This article explores the relationship of shame to class and to desire in Michelle Tea's memoir The Passionate Mistakes and Intricate Corruption of One Girl in America. Through applying a class analytic to the framework of shame recently advanced by feminist, queer, postcolonial, and affect theorists, I foreground shame as central to the experience of being poor and queer, and examine shame as not only negative and positive, but as productive. I operationalize an “oppositional reading strategy” to insist on attention to the materiality of embodied desire and labor, in particular queer desire and sex work, that is made available in poor and working‐class women's life‐writing. Tea's memoir demonstrates how writing about an ambivalent relation to shame is an act of resistance, an opportunity to transform private, individual experiences into public, and therefore collective, articulations.

“一切都纠缠在一起”：米歇尔·泰恩（Michelle Tea）的《美国一个女孩的热情过失和错综复杂的腐败》中的阶级，欲望和耻辱

本文探讨了米歇尔·泰恩（ Michelle Tea）的回忆录《美国一个女孩的激情失误和错综复杂的腐败》中羞耻与阶级和欲望之间的关系。。通过对女权主义者，酷儿，后殖民主义者和情感理论家最近提出的羞辱框架进行分类分析，我将羞耻作为贫穷和酷儿的经验的核心，并将羞辱不仅视为消极的和积极的，而且认为是富有成效的。我实施“反对阅读策略”以坚持关注体现的欲望和劳动的重要性，尤其是酷儿的欲望和性工作，这在贫穷和工人阶级的女性生活中可以得到。茶的回忆录证明，撰写与羞耻的矛盾关系是一种抵制行为，是一种将私人的，个人的经历转变为公共的，从而成为集体的表达的机会。
