In this commentary, we respond to Derek Ruez and Daniel Cockayne’s article ‘Feeling Otherwise: Ambivalent Affects and the Politics of Critique in Geography’. We do so by picking up ambivalence—or more precisely, ambivalence about ambivalence—as a tool with which Ruez and Cockayne leave us. We find this tool somewhat difficult to grasp, but we understand this as part of its design. Ambivalence undoes the subject’s mastery. In doing so, we find that an airing of ambivalence gives other kinds of entangled, indeterminate, and unknowing relations room to breathe.

精通技巧：有矛盾吗？

在这篇评论中，我们回应了德里克·鲁伊斯（Derek Ruez）和丹尼尔·科卡恩（Daniel Cockayne）的文章“别样的感觉：地理上的矛盾情绪和批判政治”。为此，我们通过挑起矛盾情绪（或更准确地说，是关于矛盾情绪的矛盾情绪）来作为Ruez和Cockayne离开我们的工具。我们发现此工具有些难以掌握，但我们将其理解为设计的一部分。矛盾会破坏主体的精通能力。在这样做的过程中，我们发现，矛盾的情绪给其他纠缠，不确定和不了解的关系留出了喘息的空间。
