I thought I'd start a journal again, to document shifts in my life, work and subjectivity. I have been promising myself all these months that I will revise Ethnographer as Parrhesiast . I have not really started making an effort until the world has demanded I do. And well, life circumstances have also allowed that I do. I am stuck thinking about the comments of Reviewer 1 - notably how parrhesia (Foucault) and diffraction (Barad) hang together. I am revisiting old drafts, my summaries of the CdF lectures, and secondary commentary on the concepts, hoping for inspiration. It's a bit like reading tea leaves. Or waiting for inspiration to fall like manna from heaven.
