Mutually Implicated and Intra-Actively Enhanced Commons: Diffractive Readings of Tyler’s and Barad’s Theories
Abstrakt
The article proposes a diffractive reading that weaves together two approaches that, at first glance, appear distant and seemingly incompatible: Stephen Tyler’s postmodern anthropology and Karen Barad’s agential realism. A consequence of this diffractive methodology is the claim that postmodern anthropology and agential realism do not constitute opposing elements, but rather mutually implicated significant Otherness. To strengthen the argument, the article adopts a two-part structure. The first part aims to reveal points of convergence between the two approaches through reflection on the non-representationalist tradition within the (post)humanities and social sciences. The second part, problematizing the relationships between significant Others, explores the possibility of articulating intra-action, relationality, and nonhuman agency without falling into the aporias of the grammar of Indo-European languages, which impose constraints on the expression of onto-epistemological assumptions.
