Awesome video! Very help after reading Barad to have a recap. You rock!!

Is there a pdf available of this paper?

Karen Barad really exemplifies Donna Haraway's situated knowledges in practice. It's a beautiful thing that's emerging between philosophy of language and particle physics under the epistemological strategies known as feminist science. This is the kind of thing that helps women, more feminist science. It's incredibly exciting!

I suppose that it could be good if feminists flocked to "feminist science". Then we could ignore them all as a single group rather than having to ignore them on the many fronts they are currently infecting. If Karen Barad makes sense to you, you should visit a psychiatrist. I'm giving you advice that will be useful to you in the future.

Amazing conversation

is there a script of this?

They teach this in art school. Word salads that sound impressive. I'm sure a few artists have pulled some of her language into their statements.

glad to see such constructive conversation in theses comments lol

Barad doesn't seem to understand basic physics. At 32:10, she claims that "sound waves from the two speakers ... form a sonic diffraction pattern", and some in the audience don't hear a word, while for others the sound is unbearably loud. That's bullshit. The pattern is different for each frequency (which can easily be shown using high school physics and maths) and speech consists of a complex frequency spectrum which changes all the time, so there rarely is a wave of the same frequency for more than a few periods, and there's little noticable interference at any listening position.

Really interesting and a joy to listen to.

A feminist called Karen.

Wonderful ideas! I hear Deleuze all the time, not Derrida...

Lots of gender metaphors in there, lol.

Kent Hovind, not in drag, has received an education.

I don't really get the appeal of any of this, as someone who likes Marx. Barad's use of quantum physics as a metaphor (and I don't like how she conveniently shifts from metaphor to quasi-ontological claims) seems to think that entanglement only makes things indeterminate for human beings, when in fact it makes everything indeterminate. If you think it disintegrates the humanist man, it also disintegrates all matter into some indeterminate Deleuzian fluid lump of becoming or apeiron. It's not that we can't apprehend the world "as it is", it's not a problem of perception. Quantum entanglement is NOT a human-world problem, it's a world-world problem. All matter interactions collapse into phenomena in so far as they become entangled, which means, as far as they become causally effective. What this means is that causality is preceded by indeterminacy and at the quantum level, improbable events may occur. The real "problem" is that nevertheless quantum events tend to "average out" into the concrete macroscopic phenomena we see, just as there is a gap between quantum physics (about the very tiny) and general relativity (about the very large), the large somehow emerges through an averaging out of the probabilistic nature of the very small, and even the very small is only indeterminate in so far as it is non-causal. I'm sympathetic to the idea of disintegrating the humanistic subject or at least complicating it, but not to the point where everything becomes this dumb Deleuzian fluidic nonsense where you can't make a point except through academically witty ironies. Political categories also only make sense if you treat them as emergent and at least semi-concrete rather than fluid.

Political categories are fluid. Race, gender (not sex) are socially constructed categories that change across time and cultures. In pre-colonial times native americans had 5 different “genders”, or in the US if a person had black blood by the one-drop rule, they are blCk while in Brazil if they have european heritage they are not considered black. Identities are fluid when you see it from a transnational lens, required by globalization

Notice the audience reactions. In the midst of her technical language, nearly silent. When she mentions a word like queer, emotive mutters erupt under her speech. That's the only part they think they understand? This audience is more interested in confirming pre-concieved feelings than learning about science.

That is why I try to ask you a question and an answer at the same time, so that we can exchange opinions from our point of view or delve into the topic more, because these topics are very sensitive in our society. Why did the divorce rate rise in Western society and the Islamic society? Or are there organizations that help introduce or encourage feminist movements? This is causing the destruction of our nation and the destruction of society, which has caused the dispersal of families and the loss of families.

Why? Is there some level of "acceptable" discrimination? I don't think so. (If there is, what do you set it as? Also, suppose that the Middle East gets better via feminist action. Is there a time when you, if you could live that long, would tell them to "STOP" continuing with feminist development, and if so, at exactly what point, and why?!)
