When you start trying to dismantle the female sex category because you assert that there is some other category for ‘woman identity’ that is more meaningful to how society should operate then you better have an objective basis to do so bcoz then you’re putting subjectivities before a material class.

We have to admit that some of the things we like are products of capitalism. It couldn't be otherwise; we ourselves are products of capitalism, subjectivities as they exist under capitalism. Art as we know it, as personal expression of an individual artistic personality, is a product of capitalism

I don't know, I guess I'm just constantly disappointed by the tendency towards finding ways to deny a subject position to queerness in the show's reception, even as the show itself appears invested in queer subjectivities.

me, I went weirder, want to encourage all of us to see and treat each other as fellow subjectivities (functional religious mode) because I want to weave in an add-on to the technological history that humans have built over the millenia, and tech seduces us to think of everyone/ourselves as objects

i collect old card decks for a hobby (playing cards are sublime human games), so I’m biased, but, as uhhh tools for subjectivities (not scientific or objective claims) tarot’s like a cool boost to my own journaling and inner labyrinth walking.

"Queer theories demand 'an ongoing reconfiguring an iterative reworking of past, present, future.'" Our research and teaching should support students' and researchers' need to "birth our biases and subjectivities into being," allowing us to "connect with those creations rather than abhor them." 5/

One thing that makes exploring researcher subjectivities risky is that they get immediately tied with concepts of bias. And "postpositivist investment in research objectivity positions bias as something that must be eradicated." Such that researcher subjectivity becomes a "problem to be managed." 2/

That these subjectivities could never be fully known is the central theme of the book.
This epistemological limitation was not simply a matter of cognition, however, but in fact destabilized the whole slave system as a relation of domination and social control, as Giannella argues.
