Karen River Barad in dialogue with Rebecca Schneider on Barad's forthcoming book "Energetics of the Otherwise: A Laboratory of the Possible."
Karen River Barad's new book, Energetics of the Otherwise: A Laboratory of the Possible, is forthcoming with Yale University Press. The book presents a unique understanding of the inseparability of the theological, political, and scientific aspects of worlding, while offering alternative ways of (re)configuring Kabbalah, materialism, and quantum physics in their intra-relationality. It puts forward a critical methodology that attends to entangled histories of the oppressed and the urgently required messianic work of ever ongoing reparation.
Rebecca Schneider, a performance theorist, has been in conversation with Barad for some time. Their conversations on gesture, worlding, inseparability, interinanimation, emergency, and Black feminist thought -- have informed some of the book's errant currents. Introducing the book, this public conversation will flow and pool in and around some possible thoughts Barad and Schneider have shared in the interstices of their (un)disciplines.
