibility for doing, knowing, and imagining sex, subjectivity, and relation otherwise. Driven by queer and critical ethnic studies' articulations of melancholia as a critical practice of becoming, I analyze the works' melancholic performances of holding, such as withholding, holding together, holding oneself, and holding on after loss.These performances take on a necessarily erotic valence as forms of psychic and bodily intake which, through the private and inward turns of such practices, refigure how notions of penetrability, pliability, and passivity are experienced and embodied. I argue that these melancholic and queer performances of holding render at once sensuous and unrepresentable the Asian American subject's singularity as a relational being. This dissertation thus contributes to discourses on relationality and difference across queer theory, feminist theory, and queer of color critique by positioning loss as a key dynamic in the entanglements of Asian American difference and queer relationality. Further, it posits sex and queer sexual practice as enlivening performances of managing and maneuvering through loss, of remaining open towards the past and to others while maintaining the inarticulable specificity of queer Asian American life.
