Sigilism, Feminism, Systemism
Sep. 7th, 2012 01:00 amThe art of Spare's sigil-work is in many ways anathema to me, in that the forgetting is the thing I most want to hold on to.
Today we talked about gender binaries, essentialism, and fluidity in class. We talked about invisible architectures of bias, and feminist ethics. We talked about the fact that one can have an entire conception which is driven by unperceived factors. One of my students talked with me for about 45 minutes, after my first class, about the tension between gender essentialism, evolutionary psychology, and and the multiplicity of mediated perceptions of reality.
We need context, conception, and orientation, in order to speak, but that doesn't mean they are invariable.
Goodnight.
