S1E1 - Notes on Becoming, Becoming With

Tue, 10 Jan 2023 13:32:42 -0000

The Paratext podcast investigates worlds with/in words. In these first three episodes I read to you notes I wrote during a course we put together in my Gender Studies master's programme in May-June of 2022, on the concepts of becoming and relationality and their indebtedness to Indigenous knowledges.

Notes [1] I would suggest that presently there is not a definite finitude to the Dutch colonisation, as it works through us in many ways known and yet unknown. Also the Netherlands is still in dubious asymmetrical interdependency with Aruba, Sint-Marten, Bonaire and Curaçao. For a rich resource of discussions and perspectives pertaining the Dutch colonial histories, see for example The Black Archives: https://www.theblackarchives.nl/.
