"The problem is not simply about the content of what she is saying. She is
doing more than saying the wrong thing: she is getting in the way of
something, the achievement or accomplishment of the family or of some
we or another, which is created by what is not said” (Ahmed 37).]]> 2023-05-01 20:39:28 UTC https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574200890 https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574203114 Reading Ahmed helps us to read our own lives. Using what Ahmed talks about to understand a piece of text that comes from within our own community is an active application of feminist theory into practice. I want to consider this piece in the context of what we've discussed in this class and what we've come to understand from the help of Ahmed.]]> 2023-05-01 20:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574203114 logantunick https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574203706 Citation is how we acknowledge our debt to those who came before; those who helped us find our way when the way was obscured because we deviated from the paths we were told to follow. In this book, I cite feminists of color who have contributed to the project of naming and dismantling the institutions of patriarchal whiteness. I consider this book primarily as a contribution to feminist of color scholarship and activism; this body of work is where I feel most at home, where I find energy as well as resources. Citations can be feminist bricks: they are the materials through which, from which, we create our dwellings. My citation policy has affected the kind of house I have built (Ahmed 16)]]> 2023-05-01 20:43:41 UTC https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574203706 logantunick https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574204265 2023-05-01 20:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574204265 https://padlet.com/marissanerenberg16/df5svis6gi64zf9j/wish/2574204903 "If talking about sexism and racism is heard as damaging institutions, we need to damage institutions" (Brick Walls, 140).
