Karen Barad

I thought this would connect well to Denise's thoughts about different conceptions of spacetime, the limits that fixed spacetime and linear movement put on knowledge and change.  This is a great talk by Karen Barad, a feminist theorist/philosopher with a deep background in theoretical physics. She talks about how the field of quantum physics contributes to the tools of 'homogenous empty time,' linear, capitalistic time, the globalized spacetime grid--but as well can connect forces with 'indigenous cosmologies and ontoepistemologies,' a spatial understanding of history, undoing the idea that there is a ever a fixed Future.
