Notes of a video
presentation 2014
Meeting the
Universe Halfway 2007
Diffracting
Diffraction: Cutting Together–Apart. 2014
Troubling Time/s (written
10 years after the book, another diffractive
reading with an experimental novella) (2017)
On
Touching (nd)
Quantum
Entanglement as Derrida's hauntology
(2010)
On nothingness (develops
more on the quantum vacuum as in the above)
(2016)
Post-human
performativity (a 2003 piece outlining the
basics of the 2007 book --dense
theorising)
On Foucault and Butler
(an early 1998 discussion -- the material is
summarised in the 2007 book chapters 4 & 5.
It does not describe her method as
'diffraction')
Interview 2012 (
good on the context in working with fellow
physisicists who got fed up with being
criticised etc) (the Finns 2012a)
Another interview
in Mousse (on intra-action
but also queerness. Really about the piece
below. Tired circular terminology) (2012b)
Nature's queer
performativity (Very long recap of much
of the 2007 book. In the Finnish journal.
More explanation of the quantum eraser
experiment. More examples of queer animals and
phenomena and refs to Bagemihl below . Lots of
repetition and mutually-supporting definitions
tending to mystifying bullshit. Lots of
references to people like Kirby or
Schrader who are used to support (2012c)
Interview in Dolphijn
and van der Tuin's book (more clarity
about diffracting feminism and physics, and the
centrality of ethics) (2012d)
On trans sexuality
(Barad 2015)
Quick summaries of
book chapters
See also commentaries and 'applications':
Murris and Bozalek
(advice for the would-be diffractor)
Murris and
Bozalek (diffracting Barad and Deleuze)
Murris (on two
progressive approaches)
Udén has
an excellent critique based on a literature
review of 51 'applications' of diffraction
Three examples of
diffractive readings (Cheder, Lenz
Taguchi & Palmer, Mazzei)
Geerts & van der
Tuin (diffractive reading of de
Beauvoir and Irigaray)
Lenz Taguchi
on diffractively reading research data
Hollin et al on
relations with 'mainstream' STS and the ethical
implications of agential cuts as they exclude
alternatives
Hill comparing
reflective and diffractive teacher practitioners
Ulmer 'diffracting'
Bennett and Anzaldúa to see that teacher
leadership is complex
Sehgal 'diffracts'
(works in) Whitehead -- why?
Lanas et al address
some interesting work on how trainee teachers
manage educational theory - not as resistance,
they conclude but as diffraction
Pinch -- an
excellent review and critique from a science
studies perspective -- and see Barad's reply, using all
the elements of her argument in the 2007 book.
Ahmed's polemic
defending Butler et al ( and see van der Tuin's brief
reply)
van der Tuin

Several comparisons with Deleuze eg van der Tuin
( on diffraction)
(Variable) notes on books and articles Barad
cites and sometimes 'diffracts'
Anzaldúa on
indigenous knowledge, spirituality and social
marginality
Bagemihl
on homosexual animals (hilarious zoological
positivism mostly)
Fernandes on
worker relations in jute mills in India
(hegemony problematic really)
Kirby page (V that
is) on culture as nature and deconstruction via
Derrida --includes a very useful critical piece
on contexting the new materialism, including
Barad.
Schrader page --
gripping stuff on (complex) scientific disputes
ending in Barad/Derrida
Ziarek --how to
materialise Levinas and rescue him for feminism
Two more general discussion
papers of my own:
Vol
1 -- a critical discussion on Barad on the
applicability of quantum theory
Vol
2 -- a critical discussion of diffraction
as a methodology in qualitative research
