《伊丽莎白·毕肖普的进化诗学》理论化了伊丽莎白·毕肖普诗学中的酷儿达尔文主义和生命政治投资。毕肖普学术界倾向于将她视为一位非政治诗人。我通过解释她早期与约翰·杜威的美学政治哲学和达尔文进化论的关系来挑战这种阅读。我认为，毕肖普在三十年代的诗学——受到该十年激进主义的影响——试图从达尔文主义的科学唯物主义和约翰·杜威的美学哲学中提供一种政治理想。我追溯了她的哲学和政治背景，并用它们作为一种探究这些人物如何帮助她阐明酷儿后人类政治的方式。
“Elizabeth Bishop’s Evolutionary Poetics” theorizes the queer Darwinian and biopolitical investment of Elizabeth Bishop’s poetics. There is a tendency in Bishop scholarship to read her as an apolitical poet. I challenge this reading by providing an exegesis of her early affiliations with John Dewey’s aesthetic-political philosophy and Darwinian evolution. I argue that Bishop’s poetics in the thirties—shaped by the radicalism of the decade—sought to furnish a political ideal out of the scientific materialism of Darwinism and the aesthetic philosophy of John Dewey. I trace her philosophical and political affiliations and use them as a mode of inquiry into how these figures helped her to articulate a queer posthuman politics.
