CRITIQUE SUMMARY — Jacqui Lorber-Kasunic

Chat with Jacqui Lorber-Kasunic 
22/5/2020


  • Questions a good place to start from, last two are getting specific and interesting. 
  • Define 'multiplying', 'multiplicity'... n-dimensionality. Explain the metaphor-analogy of space and dimensions
  • Diversifying and complexifying identity, generatively. Generativity as expanding possibility
  • Agrees with Jacqueline Gothe — examine them separately first, and set it up properly. Why are they valuable for a way forward. Problematise it first, is there a lack of spectrum and how can the witch-cyborg body point to an alternate politics. Setting up a theoretical foundation. 
  • Read more, find more texts. A lot to draw from, writing on Haraway's cyborg, Haraway herself. Look more at posthuman theory
  • Witches — super rich field of scholarship: literature, women's/gender studies, history. Do keyword search on various databases. Find 2-3 more texts to flesh out these tropes/constructions and establish their definitions and possibilities, then build your argument
  • Methodology — interpretive lenses. Intersectionality, moving out of normative/hegemonic power structures and ways of being. Why this is approach is important. 
  • Wordplay and language. Can talk about this in methodology. A post-structuralist perspective — language as a constraining force on what is possible (logocentrism), and with an intersectional lenses can unpack further. 
  • Texts for intersectionality — look into intersectional, feminist theorists. Need to define it, and the theorists you're drawing from. 
  • Who else has built on Haraway's cyborg?
  • 'How might this inherent deviance be multiplied?' Think about how design fits into this context. How does design play a role in realising this deviance and mutliplicity!
