"model of theoria as a distanced look or regard taken upon an object is intrsinically normalizing,"
Is there a word left out there, or not? Is there a "that" between "object" and "is," or not? Because otherwise I can't actually parse this sentence, though perhaps it would make more sense in-context.
I've never heard of Irigaray. Thoughts on where to start reading?
Forgive me, but WTF does "a fundamental cut across all things" mean? Is it cut in the sense of mental dissection, getting deeper into the heart of the self through interrogating everything? How is one supposed to perform this cut?
I read this twice: Actually here: The gist is that rather than drag being an embodied man taking on a female presentation in some gendered matrix of understanding, it's a particular enactment of the non-inherently-bodied-vector "becoming-woman."
And then I understood this: a liberation of essence and distinction from the lived world."
Ok, so. But does it somehow...sully those Platonic ideals, sully the queering of the theory, when they're brought into the real world to be enacted, by men in drag or whomever? (If so, then does that make platonic ideals that cannot yet be enacted in the real world, like phantom wing syndrome, more queer as ideas than, say, gender theory?)
Also, holy shit. Are all these people you cited here just things you downed in your spare time while no one noticed?
