Barad is willing to go so far as to say that we give language more power than it deserves.
That's a nice change from some of the "symbols all the way down!" notes that've wandered past.
You could say the same about theoretical perspectives, that they're not just observational tools but are actually generating the picture that we see when we use them.
This feels like a thought worth chewing on. Having an equally solid grip on multiple theoretical perspectives is tricky!

I am enjoying your notes.
