So this is mostly just some ramblings most based off your notes. Hope it's not too presumptuous to stick them here.
Footnote five is badass, but wouldn't the push back against embodied theory run into conflict whith the desire for less-distanced theory?
Even vectors have a system of planes in which they are embedded. One of my math/vision professors constantly complained about people ignoring the imaginary spectrum of the Forier transform because that is where the shape-informations is. You can find all sorts of patterns and typical structures in the real domain, but not the whole of any one thing.
Actually it kind of fits. In the frequency domain you'd have a cluster of "becoming women", but it wouldn't tell you anything about the performers. Were they transgressing or normalizing? Motivated by self or others? We'd need the phase domain to know. A perfectly queer image would be white noise? I have clearly taken this analogy far to far, but I think part of my resistance is that vectors are always incomplete descriptions of the world.
Re: wound of self-definition: I wonder how body mod/bdsm re-interpretations of wounds/pain/desire could influence the separation of self and resistance to emeshment (if that's the right word for the opposite). If such things are taken on willingly and consciously... I'm curious now about traditions of conscious self-other separation in place of unconscious and Othering separation. It might lead to true celebration of diversity/queerness?
I'm working on the original
