Straipsnyje analizuojamos dvi prieigos prie Francio Bacono tapybos. Tiek Gilles’io Deleuze’o filosofijai, tiek Alphonso Lingio postfenomenologijai būdingos jautraus kūno, pojūčio ir afekto sąvokos, o jų probleminis statusas geriausiai išryškėja būtent per jų santykį su Bacono tapyba, kuri kaip savo pagrindinį objektą pateikia pažeidžiamo ir intensyviai afektuojamo kūno realybę. Straipsnyje koncentruojamasi į klausimą, kuris inicijavo abu tyrimus. Kas iš tiesų lemia Bacono paveikslų paveikumą: linijos ir spalvos prievartingumas, paneigiantis figūratyvumo faktorių Bacono tapyboje ar, priešingai, paties gyvenimo žiaurumas, patvirtinantis reprezentacijos reikšmę? Straipsnyje (...) teigiama, kad tokias skirtingas interpretacijas lemia skirtinga patirties samprata. Lingis akcentuoja aktualią patirtį, tai leidžia pagrįsti kūrybos, asmeninės kūrėjo patirties ir gyvenamojo pasaulio ryšį. Deleuze’as kalba apie virtualią patirtį, beasmenį gyvenimą, kūną be organų ir naujų perspektyvų kūrimą. (shrink)

Feminist analyses have made important contributions to the sociocultural experiences of pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding. This article draws upon recent theorizing within science studies to focus on the mattering of these processes. Specifically, the article expands upon Mauss's notion of the ‘gift’, which Diprose develops through the idea of ‘corporeal generosity’. I am interested in corporeal generosity insofar as it circumvents descriptions of relationships in terms of a closed economy in which resources are exchanged without excess or remainder. Corporeal generosity (...) refers to the often missed but nevertheless inescapable debt that a body owes to other bodies. At the same time, this embodied ‘gifting’ is both unpredictable and intrusive – there is as much possibility of threatening the integrity of bodies as there is of opening new possibilities. (shrink)
