Queer Phenomenology of Spirit by Gaygel

[@RC-qf3mp]

@@bennyspizzy HAHAHAHA nice. Clown 🤡. Or should it be “Phenomenology of Queer Spirit” or, “Smells Like Queer Spirit”?

[@gem_stones]

thank you for this! this is so timely! I'm very firmly in the sociological camp as opposed to philosophy but I plan on using Ahmed's work for my thesis and did find it a little daunting :) I've subscribed!

[@jozigalm8159]

This came right on time for my final paper!!! Thank you!

Just discovering Sara Ahmed, so glad I did. This video is very helpful for my Máster application 💗

[@ISpeakMyanmar]

Thank you for making such a great clip in a simple and easy to understand.

[@xtnabcn]

This is a great video! Thank you for the insightful presentation

[@babybirch]

Incredible video as always

[@johannesbaptistlotz9650]

Great video! I loved it. Ahmed's text is one that has been on my to-read list for a while. It sounds like she is critical of Husserl. Whereas Husserl "brackets" the "natural attitude" -- one with culturally-determined values and preferences -- towards pure, unmediated appearances, Ahmed wants to interrogate these background assumptions. It reminds me of Iris Marion Young (of what little I know of her!) and how Young was influenced by Heidegger and Merlau-Ponty. Would you say that Ahmed belongs to the hermeneutical strand of phenomenology? Like Paul Ricœur, Gadamer, and Heidegger.

[@gotterdammerung6088]

Any advice on background for reading Queer Phenomenology? My education has been mostly analytic, excepting personal studies of Foucault and Butler.

"Thinking according to reason is interpreting according to a scheme which we are unable to throw off" (KGW VIII/I, 5 [122])

[@RC-qf3mp]

Wrong, we can assume alternate schemes and compare schemes by interpreting within various schemes. We do it all the time, and science does this when comparing different theories and interpreting results under them. Psychologists do it all the time by interpreting a patient’s situation in terms of cognitive-behavioral models, and psychoanalytic or interpersonal theory, or whatever. Not hard, not complicated, the quotation says something false.

[@JS-dt1tn]

@@RC-qf3mp It's an analogy... I think you mistook the forest for the trees there pal.

[@RC-qf3mp]

@@JS-dt1tn it’s a direct quote. It’s not an analogy. It’s a false and sloppy statement for a philosopher. It’s a deep, important, core philosophical issue. If you want to see how a professional handles this problem, see Heidegger, Being & Time, Division 1, where he discusses the circular of understanding. The point isn’t to get ‘out’ of the circle, but to be in it in the right way. The quotation you provide suggests a hankering for wanting to throw it off but being unable to. No. Wrong. Ahmed is minor league.

[@JS-dt1tn]

@@RC-qf3mp The quote, within the context, is attempting to affirm the type of claim that you're putting forward. Also, a quote can absolutely be a quote of an analogical claim. They are not mutually exclusive. Also, quoting H as if he is the end of philosophy on the topic is usually considered foolish. There is no objective answer to the topic, so claiming authority via H is silly, nevertheless it is your choice to do so.

[@JS-dt1tn]

@@RC-qf3mp Also are you insinuating that this quote comes from Ahmed? It comes from Nietzsche. I can promise you he was writing analogically... you can go find it and read the context if you want. He was not attempting to "shake" anything off as you claim.

Lol, I just found it for my class, thank so you so much man

[@nilesloughlin6845]

Are there any Marxist critiques of this text? I find that a lot of Ahmed’s broad concepts serve as great additions to the foundation that phenomenology sets up for how to consider perspectives and interactions with objects in the world, but that the more conclusive details they suggest break down when carried to their terminal implications. When considering a materialist perspective of how consciousness projects itself onto the material world, the idea that objects in themselves possess innate and subjective qualities seems to break down to me, as these qualities would be more or less the subjective projections of an individual onto the conditions that determine material objects in themselves - even if subjective perspectives do influence objects created by humans to some degree.

David you beautiful, beautiful man. Lets talk about something important, how do you shape those flawless eyebrows? I need to learn to do that.

[@TheoryPhilosophy]

Of course! Get it done at a salon, and then you'll know how they should be shaped. Fairly easy to do it yourself after that :)

Going to be teaching in Montreal perchance?

[@JJ-oz3lf]

you are good at explaining in a clear and straight forward way :) all those philosophers should take you as example :D

[@amalia01]

Good luck there is a white man that can explain this for me🤣 haha But for real, thank you so much for this! It's really helpful

[@TedNebraski]

most phenomenological philosophers are white man esp the father of phenomenology. If you have an issue with white men then stop reading philosophy, most of the classics of sociology, psychology, anthropology, etc.

[@danielaweiss6293]
