Of course academics should talk about pleasure. Why would we trivialize what is so obviously so important to us? Talking about pleasure is complex and messy and varied. I think it got a bad rap somehow as an opiate of the masses, because art should be upsetting people so they want to change their situation — and I’m all for that. But I don’t think that necessarily means that pleasure is apolitical, innocent, impotent or disempowering. It can, of course, be dangerous, but surely that is one of its charms.
